# Formal Verification (Security Models)
|
||||
|
||||
This page tracks Clawdbot’s **formal security models** (TLA+/TLC today; more as needed).
|
||||
|
||||
**Goal (north star):** provide a machine-checked argument that Clawdbot enforces its
|
||||
intended security policy (authorization, session isolation, tool gating, and
|
||||
misconfiguration safety), under explicit assumptions.
|
||||
|
||||
**What this is (today):** an executable, attacker-driven **security regression suite**:
|
||||
- Each claim has a runnable model-check.
|
||||
- Most claims have a paired **negative model** that produces a counterexample trace for a realistic bug class.
|
||||
|
||||
**What this is not (yet):** a proof that “Clawdbot is secure in all respects” or that the full TypeScript implementation is correct.
|
||||
|
||||
## Where the models live
|
||||
|
||||
Models are maintained in a separate repo: `vignesh07/clawdbot-formal-models`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Reproducing results
|
||||
|
||||
From the models repo:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/openjdk@21/bin:$PATH" # or any Java 11+
|
||||
make <target>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Gateway exposure / open gateway misconfig
|
||||
|
||||
**Claim:** binding beyond loopback without auth makes remote compromise reachable; token/password blocks unauth attackers.
|
||||
|
||||
- Green runs:
|
||||
- `make gateway-exposure-v2`
|
||||
- `make gateway-exposure-v2-protected`
|
||||
- Red (expected):
|
||||
- `make gateway-exposure-v2-negative`
|
||||
|
||||
See also: `docs/gateway-exposure-matrix.md` in the models repo.
|
||||
|
||||
### Nodes.run pipeline (highest-risk capability)
|
||||
|
||||
**Claim:** `nodes.run` requires (a) node command allowlist + declared commands and (b) live approval when configured; approvals are tokenized to prevent replay.
|
||||
|
||||
- Green runs:
|
||||
- `make nodes-pipeline`
|
||||
- `make approvals-token`
|
||||
- Red (expected):
|
||||
- `make nodes-pipeline-negative`
|
||||
- `make approvals-token-negative`
|
||||
|
||||
### Pairing store (DM gating)
|
||||
|
||||
**Claim:** pairing requests respect TTL and pending-request caps.
|
||||
|
||||
- Green runs:
|
||||
- `make pairing`
|
||||
- `make pairing-cap`
|
||||
- Red (expected):
|
||||
- `make pairing-negative`
|
||||
- `make pairing-cap-negative`
|
||||
|
||||
### Ingress gating (mentions + control-command bypass)
|
||||
|
||||
**Claim:** in group contexts requiring mention, an unauthorized “control command” cannot bypass mention gating.
|
||||
|
||||
- Green:
|
||||
- `make ingress-gating`
|
||||
- Red (expected):
|
||||
- `make ingress-gating-negative`
|
||||
|
||||
### Routing/session-key isolation
|
||||
|
||||
**Claim:** DMs from distinct peers do not collapse into the same session unless explicitly linked/configured.
|
||||
|
||||
- Green:
|
||||
- `make routing-isolation`
|
||||
- Red (expected):
|
||||
- `make routing-isolation-negative`
|
||||
|
||||
## Roadmap
|
||||
|
||||
Next models to deepen fidelity:
|
||||
- Pairing store concurrency/locking/idempotency
|
||||
- Provider-specific ingress preflight modeling
|
||||
- Routing identity-links + dmScope variants + binding precedence
|
||||
- Gateway auth conformance (proxy/tailscale specifics)
