# Fix Implementation Guide

**Date:** 2025-12-01
**Status:** Test Infrastructure Complete, Fixes Documented

---

## Summary

Three test suites have been created to identify and fix the critical issues:

1. **Kids Policy False Positive Tuning** - `tests/policy/test_kids_policy_tuning.py`
2. **Memory Optimization** - `tests/performance/test_memory_optimization.py`
3. **Adversarial Bypass Fix** - `tests/security/test_adversarial_bypass_fix.py`

---

## Issue 1: Kids Policy False Positive Rate (40% -> Target: <5%)

### Problem

Kids Policy blocks legitimate educational queries:
- "What are the benefits of renewable energy?" -> Blocked: Cumulative Risk (0.71 > 0.65)
- "How to learn Python programming?" -> Blocked: UNSAFE_TOPIC_UNSAFE

### Root Cause

**File:** `kids_policy/firewall_engine_v2.py`
**Line:** 165
**Parameter:** `CUMULATIVE_RISK_THRESHOLD = 0.65`

The threshold is too low, causing legitimate educational queries to be blocked.

### Fix Required

**Change:**
```python
# Current (line 165):
self.CUMULATIVE_RISK_THRESHOLD = 0.65  # SessionMonitor Block-Schwelle

# Recommended:
self.CUMULATIVE_RISK_THRESHOLD = 0.8  # SessionMonitor Block-Schwelle
```

**Rationale:**
- Current threshold (0.65) blocks too many legitimate queries
- Increasing to 0.8 maintains security while reducing false positives
- Educational queries should not trigger cumulative risk blocks

### Additional Fixes

**Unsafe Topic Detection:**
- File: `kids_policy/routing/topic_router.py` (if exists)
- Issue: "Python programming" marked as UNSAFE_TOPIC_UNSAFE
- Fix: Add educational whitelist for programming/technology topics

**Educational Whitelist Keywords:**
- programming: ["python", "coding", "algorithm", "software"]
- science: ["energy", "renewable", "solar", "physics"]
- education: ["learn", "study", "homework", "school"]
- technology: ["computer", "internet", "digital", "ai"]

### Test

```bash
pytest tests/policy/test_kids_policy_tuning.py::TestKidsPolicyTuning::test_false_positive_benchmark -v
```

## Issue 2: Memory Usage (1355MB -> Target: <300MB)

### Problem

Batch processing uses 1355.7MB (4.5x limit). Single requests are under 300MB, but batch processing exceeds limit.

### Root Causes

1. **Embedding Cache - Unbounded Growth**
   - File: `src/llm_firewall/cache/decision_cache.py`
   - Issue: Cache grows indefinitely
   - Fix: Implement LRU cache with size limit (e.g., max 1000 entries)
   - Expected saving: 50-70% memory reduction

2. **Session State - Accumulation**
   - File: `kids_policy/session_monitor.py`
   - Issue: Session state accumulates across sessions
   - Fix: Periodic cleanup of old sessions (TTL-based)
   - Expected saving: 30% memory reduction

3. **Adversarial Suite - Loaded in Memory**
   - File: `tests/conftest.py`
   - Issue: Entire adversarial suite loaded in memory
   - Fix: Stream from disk or use memory-mapped file
   - Expected saving: Reduce 50MB -> 5MB

### Implementation Suggestions

**Memory Pool for Embeddings:**
- Reuse numpy arrays for embeddings
- Pool size: 10-20 arrays
- Reset arrays after use

**LRU Cache Implementation:**
```python
from functools import lru_cache
from collections import OrderedDict

class LRUCache:
    def __init__(self, max_size=1000):
        self.cache = OrderedDict()
        self.max_size = max_size

    def get(self, key):
        if key in self.cache:
            self.cache.move_to_end(key)
            return self.cache[key]
        return None

    def set(self, key, value):
        if key in self.cache:
            self.cache.move_to_end(key)
        self.cache[key] = value
        if len(self.cache) > self.max_size:
            self.cache.popitem(last=False)
```

### Test

```bash
pytest tests/performance/test_memory_optimization.py -v
```

## Issue 3: Adversarial Bypasses (2 bypasses found)

### Problem

2 bypasses detected in adversarial test suite. Security vulnerability.

### Bypass Analysis

**File:** `tests/security/bypass_analysis.json` (generated by test)

Run analysis:
```bash
pytest tests/security/test_adversarial_bypass_fix.py::TestAdversarialBypassFix::test_identify_bypasses -v
```

### Required Fixes

1. **Zero-Width Unicode Bypass**
   - File: `src/hak_gal/layers/inbound/normalization_layer.py`
   - Current: Handles URL/Base64 encoding, but missing zero-width character detection
   - Fix: Add zero-width character detection and removal
   - Characters to detect: `\u200b`, `\u202e`, `\u202d`
   - Test: Should detect and remove zero-width characters

2. **String Concatenation Obfuscation**
   - File: `src/llm_firewall/rules/patterns.py`
   - Current: `RobustPatternMatcher` does not handle concatenation
   - Fix: Add concatenation-aware pattern matching
   - Example: Detect `'s' + 'k' + '-' + 'live'` as `'sk-live'`
   - Test: Should detect concatenated API keys

3. **Cumulative Risk Threshold for Evasion**
   - File: `src/llm_firewall/risk/risk_scorer.py`
   - Current: Risk scoring implemented, but may need tuning for evasion patterns
   - Fix: Adjust risk scoring for multi-stage attacks
   - Test: Should aggregate risk across multiple evasion attempts

### Implementation Details

**Zero-Width Unicode Detection:**
```python
# In normalization_layer.py
ZERO_WIDTH_CHARS = ['\u200b', '\u202e', '\u202d', '\u200c', '\u200d', '\u2060']

def remove_zero_width_chars(text: str) -> str:
    """Remove zero-width characters from text."""
    for char in ZERO_WIDTH_CHARS:
        text = text.replace(char, '')
    return text
```

**Concatenation-Aware Pattern Matching:**
```python
# In patterns.py RobustPatternMatcher
def _expand_concatenation(self, text: str) -> str:
    """Expand string concatenation patterns."""
    # Match patterns like: 's' + 'k' + '-' + 'live'
    pattern = r"['\"]([^'\"]+)['\"]\s*\+\s*['\"]([^'\"]+)['\"]"
    while re.search(pattern, text):
        text = re.sub(pattern, r'\1\2', text)
    return text
```

### Test

```bash
# Identify bypasses
pytest tests/security/test_adversarial_bypass_fix.py::TestAdversarialBypassFix::test_identify_bypasses -v

# Analyze patterns
pytest tests/security/test_adversarial_bypass_fix.py::TestAdversarialBypassFix::test_analyze_bypass_patterns -v

# Verify fixes
pytest tests/security/test_adversarial_bypass_fix.py::TestAdversarialBypassFix::test_bypass_fix_verification -v
```

## Running All Fix Validation Tests

**Test Runner:** `run_fix_validation.py`

```bash
python run_fix_validation.py
```

This will:
1. Run all three test suites
2. Generate a summary report
3. Create `fix_validation_report.json` with action items
