Why

Ref CON-977

A probe keeps only a short excerpt of what the shell returned, so after the run there is nothing left to look at. This stores the parsed shape of each probe so later work can read it back.

What

  • The shell probe collects four more sections from each service it reaches: accelerator state, large files, established sockets and process origins.
  • A new table holds one row per probed service: the parsed shape of those sections, the verdict, and the detection id when there is one.
  • The sweep that already runs deletes rows past the retention window.
  • The new sections are stripped from the output before the scanner sees it, so verdicts do not change.
  • Tests: unit specs for the parser, the evidence service, the controller and the handler, plus integration coverage of the rows the job writes.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added structured workload probe evidence capture, including accelerator, disk, process, and network details.
    • Probe results now retain service, provider, status, verdict, and optional detection information.
    • Added configurable evidence retention with a 90-day default.
    • Added reliable handling for malformed, incomplete, or unavailable probe data.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Evidence cleanup now runs after completed non-dry-run sweeps, including when sweep failures occur.
    • Improved parsing for IPv4/IPv6 addresses, duplicate connections, timestamps, and accelerator-to-process associations.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds structured workload probe evidence collection, parsing, database storage, retention cleanup, and probe-handler integration. Shell output now separates workload data from evidence data, with tests covering parsing, persistence, cleanup, and failure handling.

Changes

Workload Probe Evidence

Layer / File(s) Summary
Probe collection and report flow
apps/api/src/workload-abuse/services/provider-shell-probe/*, apps/api/src/workload-abuse/services/trial-workload-probe/*
Shell probes split workload output from evidence with a generated boundary. Probe reports expose service, provider, status, and evidence fields while retaining workload output for scanning.
Evidence schema and storage
apps/api/drizzle/0058_workload_probe_evidence.sql, apps/api/drizzle/meta/*, apps/api/src/workload-abuse/model-schemas/*, apps/api/src/workload-abuse/repositories/workload-probe-evidence/*
Adds the evidence table, typed structures, indexes, migration metadata, and repository operations for insertion, retrieval, counting, and deletion.
Evidence parsing
apps/api/src/workload-abuse/lib/probe-evidence/*
Parses accelerator, artifact, process-origin, and network evidence. It associates GPU processes by identifier and aggregates state-bearing network connections.
Evidence persistence and retention
apps/api/src/workload-abuse/config/env.config.ts, apps/api/src/workload-abuse/services/probe-evidence/*, apps/api/src/workload-abuse/services/workload-abuse-instrumentation/*
ProbeEvidenceService stores parsed shell evidence and purges records using configurable retention. Insert and purge failures use separate instrumentation operations.
Probe orchestration and cleanup sweeps
apps/api/src/workload-abuse/services/probe-trial-deployment/*, apps/api/src/workload-abuse/controllers/workload-abuse.controller*
The trial deployment handler records evidence after probes. Non-dry-run sweeps purge expired evidence after reconciliation settles, including when sweep failures occur. Tests cover recording, detection IDs, no-live-lease cases, logging, and cleanup.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Change: Feature

Suggested reviewers: iamdevalpatel

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 72cda

A workload can hide later scanner-detectable output by forging the probe delimiter, undermining abuse detection. Failed or empty probe sessions also leave no durable evidence row. These issues should be resolved before merge.

Beyond the two inline findings, I checked two related concerns and ruled them out: parseAccelerator attaches the same combined process list to every accelerator row when a host has multiple GPUs, but that mirrors the underlying nvidia-smi output (which doesn't associate processes to a specific GPU) rather than a parsing bug; and the new --accel/--netl/--disk/--procorig sections run after the larger --files/--recent-exec/--recent-conf sections in SHELL_PROBE_COLLECTORS, but each collector already bounds its own output with head, so ordering doesn't risk the new sections being truncated out of the probe's maxBytes budget.

Extended reasoning...

Two confirmed findings are already queued as inline comments: a scanner-evasion bug where a crafted /tmp filename equal to --accel causes withoutEvidenceSections to truncate the scanner's view of the shell output early (parse-probe-evidence.ts:40), and a dry-run violation where probeTrialDeployments unconditionally calls probeEvidenceService.purgeExpired() even when dryRun: true, permanently deleting evidence rows despite the documented no-side-effect guarantee (workload-abuse.controller.ts:24). Both are substantive, security/correctness-relevant bugs in new anti-abuse infrastructure, so approval is not appropriate here regardless of how clean the rest of the diff is. I independently read parse-probe-evidence.ts, provider-shell-probe.service.ts, probe-evidence.service.ts, and workload-abuse.controller.ts and confirmed both findings hold against the current code. Beyond those, I looked at two adjacent candidate issues from the ruled-out list — cross-GPU process attribution in parseAccelerator and collector-ordering/truncation risk in SHELL_PROBE_COLLECTORS — and confirmed both are non-issues for the reasons stated in the body, so I'm surfacing that as the narrow additional-scrutiny note rather than restating the inline findings.

…orkload probes

The probe collects four more sections from each service it reaches: accelerator
state, large files, established sockets and process origins. It parses them and
writes one row per service into a new table, with the verdict and the detection
id when there is one. The sweep that already runs deletes rows past the
retention window.

The new sections never reach the scanner, so verdicts do not change.

…run boundary

The probe closes the collected sections with a line the workload cannot predict,
and the shell probe splits the stream there. The scanner reads only what came
before that line and the evidence parser only what came after, so neither side
can be steered by what a container prints.

Evidence rows now carry the status of the shell session that produced them
instead of the deployment level status, so a collection that was cut short is
visible rather than reading as an empty one.

The retention purge no longer waits on a healthy sweep and no longer runs on a
dry run, accelerator processes land on the card they ran on, and the evidence
failure counter says which statement failed.

Do not rely on an argv-visible boundary for trusted framing.

The workload can read the probe shell command from /proc and learn the boundary before collection finishes. It can then place the exact marker on a new line in a multiline field such as /proc/*/cmdline. splitAtEvidenceBoundary will treat the forged line as the boundary, exclude later workload output from scanning, and parse that output as evidence.

Use separate shell requests for workload output and evidence, or use framing that the workload cannot observe or reproduce.

Separate evidence collection from workload collection. buildShellProbeScript places both collectors in one sh -c command. ProviderShellProbeService.run sends that command through one ProviderStreamService.collect call, so all output shares one hard timeout and maxBytes budget. If reachable workload state makes collection slow or verbose, the stream can close before the boundary. splitAtEvidenceBoundary then returns evidence: "", which loses evidence for the abuse probe. Use a separate bounded request for the evidence collectors.

Partly addressed in 72cdafe: the cut now takes the last occurrence of the boundary rather than the first, so a forged line can only widen what the scanner reads, never hide part of it. What that leaves is a forged boundary after the real one, which costs the workload the record of its own evidence rather than the scan.

Closing it completely means framing the workload cannot observe at all, which in practice is a second shell session per service and so doubles the exec requests the probe makes against providers. That is a load tradeoff rather than a code one, so I am leaving this thread open until it is decided rather than taking it quietly.

@baktun14, agreed. Using the last boundary removes the scanner-bypass path from a forged boundary before the real boundary.

A forged boundary after the real boundary can still suppress recorded evidence. It cannot hide the collected workload output from the scanner. The remaining risk is therefore evidence loss, not verdict evasion through scanner truncation.

Keeping this thread open is appropriate until the provider-request load tradeoff is decided.

You are interacting with an AI system.

The collector reports live sockets and half open ones, and the parser was
storing both under a name that claimed they were live. Each connection now
carries the state the kernel reported, so a connection attempt in progress
reads as one.

The split between collected output and evidence takes the last boundary rather
than the first, so a repeat of it can only widen what the scanner reads.

Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.

Beyond the inline findings, I also re-checked whether the new last-match evidence boundary (splitAtEvidenceBoundary in provider-shell-probe.service.ts:87-95) could still be defeated by a workload forging a duplicate --evidence <boundary> line that lands after the real one (e.g. via a crafted large-file name picked up by the --disk find) — the EVIDENCE_COLLECTORS commands that run after the boundary marker don't echo attacker-controlled file bodies as raw lines, so I didn't find a way to reproduce the exact boundary text later in the stream, and ruled that out.

Extended reasoning...

This run's harness reported one CONFIRMED bug (parseAccelerator's isNumeric check silently dropping GPU/process evidence when nvidia-smi reports [N/A]/[Not Supported] placeholders), which will be posted as an inline comment. Given a prior review already exists on this PR with several points raised and since resolved by commits (the argv-visible-boundary evidence-hiding issue was addressed by the d3670fb commit switching to lastIndexOf), the only new thing worth surfacing beyond the inline finding is the additional angle this run checked and ruled out: whether the fixed last-match boundary logic could still be defeated by injecting a forged boundary marker after the real one (rather than before, which was the original attack). I traced the EVIDENCE_COLLECTORS array (accel/netl/disk/procorig) and confirmed none of the commands running after the boundary echo print raw attacker-controlled file names as full lines that could be crafted to exactly match --evidence <boundary>, so this specific bypass does not appear feasible. I'm posting this as a brief ruled-out note per the review protocol rather than a full review, since the CONFIRMED finding already flags this PR for human attention and I have nothing else new to add beyond what's already in the thread.

Still open from earlier reviews (1):

nvidia-smi answers some fields with a placeholder rather than a number on
passthrough and virtualized cards. The parser was dropping the whole card on
one of those, and with it every process attributed to that card, which is
exactly the evidence the row exists for.

recordEvidence reports the rows it wrote, and the probe logs what was stored
rather than what it tried to store, so a run that reached no service or failed
its write no longer leaves a line claiming evidence exists.
