ASL-009 — Cross-Tenant RAG Leakage: Source Code
Read-only source for the reference application, attack harness, unit tests and raw results behind this lab. All data in it is synthetic, and it contains no credentials. The application binds to 127.0.0.1 and is not deployed — this page is for review, not a hosted service. The write-up, results and analysis are on the ASL-009 lab page.
This lab uses synthetic data and controlled environments. It is intended to demonstrate defensive AI-security principles and does not contain customer data, production credentials or intentionally weaponized exploit infrastructure.

Application
- app/server.pyThe RAG assistant API: mode, identity and which state surfaces are active are chosen per request; admin endpoints clear state and bump the policy version for harness sequencing.
- app/modes.pyThe lab's core: answer-cache short-circuit, memory-informed prompt, retrieval-cache-or-fresh-retrieval, all wired to independently-toggleable state_surfaces. Retrieval itself never varies by mode.
- app/auth.pyAuthentication ONLY — who is this caller.
- app/config.pyApplication configuration from the environment.
- app/static/index.htmlThe local lab UI: mode, identity, conversation ID, which state surfaces are active, and admin controls to clear state or bump the policy version.
- bootstrap.pyImport-path setup shared by every entry point.
Retrieval / Data
- entitlements.pyIdentity → tenant mapping. ALICE2 shares ALICE's tenant deliberately — the same-tenant-sharing control.
- state/state_object.pyThe state object model every cache/memory entry uses, and in_scope — the one function every hardened lookup calls before returning a cached/remembered object.
- state/scoped_cache.pyThe shared retrieval-cache/answer-cache implementation: vulnerable (query-only) vs hardened (tenant + policy_version + query) key builders, plus object-level defense-in-depth on every lookup.
- state/retrieval_cache.pyThe retrieval-cache singleton — CTR-01/02 exercise this specifically.
- state/answer_cache.pyThe answer-cache singleton — CTR-03 exercises this specifically.
- state/conversation_memory.pyMemory, scoped by (tenant, USER, conversation) in hardened mode — unlike the caches, scoped per-user, not just per-tenant.
- state/policy.pyThe policy_version counter — included in every hardened cache key; the vulnerable design ignores it entirely (CTR-06).
- state/normalize.pyQuery normalization shared by every key builder in both modes — CTR-02 exists because normalization alone is not the bug.
- retrieval/retriever.pyALWAYS tenant-scoped, in every mode — this lab's own precondition, not its subject.
- retrieval/vector_store.pyExact cosine vector store.
- retrieval/embedder.pyThe embedding interface.
- retrieval/chunker.pyDeterministic fixed-size chunker, identical configuration to ASL-005/006/007/008.
- retrieval/settings.pyRetrieval configuration.
- retrieval/corpus.pyLoads documents/catalog.json against the committed corpus.
- retrieval/build_index.pyBuilds the ONE shared index across both tenants.
- documents/catalog.jsonTest-fixture ground truth only — not a security control.
- documents/tenant-alpha/ALPHA-001.mdTenant Alpha's confidential project brief (Project Northstar, canary ALPHA-RAG-PRIVATE-ASL009-4811).
- documents/tenant-beta/BETA-001.mdTenant Beta's confidential project brief (Project Harborlight, canary BETA-RAG-PRIVATE-ASL009-5922).
Attack Harness
- attack-harness/test_cases.jsonThe nine test cases (CTR-01 to CTR-09), each an explicit, ordered sequence of steps — fixed before the first run.
- attack-harness/harness.pyRuns each case's step sequence against the live server, clearing state before every case so no case is contaminated by a previous one.
- attack-harness/measure.pyIndependent measurement of cross-tenant state reuse and foreign-marker disclosure — computed from each surface's own origin_tenant field, never from the server's self-report.
Tests
- tests/test_retrieval.pyThe lab's own precondition: cold retrieval is tenant-safe for both tenants, proven directly, before any cache/memory test is trusted.
- tests/test_cache.pyVulnerable query-only keys collide across tenants (including after normalization); hardened tenant-scoped keys do not; object-level defense-in-depth.
- tests/test_memory.pyVulnerable memory collides on a shared conversation ID across tenants AND users; hardened memory isolates by (tenant, user, conversation).
- tests/test_modes.pyFull-turn integration tests for all three state surfaces, plus the missing-tenant-metadata fail-closed case.
- tests/test_corpus.pyCatalog validation.
- tests/context.pyTest setup and a deterministic stand-in embedder (tests only).
Evidence
- evidence/summary.jsonCompact machine-readable summary of the published run.
- evidence/index-manifest.jsonEvery chunk in the shared index, with its tenant_id.
- evidence/raw-results.jsonEvery step of every test case, both modes: requests, cache/memory events, raw responses and every independently-measured field.
- evidence/state-traces.jsonEvery ask-step's cache/memory state, extracted for quick review.
Shared Components
- shared/llm_client.pyShared OpenAI-compatible chat client.
- shared/embedding_client.pyShared OpenAI-compatible embeddings client.
- shared/event_log.pyShared request logging.
- shared/run_metadata.pyReads the tested source revision from git when results are generated.
Configuration
- README.mdPurpose, scope, architecture, state surfaces, how to build the index, run the lab, harness and tests, and how to read the results.
- .env.exampleConfiguration template — contains no secrets.
Application
The reference application under test.
app/server.pyThe RAG assistant API: mode, identity and which state surfaces are active are chosen per request; admin endpoints clear state and bump the policy version for harness sequencing.
"""ASL-009 lab server — stdlib-only (no pip install required).
A small local RAG assistant with three optional, independently-toggleable
state surfaces (retrieval cache, answer cache, conversation memory) — see
app/modes.py. Local development use only: see README.md "Safety warning"
before considering anything beyond localhost.
Start order: python3 retrieval/build_index.py (once; needs the embedding model)
python3 app/server.py
Mode, identity and which state surfaces are engaged are chosen PER REQUEST
(X-Lab-Mode, X-Lab-User headers; `state_surfaces` in the body), so one
running server serves both modes and every test case — same convention as
ASL-005/006/007/008.

"""Vulnerable / Hardened turn handling for ASL-009 — Cross-Tenant RAG
Leakage.
Core lab thesis: a correctly authorized retrieval operation can still
become insecure if its results are later reused outside the authorization
scope under which they were created. Retrieval itself (retrieval/retriever.py)
is ALWAYS tenant-scoped, in every mode — this module never bypasses it.
What differs between modes is entirely what happens AROUND retrieval:
whether a retrieval-cache hit, an answer-cache hit, or a conversation-memory
entry from a DIFFERENT tenant (or, for memory, a different user) can be
served to this request.
`state_surfaces` (a subset of {"retrieval_cache", "answer_cache", "memory"})
controls which OPTIONAL state mechanisms this specific call engages — the
attack harness enables exactly one at a time per CTR case, so each of the
three surfaces is measured independently rather than interacting. Retrieval
itself always runs fresh unless "retrieval_cache" is engaged AND hits.

string) and how they get populated. Kept as one small shared class rather
than duplicated, per README "Do not overengineer".

asked, nothing else. Two different tenants asking the same normalized
question address the SAME cache entry.

by who may consume it, not just what was asked. A requester's own tenant_id

different key entirely; it is structurally impossible to land on it, not
merely policy-forbidden.

authorization_scope in hardened mode (state_object.py::in_scope) before

attack-harness/harness.pyRuns each case's step sequence against the live server, clearing state before every case so no case is contaminated by a previous one.
"""ASL-009 attack harness.
Unlike ASL-005..008, cache/memory behavior depends on SEQUENCE: each test
case is a small, explicit, deterministic sequence of steps (an "ask" or a
policy-version bump) run in order against the live server, with
`/api/admin/clear-state` called before every test case so no case can be
contaminated by a previous one's state (see README "Test order").
Usage:
python3 retrieval/build_index.py # build the index first

attack-harness/measure.pyIndependent measurement of cross-tenant state reuse and foreign-marker disclosure — computed from each surface's own origin_tenant field, never from the server's self-report.
"""Independent, deterministic measurement for ASL-009.
Everything here is computed from the server's own observable response — the
retrieval/cache/memory metadata it returned, and the actual response
text — never from the server's own claim that something was safe. A
server that reused foreign-tenant state while CLAIMING otherwise would
still be caught: `cross_tenant_state_reuse` is computed from each surface's
own `origin_tenant` field compared against the REQUESTER's tenant, read
from entitlements.py directly, not from anything the server said about
itself.
`foreign_marker_detected` is measured BEFORE-the-model separately from
AFTER-the-model: state reuse (cross_tenant_state_reuse) is a structural
fact about which surfaces returned foreign-tenant state, independent of
whether the model's response happens to repeat a marker — see README "Why
state reuse is measured independently of model output".

Tests
Unit and integration tests that need no model.
tests/test_retrieval.pyThe lab's own precondition: cold retrieval is tenant-safe for both tenants, proven directly, before any cache/memory test is trusted.
"""Proves the lab's own precondition BEFORE anything cache/memory-related is
tested: base retrieval is always tenant-scoped, in every case, cold-cache,
regardless of query. If this file fails, nothing else in this lab is
measuring what it claims to — see README "Do not let ASL-009 secretly rely
on ASL-005's bug".

# ASL-009 — Cross-Tenant RAG Leakage
Status: see `src/content/labs/asl-009-cross-tenant-rag-leakage.md` for the
public write-up and current status.
## Purpose
Tests whether information from one tenant can leak into another tenant's
AI session because the application reuses retrieval results, final
answers, or conversation memory across tenant boundaries — even though
retrieval itself is correctly authorized.
> A correctly authorized retrieval operation can still become insecure if
> its results are later reused outside the authorization scope under which
> they were created.
### Distinguishing this from ASL-005
ASL-005: a user's query retrieves unauthorized documents because
authorization was never applied to retrieval at all.
ASL-009: retrieval's own authorization is correct — proven directly, cold,
before any cache/memory test runs (see "Base retrieval must be secure"
below) — but data still crosses tenant boundaries through reused STATE:
a shared retrieval cache, a shared answer cache, or shared conversation
memory, each keyed without tenant scope.
### Distinguishing this from ASL-008
ASL-008: the vector-data API directly accepted unauthorized tenant/object
access — the failure was AT the data-access layer.
ASL-009: the lower-level vector API and tenant authorization can be
completely correct. The leak occurs ABOVE that layer, in application state
that outlives a single request and was never re-checked against the
CURRENT caller's identity before being reused.
## Base retrieval must be secure
This lab's own precondition, proven directly rather than assumed:
`retrieval/retriever.py` applies a tenant predicate on EVERY call, in EVERY
mode — there is no vulnerable retrieval variant in this lab at all.
`tests/test_retrieval.py` asserts, against the real corpus, that cold
(uncached) retrieval never returns a foreign tenant's chunks for either
tenant, before any cache/memory test is trusted to mean what it claims.
## Lab scenario
Fictional **Meridian Demo Corporation**, two tenants, one confidential
project document each:
- `TENANT-ALPHA` — Project Northstar, budget SAR 4.81M, marker
`ALPHA-RAG-PRIVATE-ASL009-4811`.
- `TENANT-BETA` — Project Harborlight, budget SAR 5.92M, marker
`BETA-RAG-PRIVATE-ASL009-5922`.
Three identities (`entitlements.py`): `ALICE` and `ALICE2` (both
`TENANT-ALPHA` — see "Optional same-tenant sharing"), `BOB`
(`TENANT-BETA`).
## Three state surfaces (`state/`)
1. **Retrieval cache** (`state/retrieval_cache.py`) — caches retrieved
chunk rows for a query, so a repeat request skips embedding + search.
2. **Answer cache** (`state/answer_cache.py`) — caches the final generated
answer, so a repeat request skips retrieval AND the model call.
3. **Conversation memory** (`state/conversation_memory.py`) — remembers
what a conversation previously discussed, injected into the next turn's
prompt.
Both caches share one generic implementation, `state/scoped_cache.py`:
- **VULNERABLE key**: `hash(normalized_query)` — content-addressed by what
was asked, nothing else. Two different tenants asking the same
normalized question address the SAME entry.
- **HARDENED key**: `hash(tenant_id | policy_version | normalized_query)`
— scoped by who may consume it. A requester's own tenant is always part
of the key, so a different tenant's entry is a structurally different
key, not merely a forbidden one.
Memory (`state/conversation_memory.py`) is scoped differently on purpose —
by **user**, not just tenant, because a conversation is personal in a way a
retrieval/answer cache is not:
- **VULNERABLE key**: `conversation_id` alone.
- **HARDENED key**: `(tenant_id, user_id, conversation_id)`.
Every cached/remembered object is a `StateObject`
(`state/state_object.py`): `state_id`, `state_type`, `created_by_user`,
`tenant_id`, `authorization_scope`, `created_at`, `policy_version`,
`source_query`, `source_documents`. Even in hardened mode, a lookup that
somehow finds an object under the "wrong" key still re-validates that
object's own `authorization_scope` before returning it
(`ScopedCache.get_scoped`) — defense-in-depth matching ASL-008's two-layer
design, so a bug in key construction alone would not be sufficient to leak
state.
## Vulnerable design
```
Query -> normalize -> cache[query] -> HIT? -> return/reuse state
-> MISS -> tenant-scoped retrieval -> LLM -> cache[query] = result
```
The cache lookup happens before tenant scope is considered at all.
## Hardened design
```
Identity -> tenant -> build_key(tenant, policy_version, query) -> scoped cache
-> HIT only if scope matches
-> MISS -> tenant-scoped retrieval -> LLM -> scoped cache write
```
For memory, the isolation boundary is `(identity, tenant, conversation)`,
not `conversation` alone.
## `state_surfaces`: measuring each surface independently
Each request may engage any subset of `{"retrieval_cache", "answer_cache",
"memory"}` — the attack harness engages exactly ONE per CTR case, so each
surface is measured on its own rather than one short-circuiting another
(an answer-cache hit would otherwise skip retrieval entirely, masking
whatever the retrieval cache would have done). Retrieval itself always
runs fresh unless `retrieval_cache` is engaged and hits.
## Policy version (`state/policy.py`)
A single server-side counter, bumped only via an admin control
(`/api/admin/bump-policy-version`), representing "something
authorization-sensitive changed" (an ACL update, a document revision).
Included in every HARDENED cache key; the vulnerable design ignores it
completely — see CTR-06.
## Requirements
- Python 3.9+ (stdlib only — no `pip install`).
- An OpenAI-compatible backend serving both a chat model and an embedding
model (tested with local Ollama: `ollama pull llama3.1:8b` and
`ollama pull nomic-embed-text`).
## Configuration
Copy `.env.example` to `.env` and edit. `LAB_PORT` is 8795 —
ASL-001..008 use 8787..8794.
## Build the index
```sh
cd labs/asl-009-cross-tenant-rag-leakage
python3 retrieval/build_index.py # embeds 4 chunks from 2 documents
python3 retrieval/build_index.py --check # verify the manifest matches the corpus/settings; no model needed
```
## Run the lab
```sh
python3 app/server.py # http://127.0.0.1:8795
```
Pick a mode, identity, conversation ID and which state surfaces are
active; "Clear all state" and "Bump policy version" are the same admin
controls the harness uses between test cases.
## Run the attack harness
With the index built and the server running:
```sh
python3 attack-harness/harness.py
```
Runs `attack-harness/test_cases.json` (CTR-01 to CTR-09, fixed before the
first run) against both modes. Because cache/memory behavior depends on
SEQUENCE, each case is an explicit, ordered list of steps (an ask, or a
policy-version bump); `/api/admin/clear-state` is called before EVERY
case, so no case can be contaminated by a previous one's state — see "Test
order". Writes `evidence/raw-results.json`, a timestamped
`evidence/run-<stamp>.json`, `evidence/summary.json` and
`evidence/state-traces.json`. **Commit before running** — the harness
records the git commit and dirty flag it ran against, read from git, never
entered by hand.
## Run the tests
```sh
python3 -m unittest discover -s tests -v
```
32 tests; none needs the LLM, the embedding model or a network (a
deterministic stand-in embedder in `tests/context.py` is used only where a
real search is needed). Covers: cold retrieval is tenant-safe for both
tenants (the lab's own precondition), vulnerable query-only cache keys
collide across tenants (including after normalization), hardened
tenant-scoped keys do not, the same for the answer cache, vulnerable
conversation memory collides on a shared conversation ID while hardened
memory additionally isolates by user within the same tenant, object-level
defense-in-depth even under a hypothetical wrong-key hit, and a
zero-authorized-tenant state object is rejected outright.
## Test rounds
All nine cases were written and fixed in `test_cases.json` before the
first run against the server. No case was changed after seeing a result.
## Important limitations
- Two tenants, one document each, nine fixed cases on one round: this
measures one architecture, not cross-tenant state leakage in general.
- `foreign_marker_detected` is exact substring matching of a planted
marker or project name in the FINAL response text; CTR-05 shows this can
legitimately read `False` even when `cross_tenant_state_reuse` is `True`
— the structural leak (a foreign-tenant memory entry was consumed) is
independent of whether the model's specific wording happened to surface
a disclosable value that run. Both are recorded, and this is exactly why
they are measured separately rather than collapsed into one number.
- Retrieval and answer caches are intentionally scoped by tenant only
(not by user) — correct, since they are meant to be shared within a
tenant (see CTR-09); this is not a limitation of the cache design, but
it does mean this lab does not test a scenario where two users of the
SAME tenant should not share cached retrieval/answers (not part of this
lab's threat model).
- `policy_version` is a single global counter for this lab's
demonstration; a production system would likely need per-document or
per-ACL versioning, which this lab does not model.
## Safety warning
- The server binds to `127.0.0.1` only. Do not expose it.
- Every tenant, project, figure and marker is synthetic and fictional.
- The application is never hosted; its source is published read-only for
review (see `labSourceCode` in `src/data/labs.ts`) — no file listed there
may ever contain a real credential.
## Cleanup
```sh
pkill -f "asl-009-cross-tenant-rag-leakage/app/[s]erver.py"
rm -rf index/ # derived; rebuilt by retrieval/build_index.py
rm -f evidence/request-log.jsonl # local request log
