## 1. Security Testing Philosophy
### 1.1 Core Principles
Security testing for the XRPL Agent Wallet MCP server follows the **"Assume Breach"** philosophy combined with **defense-in-depth** validation:
| Principle | Description |
|-----------|-------------|
| **Attacker Mindset** | Tests are written from the perspective of a malicious actor attempting to compromise the system |
| **Fail-Secure Validation** | Every test verifies the system fails closed (denies access) rather than fails open |
| **Depth Coverage** | Security controls are tested at multiple layers, not just the perimeter |
| **Continuous Validation** | Security tests run on every commit, not just before releases |
| **Regression Prevention** | Every fixed vulnerability gets a corresponding regression test |
| **Real-World Payloads** | Tests use actual attack payloads observed in the wild, not just theoretical vectors |

## 2. Test Categories
### 2.1 Prompt Injection Defense
#### 2.1.1 Overview
Prompt injection is the **highest-priority threat** (T-001, CRITICAL) for AI agent-controlled wallets. These tests validate that the system correctly identifies and rejects malicious inputs designed to manipulate the LLM into authorizing unauthorized transactions.
**Requirements Verified:** VAL-004, VAL-006

## 6. Penetration Testing Guidance
### 6.1 Scope and Rules of Engagement
```markdown
## Penetration Testing Scope
### In-Scope Targets
- MCP tool interface (all exposed tools)
- Authentication and session management
- Policy engine bypass attempts
- Input validation boundaries
- Rate limiting effectiveness
- Keystore file access controls
- Audit log integrity
### Out-of-Scope
- XRPL network infrastructure
- Third-party dependencies (separate testing)
- Physical security
- Social engineering of human operators
- Denial of service against production systems
### Rules of Engagement
1. Testing must be performed in isolated test environment
2. No actual XRPL mainnet wallets or funds
3. All discovered vulnerabilities must be reported immediately
4. Do not exfiltrate or retain any discovered key material
5. Document all testing activities with timestamps
6. Coordinate with security team before attempting destructive tests
```
### 6.2 Test Scenarios
```markdown
## Penetration Test Scenarios
### Scenario 1: Prompt Injection Escalation
**Objective:** Bypass policy limits via prompt injection
**Steps:**
1. Identify all MCP tool input fields that accept string data
2. Test each field with prompt injection payload library
3. Attempt multi-field injection (split payloads)
4. Test encoded payloads (base64, URL, hex)
5. Attempt context manipulation to reveal system prompts
**Expected Result:** All injection attempts rejected with appropriate logging
### Scenario 2: Authentication Bypass
**Objective:** Gain access without valid credentials
**Steps:**
1. Test for default credentials
2. Attempt session token prediction
3. Test for timing attacks on authentication
4. Attempt rate limit bypass (distributed, slowloris)
5. Test session fixation/hijacking
**Expected Result:** All bypass attempts fail; lockouts trigger correctly
### Scenario 3: Policy Engine Bypass
**Objective:** Execute transactions exceeding policy limits
**Steps:**
1. Test tier boundary manipulation
2. Attempt transaction splitting
3. Test allowlist bypass (Unicode, encoding)
4. Attempt daily limit reset manipulation
5. Test for race conditions in limit checking
**Expected Result:** All policy limits enforced regardless of manipulation
### Scenario 4: Key Extraction
**Objective:** Extract private keys from running system
**Steps:**
1. Analyze memory during signing operations
2. Attempt to trigger core dumps
3. Search for keys in logs
4. Test for key exposure in error messages
5. Attempt file system access to keystore
**Expected Result:** No key material extractable
### Scenario 5: Audit Log Tampering
**Objective:** Modify or delete audit records
**Steps:**
1. Attempt direct file modification
2. Test for injection in logged data
3. Attempt to break hash chain
4. Test sequence number manipulation
5. Attempt timestamp manipulation
**Expected Result:** All tampering detected; alerts generated
```
