Task 013: Security and AVlad Tag Validation

Overview

Implement comprehensive security measures and AVlad tag validation system for the OctoBrowser-Skyvern integration to ensure secure browser automation and compliance with security standards.

Objectives

• Implement AVlad tag-based security validation system
• Establish secure communication protocols between Skyvern and OctoBrowser
• Create security audit logging and monitoring
• Implement access control and authentication mechanisms

Technical Requirements

AVlad Tag Validation System

• Parse and validate AVlad security tags from automation scripts
• Implement tag-based access control and permissions
• Create secure execution environments based on tag requirements
• Validate and sanitize user inputs according to AVlad specifications

Secure Communication

• Encrypted communication channels between Skyvern and OctoBrowser
• API authentication and authorization mechanisms
• Secure token management and rotation
• TLS/SSL configuration for all network communications

Security Monitoring

• Real-time security event logging
• Anomaly detection for unusual automation patterns
• Audit trail generation for compliance
• Security incident response automation

Implementation Details

AVlad Tag Parser

class AVladTagValidator:
    def __init__(self):
        self.security_levels = ["low", "medium", "high", "critical"]
        self.allowed_actions = []
        self.restricted_domains = []
    
    def parse_tags(self, script_content: str) -> Dict[str, Any]:
        # Parse AVlad security tags from automation scripts
        # @avlad:security=high
        # @avlad:domains=trusted
        # @avlad:actions=restricted
        pass
    
    def validate_execution(self, tags: Dict[str, Any], context: ExecutionContext) -> bool:
        # Validate if execution is allowed based on tags
        # Check domain restrictions
        # Verify action permissions
        pass

Security Framework

• Input sanitization and validation
• XSS and injection attack prevention
• Secure credential storage and management
• Rate limiting and abuse prevention

Audit and Compliance

• Comprehensive audit logging
• Compliance reporting generation
• Security metrics collection
• Incident documentation and response

Dependencies

• Task 003: OctoBrowser API Integration (for secure API communication)
• Task 009: Configuration Management (for security configuration)

Security Considerations

• All communications must use encrypted channels
• Credentials stored using industry-standard encryption
• Regular security audits and penetration testing
• Compliance with data protection regulations

Testing Strategy

• Security penetration testing
• AVlad tag validation testing
• Authentication and authorization testing
• Encrypted communication verification
• Compliance audit simulation

Success Criteria

• AVlad tag system fully operational
• All communications encrypted and secure
• Security audit logging comprehensive
• Access control properly implemented
• Compliance requirements met
• Security documentation complete

Files to Modify/Create

• skyvern/webeye/security/avlad_validator.py
• skyvern/webeye/security/auth_manager.py
• skyvern/webeye/security/encryption.py
• skyvern/webeye/security/audit_logger.py
• skyvern/webeye/security/compliance.py
• skyvern/webeye/security/__init__.py

Compliance Requirements

• GDPR compliance for data handling
• SOC 2 Type II controls implementation
• Industry-standard encryption protocols
• Secure development lifecycle adherence

Notes

• Security implementation must be reviewed by security team
• AVlad tag system should be extensible for future requirements
• All security measures must not significantly impact automation performance
• Regular security updates and patch management required
