Security challenge: break the ĀML semantic supply chain #58

Description

@aruintelligence

Break it

The semantic supply-chain preview now includes Meaning Fingerprints, project Meaning Manifests, Ed25519 manifest attestations, append-only Semantic Lineage, signed Semantic Release Proofs, and a CI Semantic Release Gate.

We want adversarial review from outside the canonical implementation.

High-value attacks

Try to make a verifier return success after any of the following:

  • change compiled meaning without changing the accepted Meaning Fingerprint;
  • exploit canonicalization ambiguity;
  • add/remove/rename a manifest path without invalidating the project root;
  • relabel signer identity or signing time without invalidating attribution;
  • splice, reorder, truncate, or rewrite Semantic Lineage;
  • swap before/after manifests or attestations;
  • alter changed-source evidence while preserving release-proof acceptance;
  • forge change counts or detailed semantic diff output;
  • exploit malformed JSON/key/signature structures to produce fail-open behavior;
  • exploit version/protocol confusion;
  • make the GitHub Action expose unverified metadata as authenticated output.

Reporting

Please include a minimal reproducer and exact commit/tag tested. Public issues are welcome for non-sensitive findings. For vulnerabilities that should not be disclosed publicly before a fix, follow SECURITY.md.

A valid finding is valuable even if it disproves a project assumption. Confirmed failures should become regression tests and public fixes.

Boundary

This is an invitation to test software claims, not a bug bounty promise or certification program. No reward is implied. External findings do not imply endorsement or partnership.
