Goal-5: Security Implementation Execution Plan

Implementation Phases

1. Role Inheritance System

• Task 5.1: Extend RBAC Engine in security/rbac_engine.py
  • Implement role hierarchy/inheritance
  • Add permission propagation logic
  • Update test cases in tests/security/test_rbac_engine.py
• Task 5.2: Integrate with Role Manager
  • Modify orchestrator/core/dispatcher.py to use enhanced RBAC
  • Update CLI/web interfaces for role management
• Validation:
  • Security review of implementation
  • Negative test cases in tests/security/test_rbac_negative.py

2. Secrets Management Service

• Task 5.3: Design secrets storage
  • Create security/secrets.py module
  • Implement AES-256 encryption using existing security/encrypt.py
  • Add key rotation mechanism
• Task 5.4: Implement API
  • Create REST endpoints in web_interface.py
  • Add CLI commands in cli_commands.py
• Validation:
  • Penetration testing of secrets API
  • Audit logging integration

3. Automated Vulnerability Scanning

• Task 5.5: Implement scanner core
  • Create security/scanner.py module
  • Integrate with MCP Manager for external tools
  • Add scheduling capability
• Task 5.6: Create reporting
  • Generate vulnerability reports
  • Implement severity classification
  • Add integration with audit logs
• Validation:
  • Test with known vulnerabilities
  • Verify false positive rate

Dependencies

• Goal-1 (Orchestrator Core) must be 75% complete
• Goal-4 (Storage Layer) must be 100% complete

Timeline

• Week 1: Role inheritance implementation
• Week 2: Secrets management service
• Week 3: Vulnerability scanning
• Week 4: Integration and testing

Security Controls

1. All changes must pass security review
2. Audit logs must capture all security-sensitive operations
3. Automated tests must cover all security-critical paths
4. Documentation must be updated in symphony-ai-agent/security/

Implementation Status

1. Role inheritance system: Implemented (see tests/security/test_rbac_engine.py)
2. Secrets management service: Not started
3. Automated vulnerability scanning: Not started
