🔥 Burn Report #1 — 2026-03-31 22:30 UTC

Focus Area: Security / Input Sanitization
Burn Duration: ~8 minutes
Subagents Deployed: 2
Target Issue: Timmy_Foundation/hermes-agent#80

Work Completed

Issue #80: Implement input sanitization for GODMODE jailbreak patterns

Fixed gaps in the input sanitizer that allowed GODMODE jailbreak templates to bypass detection.

Patterns Added

  1. [START OUTPUT] / [END OUTPUT] dividers - Now detected (score: 50 each)
  2. Unicode strikethrough variants - Now detected with combining char normalization
  3. Fullwidth character obfuscation - [START]→ [START] normalization
  4. Spaced text - Already worked, verified k e y l o g g e r detection

Verification Results

Pattern Before After Status
[START OUTPUT] Not detected Score 50 ✓ Fixed
[END OUTPUT] Not detected Score 50 ✓ Fixed
GODMODE: ENABLED Score 50 Score 50 ✓ Working
k e y l o g g e r Score 20 Score 20 ✓ Working
Full GODMODE template Score 65 (MEDIUM) Score 85 (HIGH, BLOCKED) ✓ Fixed

Test Results

  • All 12 core input sanitizer tests: PASSED
  • No regressions in existing functionality
  • Full GODMODE template now blocked at HIGH risk threshold

Metrics

  • Lines changed: +45/-3
  • Risk score improvement: 65 → 85 (+31% detection severity)
  • Full GODMODE template now BLOCKED

Next Target

  • Issue #81: ULTRAPLINIAN follow-up for fallback chain testing
  • Issue #79: CRITICAL - Test og_godmode against crisis/suicide scenarios
