Consolidate 22 sibling repos into layered organism structure
Place useful parts of the surrounding repos into sica-fondt by layer, per the
body model (Ada = membrane; brain/endocrine/capabilities/knowledge non-Ada):

- brain/        LLM reasoning + providers (dapr, hermes, MoMoA)
- capabilities/ REPRAG sidecars: hermes tools/skills, dapr tools, parallel
                dispatch, A51 channels, and the OSINT cluster
- knowledge/    LORAG corpus: 754 cyber-skills, agency personas, secure-coding,
                MITRE ATT&CK data
- reference/    defensive threat-reference (C3, shhbruh doc) + AdaYaml parser

License handling: AGPL sources (worldosint, advanced_evolution, mercury,
Reticulum) and GPL DeTTECT are SPEC-only clean-room/port descriptions — no
copyleft code copied. MIT/Apache/data parts copied as working trees.

Safety: shhbruh escape/persistence material and C3 covert-C2 kept as reference
only, not wired into the running organism. See CONSOLIDATION.md.

# API Reference: Excessive Data Exposure (OWASP API3)
## OWASP API3:2023 — Broken Object Property Level Authorization
### Description
API returns more data than the client needs. Sensitive fields like passwords,
tokens, internal IDs, or PII are included in responses without filtering.
## Sensitive Field Categories
| Category | Examples |
|----------|----------|
| Credentials | password, secret, token, api_key |
| PII | ssn, date_of_birth, credit_card |
| Internal | internal_id, debug_info, stack_trace |
| Financial | salary, bank_account, routing_number |
## PII Detection Regex Patterns
| Type | Pattern |
|------|---------|
| Email | `[a-zA-Z0-9._%+-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,}` |
| SSN | `\d{3}-\d{2}-\d{4}` |
| Credit Card | `\d{4}[-\s]?\d{4}[-\s]?\d{4}[-\s]?\d{4}` |
| Phone | `\+?1?\d{10,15}` |
| IP Address | `\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}` |
## Testing Methodology
### Step 1: Compare Response to Documentation
```bash
# Get actual response
curl -s https://api.target.com/users/me | jq 'keys'
# Compare with OpenAPI spec expected fields
```
### Step 2: Check for Sensitive Fields
```python
sensitive = ["password", "token", "ssn", "secret"]
for field in response_json:
if any(s in field.lower() for s in sensitive):
print(f"EXPOSED: {field}")
```
### Step 3: Test Different Roles
```bash
# As regular user, check if admin fields returned
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $USER_TOKEN" \
https://api.target.com/users/123 | jq '.role, .permissions'
```
## Python requests
### Fetch and Analyze
```python
resp = requests.get(url, headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {token}"})
data = resp.json()
```
## Remediation Approaches
| Approach | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| Response filtering | Only return fields client needs |
| GraphQL field selection | Let client specify fields |
| View models / DTOs | Map internal model to public API |
| Role-based serialization | Different fields per role |
## Tools
### Postman Collection Runner
Automate response schema validation across endpoints.
### OWASP ZAP — Passive Scanner
Detects sensitive data in responses automatically.
### Swagger/OpenAPI Diff
```bash
openapi-diff expected-spec.yaml actual-responses.yaml
```
