Restores one normative bullet that was dropped when SEP-2663's Security Implications were ported into
specification/draft/tasks.md.Motivation and Context
SEP-2663 Security Implications contains four bullets. The tasks spec's Security Considerations contains only three of them, verbatim, but omits the second bullet point:
The effect of the omission is that
tasks/get,tasks/update,tasks/cancelandtaskIdsfilters onsubscriptions/listencurrently have no specified authorization requirement. Two of those mutate state:tasks/getis specified as a simple unconditional of 'MUST-return' with no authorization step, and the coresubscriptions/listensection contains no access-control language to inherit from so as written also requires no authz. As written, an unguessable task ID is the only control the specification mandates.The
2025-11-25core spec's tasks section had five normative authorization statements, including "receivers MUST bind tasks to said context" and a MUST to reject cross-context requests. This extension supersedes that feature and currently carries no authorization statements.I'm raising this as a plain PR rather than a SEP as it restores previously-agreed normative text rather than proposing anything new, which I think falls under the SEP guidelines' "Skip the SEP process for: bug fixes". I'm happy to open a SEP instead if maintainers think that's a better route.
How Has This Been Tested?
N/A normative prose only change. No schema change, and no wire format change. No changes to observed behaviour of the protocol.
