From af23befef88362a6a40a0913acd013142aeb135a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: janiussyafiq Date: Thu, 18 Jun 2026 17:06:44 +0800 Subject: [PATCH 1/7] feat: add ai-lakera-guard plugin Add the ai-lakera-guard plugin (PR-1, input guard MVP) integrating APISIX with the Lakera Guard v2 /guard API to scan LLM request prompts for prompt injection, PII, content-policy violations, and malicious/unknown links at the gateway. The plugin runs in the access phase at priority 1028, below ai-proxy / ai-proxy-multi, which it requires. It extracts the whole request conversation via apisix.plugins.ai-protocols and calls Lakera POST /v2/guard. On a flagged verdict it either blocks with a provider-compatible deny response (a valid chat-completion or SSE carrying request_failure_message, returned with deny_code, default 200) or alerts (log-only shadow mode). Lakera errors and timeouts are governed by fail_open (fail-closed by default). The api_key is secret-managed via encrypt_fields and the native $secret:// / $env:// resolution.

Response and streaming scanning are added in later releases. + +::: + +## Attributes + +| Name | Type | Required | Default | Valid values | Description | +|------|------|----------|---------|--------------|-------------| +| api_key | string | True | | | Lakera Guard API key, sent as `Authorization: Bearer`. The value is encrypted with AES before being stored in etcd, and supports [secret references](../terminology/secret.md) (`$secret://`) and environment variables (`$env://`). | +| lakera_endpoint | string | False | `https://api.lakera.ai/v2/guard` | | Lakera Guard v2 endpoint. Override for regional or self-hosted instances. | +| project_id | string | False | | | Lakera project whose policy (detectors and thresholds) to apply. If unset, the account default policy is used. | +| direction | string | False | `input` | `input` | Which traffic to scan. Only `input` (request) is supported in this release. | +| action | string | False | `block` | `block`, `alert` | `block` enforces the verdict; `alert` is a log-only shadow mode that always passes traffic through. | +| fail_open | boolean | False | `false` | | Behavior when Lakera cannot be reached (timeout, connection error, non-2xx, decode failure). `false` (fail-closed) blocks the request; `true` (fail-open) allows it. A successful `flagged: false` always passes. | +| timeout | integer | False | `5000` | >= 1 | Lakera request timeout in milliseconds. | +| ssl_verify | boolean | False | `true` | | If `true`, verify the TLS certificate of the Lakera endpoint. | +| reveal_failure_categories | boolean | False | `false` | | If `true`, append the matched Lakera `detector_type`s (with their confidence result) to the deny message returned to the client. The full per-detector `breakdown` is always requested from Lakera and written to the gateway logs regardless of this setting; this flag only controls client-facing exposure. | +| deny_code | integer | False | `200` | 200 - 599 | HTTP status code returned when a request is blocked. Defaults to `200` so the body — a provider-compatible chat completion (or SSE) carrying `request_failure_message` — parses as a normal refusal in client SDKs (matching how Lakera Guard itself returns `200` with a verdict). Set a 4xx (e.g. `403`) if you prefer blocks to surface as HTTP errors. | +| request_failure_message | string | False | `Request blocked by Lakera Guard` | | Refusal text returned (as the assistant message of a provider-compatible response) when a request is blocked. | + +## Examples + +The examples below use OpenAI as the Upstream LLM provider. Before proceeding, create an [OpenAI account](https://openai.com) and obtain an [API key](https://openai.com/blog/openai-api).

feat(ai-lakera-guard): add fail_mode for unsupported requests Handle requests this plugin cannot inspect (no picked ai instance, or an unsupported protocol) via the shared ai-protocols.binding helper and a configurable fail_mode (skip/warn/error, default skip) instead of a hard 500, matching ai-aliyun-content-moderation. This lets non-AI traffic pass through unchecked when the plugin is bound at the Consumer/Service level. fail_mode is distinct from fail_open, which governs Lakera API failures. Also collapse the test routes onto a single route id (overwrite-in-place, grouping default-config tests first) to match the convention used by the sibling AI plugins. - schema: add fail_mode = binding.schema_property("skip") - access: route no-instance / unsupported-protocol through on_unsupported - docs: document fail_mode; clarify non-ai-proxy traffic behavior - t: fail_mode=error (500) and default skip (pass-through) coverage --- apisix/plugins/ai-lakera-guard.lua | 21 ++- apisix/plugins/ai-lakera-guard/schema.lua | 2 + docs/en/latest/plugins/ai-lakera-guard.md | 3 + t/plugin/ai-lakera-guard.t | 194 +++++++++++++--------- 4 files changed, 143 insertions(+), 77 deletions(-) diff --git a/apisix/plugins/ai-lakera-guard.lua b/apisix/plugins/ai-lakera-guard.lua index b38106587b47..a2cb4f86ce8e 100644 --- a/apisix/plugins/ai-lakera-guard.lua +++ b/apisix/plugins/ai-lakera-guard.lua @@ -18,6 +18,7 @@ local core = require("apisix.core") local schema_mod = require("apisix.plugins.ai-lakera-guard.schema") local client = require("apisix.plugins.ai-lakera-guard.client") local protocols = require("apisix.plugins.ai-protocols") +local binding = require("apisix.plugins.ai-protocols.binding") local ipairs = ipairs local type = type @@ -116,8 +117,15 @@ end function _M.access(conf, ctx) if not ctx.picked_ai_instance then - return 500, "no ai instance picked, ai-lakera-guard plugin must be used with " - ..
