El filtro del navegador de America.gov mantiene nombres e identificaciones gubernamentales genéricas

Por qué importa

Un keep-set decide qué ocurre después de la detección: el código del navegador inspeccionado de America.gov parece eximir nombres, URLs e identificaciones gubernamentales genéricas de la política de redacción predeterminada de Rampart. La ficha del modelo informa solo alrededor de 67.6% de recall en una prueba de identificación gubernamental estructurada y dice que esos identificadores carecen de un mecanismo de respaldo determinístico, mientras que la revisión del código no establece qué llega a los servidores ni qué controles del lado del servidor se aplican.

Reporting record

Finding

America.gov's inspected browser code adds GIVEN_NAME, SURNAME, URL and GOVERNMENT_ID to Rampart's default keep-set, excluding spans with those labels from redaction or blocking in the inspected paths.

How we verified

Methods: documents, testing.

America.gov's client-side privacy wrapper, shared filter implementation and composer/PDF processing code; Rampart's published model card; and a synthetic-label check of four inspected span-selection functions.

Inspected America.gov's client-side JavaScript, traced the keep-set through typed-message privacy checks and PDF and feedback text-scrubbing paths, and checked four span-selection functions using synthetic labels. Compared the configuration with Rampart's published defaults. No personal identifiers were submitted.

Evidence

Reproduction

RuntimeWire independently reproduced the core finding.

Use synthetic labels to check the four inspected span-selection functions: GIVEN_NAME, SURNAME, URL and GOVERNMENT_ID were excluded from selection, while SSN, PASSPORT, DRIVERS_LICENSE, EMAIL, PHONE and BANK_ACCOUNT remained selected.

America.gov's browser filter keeps names and generic government IDs — The inspected client code adds four categories to Rampart's default keep-set, while the model card says generic government identifiers have no deterministic backstop.
