security: workbook path allowlist + stronger image polyglot validation (#54 )

- dispo workbook imports are pinned to DISPO_IMPORT_DIR (default ./imports): tRPC input rejects absolute paths and .. segments, runtime reader re-validates containment via path.relative. Closes a path-traversal class that reached ExcelJS CVEs through admin/compromised tokens. - image validator now checks the full 8-byte PNG magic, enforces PNG IEND and JPEG EOI trailers, scans the decoded buffer for markup polyglot markers (<script, <svg, <iframe, javascript:, onerror=, ...), and explicitly rejects SVG. Provider-generated covers (DALL-E, Gemini) run through the same validator before persistence — an untrusted upstream cannot smuggle a stored-XSS payload past us. - added image-validation.test.ts and tightened documentation.

+  2. Roll all application containers — existing JWTs signed under the old key fail verification and the user is redirected to sign-in.

+- Recommended cadence: quarterly, or immediately on suspected compromise.

Hartmut	c4b01c1bfc	security: workbook path allowlist + stronger image polyglot validation (#54 ) - dispo workbook imports are pinned to DISPO_IMPORT_DIR (default ./imports): tRPC input rejects absolute paths and .. segments, runtime reader re-validates containment via path.relative. Closes a path-traversal class that reached ExcelJS CVEs through admin/compromised tokens. - image validator now checks the full 8-byte PNG magic, enforces PNG IEND and JPEG EOI trailers, scans the decoded buffer for markup polyglot markers (<script, <svg, <iframe, javascript:, onerror=, ...), and explicitly rejects SVG. Provider-generated covers (DALL-E, Gemini) run through the same validator before persistence — an untrusted upstream cannot smuggle a stored-XSS payload past us. - added image-validation.test.ts and tightened documentation.

Hartmut	3392297791	security: await audit writes, add per-turn AssistantPrompt audit (#55 ) - Auth.js authorize/signOut: await createAuditEntry on every branch so auth events land in the audit store before the JWT is minted / session closes. Previously these were fire-and-forget and would be dropped under DB load. - Assistant chat: make appendPromptInjectionGuard async and await its own SecurityAlert audit; add auditUserPromptTurn() that records every user message turn as an AssistantPrompt entry containing conversationId, length, SHA-256 fingerprint, pageContext and whether the injection guard fired. Raw prompt text is intentionally not stored — the hash lets a responder correlate a chat transcript with a forensic request without the audit store accumulating a plain-text corpus of everything users typed. - Replace bare crypto.* with explicit node:crypto imports. - Document the retention posture in docs/security-architecture.md §6. Fixes gitea #55.	2026-04-17 15:06:17 +02:00
Hartmut	01c45d0344	security: align client password policy with server, enforce AUTH_SECRET length + entropy (#56 ) Client-side validators (reset-password, invite-accept, first-admin setup, user-create modal) previously checked password.length < 8 while every server-side Zod schema required .min(12). External API consumers (or a confused browser UI) could get past the client check but fail at the tRPC boundary — or worse, quietly under-enforce policy compared to what admins expect. Fix: introduce PASSWORD_MIN_LENGTH (12) and PASSWORD_MAX_LENGTH (128) in @capakraken/shared and import them from every pre-submit client validator and every server Zod schema. Single source of truth; drift becomes a compile error rather than a security finding. Also hardens the AUTH_SECRET runtime check: in addition to the existing placeholder-blacklist, production startup now rejects secrets shorter than 32 chars OR with Shannon entropy below 3.5 bits/char. That covers low-entropy-but-long values like "aaaa..." (38 chars, entropy 0) which would have passed the previous checks. Documented the rotation process for AUTH_SECRET + POSTGRES_PASSWORD in docs/security-architecture.md §3. Verified: - pnpm test:unit — 396 files / 1922 tests passed - pnpm --filter @capakraken/web exec tsc --noEmit — clean - pnpm --filter @capakraken/api exec tsc --noEmit — clean Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-04-17 14:56:43 +02:00

Placeholders are still available to `next build` but no longer persist in the builder layer or in the published migrator image (which is FROM builder). - Dockerfile.dev: add HEALTHCHECK against /api/health and install curl for it. - .dockerignore: cover nested */.env, */.pem, */.key, /secrets/. - runtime-env.ts: add the CI build placeholder strings to the disallowed-secret set so a misconfigured prod deploy using the baked-in ARG defaults fails startup instead of silently running with a known-bad secret. - .env.example: document the new POSTGRES_PASSWORD requirement. - CI: write POSTGRES_PASSWORD into the Fresh-Linux Docker Deploy job's .env (must match docker-compose.ci.yml's hardcoded DATABASE_URL), and provide a dummy value in the E2E job where compose validates all services' interp.

Hartmut	e2dddd30df	security: RBAC cache cross-instance invalidation + force re-login on role/perm change (#57 ) - shrink roleDefaults cache TTL from 60s to 10s (safety-net staleness bound) - publish/subscribe on capakraken:rbac-invalidate so peer instances drop their local role-defaults cache on mutation (ioredis pub/sub; lazy init so idle test files don't open connections) - after updateUserRole/setUserPermissions/resetUserPermissions: delete all ActiveSession rows for that user so the next request re-auths via tRPC's jti check, and invalidate the role-defaults cache - tests: peer-instance invalidation via FakeRedis pub/sub fan-out; mutation side-effects assert session deletion + cache invalidation on each path Without this, demoted admins kept their JWT valid until expiry and peer instances kept serving stale role defaults for up to the TTL window.

Hartmut	23c6e0e04b	security: sanitise Prisma error leaks in AI-tool helpers (#53 ) Five helper error mappers (timeline / project-creation / resource-creation / vacation-creation / task-action-execution) fell through to `return { error: error.message }` for BAD_REQUEST and CONFLICT cases. When the TRPCError wrapped a Prisma error, the message contained column names, relation paths, and the offending unique-constraint value — all of which would reach the LLM in chat context and, via audit_log.changes JSONB, the DB. Add `sanitizeAssistantErrorMessage()` that regex-detects Prisma and raw Postgres signatures (P2002/P2003/P2025, not-null, FK, check-constraint, duplicate-key) and replaces them with a generic "Invalid input". Also caps messages at 500 chars to defend against stack-trace-like payloads. Wire the helper into all five call-sites; the developer-constructed `AssistantVisibleError` branch in `normalizeAssistantExecutionError` is left untouched since those strings are hand-written. Coverage: 11 new tests in assistant-tools-error-sanitiser.test.ts; existing vacation / task-action / resource-creation / project-creation error tests (12 tests, 5 files) all remain green.

Hartmut	019702c043	security: ReDoS hardening on blueprint field validator (#52 ) Admin-editable blueprint field patterns go through `new RegExp(pattern).test(userValue)` — a classic ReDoS sink if the admin account is compromised or the permission is ever delegated. A pattern like `^(a+)+$` against 30 'a's followed by '!' freezes the event loop for seconds per request. Three layers of defence: - Save-time: FieldValidationSchema.pattern now has `.max(200)` and a `.refine()` that rejects nested-quantifier shapes like `(x+)+`, `(?:x)+`, `(x{2,})`. - Runtime (engine/blueprint/validator.ts): - isSuspectRegexPattern() runs the same heuristic. If it fires, the field fails validation outright — regex is never compiled. - Input strings are sliced to 4096 chars before .test() so even a benign pattern against a 10 MB payload returns in < 50 ms. - RegExp compile failures are caught and treated as validation errors rather than crashing the request. Tests: 10 cases in packages/engine/src/__tests__/blueprint-validator-redos.test.ts, including the canonical `^(a+)+$` attack — completes in < 50 ms.

Hartmut	b9040cb328	test(security): scoped-caller forwarding preserves read-only proxy (#47 ) Adds a regression suite asserting that the read-only Prisma proxy is still in effect after a tool's executor forwards ctx.db into a scoped tRPC caller (helpers.ts::createScopedCallerContext). Covers all three attack surfaces: model writes, raw-SQL escape hatches, and interactive $transaction / $runCommandRaw calls. These tests pin the behaviour enforced by 1ff5c33; any future refactor that unwraps the proxy during forwarding will fail this suite.

Hartmut	3d89d7d8eb	security: redact sensitive fields in audit DB entries (#46 ) createAuditEntry now deep-walks before/after/metadata and replaces values of password, newPassword, currentPassword, passwordHash, token, accessToken, refreshToken, sessionToken, apiKey, authorization, cookie, secret, totpSecret, backupCode(s) with "[REDACTED]" before the JSONB write. The pino logger already redacts these paths for stdout (see lib/logger.ts), but DB writes had no equivalent guard — the AI chat loop at assistant-chat-loop.ts:265 blindly stores parsedArgs from tool calls (e.g. set_user_password, create_user) into the AuditLog table. Matching is case-insensitive; nested objects and arrays are recursed to a depth of 8. Diffs are computed post-redaction so UPDATE entries that only changed a sensitive field are correctly collapsed to no-op.

Hartmut	4ff7bc90c3	security: SSRF guard covers IPv6 + DNS-rebind defence via pinned IP (#49 ) Expand the SSRF blocklist from IPv4-only to IPv6 loopback/ULA (fc00::/7)/ link-local (fe80::/10)/multicast/IPv4-mapped, plus the missing IPv4 ranges 0.0.0.0/8, 100.64.0.0/10 CGNAT, and TEST-NET/benchmark ranges. Replace the single-lookup SSRF guard with resolveAndValidate(): resolves all DNS records (lookup { all: true }) so a hostname returning "public + private" is rejected, and returns the first validated address for connection pinning. The webhook dispatcher now switches from plain fetch() to https.request() with a custom Agent.lookup that returns the pre-validated IP. A DNS rebind between the guard check and the TCP connect() can no longer redirect the dial to an internal address. Hostname still flows through for SNI and certificate validation.

Hartmut	3222bec8a5	security: atomic compare-and-swap for TOTP replay window (#43 , part 1) The previous SELECT → compare → UPDATE sequence let two concurrent login requests with the same valid 6-digit code both observe a stale lastTotpAt, both pass the in-JS replay check, and both succeed. A stolen TOTP (shoulder- surf, phishing-proxy replay) was usable twice within its 30 s window. Replace the three callsites (login authorize, self-service enable, self- service verify) with a shared consumeTotpWindow() helper: a single updateMany() expresses "window unused" as a SQL WHERE clause, so Postgres' row lock serialises concurrent writers and whichever commits second sees count=0 and is treated as a replay. Backup codes (ticket part 2) are tracked as follow-up work. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-04-17 09:11:50 +02:00
Hartmut	d1075af77d	security: tighten CSP — drop provider wildcards, add object/frame/worker-src (#45 ) Browser code never calls OpenAI/Azure/Gemini directly; all AI traffic is server-side tRPC. connect-src is now locked to 'self'. Added object-src 'none', frame-src 'none', media-src 'self', and worker-src 'self' blob:. style-src keeps 'unsafe-inline' for React + @react-pdf/renderer (documented residual risk — script-src is nonce-based so CSS injection cannot escalate to JS). Added three regression tests covering connect-src no-wildcards, object/frame-src 'none', and worker-src scope. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-04-17 09:08:40 +02:00
Hartmut	b32160d546	security: default-deny /api middleware allowlist (#44 ) Previously middleware.ts listed /api/ as a public prefix, so any new API route added under /api/** was served without a session check unless the developer remembered to self-authenticate it. The middleware now returns 404 for any /api path not explicitly allowlisted (auth, trpc, sse, cron, reports, health, ready, perf) — adding a new API route is a deliberate allowlist edit. verifyCronSecret was already fail-closed when CRON_SECRET is unset; added unit tests.

Hartmut	d45cc00f2f	security: cookie + session hardening (#41 ) Three related fixes: - Cookie secure flag now tracks AUTH_URL scheme (https → Secure), not NODE_ENV — staging over HTTPS with NODE_ENV!=production used to ship Set-Cookie without Secure. Cookie name gains __Host- prefix when Secure is on. - jwt() callback no longer swallows session-registry write failures; concurrent-session cap is now fail-closed. - Session callback no longer copies token.sid onto session.user.jti. The tRPC route handler reads the JTI directly from the encrypted JWT via getToken() so it stays server-side. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-04-17 09:00:54 +02:00
