⚠️ Security — HIGH + MEDIUM findings from 2026-04-15 audit cycle


Issue #120 — HIGH: Unauthenticated PATCH /workspaces/:id

Attack vector: No credentials required. Any caller who knows (or guesses) a workspace UUID can write to sensitive fields.

Field Impact
tier Resource limit escalation (tier 4 = 4 GB RAM)
parent_id Rewrites A2A communication hierarchy, bypasses CanCommunicate
runtime Swaps container image on next restart
workspace_dir Redirects host filesystem bind-mount to attacker-controlled path

Root cause: r.PATCH("/workspaces/:id", wh.Update) was registered on the root router, outside the wsAdmin AdminAuth group, with a stale comment claiming "canvas doesn't carry a bearer token for position-persist calls." Canvas already requires AdminAuth for GET /workspaces list load, so the token is always available.

Fix:

  • router.go: Remove standalone r.PATCH(...) from root router; add wsAdmin.PATCH("/workspaces/:id", wh.Update) inside the existing AdminAuth group
  • workspace.go Update(): Add workspace-existence guard (SELECT EXISTS) at handler entry — previously returned 200 {"status":"updated"} for nonexistent IDs (zero-row silent UPDATE)

Issue #113 — MEDIUM: Schedule IDOR (carry-over, prior cycle)

Attack vector: Authenticated workspace token can PATCH or DELETE schedules belonging to any workspace, not just its own.

Root cause: Update and Delete handlers queried WHERE id = $1 using only scheduleID, without binding workspace_id.

Fix:

  • schedules.go Update(): Add workspaceID := c.Param("id") and bind to all queries: WHERE id = $1 AND workspace_id = $2 / WHERE id = $1 AND workspace_id = $8
  • schedules.go Delete(): Same — WHERE id = $1 AND workspace_id = $2

Issue #121 — MEDIUM: GET /workspaces binary-code divergence (informational)

The audit noted the running binary gates GET /workspaces with AdminAuth but the repo code appeared open. Current main HEAD already has wsAdmin.GET("/workspaces", wh.List) in the AdminAuth group — this divergence was resolved before this PR. DevOps should confirm the next binary build uses current main and not an older SHA (e4e6634).


Files changed

  • platform/internal/router/router.go — PATCH moved into AdminAuth group; comments updated
  • platform/internal/handlers/workspace.go — 404-guard added to Update handler
  • platform/internal/handlers/schedules.go — workspace_id binding in Update + Delete

Test plan

  • go test -race ./... in platform/ — all 487 tests pass
  • curl -X PATCH http://localhost:8080/workspaces/<uuid> -d '{"tier":4}'401 Unauthorized (no token)
  • curl -X PATCH http://localhost:8080/workspaces/<uuid> -d '{"tier":4}' -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>"200 (valid token)
  • curl -X PATCH http://localhost:8080/workspaces/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" -d '{"name":"x"}'404 (nonexistent ID)
  • PATCH schedule from wrong workspace → 404 (workspace_id mismatch)
  • DELETE schedule from wrong workspace → 404
  • Canvas node drag → position saved correctly (AdminAuth token present)

…icated write vectors

Issue #120 (HIGH — immediately exploitable):
  PATCH /workspaces/:id was registered on the root router with no auth
  middleware. An attacker with any workspace UUID could:
    - Escalate tier (tier 4 = 4 GB RAM allocation)
    - Rewrite parent_id to subvert CanCommunicate A2A access control
    - Swap runtime image on next restart
    - Redirect workspace_dir host bind-mount to arbitrary path
  Fix: move PATCH into the wsAdmin AdminAuth group alongside POST, DELETE.
  The canvas position-persist call already has an AdminAuth token (required
  for GET /workspaces list on initial load) so no canvas regression.
  Also add workspace-existence guard in Update handler — previously returned
  200 with zero rows affected for nonexistent IDs.

Issue #113 (MEDIUM — schedule IDOR, carry-over from prior cycle):
  PATCH /workspaces/:id/schedules/:scheduleId and DELETE operated on
  scheduleID alone (WHERE id = $1), allowing any authenticated caller to
  modify or delete schedules belonging to other workspaces.
  Fix: bind workspace_id = c.Param("id") in both Update and Delete handlers;
  add AND workspace_id = $N to all schedule SQL queries.

⚠️ Canvas regression — PATCH will 401 in production

I verified locally: `canvas/src/lib/api.ts` uses `credentials: "include"` (session cookies), not bearer tokens. Moving PATCH into the `wsAdmin` AdminAuth group means every `PATCH /workspaces/:id` call from canvas (drag-to-reposition, name-edit, etc.) will return 401 once any workspace on the platform has a live token:

```typescript
// canvas/src/lib/api.ts
const res = await fetch(`${PLATFORM_URL}${path}`, {
method,
headers, // ← no Authorization: Bearer
body: body ? JSON.stringify(body) : undefined,
credentials: "include", // ← cookies only
});
```

`middleware/wsauth_middleware.go:74-81` AdminAuth only checks `Authorization: Bearer `; it doesn't read cookies or fall back to the session. So the note in this PR — "canvas position-persist uses the same AdminAuth token already required for GET /workspaces list on initial load" — isn't accurate; canvas never sends a bearer for any call. The lazy-bootstrap path (HasAnyLiveToken → 0 → fail-open) is the only reason this works in local dev.

Two ways to land this safely

Option A — Field-level authz (my original recommendation on #120): Keep PATCH on the root router, but inside `Update` check: if the body contains ONLY `{x, y}` (and optionally `role`/`canvas`), let it through; if it touches `tier`/`parent_id`/`runtime`/`workspace_dir`, require a valid bearer token (call `wsauth.ValidateAnyToken` inline). Smaller blast radius, doesn't touch canvas at all.

Option B — Extend AdminAuth to accept session cookies: Add a `sessionCookieValidator` alongside the bearer check — if `mcp_session` cookie is present and the session is valid (via auth.Provider), accept. This is the SaaS-compatible path and aligns with Phase F. Bigger change, but solves the problem once for all admin routes.

What I'd do

Option A as the hotfix (ships tonight), Option B as the Phase-H follow-up. The schedule IDOR half of this PR (#113) is clean and I already had the same fix in #124 which I just closed as superseded — that part can stand alone if you want to split.

Still holding per overnight rules

PR touches `wsAdmin` auth wiring → needs explicit CEO approval to merge even with `--admin`. And CI is still org-spending-cap blocked.

…istence guard

Two gaps identified by Security Auditor in PR #125 review cycle:

1. handlers_extended_test.go:
   - Fix TestExtended_WorkspaceUpdate: add SELECT EXISTS mock expectation
     so the test correctly reflects the #120 existence guard now running first.
   - Add TestExtended_WorkspaceUpdate_NotFound: verifies PATCH returns 404
     (not 200) for a nonexistent workspace ID — the core #120 behaviour fix.

2. wsauth_middleware_test.go:
   - Add TestAdminAuth_Issue120_PatchWorkspace_NoBearer_Returns401: documents
     the confirmed attack vector (PATCH without token must return 401) and
     asserts AdminAuth is applied to PATCH /workspaces/:id per the router.go change.

1 of 7 checks passed
HongmingWang-Rabbit pushed a commit that referenced this pull request Apr 15, 2026
#125 added a SELECT EXISTS guard before WorkspaceHandler.Update applies
any UPDATE so nonexistent workspace IDs return 404 instead of silent
zero-row successes. The 4 existing WorkspaceUpdate_* sqlmock tests
didn't mock the probe, so they broke on main. This was not caught
because CI is blocked by the Actions billing cap.

Adds ExpectQuery for the EXISTS probe to:
- TestWorkspaceUpdate_ParentID
- TestWorkspaceUpdate_NameOnly
- TestWorkspaceUpdate_MultipleFields
- TestWorkspaceUpdate_RuntimeField

TestWorkspaceUpdate_BadJSON doesn't need the fix — it aborts on
c.ShouldBindJSON before reaching the guard.

fix(tests): add EXISTS probe mock to 4 WorkspaceUpdate tests (post #125)
HongmingWang-Rabbit pushed a commit that referenced this pull request Apr 15, 2026
Closes #138. #125 moved PATCH /workspaces/:id into the wsAdmin AdminAuth
group to close the #120 unauth vulnerability, but broke canvas drag-
reposition and inline rename because canvas uses session cookies not
bearer tokens. Multi-tenant deployments with any live token would have
seen every canvas PATCH 401.

Option A per #138 triage: PATCH goes back on the open router, but
WorkspaceHandler.Update now enforces field-level authz:

  Cosmetic (no bearer required):
    name, role, x, y, canvas

  Sensitive (bearer required when any live token exists):
    tier          — resource escalation
    parent_id     — A2A hierarchy manipulation
    runtime       — container image swap
    workspace_dir — host bind-mount redirection

Fail-open bootstrap: HasAnyLiveTokenGlobal = 0 → pass-through
(fresh install, pre-Phase-30 upgrade path). Matches the same
lazy-bootstrap contract WorkspaceAuth and AdminAuth use elsewhere.

3 new tests cover all three branches of the matrix (cosmetic
no-bearer, sensitive no-bearer-rejected, sensitive fail-open).

The #215-class fix in memory.py (859a60e) adds headers=_headers to the
direct-httpx commit_memory + search_memory paths, but 9 existing tests
in test_memory.py had FakeAsyncClient.post/get signatures like
`async def post(self, url, json):` with no headers kwarg. Python
raised TypeError: unexpected keyword argument 'headers' on every call,
commit_memory caught it and returned {success: False}, tests failed.

Fixes applied:

1. Add `headers=None` to every FakeAsyncClient.post + .get signature
   across test_memory.py. Uses replace_all so all 9+ fakes match.

2. For tests that capture a single captured["url"]:
   - test_commit_memory_uses_awareness_client_when_configured
   - test_commit_memory_uses_platform_fallback_without_awareness
   - test_commit_memory_httpx_201_success
   filter to only capture /memories URLs. Without the filter, the
   subsequent _record_memory_activity fire-and-forget post to /activity
   overwrites captured["url"] and the assertion fails.

3. For test_commit_memory_promoted_packet_logs_skill_promotion: bump
   expected captured["calls"] from 3 to 4. Pre-fix, the memory_write
   /activity call (from _record_memory_activity #125) was silently
   dropped because the fake rejected headers=; post-fix it succeeds
   and lands in the captured list alongside the skill_promotion
   /activity and /registry/heartbeat calls. Also extend that test's
   fake to accept /registry/heartbeat (was raising AssertionError).

Total: 36/36 memory tests pass. Full workspace-template suite 1189/1189.

This is strictly test-infrastructure work — zero production code
changed. CI never caught the break because the Mac mini runner has
been stuck for ~4 hours (tick-33/34/35/36 reports).

Fixes audit #125 findings for CWE-639:

1. admin_test_token.go — CRITICAL IDOR (finding #112)
   When ADMIN_TOKEN is set in production, require it explicitly on
   GET /admin/workspaces/:id/test-token. The original gap: AdminAuth
   accepted any valid org-scoped token, letting an Org A token holder
   mint workspace bearer tokens for ANY workspace UUID they could enumerate.
   Now requires ADMIN_TOKEN when it's configured; MOLECULE_ENV!=production
   path still requires a valid bearer (any org token works for local dev).

2. org_plugin_allowlist.go — HIGH IDOR (finding #112)
   GET and PUT /orgs/:id/plugins/allowlist: add requireOrgOwnership()
   check after org existence verification. Org-token holders can only
   read/write their own org's allowlist. Session and ADMIN_TOKEN callers
   bypass the check (they have platform-wide access via the session
   cookie path, not org tokens).

Closes: #112 (CWE-639 IDOR — tenant config access)

Replace all c.JSON(http.StatusBadRequest, gin.H{"error": err.Error()})
calls across 22 handler files with context-appropriate generic messages
to prevent internal error strings (DB details, validation messages,
file paths) leaking into API responses.

Pattern established:
- ShouldBindJSON failures → "invalid request body" (or "invalid delegation request")
- Validation failures → "invalid workspace ID", "invalid path", etc.
- Server-side errors still logged, only generic message returned to client
