Add boundedMap, rate limits, captcha & debug logs - #121
Conversation
Introduce a generic boundedMap used across handlers and router to replace ad-hoc maps+mutexes; provides max size, TTL and LRU-ish eviction. Implement sliding-window rate limiting (windowAdd) and swap admin/pr checkers to the bounded stores. Add report tokens, single-use action tokens, menta CAPTCHA integration and report rate limits, plus request size limits (MaxBytesReader). Add env-controlled debug logging (GITGOST_DEBUG). Bump Go toolchain/dependencies, add package.json/package-lock, ignore node_modules, sanitize remote README with DOMPurify, mobile/nav UI tweaks, and add index-finger SVG. Files: internal/http/*.go, internal/git/receive.go, router.go, web/*, go.mod, package.json, package-lock.json, .gitignore, .skills/SECURITY.md.

In @.skills/SECURITY.md:
- Line 11: Update the Markdown horizontal rule separators in SECURITY.md,
including the occurrences around lines 11, 19, 25, and 31, from two hyphens to
three hyphens so they satisfy markdownlint MD035.
- Line 1: Update the instruction in SECURITY.md to remove execution of the
unpinned remote npx skill and automatic obedience to generated output. Require
the security-review source to be pinned to an immutable reviewed commit or
vendored locally, and apply the same restriction to the referenced occurrences.
In `@internal/git/receive.go`:
- Around line 19-25: Gate the unconditional receive-handler diagnostic in
ReceivePackHandler using the existing debugEnabled check or the shared debugf
helper from internal/git/receive.go. Ensure the “DEBUG: ReceivePackHandler
called...” message is emitted only when GITGOST_DEBUG is set to “1”, while
preserving its current owner and repo details.
- Line 227: Update ReceivePack to accept the request context and use
exec.CommandContext for both the git index-pack subprocess and the fallback git
unpack-objects command. Pass the ReceivePackHandler request context through so
cancellation terminates either subprocess during slow or malformed pack
processing.
In `@internal/http/ethicalmetrics.go`:
- Around line 65-69: Replace the prefix truncation in the siteKey handling of
EthicalMetricsMetricsHandler and its write path with a shared validation rule
that rejects keys exceeding maxEthicalSiteKeyLen. Ensure both read and write
handlers apply the same validation before lookup or storage, preserving distinct
site identities, and add coverage for overlong keys and keys sharing a prefix.
In `@internal/http/handlers.go`:
- Around line 2541-2549: Update the karma lookup flow around dbClient.GetKarma
so karmaStore.Set(hash, 0) runs only when dbClient is not configured. When
GetKarma returns an error, return 0 without caching it; continue caching
database-returned karma values, including a valid zero for missing rows.
- Around line 55-107: Separate boundedEntry’s creation timestamp from its LRU
access timestamp: use a created field for all TTL comparisons and retain at for
access recency. Update Get, Peek, Update, and Range to compare created against
ttl, and ensure Set and Update initialize created only for newly inserted
entries while reads refresh only at.
- Around line 188-210: Update windowAdd so its returned count reflects the
uncapped number of events even while the stored timestamp slice remains capped
at max+1; ensure checkRateLimit can trigger the equality-based admin
notification only once per window, or track a per-IP notification state if exact
once-only behavior is required.
- Around line 166-186: Update boundedMap.evictOldestLocked to avoid a full
m.data scan for each eviction by using a sub-linear eviction strategy such as
sampling a fixed number of entries or maintaining an LRU/heap structure. Also
replace the oldestKey == "" termination check with the existing first flag so an
actual empty-string key is evicted correctly and the maxSize bound is preserved.
- Around line 2325-2337: Update the GET branch of the report handler to call the
existing checkReportRateLimit before any renderReportForm path can mint
newReportToken, using the request context/IP inputs expected by that guard.
Preserve the current validation, blocked-hash, and report-count behavior while
ensuring rate-limited requests do not receive a token.
- Around line 2403-2423: Bound reportState.IPs in the reportStore.Update
callback: prune entries older than reportWindow before adding the current IP,
and cap the map at maxReportIPsPerHash (defined with the other store limits).
Preserve duplicate-IP suppression and ensure new IPs cannot grow the map beyond
the cap while report counts continue updating.
In `@web/index.html`:
- Around line 4148-4149: Validate URL protocols before assigning link HTML: in
web/index.html lines 4148-4149, parse wikiUrl and allow only https: URLs; in
web/index.html lines 4158-4160, parse website and allow only http: or https:
URLs. Update the link-rendering logic around safeWikiUrl and the website link so
disallowed or invalid values are not rendered, while retaining HTML escaping for
accepted URLs.
In `@web/repo.html`:
- Line 20: Update the DOMPurify script load in web/repo.html at lines 20-20 to
use a pinned version with a matching integrity hash and appropriate cross-origin
attributes. Update renderMd at lines 4827-4829 so it never returns unsanitized
Markdown-derived HTML when DOMPurify is unavailable; instead return escaped text
or a safe error state, preserving sanitization as the required XSS boundary.

Gate the receive-handler diagnostic.
debugf gates messages in internal/git/receive.go, but the supplied internal/http/handlers.go context still calls fmt.Printf("DEBUG: ReceivePackHandler called for %s/%s\n", owner, repo) unconditionally. Therefore, GITGOST_DEBUG does not suppress all Git receive diagnostics. Apply the same gate to that call, or use a shared debug logger.

Do not truncate site identifiers without a consistent, collision-safe policy.
This code stores siteKey[:64], but EthicalMetricsMetricsHandler reads the route value unchanged. An overlong key is therefore stored under its prefix and cannot be found by the fallback query. Two distinct keys with the same first 64 bytes also merge into one site counter and database record.
Reject overlong keys, or apply one shared validation rule to both write and read handlers. Do not use prefix truncation when site identity must remain unique.

Rate limit token issuance on the GET path.
The GET branch mints a token on every request, and reportTokens holds at most reportTokenMax entries with LRU eviction. An unauthenticated client can issue 10000 GET requests and evict all outstanding tokens. Legitimate submissions then fail consumeReportToken and the report workflow stops. checkReportRateLimit currently guards only the POST branch.
Apply the per-IP limit before you mint a token.

reportState.IPs is unbounded inside the bounded store.
reportStore limits the number of hashes to reportStoreMax, but each reportState.IPs map grows without limit. The branch at lines 2411-2419 adds an entry per reporting IP and never removes stale entries. reportWindow is 30 days, so an attacker who rotates source IPs can grow a single entry indefinitely. This defeats the memory bound that this change introduces.
Prune expired IP entries and cap the map size.
🐛 Proposed fix: prune and cap the IP map
if ip != "" {
if s.IPs == nil {
s.IPs = make(map[string]time.Time)

Do not cache karma 0 after a database error.
If dbClient.GetKarma returns an error, the code falls through to karmaStore.Set(hash, 0) at line 2548. internal/database/supabase.go returns a nil error with 0 for a missing row, so an error here means a transport or status failure, not "no karma". The cached 0 then hides the real value for the whole TTL. Combined with the TTL refresh on Get, an actively read hash can stay at 0 indefinitely.
Cache the negative result only when no database is configured.
🐛 Proposed fix
if dbClient != nil {
if karma, err := dbClient.GetKarma(ctx, hash); err == nil {
karmaStore.Set(hash, karma)
return karma
}
+ // Do not cache on a database error; retry on the next read.
+ return 0
}
karmaStore.Set(hash, 0)
return 0📝 Committable suggestion

MDN HTMLAnchorElement protocol href javascript URL security
💡 Result:
The use of the javascript: URL scheme within the href attribute of an HTMLAnchorElement is strongly discouraged due to significant security and accessibility concerns [1][2][3]. Security Risks The javascript: URI scheme functions as a navigation target that executes arbitrary JavaScript code when the browser attempts to navigate to it [1][3]. If an application allows users to provide input that is reflected in these URLs, it can lead to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities [4][5]. Because this code executes within the context of the current document's origin, it can enable session hijacking, credential theft, and other malicious activities [4][5]. Furthermore, the javascript: protocol may be subject to Content Security Policy (CSP) restrictions, particularly via the script-src directive [1][3]. HTMLAnchorElement Property Manipulation Security researchers have noted that relying solely on sanitizing the href attribute can be bypassed by manipulating other properties of the HTMLAnchorElement interface, such as protocol, pathname, or host [6][7]. Because assigning to these individual properties can independently change the resulting URL, they can be used to set the protocol to javascript: without ever calling the href setter, potentially evading simple validation policies [6][7]. Best Practices for Mitigation 1. Avoid javascript: URLs: Do not use the javascript: scheme in anchor elements. Use standard event listeners (e.g., click events) attached to elements to handle user interactions instead [2][4]. 2. Use Safe Alternatives: For client-side interactivity, rely on JavaScript event handlers rather than embedding code in URLs [4]. 3. Strict Validation: If you must process user-provided URLs, perform strict validation. Relying on simple regular expressions is often insufficient to catch encoded variants [4][5]. Instead, utilize URL parsing APIs to verify that the protocol is explicitly on an allowlist (e.g., http:, https:, or mailto:) [5]. 4. Defensive Coding: Be aware that modern security frameworks (such as Lightning Web Security) may distort or restrict the behavior of property setters like HTMLAnchorElement.protocol to prevent these bypass techniques [7]. In summary, because javascript: URLs operate as executable code rather than resource locations, they represent a high-risk pattern that should be avoided in favor of modern, event-based DOM manipulation [1][2][3].

OWASP XSS Prevention Cheat Sheet href javascript URL
💡 Result:
The OWASP Cheat Sheet Series strongly advises against the use of the javascript: pseudo-protocol in href attributes to prevent Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities [1][2]. Allowing user-controlled input into these attributes permits attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the victim's browser context [3][4]. To secure applications against XSS in URL contexts, OWASP provides the following recommendations: 1. Use Allow-listing: Validate URLs to ensure they use only trusted protocols such as http or https [1][4]. Reject any input that attempts to use the javascript: scheme or other dangerous URI schemes [3][4]. 2. Avoid javascript: URLs: Do not use the javascript: protocol as a navigation target [5]. Instead, use standard event listeners (e.g., onclick) for client-side interactivity, which allows for better separation of concerns and improved security [4]. 3. Input Validation and Canonicalization: Always canonicalize input before validation to ensure that encoded variants (like HTML entities or mixed-case representations) are detected and neutralized [4]. 4. Output Encoding: When untrusted data must be placed in a URL context (e.g., as a query parameter), use proper URL encoding for the parameter values [1][2]. If placing data into an href attribute, use URL encoding followed by HTML attribute encoding [1][2]. If you are constructing URLs using JavaScript in a DOM context, utilize safe sinks such as window.encodeURIComponent(x) to ensure that untrusted data is correctly encoded [1][2]. Using the javascript: protocol is considered a major security risk and should be replaced by safer architectural patterns [5][4].

Make Markdown sanitization immutable and fail closed.
web/repo.html loads a mutable DOMPurify CDN bundle without integrity, and renderMd(md) returns Markdown-derived HTML without sanitization when DOMPurify is unavailable. Serve a pinned integrity-protected sanitizer asset, or render escaped text or a safe error state when the sanitizer fails to load. DOMPurify is the XSS control in this path.
