fix(security): close fail-open scheduler gate, SSRF rebind and body-flag coercion - #629
Conversation
…lag coercion Confirmed findings from the full-codebase review sweep. Each was verified against the code before being accepted; roughly a third of the reviewed batch was refuted on inspection and is deliberately not touched here. scheduler: a config read failure emptied the hard-disabled set and every module the admin had turned off then auto-ran, destructive ones included. Skip the tick instead — an unreadable config is not permission to run everything. Reviewing that fix turned up the wider hole: "hard-disabled modules never auto-run" was enforced only on the plain schedule loop, so schedule_blocks and the upgradinatorr profile schedules ran disabled modules even when config loaded fine. All three dispatch paths now share the gate. webhooks: hmac.compare_digest raises TypeError on non-ASCII str, so a unicode ?secret= was an unhandled 500 on an unauthenticated route, and a unicode secret in config broke ingest entirely. Compare bytes. ssrf_guard: safe_external_get resolved the host a second time and pinned http to that address without validating it, so a rebinding host passed the check and was fetched anyway — the opposite of what its docstring promised. The address-class checks move into one predicate both call sites share. media_api: the import-exclusion request carried X-Api-Key with no URL guard and redirects enabled, unlike every sibling ARR call. And resolve_duplicates never filtered keep_id out of remove_ids, so a request naming it in both deleted the kept item — off disk, with deleteFiles — while reporting it as kept. webhook_cache: a bare except turned any database error into "already seen", silently dropping the webhook. Only an IntegrityError means a duplicate; the docstring already said so. auth: a full session token was accepted in the query string on any route. Those are logged, cached and sent as referers, which is why stream tokens exist. A URL-embedded token must now be stream-scoped, and the two 403 paths share one response body. Body booleans get one owner in api/utils.body_flag: "false" and "0" arrive from JSON as truthy strings, and six sites read them raw — four of them destructive deleteFile/deleteFiles paths. Fixing only the reported site would have left the rest.

Validate and pin the ARR target before creating the client.
get_import_exclusion calls create_arr_client before is_safe_url. The factory probes ARR with X-Api-Key, including its Lidarr fallback, so the guard does not protect those requests. The later _rq.get resolves DNS again after validation, and allow_redirects=False does not prevent DNS rebinding. Add a pinned transport in backend/util/ssrf_guard.py, wire it into create_arr_client and the exclusion request, and keep the pre-factory validation as a separate guard.

…t style Review round 2 on this branch. get_import_exclusion called create_arr_client before the URL guard, and the factory probes ARR with X-Api-Key — including its Lidarr fallback. Validating only the later request left those probes unprotected. The guard moves ahead of the factory and the now-redundant second copy goes. Tests: bind side-effecting calls to a local before asserting, since -O strips assert statements and would take the request with them. The rebind test also asserts requests.get was never reached, so a regression that fetches first and rejects after cannot pass on the ValueError alone. Docstrings back to one line, section banners and an over-long comment removed.

…quest Review round 3 on this branch. The previous fix only examined the query token when it was the one being used. A request carrying a valid Bearer header *and* ?token=<session JWT> passed straight through, leaving the full session token in a URL that access logs, referers and browser history all keep. The query parameter is now decoded and scope-checked independently of which token authenticated. Pinned by a case that returns 200 on the previous commit. ssrf_guard: safe_external_get validated only the first address getaddrinfo returned. requests re-resolves and may pick any record from the set, so a host publishing one public and one private A record slipped through. Every address is now checked, which also narrows the rebinding window to a genuinely changing DNS answer rather than a static mixed RRset.
|
Round 3, both outside-diff findings triaged. main.py:187 — accepted, real gap. The previous fix only examined the query token when it was the one authenticating. A valid Bearer header plus ssrf_guard.py:114 — partly accepted. You are right that TLS verification is not pinning, and there was a concrete gap inside the finding: Still declining the custom transport. With |

Review round 4 on this branch. Starlette's QueryParams.get returns the LAST value, so ?token=<session JWT>&token=<stream> handed the scope check the stream token while the session JWT rode along in the URL unexamined — the same leak the previous two rounds closed for the header case. One token parameter or none. Pinned by a case that returns 200 on the previous commit.

Round 4, accepted. Confirmed the mechanism before fixing: Rejecting outright rather than validating each: a legitimate client never sends two, and one-or-none is the fail-closed shape. The regression case returns 200 on the previous commit and 403 now. |

Confirmed findings from the full-codebase CodeRabbit sweep (#623). Every one was verified against the code before being accepted — roughly a third of the reviewed batch was refuted on inspection and is deliberately not touched here, including two "invalidate the poster list cache" findings for caches that do not exist, and a timezone change that would have introduced an 8-hour skew.
