A second-pass audit surfaced three severe issues missed by the previous
review, each a sibling code path of a bug class that was only partially
fixed before:
- auth: JWT session login (jwtSession.go) registered its authenticator
even when CROSS_LOGIN_JWT_HS512_KEY was unset, leaving an empty HMAC
key. golang-jwt verifies any HS256/HS512 signature against an empty
key, allowing unauthenticated admin token forgery. Init() now refuses
to register without a key, with a defense-in-depth empty-key guard in
the keyfunc.
- repository: metric names from GraphQL ([String!]) were interpolated
raw into json_extract(footprint, "$.<name>") SQL. SQLite parses
double-quoted strings as literals, enabling SQL injection by any
authenticated user. Validate metric names against ^[a-zA-Z0-9_]+$ in
jobsMetricStatisticsHistogram and buildFloatJSONCondition.
- metricstore: cluster/host line-protocol tags flowed unvalidated into
path.Join(RootDir, cluster, host) for checkpoint/WAL files, allowing
arbitrary file write outside the checkpoint root via NATS
(unauthenticated) or POST /api/write. Reject path-traversal sequences
in DecodeLine before the tags become path components.
