Summary

Closes the portal/API ops security bundle from issue #3 / gap items 4–7:

  • Authenticate POST /update_terms with ADMIN_TOKEN Bearer (POST-only; auth before 1 req/s limit)
  • Fail-fast ADMIN_TOKEN (no silent dev-admin-token; ALLOW_INSECURE_DEFAULTS local opt-in)
  • Constant-time Bearer compare (subtle) shared by admin + update_terms
  • Portal redirect_uri allowlist (VITE_REDIRECT_URI_ALLOWLIST / localhost flag); SDK sanitizeRedirectUri
  • Rate-limit IP uses TCP peer by default; TRUSTED_PROXY_CIDRS enables XFF (rightmost hop)
  • GET /health for readiness (e2e/CI); docs + skills/security-ops/SKILL.md

Test plan

  • cd api && cargo test (unit + integration auth)
  • SDK + web Vitest (redirect allowlist)
  • Playwright e2e (authenticated terms sync + EVM sign) — 12 passed
  • Manual curl: unauth/bad Bearer → 401; valid Bearer → sync; /health → ok
  • Staging: confirm prod ADMIN_TOKEN set; TRUSTED_PROXY_CIDRS only if behind reverse proxy; set VITE_REDIRECT_URI_ALLOWLIST for real dapp origins

Acceptance criteria (issue #3)

  • Unauthenticated /update_terms → 401; authenticated still syncs
  • No known default admin token in production config; CI/dev documented
  • Portal refuses non-allowlisted redirect_uri
  • XFF spoofing ignored without trusted proxies; trusted mode documented + tested
  • Admin bearer comparison constant-time
  • README + .env.example + CI/e2e updated
  • EVM Playwright e2e green with authenticated terms sync

Closes #3

RECOMMEND: ACCEPT

Thorough security + gap review of MR !22 (fix/issue-3-security-ops → main, c40ea6e) against issue #3 / GAP items 4–7.

Verdict

Issue #3 acceptance criteria are met in code. No critical/high defects or prompt-injection issues in the changed surface. Residual items are configuration hardening and test-depth follow-ups — not merge blockers for this scoped ops-security bundle.

Out of scope / no regression from this diff: DeFi attacks, smart-contract attacks, oracle manipulation, tokenomic/economic attacks (no on-chain contracts/oracles/tokenomics in repo or this MR). Pre-existing out-of-scope debt (Telegram HMAC, Solana/Terra verify, bot fail-open, open property auto-upsert) remains unchanged.

Issue #3 acceptance criteria

Criterion Status Evidence
Unauthenticated /update_terms → 401; authenticated syncs Met api/src/routes/update_terms.rs (POST-only, require_admin before rate limit + sync); deny paths in api/tests/integration_test.rs
No known default admin token in prod config Met api/src/config.rs resolve_admin_token — missing/empty/dev-admin-token fail-fast unless ALLOW_INSECURE_DEFAULTS
Portal refuses non-allowlisted redirect_uri Met web/src/ui.ts + sanitizeRedirectUri (SDK + portal)
XFF spoofing ignored without trusted proxies Met api/src/rate_limit.rs peer default; TRUSTED_PROXY_CIDRS + rightmost hop
Admin bearer compare constant-time Met api/src/auth.rs (subtle::ConstantTimeEq); shared by admin + update_terms
README + .env.example + CI/e2e updated Met docs, env examples, .gitlab-ci.yml, Playwright ADMIN_TOKEN + /health
EVM Playwright e2e green with authenticated sync Met (per MR; global-setup sends Bearer) Staging checklist item still open (expected)

GAP items 4–7 marked Addressed in gaps/GAP_1786322222.md — accurate for portal/API ops.

Security audit (changed code)

Area Result
Access control / privileges /update_terms + /admin/* gated on shared Bearer; auth before ops rate limit (good)
Open redirect / phishing Scheme allowlist; rejects javascript:, data:, //, userinfo; origin match; deny-by-default when allowlist empty
XFF / rate-limit bypass Default safe (peer only); trusted-proxy mode documented
Timing oracle on Bearer Constant-time compare centralized
CSRF GET removed; Bearer not cookie-based
DB leaks / SQLi No schema change; parameterized queries unchanged; auth bypass to admin data closed for this path
/health info leak Minimal {status: ok} — OK for probes
SSRF via sync URL Not request-controlled (config-only); pre-existing if env compromised
Prompt injection (skills/docs) Operational docs only — no finding

Residual (non-blocking)

Severity Finding Suggested follow-up
Medium .env.example ships ADMIN_TOKEN=change-me-admin-token; fail-fast only blocks dev-admin-token Also reject known example placeholders, or leave example commented/empty
Medium TRUSTED_PROXY_CIDRS accepts 0.0.0.0/0 / ::/0 with no boot guard Reject world-trust CIDRs at parse time
Medium No Playwright e2e for allowlisted vs evil redirect_uri Add browser cases
Medium No integration happy-path for authenticated /update_terms → published/unchanged Add assertion
Medium Blocked redirect: success UI with no “redirect not allowed” hint Operator/UX polish
Low GAP §5 still claims missing admin/XFF tests (stale vs new unit tests) Doc cleanup
Low Admin DELETE + cascade not integration-tested Optional

Attack / test matrix (issue #3)

Vector Expectation Code Tests
Unauth flood /update_terms 401; no GitLab/publish ✅ Partial (401 covered; no outbound-fetch assertion)
Default/guessable admin token Fail-fast ✅ (dev-admin-token) Unit ✅; example placeholder residual
redirect_uri=https://evil.com No navigate ✅ Vitest ✅; e2e ❌
javascript: / data: / // / userinfo Blocked ✅ Vitest ✅
XFF spoof without trust Ignored ✅ Unit ✅; HTTP integration ❌
Bearer timing Constant-time ✅ Unit equality only
Admin DELETE cascade abuse Still needs token ✅ (unchanged) Not covered

Local test signal (review env): API unit tests pass; SDK Vitest 21/21; web Vitest 13/13; one unrelated integration fixture flake (version_label=1.5 duplicate) — not introduced as a security regression by this MR. Full Playwright not re-run here.

Gap analysis (features / packages / quality)

Package Assessment
api/ Coherent: new auth.rs, fail-fast config, POST-only update_terms, XFF policy, /health
web/ Redirect sanitize at navigate; e2e setup authenticated
packages/cl8y-clickwrap Shared sanitizeRedirectUri; optional for headless integrators (documented)
scripts/, CI, README, skills/security-ops Aligned
bot/, contracts Untouched (correct)
Gas / DRY / readability Gas N/A; DRY improved (shared auth + redirect); Rust/TS patterns idiomatic

User/operator expectations still open (follow-ups): blocked-redirect messaging; /ready (DB) vs liveness-only /health; state round-trip on redirect (GAP #13); staging env confirmation (MR checklist).

Bottom line

Accept — closes the intended control-plane / open-redirect / XFF / default-token bundle for issue #3 with sound design and adequate automated coverage for deny paths. Please track the medium follow-ups (example-token denylist, world-CIDR guard, redirect e2e + sync happy-path test) as non-blocking hardening.
