## E2E Security Enforcement Failures Remediation Plan (2 Remaining)
|
||
|
||
**Context**
|
||
- Branch: `feature/beta-release`
|
||
- Source: [docs/reports/qa_report.md](../reports/qa_report.md)
|
||
- Failures: `/api/v1/users` setup socket hang up (Security Dashboard navigation), Emergency token baseline blocking (Test 1)
|
||
|
||
## Phase 1 – Analyze (Root Cause Mapping)
|
||
|
||
### Failure A: `/api/v1/users` setup socket hang up (Security Dashboard navigation)
|
||
**Symptoms**
|
||
- `apiRequestContext.post` socket hang up during test setup user creation in:
|
||
- `tests/security/security-dashboard.spec.ts` (navigation suite)
|
||
|
||
**Likely Backend Cause**
|
||
- Test setup creates an admin user via `POST /api/v1/users`, which is routed through Cerberus middleware before auth.
|
||
- If ACL is enabled and the test runner IP is not in `security.admin_whitelist`, Cerberus will block all requests when no active ACLs exist.
|
||
- This block can present as a socket hang up when the proxy closes the connection before Playwright reads the response.
|
||
|
||
**Backend Evidence**
|
||
- Cerberus middleware executes on all `/api/v1/*` routes: [backend/internal/api/routes/routes.go](../../backend/internal/api/routes/routes.go)
|
||
- `api.Use(cerb.Middleware())` and `protected.POST("/users", userHandler.CreateUser)`
|
||
- ACL default-deny behavior and whitelist bypass: [backend/internal/cerberus/cerberus.go](../../backend/internal/cerberus/cerberus.go)
|
||
- `Cerberus.Middleware` and `isAdminWhitelisted`
|
||
- User creation handler expects admin role after auth: [backend/internal/api/handlers/user_handler.go](../../backend/internal/api/handlers/user_handler.go)
|
||
- `UserHandler.CreateUser`
|
||
|
||
**Fix Options (Backend)**
|
||
1. Ensure ACL cannot block authenticated admin setup calls by moving Cerberus after auth for protected routes (so role can be evaluated).
|
||
2. Add an explicit Cerberus bypass for `/api/v1/users` setup in test/dev mode when the request has a valid admin session.
|
||
3. Require at least one allow/deny list entry before enabling ACL, and return a clear 4xx error instead of terminating the connection.
|
||
|
||
### Failure B: Emergency token baseline not blocked (Test 1)
|
||
**Symptoms**
|
||
- Expected 403 from `/api/v1/security/status`, received 200 in:
|
||
- `tests/security-enforcement/emergency-token.spec.ts` (Test 1)
|
||
|
||
**Likely Backend Cause**
|
||
- ACL is enabled via `/api/v1/settings`, but Cerberus treats the request IP as whitelisted (e.g., `127.0.0.1/32`) and skips ACL enforcement.
|
||
- The whitelist is stored in `SecurityConfig` and can persist from prior tests, causing ACL bypass for authenticated requests even without the emergency token.
|
||
|
||
**Backend Evidence**
|
||
- Admin whitelist bypass check: [backend/internal/cerberus/cerberus.go](../../backend/internal/cerberus/cerberus.go)
|
||
- `isAdminWhitelisted`
|
||
- Security config persistence: [backend/internal/models/security_config.go](../../backend/internal/models/security_config.go)
|
||
- ACL enablement via settings: [backend/internal/api/handlers/settings_handler.go](../../backend/internal/api/handlers/settings_handler.go)
|
||
- `SettingsHandler.UpdateSetting` auto-enables `feature.cerberus.enabled`
|
||
|
||
**Fix Options (Backend)**
|
||
1. Make ACL bypass conditional on authenticated admin context by applying Cerberus after auth on protected routes.
|
||
2. Clear or override `security.admin_whitelist` when enabling ACL in test runs where the baseline must be blocked.
|
||
3. Add a dedicated ACL enforcement endpoint or status check that is not exempted by admin whitelist.
|
||
|
||
## Phase 2 – Focused Remediation Plan (No Code Changes Yet)
|
||
|
||
### Plan A: Diagnose `/api/v1/users` socket hang up
|
||
1. Confirm ACL and admin whitelist values immediately before test setup user creation.
|
||
2. Check server logs for Cerberus ACL blocks or upstream connection resets during `POST /api/v1/users`.
|
||
3. Validate that the request is authenticated and that Cerberus is not terminating the request before auth runs.
|
||
|
||
**Acceptance Criteria**
|
||
- `POST /api/v1/users` consistently returns a 2xx or a structured 4xx, not a socket hang up.
|
||
|
||
### Plan B: Emergency token baseline enforcement
|
||
1. Verify `security.admin_whitelist` contents before Test 1; ensure the test IP is not whitelisted.
|
||
2. Confirm `security.acl.enabled` and `feature.cerberus.enabled` are both `true` after the setup PATCH.
|
||
3. Re-run the baseline `/api/v1/security/status` request and verify 403 before applying the emergency token.
|
||
|
||
**Acceptance Criteria**
|
||
- Baseline `/api/v1/security/status` returns 403 when ACL + Cerberus are enabled.
|
||
- Emergency token bypass returns 200 for the same endpoint.
|
||
|
||
## Phase 3 – Validation Plan
|
||
|
||
1. Re-run Chromium E2E suite.
|
||
2. Verify the two failing tests pass.
|
||
3. Capture updated results and include status evidence in QA report.
|
||
|
||
## Risks & Notes
|
||
|
||
- If `security.admin_whitelist` persists across suites, ACL baseline assertions will be bypassed.
|
||
- If Cerberus runs before auth, ACL cannot distinguish authenticated admin setup calls from unauthenticated setup calls.
|
||
|
||
## Next Steps
|
||
|
||
- Execute the focused remediation steps above.
|
||
- Re-run E2E tests and update [docs/reports/qa_report.md](../reports/qa_report.md).
