Summary

Closes #1267.

Fix the reported site-command authorization issue and related gaps found during an audit of the application's 506 registered web/API routes and 31 policies. Preserve the existing OWNER/ADMIN/USER permission model and authorized cross-project workflows.

  • Authorize the actual command and enforce command/site/server relationships before execution.
  • Enforce nested-resource ownership for PHP services, databases and database users, cronjobs, workers, redirects, firewall rules, deployment scripts, site settings, and workflow runs.
  • Use WorkerPolicy consistently across worker API endpoints.
  • Enforce actor ownership and project compatibility when selecting source-control and backup providers; discard disabled source-control inputs and omit installation passwords from site responses.
  • Preserve the initiating API token's project scope through queued workflows, recheck its validity before actions, and send notifications only through the selected authorized channel.
  • Require destination-project write access and completed network removal before transferring servers.
  • Add regression tests for unauthorized access, absence of side effects, and valid owner/admin/session/token flows.

Verification

  • Full Pest suite: 2,600 tests passed, 8,004 assertions.
  • Changed executable application-line coverage: 129/132 (97.73%), calculated from the Cobertura report against the base diff.
  • PHPStan passed for all changed application PHP files.
  • PHP syntax checks and git diff --check passed.
  • Independent PHP/Laravel, security, and exhaustive standards/spec reviews passed with no blockers (49 files, 113 hunks).
  • SSH and HTTP were faked in tests; no live-infrastructure validation was performed. Existing local libcrypto warnings persisted without test failures.

Deployment notes

Restart queue workers after deployment. Workflows queued before this patch lack recoverable authentication context and intentionally fail closed; reinitiate them after deployment rather than executing them with unrestricted authority.

Server transfers now require all network memberships, including pending removal, to be removed before changing projects. No migrations or dependency changes are included.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Security & Access
    • Access checks now confirm that related projects, servers, sites and resources match, preventing actions on unrelated records.
    • Workflow runs validate the initiating access token and project permissions, including for queued jobs.
    • Backup storage and source-control selections are checked against the acting user’s access and project scope.
    • Server transfers are blocked while the server belongs to a network.
  • Privacy
    • Site responses no longer expose installation or database passwords.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Workflow run pages reject runs belonging to a different workflow.
    • Workflow notifications are sent through the selected notification channel.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request adds project, server, site, and resource-context checks across actions, policies, and controllers. It also validates access-token scope during workflow execution, checks storage and source-control selections, blocks some server transfers, and removes selected password fields from site responses.

Changes

Resource and route authorisation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Policy checks for resource scope
app/Policies/*, app/Traits/HasRolePolicies.php
Policies now check supplied server and site relationships for commands, cron jobs, databases, database users, notification channels, redirects, services, and workers. Project role checks also require the token to permit the project.
Route context before resource actions
app/Http/Controllers/API/FirewallRuleController.php, app/Http/Controllers/API/WorkerController.php, app/Http/Controllers/ApplicationController.php, app/Http/Controllers/CommandController.php, app/Http/Controllers/PHPController.php, app/Http/Controllers/SiteSettingController.php, app/Http/Controllers/Workflow/WorkflowRunController.php
Controller actions validate route relationships before authorising or acting on resources. Deployment-script updates check that the script belongs to the current site, and workflow run routes check that the run belongs to the requested workflow.
Route and policy boundary tests
tests/Feature/API/FirewallTest.php, tests/Feature/API/WorkersTest.php, tests/Feature/ApplicationTest.php, tests/Feature/CommandsTest.php, tests/Feature/DatabaseTest.php, tests/Feature/DatabaseUserTest.php, tests/Feature/PHPTest.php, tests/Feature/RedirectsTest.php, tests/Feature/SiteCronjobTest.php, tests/Feature/WorkersTest.php
Tests cover mismatched project, server, site, and resource contexts. They check response codes and, where applicable, verify that rejected requests do not mutate data or dispatch work.

Storage, source control, and server transfer

Layer / File(s) Summary
Actor-authorised source-control selection
app/Actions/Site/CreateSite.php, app/Actions/Site/UpdateSourceControl.php, app/Http/Controllers/API/SiteController.php, app/Http/Controllers/SiteController.php, app/Http/Controllers/SiteSettingController.php, app/Models/SourceControl.php, app/SiteTypes/Blank.php, app/WorkflowActions/Site/CreateSite.php, tests/Feature/API/SitesTest.php, tests/Feature/SitesTest.php
Site creation and source-control updates receive the acting user and authorise access to selected records. Source-control validation permits global or matching-project records. Blank-site creation removes source-control fields when source control is disabled.
Storage access and server transfer
app/Actions/Backup/ManageBackup.php, app/Http/Controllers/BackupController.php, app/Actions/Server/TransferServer.php, tests/Feature/BackupTest.php, tests/Feature/ServerTest.php
Backup creation checks actor access and limits storage providers to the server project or global providers. Server transfer checks destination-project access and rejects transfers to another project while a network membership exists.

Workflow and notification authorisation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Token-scoped workflow execution
app/Actions/Workflow/RunWorkflow.php, app/Jobs/Workflow/RunJob.php
Workflow execution validates a supplied token and the workflow update policy. Jobs pass the token ID into execution and restore token and queue-driver state after handling.
Workflow routes and channel access
app/Http/Controllers/Workflow/WorkflowRunController.php, app/Policies/NotificationChannelPolicy.php, app/WorkflowActions/General/Notify.php
Workflow run and log routes verify run ownership. Notification actions require channel update access and send through the channel provider.
Workflow token, route, and notification tests
tests/Feature/API/WorkflowRunTest.php, tests/Feature/Jobs/WorkflowRunJobTest.php, tests/Feature/WorkflowTest.php
Tests cover token validity and project scope during queued and nested execution, workflow-run ownership, and notification channel permissions and delivery.

Site response data

Layer / File(s) Summary
Password filtering and response contract
app/Http/Resources/SiteResource.php, public/api-docs/openapi/schemas/Site.yaml, tests/Feature/API/SitesTest.php, tests/Feature/SitesTest.php
Site responses remove installation and database passwords. API documentation describes omitted password metadata, and tests check response data and stored values.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 0d2c4

No actionable issue remains in this review. The PR is mergeable after normal checks and the documented queue-worker restart.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 0d2c4

The reviewed changes strengthen authorization without a confirmed newly introduced security issue. Workflow actions retain the initiating token’s restrictions, and server transfers gain destination-access and network-removal checks. Risk remains low rather than minimal because the wider route surface and deployment behavior were not fully verified.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — Reviewed workflow authority is bounded by the initiating account’s project roles and token project list. Unrestricted tokens retain the account’s existing project authority; they do not confer a new global administrative role. Privileged outcomes include workflow action execution, notification delivery, and server ownership changes.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Caller-supplied notification-channel IDs reach delivery only after checking channel ownership and token-compatible project write access. Delivery uses the selected channel’s provider rather than looking up a recipient from a supplied email address.
  • observed — The changed firewall edit path verifies project-to-server and rule-to-server relationships before policy authorization and mutation, rejecting mismatched nested resources.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Network teardown removes the membership row only after tunnel removal and firewall cleanup. Failure before row deletion therefore leaves the new transfer guard closed, containing ownership movement during incomplete cleanup.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Consider a shared server-level lock and project revalidation across network attachment and ownership transfer. This would make the no-membership transfer invariant atomic under concurrency; it addresses a pre-existing exposure, not an established regression.
  • proposed — Coordinate queue-worker replacement and rollback handling so pending workflow payloads are not consumed by older code lacking token revalidation. Treat worker-version alignment as a deployment prerequisite for the new authorization guarantee.

Explanation

The PR contains changes with no demonstrated connection to [#1267]. Examples include workflow token capture and revalidation, worker and cron-job route authorisation, storage-provider and source-control checks, server-transfer network rules, site password sanitisation, Ubuntu image and MariaDB validation, notification-channel changes, and database, PHP and redirect isolation. These changes address other security or validation behaviours, but [#1267] defines only the cross-project command execution requirement.

handler invocation inside the try/catch, route handler exceptions to the failure

Add an explicit return type and PHPDoc array shape to createFields().

The new method createFields(array $input): array has a return type. It has no PHPDoc for $input or the return value. Add @param array<string, mixed> $input and @return array<string, mixed> so that the PHPDoc matches the parent contract.

As per coding guidelines: "Use array shapes in PHPDoc where appropriate."
