Summary

create_task no longer binds a caller-supplied repo_id verbatim. A repo_id naming a hosted, non-quarantined repo is accepted only from that repo's owner; anything else keeps the previous behavior.

Motivation & context

Closes #496

Any signed caller could plant a task — payload and UCAN included — under a repo id it does not own. Once task reads are repo-gated (#464), such an injected task surfaces exactly to that repo's readers and is claimable by the named assignee, so the write side has to verify ownership of the supplied repo_id.

Kind of change

  • Security fix

What changed

  • gitlawb-node (api/tasks.rs, graphql/mutation.rs): REST POST /api/v1/tasks and GraphQL createTask resolve a supplied repo_id via get_repo_by_id and require require_repo_owner (403 otherwise). Quarantined ids are treated as unknown — 403ing them would confirm a real id — and unknown ids stay oracle-free opaque labels (unscoped under the Unauthenticated task reads expose agent-task UCAN tokens, payloads, and private-repo IDs on both GraphQL and REST #268/fix(node)!: Gate agent-task reads behind visibility rules #464 read contract, which fails closed on ids that resolve to no hosted repo). Repo-less creation is unaffected.
  • gitlawb-node (api/mod.rs): pinned the new gate with a require_repo_owner( row for create_task in the authz_guard drift test, alongside the existing signer-binding row.
  • Tests: REST deny/allow matrix (non-owner 403 with no repo details in the body, owner 201, repo-less 201, unknown id 201, quarantined id 201) and the GraphQL counterpart.

How a reviewer can verify

cargo test -p gitlawb-node create_task
cargo test -p gitlawb-node authz_guard
cargo test --workspace
cargo fmt --all -- --check
cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings

All green locally against the compose Postgres.

Before you request review

  • Scope is one logical change; no unrelated churn
  • cargo test --workspace passes locally
  • New behavior is covered by tests (required for fixes)
  • cargo fmt --all and cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings are clean
  • Commit titles use Conventional Commits (feat(...), fix(...), docs(...))
  • Docs / .env.example updated if behavior or config changed (or N/A — no config change)
  • Checked existing PRs so this isn't a duplicate (fix(node)!: Gate agent-task reads behind visibility rules #464 gates reads; this gates the write side)

Notes for reviewers

assignee_did is intentionally still taken verbatim — it is the delegation target and is bound to the signer at claim time on both surfaces. The gate choice is owner-only rather than read-gated (unlike create_bounty): tasks are executable work orders carrying payload+UCAN, and a read gate would leave injection into public repos wide open.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Task creation linked to an existing, non-quarantined hosted repository is limited to that repository’s owner in the API and GraphQL.
    • Non-owner requests receive a forbidden response that does not reveal repository or owner details, and no task is created.
    • Tasks without a repository ID, or with an unknown or quarantined repository ID, remain accepted.
    • Repository lookup or quarantine-check failures return an opaque database error response without exposing implementation details.

Walkthrough

REST and GraphQL create_task now check ownership when a supplied repository ID resolves to a non-quarantined repository. Unknown and quarantined IDs bypass the ownership check. Database errors use opaque error responses. Tests cover authorization outcomes and error privacy.

Merge Risk: Low · previous review be55f

This PR correctly restricts task creation against hosted repositories to their owners. The task-list endpoints are still publicly readable and unfiltered, and that predates this change. The new code comment wrongly implies those tasks are restricted to the delegator or assignee. Fix the comment or schedule read-side filtering separately; this should not block the owner-check change.

Security architecture risk: Low · up to abc03

The ownership check blocks ordinary unauthorized task creation against hosted repositories. However, different success and denial responses let a signed non-owner confirm that a known private repository ID is hosted. The disclosure is limited to repository presence, and existing lifecycle limitations are not introduced by this change.

Retained concerns

  • Low · security · observed: A signed non-owner supplying a private repository ID receives a denial when that ID names an active hosted repository, but success when it is unknown or quarantined. Before this PR, both cases were accepted. This confirms hosting presence even for repositories without existing task rows. It requires a candidate ID and discloses neither repository contents nor owner details; existing task-ID exposure and UUID-based repository creation limit, but do not eliminate, the incremental disclosure.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The introduced disclosure is independently probeable for candidate IDs across the node's active hosted repositories by a signed non-owner. Its demonstrated outcome is hosting-presence confirmation, not access to repository contents or additional execution authority.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — GraphQL HTTP requests receive identity through optional signature verification and server-side context injection; createTask requires that identity and rejects a mismatched delegator. REST writes use signature and UCAN middleware. Both paths compare the authenticated caller with repository ownership before insertion.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Validation and insertion are separate operations, and task rows retain no authorization provenance. Previously accepted opaque labels can later match hosted mirror IDs. A quarantine-update helper exists, but its production release endpoint is deferred. These lifecycle limitations predate the gate and are not demonstrated PR regressions.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Define the hosting-presence confidentiality contract explicitly. If presence must remain private, design indistinguishable externally visible outcomes for hidden hosted IDs and unknown labels while preserving unauthorized-write rejection.
  • proposed — For future lifecycle hardening, distinguish opaque task labels from authorized repository associations and define authorization at repository admission or quarantine release, rather than allowing a label's meaning to change implicitly.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #496 asks for authorization before accepting a caller-supplied repo_id. The REST create_task handler and GraphQL createTask resolve the ID and require the repository owner for hosted, non-quarantined repositories. They preserve repo-less, unknown-ID, and quarantined-ID creation. Tests cover owner success, foreign-owner rejection without persistence, preserved cases, and database faults. The authz_guard test also checks the new gate.

Verified the gate end to end on this head. Built the tree, ran the create_task suite green, then removed the new check in a scratch tree and watched the stranger case go red (201 instead of 403); did the same for the quarantine arm and for the GraphQL copy. Both surfaces deny a non-owner naming a hosted repo and keep unknown, quarantined, and absent ids accepted, matching the contract in the comments.

One scope note, not an ask: the read side that gives this teeth (task_visible and friends) lives in #464, still open. I checked that diff: it resolves task.repo_id against repos.id, the same keyspace get_repo_by_id matches, and it dead-ends slash-form mirror ids, so this gate lands cleanly when that ships. On today's main a planted task's repo_id is still just a label.

Findings

  • [P2] Return an opaque body from the new repo-lookup failure arms
    crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/tasks.rs:119
    Both new map_err arms serialize e.to_string() into the 500 JSON body. The GraphQL half of this same PR opaques the identical failures through graphql_db_err, and the repo already has the fixed envelope for this: {"error":"db_error","message":DB_ERROR_MESSAGE} (error.rs, used by api/events.rs). The file's older arms do the same thing, so this ask covers only the two lines this PR adds: log the real error with tracing and return the fixed shape.

  • [P3] Assert the denied write did not persist
    crates/gitlawb-node/src/test_support.rs:633
    I moved the gate below db.create_task and every test stayed green while the stranger's task landed in the table under the victim's repo id. A denial that still writes is exactly what this change exists to prevent. After the 403 arm, read the task store back and assert no row carries that repo_id; same for the GraphQL test.

  • [P3] Pin the quarantined and unknown-id arms on the GraphQL copy too
    crates/gitlawb-node/src/graphql/mutation.rs:54
    The gate is a second copy, not a shared helper. I dropped !quarantined on the GraphQL side and all four tests stayed green, so that copy can regress silently. Either cover the quarantined/unknown arms in the GraphQL test or factor the check into one helper both surfaces call.

  • [P3] Correct the no-existence-oracle comment
    crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/tasks.rs:109
    The comment claims "no existence oracle either way", but the 403-vs-201 split between a hosted non-quarantined repo id and an unknown id is itself an oracle: a stranger holding a private repo's id learns it is hosted here. The behavior is defensible (denying foreign repos requires distinguishing them, and repo ids already leak via the open task list on this base); the comment should describe the split honestly rather than claim it away.

Not an ask, recorded only: a task filed under a quarantined repo id still stores that id verbatim, so if a quarantined row is ever released the label binds to a live repo without ever passing the owner check. No release path ships today (set_repo_quarantine has only test callers), so this is forward-looking rather than a defect.

One process note, not a finding: the cargo audit failure is advisories against lru, core2, and spin in the shared lockfile, unrelated to this diff, which touches no Cargo files. Nothing for you to do there.

Re-verified the gate end to end on abc03d6. Built the tree, ran the create_task tests and the authz_guard drift suite green, then re-ran each arm from last round plus the new pins: removing the owner check turns the stranger case red (201 instead of 403) and trips the new require_repo_owner( guard row; dropping !quarantined reddens the quarantine arm on both copies now, and moving the gate below db.create_task reddens the new no-persist assertion while the 403 itself still fires. All four asks landed in substance.

Findings

  • [P3] Carry the corrected oracle wording into the GraphQL comment and the test docstring
    crates/gitlawb-node/src/graphql/mutation.rs:42
    The REST comment now calls the 403-vs-201 split a one-bit oracle, but the GraphQL gate's comment still says "oracle-free opaque labels" and the REST test's docstring (test_support.rs:596) does too. The ask was to stop claiming the oracle away; two of the three sites still claim it.

  • [P3] Pin the new db_error arm with a fault injection
    crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/tasks.rs:134
    The helper's docstring says the real error is never serialized, but nothing faults the repo lookups: I reverted the body to {"error": e.to_string()} and cargo test -p gitlawb-node stayed green, 1090/0. The same file's create_task_db_error_message_is_opaque already shows the shape on the GraphQL side (drop a column, assert the fixed envelope); dropping machine_id faults get_repo_by_id and dropping quarantined faults is_repo_quarantined. One such test per surface holds the property.

  • [P3] Give the two gate copies the same denial text
    crates/gitlawb-node/src/graphql/mutation.rs:55
    The REST copy denies with "only the repo owner can file tasks against it" while the GraphQL copy relays require_repo_owner's "only the repo owner can perform this action." Two copies of one gate already disagree in observable output. Pick one string for both.

Not an ask, recorded only: a task filed under a repo id that resolves to nothing still stores the label verbatim, so it binds to any repo admitted under that id later. The only predictable id form is the slash-form mirror id, which the read gate in #464 dead-ends at both visibility and claim time, and canonical repo ids are server-minted, so the bind stays inert. Worth a sentence in #464's contract notes when it lands; nothing to change here.

One process note, not a finding: cargo audit still fails on shared-lockfile advisories (lru, core2, spin); this diff touches no Cargo files. Nothing for you to do there.

…t, honest oracle wording, db-fault pins

- Give the REST and GraphQL copies of the create_task owner gate one denial
  sentence: add REPO_OWNER_ONLY_MESSAGE, used by require_repo_owner and the
  REST forbidden() envelope, and pin it from both surface tests.
- Carry the corrected one-bit-oracle wording into the GraphQL gate comment and
  the REST test docstring (drop the "oracle-free" claim).
- Fault-inject the gate's repo lookups: drop machine_id (get_repo_by_id) for
  REST and GraphQL, and quarantined (is_repo_quarantined) for REST, asserting
  the fixed opaque db_error envelope and no schema text.

Do not describe unknown or quarantined task IDs as delegator/assignee-only.

The REST task-list route is open, and the GraphQL tasks resolver passes caller-independent filters to Db::list_tasks. The unfiltered query returns every task and includes ucan_token and payload. The create paths still accept unknown and quarantined repo_id values, so those tasks can be returned to callers other than the delegator or assignee.

This read behavior predates PR #497. If the PR relies on these IDs being safely unscoped, add caller-based filtering to both read paths and pass the caller identity into the database query. Otherwise, remove or rewrite this comment so it does not claim an enforced read contract.

…te comments

The create_task gate is a write gate. Unknown/quarantined repo ids are stored
verbatim, and the REST/GraphQL task-list paths are caller-independent on this
base, so the comments must not imply those ids are read-scoped to the
delegator/assignee. Describe only the enforced ownership check; note the
one-bit oracle split without asserting a read contract.

Re-verified the gate end to end on 37764c7. cargo test -p gitlawb-node is 1093/0 including the new deny/allow matrix and all three fault-injection tests, and authz_guard is green. I re-ran each arm from last round plus the new pins: removing the owner check turns the stranger case red (201 instead of 403) and trips the require_repo_owner( guard row; dropping !quarantined reddens the quarantine arm; moving the gate below db.create_task reddens the no-persist assert; serializing the raw error through db_error leaks column "machine_id" does not exist and reddens both REST fault tests, and the same swap on the GraphQL copy reddens its fault test; drifting the REST denial text reddens the shared-message assert. All three asks from last round landed, and the task-read comment now matches the open read routes.

Findings

  • [P3] Match the 503 db_unavailable split in the gate's db_error helper
    crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/tasks.rs:36
    The docstring says the helper matches the envelope AppError::Db renders, but it returns 500 unconditionally while AppError::Db sends pool-class failures (PoolTimedOut/PoolClosed/Io/Tls) to 503 db_unavailable (error.rs:95, :186). A transient outage on either new lookup now reads as a permanent failure to clients that key on that code. The predicate is private to error.rs; making it pub(crate) and matching on it in the helper is the small fix.

  • [P3] Route the create_task INSERT failure through the same helper
    crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/tasks.rs:168
    The two new gate lookups are opaque, but the db.create_task INSERT below them still serializes e.to_string() into the 500 body, the same leak class the new fault tests pin the gate against. One line: .map_err(db_error)?. This shape predates the PR (six sibling handlers share it and stay out of scope); the ask covers only the handler being hardened.

  • [P3] Pin the stored-verbatim claim with a read-back, and drop the no-leak asserts the fixed envelope cannot carry
    crates/gitlawb-node/src/test_support.rs:657
    Two changes in the new deny/allow test. First: the docstring claims unknown and quarantined ids are stored verbatim as opaque labels, but those arms assert only the 201 status, so a stored-but-wrong repo_id stays green. Read back the task (the no-persist arm already calls list_tasks) and assert the stored row carries the supplied id. Second: the !text.contains(&repo.id) && !text.contains(owner) asserts sit on a fixed forbidden envelope that cannot carry either value at any gate state, and the same ids are served to anyone by the open task list. Drop them or reword them to what they actually pin.

Not an ask, recorded only: last round's note about a verbatim repo_id binding to a repo admitted later stands and is now verified against the read-gate work: its visibility and claim checks both fail closed on slash-form ids, and canonical repo ids are server-minted, so no predictable id form can be squatted. The two-lookup check-then-act window is the same class.

One process note, not a finding: cargo audit still fails on the shared-lockfile advisories and this diff touches no Cargo files, same as last round. Nothing for you to do there.
