Walkthrough

This change adds configurable application authorities, authority lookup and management APIs, and annotation-based authorization across service and web operations. It also adds request-origin propagation, updates task authorization types, and changes user-edit and email lookup behavior.

Changes

Authority management and authorization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Authority contracts and management
nae-object-library/..., nae-user-common/..., nae-user-ce/..., application-engine/..., docs/authorization/authority.md
Adds authority definitions, configurable defaults, scope resolution, startup creation, service methods, REST endpoints, and authority-focused tests and fixtures.
Authorization enforcement and execution context
nae-user-ce/..., application-engine/..., nae-spring-core-adapter/...
Adds @Authorize evaluation for request calls, propagates origin and security context to asynchronous tasks, and applies operation-specific authorization to user, group, process, workflow, task, session, and Elasticsearch operations.
User changes and validation
application-engine/.../ActionDelegate.groovy, nae-user-common/.../UserService.java, nae-user-ce/.../UserServiceImpl.java, application-engine/src/test/...
Adds authority operations to ActionDelegate, maps user fields to firstName and lastName, looks up users by email, adds user-edit authorization, and adds service-method integration fixtures and tests.

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to f1c58

The new annotation-based authorization has gaps. Some public user, role, and group operations can bypass the new checks. Ordinary task and case operations, such as assigning a task without an explicit user or creating a case by identifier, can fail authorization. Ownership checks rely on usernames that can repeat across realms. Resolve these before merging.

Security architecture risk: 🟠 High · up to 9ee08

Authorization decisions can share request data across concurrent calls, potentially applying one caller’s permission check to another operation. The new authorization contract also advertises protection that is not fully enforced, while authority catalogue reads lack privilege-specific checks. These changes affect protected operations rather than isolated implementation details.

Retained concerns

  • High · security · inferred: The new singleton evaluator writes invocation arguments into one shared context and evaluates them afterward without cleanup. Concurrent requests can therefore use another invocation’s identity or resource variables while the protected handler retains its original arguments. This weakens the authorization-decision-to-operation binding for migrated expression-bearing endpoints.
  • Medium · security · observed: The new authorization annotations permit type-level declarations, but the evaluator only intercepts method annotations. A consumer relying solely on a class declaration receives no corresponding gate. Inspected migrated callers use method annotations, so this is an introduced contract mismatch rather than a demonstrated type-only endpoint exploit.
  • Medium · security · observed: The added authority GET routes expose IDs and names from the global catalogue without authority-specific or realm-specific filtering. Central HTTP authentication is an important control, but ordinary authenticated callers need no additional privilege to enumerate this metadata. Deployment-specific anonymous exposure is unresolved.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The shared expression context creates a cross-invocation boundary within an application instance, rather than containing authorization data to one caller. Concrete expression-bearing callers include public task operations and process deletion. The proven scope is the shared decision mechanism and these callers; downstream service rechecks and complete tenant impact were not established.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — A concurrent request can overwrite a resource or identity variable after another request populates the context but before its expression is evaluated. A passing decision can then gate the original handler arguments rather than the arguments actually checked. This supports the retained authorization-bypass finding without claiming an observed production exploit.
  • observed — The retained catalogue-disclosure finding concerns newly added reads of authority IDs and names, including all-authority and prefix-scope queries. The inspected HTTP configuration provides an authentication fallback, so absence of method gates alone does not prove anonymous disclosure.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Authority checks obtain the logged user independently of expression variables and require all authorities listed within an entry. Failed authorization throws AccessDeniedException, and caught evaluation failures return false. These controls constrain authority-only operations but do not isolate invocation arguments used by expressions.
  • observed — The retained annotation-scope finding reflects a declared TYPE contract without matching type-level interception. Inspected migrated endpoints use method declarations, which is the strongest counterevidence against claiming a current type-only endpoint bypass.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Authority creation uses transactional find-then-save, giving sequential repetition an existing-name result. Deletion treats missing names as success and deletes only the catalogue document in the inspected path. Concurrent uniqueness, dependent-grant cleanup, cache invalidation, and recovery semantics remain unproven, so catalogue deletion cannot be asserted to revoke effective grants.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Make expression evaluation state invocation-local and keep the declared annotation scope aligned with effective interception. Validate concurrent calls and every completion or failure path against the decision-to-operation binding.
  • proposed — Define an explicit catalogue-read policy and authority-deletion contract. If deletion is intended to revoke grants, coordinate dependent assignments and caches with interruption-safe recovery; otherwise document catalogue deletion separately from revocation.

@application-engine/src/main/java/com/netgrif/application/engine/auth/web/AuthorityController.java:
- Line 47: Remove the consumes constraint from the bodiless GET and DELETE
handler mappings in AuthorityController, including the delete/{name} mapping and
the other indicated mappings, so requests without a Content-Type header are
accepted. Keep consumes on mappings that read a request body.
- Around line 74-100: Add the required ADMIN authorization to
AuthorityController’s getAll, getOne, and getAllByScope endpoints. In getOne and
create, return a not-found response when the authority is missing instead of
returning null. Update the three read endpoints’ @Operation descriptions to
describe retrieving authorities rather than deleting them.

Review comments at
@application-engine/src/main/java/com/netgrif/application/engine/petrinet/web/PetriNetController.java:
- Around line 128-135: The getAll endpoint requires PROCESS_VIEW, but newly
created non-admin users receive only USER. Configure PROCESS_VIEW as a default
user authority, ensure the user-creation authority assignment applies that
default, and backfill existing users so they can access the endpoint.

Review comments at @docs/authorization/authority.md:
- Around line 280-298: Update the REST endpoint documentation to match
AuthorityController: state that only create and delete are annotated with
@Authorize, remove AUTHORITY_GET_ALL and AUTHORITY_VIEW as required authorities,
and document ADMIN as an alternative for create and delete. Keep the table and
surrounding note consistent with the controller’s actual authorization behavior.
- Around line 105-142: Update the property keys in the custom-authority and
default-authority examples to use the `netgrif.engine.authority` prefix,
`additional-authorizing-objects` for custom objects, and kebab-case
default-authority names. Replace `AuthorityProperties` with
`AuthorityConfigurationProperties` in the explanatory text.

Review comments at
@nae-user-ce/src/main/java/com/netgrif/application/engine/auth/service/BaseAuthorizationServiceAspect.java:
- Around line 44-51: Create a new StandardEvaluationContext inside each
isAllowedByExpression call instead of sharing the evaluationContext field, so
request arguments and variables cannot leak across concurrent or later checks.
Keep the BeanFactoryResolver reusable as a field and attach it to each new
context.
- Line 59: Update both authorization advice pointcuts in
BaseAuthorizationServiceAspect to match type-level annotations as well as
method-level annotations, adding the corresponding @within match for each
existing @annotation match. Preserve the current advice behavior and parameter
bindings.

🔒 Security & Privacy | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Enforce the task policy on bulk entrypoints. assignTasks, finishTasks, and cancelTasks call their annotated single-task methods from within TaskService. With Spring proxy-based AOP, these calls do not invoke the authorization advice. A caller of a bulk method can therefore perform the task operation without the newly added service check. Apply the policy at each bulk entrypoint or call an advised collaborator. (docs.spring.io)

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Resolve the task user before the authorization expression runs. ActionDelegate.addTaskOutcomes calls the injected TaskService.assignTask with new TaskParams(task.stringId) and no user. The new expression passes that null user to canCallAssign, which calls loggedUser.isAdmin() before fillAndValidateAttributes can supply a user. The same ordering affects the new finish and cancel expressions. Resolve the acting user at the entrypoint before policy evaluation, and keep that user distinct from a requested assignee.

Use the delegator field in the delegation policy.

DelegateTaskParams has no user field. Lombok therefore does not generate getUser(). The annotation can fail while evaluating the authorization expression, before delegateTask validates the request. Pass the validated delegator instead.

Resolve the effective process before authorization.

For non-admin users, createCase authorizes with getProcessId() before fillAndValidateAttributes resolves processIdentifier or an existing process. Those supported inputs pass null to canCallCreate, which calls petriNetService.getPetriNet(null) and then repository.findById(null). The authorization can therefore fail before case creation.

Make canCallCreate authorize the effective process from all supported CreateCaseParams forms instead of using only processId.

Update the `canCallCreate` authorization flow used by `createCase` to resolve
the effective process from every supported `CreateCaseParams` form, including
`processIdentifier` and an existing process, rather than relying only on
`getProcessId()`. Ensure authorization uses the resolved process before case
creation proceeds.

Use ID and realm for own-resource authorization. These expressions treat a matching username as proof that two users are the same. Realm-specific user collections permit the same username to identify different users. Compare authenticated and target IDs and realms instead.

Protect the group overloads that callers enter. create(AbstractUser), the addUser and removeUser overloads, and the ID-based addSubgroup overloads call these annotated methods on the same GroupServiceImpl instance. Spring proxy advice does not run on those internal calls, so a caller can use an unannotated overload without the new authority check. Authorize the external entrypoints or move the protected operation to an advised collaborator. (docs.spring.io)

Authorize the string-argument user-creation entrypoint. createUser(String username, String email, …) calls the newly annotated createUser(AbstractUser, String) on the same instance. Spring proxy advice does not intercept that internal call. A caller entering through the string-argument overload can therefore create a user without the new ADMIN or USER_CREATE check. Place the check on the public entrypoint or move creation behind an advised collaborator. (docs.spring.io)

Protect the public role entrypoints. ActionDelegate.assignRole calls addRole(AbstractUser, String), which delegates to the newly annotated overload through this. The ID-based removal overloads likewise delegate to annotated removal methods. Spring proxy advice does not run on those internal calls, so these entrypoints can change roles without the new service-level check. Put the authorization check on each externally callable entrypoint or move the mutation behind an advised collaborator. This is the same annotation-placement pattern previously reported for createUser, but it affects distinct role operations. (docs.spring.io)
