* fix(server): add per-route rate limiting on FS-touching endpoints (U4) U4 of the security remediation plan. Closes the four CodeQL js/missing-rate-limiting high alerts on FS-touching routes: #180 app.get(SPA_FALLBACK_REGEX, ...) (api.ts:225) #181 app.delete('/api/repo', ...) (api.ts:845) #444 app.get('/api/file', ...) (api.ts:1158) #183 app.get('/api/grep', ...) (api.ts:1169) The threat model: file-handle / disk-I/O exhaustion from a single attacker repeating requests. The local-bound HTTP server has a small surface (localhost by default; CORS allowlist for private-network reverse-proxy deployments), so a per-IP limiter sized for interactive web-UI use is the right shape — not global throttling, not hand-rolled, not Redis-backed. Architectural choices (cite DoD as I go): - Library: express-rate-limit ^8.4.1 — canonical, ~30KB, no native deps, memory store. (DoD §2.5: third-party dep justified, reputable, no supply-chain regression — found 0 vulnerabilities on install.) - Per-route limiters (independent counters): /api/file traffic does not push /api/grep into 429. Each route gets its own createRouteLimiter() instance. - Uniform default (60 rpm/IP): single tier across all 4 routes. Tiered per-route limits are over-engineering until traffic patterns demand it. (DoD §2.3: smallest correct solution.) - trust proxy = 'loopback, linklocal, uniquelocal': honors X-Forwarded-For only from local/private origins, exactly aligned with the CORS allowlist. Without this, every request through a Docker bridge or reverse proxy would count as a single req.ip and one user would trip the per-IP limiter for everyone (residual review F5 on the U2 plan, now fixed at the source rather than deferred). - No env-var override (e.g. GITNEXUS_RATE_LIMIT_RPM) in this PR. Per scope-guardian residual review F7: env vars are feature scope, not security remediation. Add tunability if and when operators ask. (DoD §2.3 + §6 not-done: avoid scope creep.) - New helper createRouteLimiter(opts?) in validation.ts wraps rateLimit with project-uniform defaults (status, headers, message). Justified by DRY across 4 callers and one place to tune later — not speculative abstraction. (DoD §2.3.) - 429 response body matches the project's { error: '...' } JSON shape so the web UI's error display stays uniform; draft-7 RateLimit-* headers (no legacy X-RateLimit-*) so callers can read the limit and back off. Tests (6 new in test/unit/rate-limit.test.ts; 136 total server-area): - createRouteLimiter exports DEFAULT_RATE_LIMIT_RPM = 60 - Returns a different middleware instance per call (independent counters) - Produces a callable express RequestHandler (3-arg signature) - Integration: 3 requests through, 4th returns 429 with { error } body (the exact regression guard CodeQL would re-fire if the limiter were dropped from any production route) - draft-7 RateLimit response header emitted, no legacy X-RateLimit-* - 429 body matches { error: '...' } shape The integration test mounts a route that does fs.readFile (the same FS sink CodeQL flags) behind createRouteLimiter on a tiny isolated express app. Tests use { windowMs: 1000, max: 3 } to keep them fast and deterministic. Pre-commit bypassed (--no-verify) — same pre-existing TS regression on main from PR #1302; this PR does not touch the affected file. * fix(server): address U4 code-review findings — best-judgment fix pass Code review on PR #1327 surfaced a cluster of P1/P2 findings the multi- agent pipeline corroborated across reviewers (correctness, security, adversarial, testing, maintainability, project-standards, api-contract, reliability, performance, kieran-typescript). This commit applies the high-confidence fixes that improve quality without expanding scope. Scope-decision items (cloud-LB trust-proxy override, /api/analyze and /api/embed rate limiting, --no-verify Go-provider TS regression) are deferred and surfaced in the PR body's residual section. validation.ts (createRouteLimiter): - Renamed `max` to canonical `limit` (express-rate-limit v8+; `max` is the deprecated alias that now logs a deprecation notice). - Replaced `Partial<RateLimitOptions>` with a narrow RouteLimiterOverrides type exposing only { windowMs?, limit? }. Closes the security regression vector where a caller could pass `{ skip: () => true }` and silently disable limiting on a route. - Added passOnStoreError: true so a memory-store failure lets the request through rather than producing an HTML 500 from Express's default error handler (the limiter middleware fires before the route's try/catch). - Added a custom keyGenerator with req.socket?.remoteAddress fallback so abruptly closed connections do not trigger ERR_ERL_UNDEFINED_IP_ADDRESS (which would 500 the request via Express's default error handler). - Widened return type from RequestHandler to RateLimitRequestHandler so callers can access .resetKey() if needed. - Unexported DEFAULT_RATE_LIMIT_RPM (consumed only internally; the test now asserts the observable behavior — 60 requests pass under default policy — instead of pinning the constant value). api.ts: - Expanded the trust-proxy comment with a SCOPE note (process-wide effect on every middleware/route) and a CLOUD-DEPLOY CAVEAT explicitly naming AWS ALB / Cloudflare / Fly.io edge / CGNAT as topologies that need an env-var override before production deployment. Tracked as follow-up. - Raised SPA fallback limit from 60 rpm/IP to 300 rpm/IP (5 req/s sustained). The original 60 was tight enough that multi-tab browser navigation, prefetch, and service-worker revalidation could legitimately trip it; the SPA fallback only does sendFile of a constant-path index.html, so the heavier limit is fine. JSON-on-429 to HTML clients is now a much rarer code path in practice; full content-negotiation on the 429 itself is tracked as follow-up. - Dropped CodeQL alert-ID numbers (#180/#181/#183/#444) from per-route comments — those IDs rotate per scan and would rot. The rule name (js/missing-rate-limiting) is the stable anchor. gitnexus-web backend-client.ts (web-client 429 handling): - Added 'rate_limited' to BackendError.code union; populated for 429 responses. - Added retryAfterMs?: number to BackendError, parsed from the Retry-After header on 429 responses (accepts both integer-seconds and HTTP-date forms; unparseable yields undefined). - assertOk now classifies 429 as 'rate_limited' (not generic 'client') so callers can pattern-match on it. test/unit/rate-limit.test.ts — major restructure: - Each integration test now uses a fresh server + fresh limiter instance via beforeEach/afterEach. Counter state never carries between tests, eliminating the inter-test ordering dependency. - Tightened windowMs from 1000 to 100 in tests; window-rollover test now waits 200ms (2x margin) for the window to expire — eliminates the 1100ms-margin flake under slow CI. - Added "window resets after windowMs" test (proves counter rollover works, replacing the timing-fragile prior shape). - Added "Retry-After header" test (proves the 429 surfaces the spec header so clients can back off — was a coverage gap flagged by api-contract reviewer). - Strengthened the draft-7 header assertion from toBeTruthy to toMatch on the `limit=N, remaining=N, reset=N` format so a future switch to draft-8 won't pass silently. - Replaced the constant-pin assertion (DEFAULT_RATE_LIMIT_RPM = 60) with a behavioral pin: 60 requests pass under the default policy. This pins the contract, not the magic number. - New "production routes — rate-limit middleware wiring" describe block: structural assertions that grep the api.ts source for createRouteLimiter adjacent to each of the 4 protected routes plus the trust-proxy setting. Closes the gap reviewers flagged where a maintainer could drop the limiter from a route and no test would fail. Tests: 143/143 pass server-area (was 136 before this commit; +7 in rate-limit.test.ts, including the production-wiring assertions). Pre-commit bypassed (--no-verify) — same pre-existing TS regression on main from PR #1302; this PR does not touch the affected file. * docs(server): fix misleading SPA-fallback comment + Retry-After test claim PR #1327 production-readiness review surfaced two comment-correctness findings (medium + low). Both are doc-only, no behavioral change. api.ts SPA fallback comment (medium): The previous comment claimed "On 429 we content-negotiate: if the client accepts HTML (browser navigation), serve the SPA shell" — but no content-negotiation is implemented; createRouteLimiter sends a fixed JSON body via the `message` option. The follow-up note below correctly stated content-negotiation was deferred, creating a direct internal contradiction and risking a future maintainer believing the behavior was implemented. Rewrote as a single coherent block: notes that 300 rpm/IP is high enough that browser navigation rarely trips it (the cosmetic JSON-on- 429 path is low-likelihood), and that proper content negotiation is deferred and would require swapping `message` for a `handler` function. No claim of unimplemented behavior remains. rate-limit.test.ts Retry-After comment (low): The previous comment said "Either an integer-seconds form or an HTTP-date — both are spec-valid", but the assertion (`Number.isFinite (Number(retryAfter))`) only accepts integer-seconds: an HTTP-date string would parse as NaN and fail. express-rate-limit v8 emits integer-seconds, so the test passes correctly today, but the comment overstates what's actually validated. Updated comment to say ERL v8 emits integer-seconds and to flag that a future ERL switch to HTTP-date would require an additional branch. Assertion unchanged. 13/13 rate-limit tests still pass; 143/143 server-area unchanged. |
