Graham McIntire 095c5d3236 fix: M1 — prevent cross-org resource existence probing via scoped fetch
Use Repo.get_by(schema, id: id, organization_id: organization_id) instead of
Repo.get + pattern match so that resources from wrong orgs return :not_found
instead of :forbidden, preventing org membership discovery.

# Code Review Findings
> Full codebase audit conducted 2026-05-12. Covers OWASP Top 10, performance, reliability, and correctness issues across the entire TowerOps Web application.
---
## HIGH
### H7. Unauthenticated Webhook Endpoints
**File:** `lib/towerops/router.ex:232-239`
**Severity:** HIGH — Webhook endpoints protected only by per-org secret, no router-level auth
**Description:** Gaiia, PagerDuty, and MikroTik webhooks use the `:api` pipeline which only has `plug :accepts, ["json"]` — no authentication. Auth is delegated entirely to each controller.
**Fix:** Add webhook auth plug at pipeline level.
---
### H9. CSP `img-src https:` Wildcard
**File:** `lib/towerops_web/plugs/security_headers.ex:38`
**Severity:** HIGH — Broad data exfiltration vector via any XSS
**Description:** `https:` for img-src allows images from any HTTPS origin. Combined with any XSS, an attacker can exfiltrate data via image request URLs.
**Fix:** Restrict to specific domains.
---
### H11. Hardcoded Session Salts (8 bytes)
**File:** `lib/towerops_web/endpoint.ex:11-12`
**File:** `config/config.exs:135`
**Severity:** HIGH — Weak entropy for cookie signing; identical across all environments
**Description:** `signing_salt: "hrDZxLhd"` and `encryption_salt: "vK3p8mNx"` are hardcoded 8-byte salts. Phoenix recommends 16+ bytes. Also baked into source code — can't rotate without deploy.
**Fix:** Load from env vars, increase to 16+ bytes.
---
### H24. WeatherSyncWorker Never Starts
**File:** `lib/towerops/workers/weather_sync_worker.ex`
**Severity:** HIGH — Weather data never fetched (dead code path)
**Description:** Worker self-schedules at end of each run via `schedule_next/0`, but no initial trigger exists in any cron config. First run never occurs.
**Fix:** Add to Oban cron schedule or trigger at application startup.
---
## MEDIUM
### M4. Stripe Webhook Signature Not Enforced at Plug Level
**File:** `lib/towerops_web/router.ex:144-148`
**Severity:** MEDIUM — Any future controller could forget to verify
**Description:** Stripe webhook verification is deferred entirely to the controller with no router-level enforcement.
**Fix:** Create a dedicated Stripe webhook auth plug.
---
### M5. Rate Limiting Keyed Only by IP
**File:** `lib/towerops_web/plugs/rate_limit.ex:57`
**Severity:** MEDIUM — NAT'd users share budget; IP-rotation bypasses limits
**Description:** Rate limit key is `"#{type}:#{remote_ip}"` with no user/token component. Users behind NAT share a single budget. Attackers with large IP pools bypass limits entirely.
**Fix:** Include `current_user.id` or token ID in the key: `"#{type}:#{user_id}:#{remote_ip}"`.
---
### M19. Missing Validation on Multiple Protobuf Decode Paths
**File:** `lib/towerops/proto/decode.ex` (multiple decode functions)
**Severity:** MEDIUM — No validation on `decode_mikrotik_device`, `decode_mikrotik_command`, `decode_check`, `decode_snmp_query`, `decode_sensor`, `decode_interface`
**Description:** Several decode functions have zero validation (no `validate_string` calls, no field-length checks).
**Fix:** Add validation consistent with existing validated decode paths.
---
### M20. MIB Upload — Hard Links Not Checked in Archive Extraction
**File:** `lib/towerops_web/controllers/api/v1/mib_controller.ex:453-458`
**Severity:** MEDIUM — Hard-linked files in archive could overwrite system files
**Description:** `check_no_symlinks` only checks symlinks. Hard links, device nodes, and fifos are not inspected.
**Fix:** Add `check_no_hardlinks(paths)` and `check_no_special_files(paths)` using `File.stat`.
---
### M21. ETS Rate Limit Table Is Public
**File:** `lib/towerops/rate_limit.ex:156-164`
**Severity:** MEDIUM — Any Erlang/Elixir process can manipulate rate limit counters
**Description:** `:ets.new(table, [:named_table, :set, :public, ...])``:public` allows any process to read/write counters.
**Fix:** Use `:protected` and have GenServer expose `hit/3` via `call`.
---
### M22. Impersonation Session Has No Expiry
**File:** `lib/towerops_web/user_auth.ex:879-910`
**Severity:** MEDIUM — Superuser impersonation persists indefinitely
**Description:** If a superuser starts impersonating and walks away, the session continues impersonating until manually stopped.
**Fix:** Tie impersonation to sudo mode or add dedicated `expires_at`.
---
## LOW
### L1. Cloudflare API Token Potentially Leaked in Logs
**File:** `lib/towerops/security/cloudflare_client.ex:47,74-76`
**Severity:** LOW — Debug logging could expose bearer token
**Description:** Cloudflare API token is passed as Bearer token. If HTTP client logs headers in debug mode, token leaks to logs.
**Fix:** Ensure HTTP client strips authorization headers from logs.
---
### L4. No Auth on PromEx Metrics Port (Documentation Gap)
**File:** `config/config.exs:106-117`
**Severity:** LOW — Document that network isolation is the only protection
**Description:** `auth_strategy: :none` is acceptable if the port is firewalled, but this should be explicitly documented.
**Fix:** Add comment documenting expected network security.
---
### L14. `list_checks` No Pagination
**File:** `lib/towerops/monitoring.ex:24-32`
**Severity:** LOW — No limit on check listing for orgs with thousands of checks
**Fix:** Add default limit and pagination support.
---
### L15. OpenWeatherMap API Key in URL Query Param
**File:** `lib/towerops/weather/client.ex:13,65`
**Severity:** LOW — API key in URL may be logged by Req in debug/trace
**Fix:** Use header-based auth or ensure Req strips query params from logs.
---
### L16. COW/Vault ETS Table Name Collision Risk
**File:** `lib/towerops/vault.ex` (ETS table naming)
**Severity:** LOW — If two nodes share a node name, ETS table creation could conflict
**Fix:** Use unique ETS names incorporating node identifier.
