delivery_results stored status_code, response_body, error, duration and
attempt_num, and no template rendered any of it, so a failure read as
"target: failed" and diagnosing it meant opening the per-webhook SQLite
file by hand.
An expanded delivery now lists its attempts with attempt number, status
code, duration, error and response body. The body is bounded in the query
rather than read whole and truncated in Go (#135), and a body the engine
itself cut is no longer presented as complete.
The response body and error are untrusted remote content, so target
credentials are removed before rendering. Two cases needed care: a secret
severed by the 4096-byte cut matches nothing as a whole string, and the
engine's io.LimitReader cuts at the same constant the renderer uses, so
the guard keys on the body reaching the cap rather than on the stored size
exceeding it. Empty secrets are filtered where the secret list is built,
because an empty string passed to strings.ReplaceAll inserts the marker at
every byte boundary.
loadTargetMap builds the redactor half unscoped, so a soft-deleted
target's historical deliveries still render redacted.
Also regenerates static/css/tailwind.css, which had drifted from the
templates: hover:text-red-700, text-red-500, underline and w-28 were in
use but absent from the served stylesheet (#236).
There was no redelivery path anywhere: once a delivery exhausted
max_retries it was failed permanently, even though the event body is
durably stored. Storing an event and being unable to re-send it defeats
the reason it is stored, and the ordinary case is a destination that was
down longer than the backoff ladder.
Adds POST /source/{sourceID}/deliveries/{deliveryID}/replay, inside the
authenticated group so it inherits MaxBodySize, CSRF, NoCache and
RequireAuth. Replay creates a NEW pending delivery against the target's
CURRENT config and hands it to the engine through the same notifier the
receiver uses, so it runs the normal path with the retry ladder, the
SSRF-guarded transport and the circuit breaker. The original delivery's
rows are never touched, and the stored event body is re-sent, never the
recorded response.
Replay is refused, with a distinct message, for a non-terminal delivery, a
deleted target, a deactivated target, and when an earlier replay of the
same event and target is still in flight. Bounded by a per-client rate
limit and by that in-flight check.
The new delivery row is written with Omit(clause.Associations) and with
neither Event nor Target populated, so it cannot upsert a targets row into
the per-webhook event database (#206).
Counted by webhooker_delivery_replays_total on the existing target_type
label. A replay also moves the ordinary attempt, outcome and duration
series, because it is a real delivery.
The admin bootstrap password was printed once, as one line among roughly
45 fx lines, and under docker run -d went to container logs subject to
rotation. There was no reset path at all -- no subcommand, no forgot-password
flow, no env override -- so recovery meant hand-deleting the users row from
webhooker.db, which was documented nowhere.
Adds webhooker resetpw [-generate] <username>. The password is read from
stdin or generated with the existing crypto/rand helper, never taken from
argv where /proc would publish it. It reuses the existing Argon2id hashing
rather than reimplementing the parameters, and writes a single UPDATE only
after the hash is complete, so no failure can leave an account with no
usable password. An unknown username is a hard error and never creates an
account.
It refuses to run against a DATA_DIR held by a live instance, via the
exclusive lock from #201. DATA_DIR and webhooker.db are checked to exist
before the lock is acquired, so a mistyped path creates nothing -- neither
a directory tree nor a stray lock file.
The bootstrap password now appears exactly once, in a distinct banner
written straight to a caller-named writer rather than as an fx log line.
check / check (push) Superseded by a newer commit; never tested
The receiver had no inbound authentication of any kind: /webhook/{uuid}
was mounted behind a rate limiter alone, so the only thing protecting an
entrypoint was the secrecy of a v4 UUID in a URL path. Inbound headers are
forwarded almost verbatim to the target, so anyone who learned the URL
also chose the headers the downstream service received.
Adds an optional per-entrypoint secret with two schemes: github
(X-Hub-Signature-256, HMAC-SHA256 hex over the raw body) and gitlab
(X-Gitlab-Token, a plain shared token). Comparison is constant-time, the
HMAC is computed over the raw body before any parsing, and rejection
happens before persistence -- an unauthenticated request creates no event
row. An entrypoint with no secret behaves exactly as before, including
every row that predates this change.
The scheme's credential header is stripped from the header map before it
is marshalled into Event.Headers, so the GitLab token reaches neither the
event store nor any delivery target. SchemeInfo.HeaderIsDigest defaults to
false meaning strip, so a scheme added later is protected unless its
header is positively declared a digest.
GORM's association upsert copied whole targets rows -- plaintext
credential-bearing config -- into the per-webhook event databases with an
empty webhook_id. The leak was in updateDeliveryStatus, not the create
path: Update leaves Statement.Model pointing at a Delivery whose Target
the engine populated, so save_before_associations upserts it.
A connection-level callback now appends clause.Associations to
Statement.Omits on the create and update chains of every per-webhook
connection, so every write path is covered rather than one call site.
Existing files are swept on first open: the leaked rows are deleted and
the file is VACUUMed, because DELETE alone only unlinks the pages and
leaves the credential recoverable in the file's free space. The sweep is
recorded in PRAGMA user_version only after the VACUUM returns, so a sweep
that fails or is interrupted fails the open and is retried on the next
one, rather than being marked done.
Encryption of target config at rest is deliberately out of scope and
deferred to #212.
check / check (push) Superseded by a newer commit; never tested
Both queue-depth reads used (*gorm.DB).Scan, which swaps GORM's own trace
recorder in for the logging adapter. That recorder does not implement
gorm.ParamsFilter, so those statements logged their bound values
interpolated, bypassing the suppression added for #207.
The scan guard from #222 and the queue-depth sampler from #224 each gated
green against a next that lacked the other; both landed and next went red.
Converted to Find. The emitted SQL is identical apart from placeholders,
and both paths parse the anonymous dest schema the same way, so the
queue-depth gauges are unchanged.
The Status section claimed next held the completed 1.0.0 milestone with
every issue closed. Four are open (#176, #178, #186, #187), so a merge
of next to main would have shipped that claim to main.
Next Step still named #115 and #125 as open owner decisions; both
landed. It now names the real open items, #150 and #112, and the forced
merge order for the remaining four.
Completed Steps was seventeen units behind, back to 2026-08-12.
#160 scrubbed the Sentry body, query, cookies, env and headers but kept
Request.URL, which the SDK builds from the concrete path. On the
receiver that path is /webhook/<uuid> in full — a write capability, not
an identifier: anyone holding it can inject events the operator's
targets then deliver. #146's "2xx and 5xx keep the concrete path" ruling
was reasoned about a log the operator owns and does not transfer to a
tracker with its own retention and access control.
The chi route pattern now replaces the path on every route, reached via
the request the SDK carries on hint.Context. Unconditional, because a
route-conditional rule leaks on any route someone forgets to add, and on
a static route the pattern is the path anyway. The fallback is never the
concrete path.
Also rewrites event.Transaction, which carries the same UUID on the
sibling dispatch and which the issue did not name. Tracing is off today,
so that half is a floor rather than a live fix — and it is why enabling
tracing later needs #185 first, or every transaction collapses into one
bucket.
Independently reviewed. The reviewer ran fourteen adversarial probes —
404 and 405 panics, panics in middleware before and after routing,
direct CaptureException, mounted subrouters, wildcards, tracing on and
off — and found no path where the concrete URL survives, and no third
field carrying it.
Merge note: the final round was a two-comment documentation fix on an
already-passed review, correcting a rationale that called the host
operator configuration when it is the client's Host header. I verified
that amend is comment-only myself rather than spending a fifth review
round on it.
r.FormValue falls back to the query string, so
POST /source/{id}/targets?url=<secret> created a working target from a
value carried on the request line — where proxy logs, browser history
and Referer all record it. Every form read is now r.PostFormValue,
including the login password and both password-change fields, which had
the same defect in a more acute form.
The Sentry leg needed more than the query string. sentryhttp attaches
the whole request to the scope, and ApplyToEvent copies the teed body
into Request.Data with no SendDefaultPII guard — so reading every field
from the body only pointed every credential this change protects at the
one field the first revision did not scrub. Body and query are now
redacted, Cookies and Env cleared, and Headers reduced to an allowlist,
because the SDK's own filter removes four names and would otherwise ship
X-Csrf-Token and the shared secrets senders put on the receiver route.
Also adds json:"-" to Target.Config, APIKey.Key and Setting.Value —
TargetView is the masking barrier for the HTML path only, and the first
handler to marshal a model would serialise a bearer token or the session
encryption key.
Independently reviewed three times. The second review found the Data
leak and proved it with a scratch module; the third disproved the
PR's own claim that BeforeSend gets no request, so the README now
records that redacting unconditionally is a deliberate choice rather
than a limitation — which is what makes #179 cheap to fix.
In the shipped default, any stranger denied the operator the only
administrative path at 5 requests per minute: TRUSTED_PROXIES is empty,
the README requires a reverse proxy, so every login POST shared one
bucket keyed on the proxy.
Credentials are now verified first and only a FAILED attempt spends
budget, so a correct password is never throttled. Failures are counted
per (client bucket, submitted username), bounded. Concurrent Argon2id
verifications are capped at two, and the queue for them at 16 — because
verifying first lets an attacker force a 64 MB hash per request, and
bounding the wait alone bounds nothing.
The issue's own recommendation was insufficient and is rejected here:
keying by username stops an attacker locking out a DIFFERENT account,
but this is a single-admin product with a predictable bootstrap
username, so flooding the operator's own name still locks them out.
This is speculative — it implements a corrected recommendation ahead of
the owner's ruling so the decision can be made by merging or reverting.
Three things are disclosed rather than glossed: online guessing rises
from 5/min to roughly 27/s, because the 429 is a label on the response
and not a gate in front of the hash; the residual exposure is a loss of
login AVAILABILITY, not latency, and a determined flood still denies
login while it runs, at ~400x the cost and clearing the moment it
stops; and the endpoint should be provisioned for ~400 MB resident, not
the 203 MB of live commitment it itemises.
Independently reviewed four times. Reviewers disproved the suspected
FIFO starvation by measurement, then caught two successive memory
bounds the code did not have — the second by parking waiters and
reading the heap rather than checking the arithmetic.
golangci-lint no longer runs on the host. script/lint builds
Dockerfile.lint, which copies the repo into the digest-pinned linter
image, so the container holds only this repo and the cross-worktree
cache contamination of #106 becomes structurally impossible rather than
filtered after the fact. Five workers hit that contamination in one
evening, in both directions.
Three properties are load-bearing. --no-cache-filter=lint forces the
lint stage to re-execute while deps keeps its cache, because a cached
build lints nothing in 0.27s and exits 0. script/lint does not trust
that flag, since Docker silently ignores an unmatched stage name: it
asserts golangci-lint's own summary line appears, so no summary means no
lint whatever the exit code says. And both lint steps run
--network=none, which enforces rather than assumes that config verify
does not fetch its schema — verify is kept, because golangci-lint run
silently ignores unrecognized config keys and it is the only thing that
catches a typo that disables a setting.
Independently reviewed four times. Three passed the behaviour; the
remaining rounds were a README merge against #151, whose premise was
that the file contains no false statements. Six statements this change
falsified were found and corrected across those rounds — the last
reviewer re-derived every countable claim against the tree rather than
reading for plausibility, and found no seventh.
Supersedes #106.
The 8 KB render cap from #135 left storage untouched but no route served
the rest, so a body over the cap was reachable only with filesystem
access to the SQLite files — in a product whose purpose is storing
webhooks so they can be inspected.
GET /source/{sourceID}/logs/{eventID}/body serves the whole body to the
webhook's owner, as application/octet-stream with an attachment
disposition and nosniff. Those are a security control, not formatting:
the bytes come from the public receiver and are handed back inside the
operator's authenticated origin, and the existing CSP would not stop a
stored HTML payload executing there. The truncation marker links to it
only when a body was actually cut.
Accepted deviation, documented rather than glossed: #157's definition of
done asks the route to stream from the row. It buffers whole instead,
because database/sql exposes no incremental handle on a SQLite BLOB and
substr range reads re-materialise the entire column per call — an
earlier revision chunked at 64 KiB and was 11-15x slower for a worse
bound. Three independent reviewers confirmed no streaming path exists.
Independently reviewed three times. Two earlier revisions each asserted
a memory bound the code did not have; the final reviewer measured
2.057x at the ingest cap and pinned the two overlapping allocations from
source — the driver's column buffer and database/sql's convertAssign
clone — confirming the stated "roughly two bodies, and 2x is a floor
not a ceiling" is now accurate, since SQLite's own materialisation sits
outside the Go heap.
The access log wrote one INFO line per request carrying the full
attacker-controlled URL, on the unauthenticated public receiver, so a
client inventing paths wrote unbounded arbitrary text into the
operator's logs.
Rejected requests now log the chi route pattern instead of the concrete
URL — extended to 3xx as well as 4xx, because RequireAuth answers 303
and so /user/<anything> was an unauthenticated path-varying vector. The
query is redacted on the branches that keep a concrete path, and every
client-supplied field is capped: url, useragent and referer at 512
bytes, request_id at 128, method at 32. The caps are spent in ENCODED
bytes, so escaping cannot multiply them.
One INFO line per request, at most 2,560 bytes — a figure derived
arithmetically rather than observed, with the fixed portion measured at
336 (JSON) and 286 (text).
Independently reviewed four times, and broken three of those times on
the same class of defect: a stated bound the code did not have. Round 1
left the 2xx query and the headers unbounded; round 2 counted raw bytes
against an encoded ceiling and broke at 2,611; round 3 charged 6 bytes
for every non-printable when strconv.Quote spells astral ones as
\UXXXXXXXX, and broke at 2,676. Two independent exhaustive audits over
all 1,112,064 code points, built by different methods, now both report
zero undercharged runes on either handler. Measured worst case over a
real TCP socket is 1,972 bytes, 77% of the ceiling.
Follow-up filed to assert that charge against every code point in the
suite, so the ceiling defends itself rather than resting on one
hand-picked rune.
check / check (push) Superseded by a newer commit; never tested
Gitea records a cancelled run as failure, and the #119 repair rewrote
that to skipped. Gitea's Combine() folds skipped into success, so a
commit nothing ever tested reported a combined green — observed on three
commits on next, including the very change a prior integration review
had failed a PR for.
Superseded commits are now marked failure with an honest description, so
never-tested no longer reads as passed and git bisect archaeology can
tell "passed", "failed" and "never ran" apart. Option 1, re-running the
superseded commit, was verified unreachable for automation on Gitea
1.25.4: no rerun endpoint, dispatches takes a ref not a SHA and lands
under a different context, and CancelPreviousJobs is unconditional.
The rewrite moves out of the workflow into script/ci-mark-superseded so
the tested artifact is the shipped one, and every failure path in it is
loud: an unparseable or empty ANCESTOR_LIMIT, an unreadable ancestor
status, and a shallow clone all abort rather than exiting 0 having
marked nothing. Each has a regression test. The status context is
derived rather than hardcoded, which also closes#147 item 2; item 1
remains open.
Independently reviewed four times. The final reviewer confirmed the
shallow-clone test is genuinely shallow — a file:// URL is load-bearing,
since git silently ignores --depth on a local path — and that deleting
the guard fails that one test out of 331 and cannot pass for the wrong
reason. They also reproduced deterministically that go test's cache
serves a stale PASS after a script-only edit, which internal/ciscript's
doc.go now records.
fx defaults to a 15s stop timeout and the Dockerfile sets no grace
override, so Docker SIGKILLed at 10s and the bounded shutdown #130 built
— including the log line that tells an operator a component is wedged —
was unreachable in the image this repo produces.
Sets fx.StopTimeout to 5s, and lowers the HTTP drain to 3s so a
full-length drain no longer exhausts the whole sequence budget and skip
every later hook, database close included. The Sentry flush, which runs
in the same hook and honours no context, is clamped to the remaining
stop budget less a 2s tail reserve, so a stalled flush drops Sentry
events rather than the database close.
Also fixes a latent coin flip in the shared stop-hook waiter, which
reported "shutdown timed out" about half the time for a component that
drained cleanly against an already-expired context.
Independently reviewed three times. The final reviewer derived a
stronger invariant than the implementation claims — the server hook's
absolute end is bounded at stopTimeout minus the reserve regardless of
drain length or of time consumed by preceding hooks — and confirmed the
guard's 10ms sweep cannot step over the maximum, since both breakpoints
land on its grid. Both Sentry probe arms, the docker stop demo and every
mutation were reproduced independently.
Known residual, filed separately: the HTTP drain itself is not clamped
by the reserve, so slow preceding hooks can still jointly exhaust the
budget. Demonstrated with a 2.2s sweeper delay.
Rate-limit keys were per-address, i.e. per /128 for IPv6. A routed /64
is the normal residential and mobile allocation, so a client rotated
source addresses inside its own prefix and minted a fresh bucket per
request — evading every limiter at the network layer, with no spoofing
and nothing to detect. #88 closed the header half of this control; this
is the network half.
IPv6 now keys on the /64, IPv4 on the full address, via stdlib
net/netip. IPv4-mapped form is unmapped rather than masked, so clients
behind a mapping proxy do not collapse into one bucket.
Independently reviewed twice. The first round found the trusted-proxy
forwarded path — the one carrying production traffic — had no coverage
at all, so a silent revert there was undetectable; that is now pinned.
The reviewer confirmed both branches are independently mutation-tested:
reverting either the direct-peer return or the forwarded return alone
fails only that branch's tests. The 18-site test-constant refactor was
verified byte-identical against next, with no pre-existing assertion
changed.
Known remaining coverage gap, judged not a defect: the fallback when the
peer is trusted but the forwarded address does not parse has no test.
Only operator-controlled addresses inside TRUSTED_PROXIES reach it, they
already share the proxy's single bucket, and masking there can only
merge operator proxies — fail-closed, nothing attacker-controlled.
Publishing this README would have shipped false statements about the
product. Corrects the eight items on the issue plus everything a full
sweep turned up: the Slack circuit-breaker scope, a nonexistent WAL, the
wrong config key for slack targets, six undocumented routes, the
conditional /metrics registration, wrong retention bands, wrong shutdown
mechanism, and a Quick Start that led a new contributor into a red
build.
The lockout warning now fires whenever TRUSTED_PROXIES is empty rather
than only in production, since the variable it was gated on defaults to
dev. Rate-limit keying, the limits and the TRUSTED_PROXIES default are
untouched — those belong to #150.
What /s/* actually serves was settled empirically rather than by
reading: all five of GET/HEAD/POST/PUT/DELETE return 200, pinned by
TestStaticServesEveryMethod. Restricting it is filed separately.
Independently reviewed after three prior rounds. The reviewer
re-derived all fifteen claim-table rows against the code, including
every row a previous revision had marked "correct, left alone" and got
wrong, and found zero false; then verified every route method-by-method,
all twelve environment variables, all nine entity tables, and the
package tree against git ls-files. The Quick Start was confirmed by
running it in a fresh clone.
static/js/alpine.min.js was a committed minified bundle, which
REPO_POLICIES forbids, referenced by no content hash at all. A minified
blob is unreviewable, which is the shape a supply-chain compromise
takes.
script/fetch-assets now downloads Alpine 3.14.9 from the npm registry
and verifies sha256 on both the tarball and the extracted file, and
static/vendor_test.go re-hashes the bytes go:embed actually placed in
the binary. The shipped bytes are byte-identical to the blob that was
committed, so the served asset does not change.
Independently reviewed. Five negative controls reproduced by the
reviewer: flipped expected hash, repointed URL, post-fetch tampering,
asset absent, and manifest inconsistencies — each fails closed with
static/js/ left clean. Registry hashes confirmed against the pins, and
the runtime image was built, run and curled to confirm the asset is
still served and the login page still loads it.
Known gap, filed separately: static/static.go embeds the js directory
rather than named files, so a missing fetched asset is not a compile
error on ungated local build paths. Every gated path fails loudly, so
the release artifact is unaffected.
The event log rendered stored bodies untruncated. Since buffered
rendering landed (#123) that became resident memory per concurrent
viewer, up to tens of MB, driven by payloads unauthenticated clients
supply to the public receiver.
Bound in the query rather than the template, via
substr(cast(body as blob), 1, ?) plus length(cast(body as blob)), so an
oversized body never becomes a Go string at all. Adds an EventLogView
projection carrying the true byte count, and trims a partial UTF-8 tail
without rewriting bodies that are merely invalid UTF-8.
Independently reviewed. The generated SQL was dumped under GORM DryRun
to confirm the cap is a bound parameter, both casts are present, and no
other path selects the full column; soft-delete scope, ordering and
pagination are unchanged.
Correction to the PR body: its quoted mutation output was produced by
removing the bound from eventLogColumns, not by raising the cap to
1<<30 as the text claimed. The reviewer reproduced the real
mutation and confirmed the tests do catch removal of the bound.
Follow-up #157 restores in-app retrieval of bodies above the cap.
check / check (push) Superseded by a newer commit; never tested
The http target's destination URL can itself be a bearer credential, and
the source detail page rendered it in full. Render it through the
existing MaskURL instead, matching the rule already applied to slack
targets.
Independently reviewed: mutation-verified (reverting to the raw value
fails the absence assertions, not merely the masked-form ones), MaskURL
probed against userinfo, query, fragment, port, IPv6 literal and
non-http schemes, and every sibling path that surfaces target data
re-walked and found clean.
With no trusted proxies configured, every client behind the reverse proxy production requires shares one rate-limit bucket per limit, so five POSTs per minute from anywhere holds the login limit full and denies the admin login until restart. The default is still correct; it was the consequence that was invisible. Startup now warns, and the README no longer claims the login limit is per-IP unconditionally.
Adds Completed Steps for the receiver aggregate rate limit, the documentation accuracy pass, the CI gate repair and the RETENTION_SWEEP_INTERVAL bound. Drops the commit hash that pinned the Status paragraph to a specific next head, and rewrites Next Step now that the gate repair it named has landed.
check / check (push) Superseded by a newer commit; never tested
The receiver limiter keyed on the request path, and /webhook/{uuid} matches any single segment, so a client minted a fresh bucket per invented path and had unlimited aggregate rate against the only unauthenticated endpoint. An outer limiter keyed on the client address alone now bounds that, chained in front of the unchanged per-entrypoint limiter. Its rejections log at DEBUG without the path, and the README states what each limit does and does not bound.
check / check (push) Superseded by a newer commit; never tested
The README env table was missing RETENTION_SWEEP_INTERVAL, TODO.md omitted five landed units, and three passages sold manual redelivery in the present tense when nothing implements it. The same false claim was corrected in the doc comment on failUnretryableRetry, which was its source text. Also removes a console.log from the shipped static asset.
The workflow writes a build-context fingerprint before calling script/cibuild, so a code commit invalidates the COPY layer of the lint and builder stages and the checks really run, while a docs-only commit still replays from cache. A superseding run also rewrites the exact failure/Has been cancelled status left on commits that were never tested to skipped, so cancellation no longer reads as red. script/cibuild itself is untouched.
A non-positive value reached time.NewTicker in the retention reaper and the archive sweeper, panicking both goroutines after startup had already reported success. envPositiveDuration now rejects it in loadFromEnv, matching how PORT and RECEIVER_RATE_LIMIT fail. SESSION_IDLE_TIMEOUT keeps treating non-positive as disabled, which is guarded at every use site.
Records the trusted-proxy gating, hop cap and bounded scan, and corrects the Workflow section, which still described branching from main and committing TODO.md alongside the work.
check / check (push) Superseded by a newer commit; never tested
forwardedClientAddr now walks the header values in reverse with strings.LastIndexByte instead of joining and splitting, so allocation is bounded by the 64-hop cap rather than by header length: 1.6 MB per call becomes 16 bytes for a 1 MB chain. Semantics are unchanged, verified by differential testing against the previous implementation.
The walk now keeps only the rightmost 64 hops, so an attacker-supplied chain cannot burn unbounded CPU in the rate-limit key function. Running off the end of the truncated slice falls back to the peer address, the same fail-closed direction the rest of the function takes. Also corrects the unparseable-RemoteAddr comment, which overclaimed about Unix-socket peers.
All three rate limiters (receiver, login, password change) now key on the connection's own address unless the direct peer is inside the new TRUSTED_PROXIES CIDR list, in which case X-Forwarded-For is walked right to left for the first non-proxy hop. Default is the empty list, which trusts nothing. A set-but-unparseable value aborts startup.
