The access log wrote one INFO line per request carrying
r.URL.String(). Registered with Use, it runs ahead of the route
limiter, so a client flooding the unauthenticated receiver with
invented paths wrote attacker-chosen text of attacker-chosen length
into the operator's log, one line per request.
3xx and 4xx responses now log the chi route pattern in place of the
concrete URL, and the fixed literal "(unmatched)" when routing matched
nothing at all. One line per request is retained, so real traffic
stays observable and rate accounting still works, but the line's
content is now bounded by the service's own route table. The pattern
is only populated after routing, so it is read in the deferred part of
the handler rather than before next.ServeHTTP.
The route pattern alone does not close the hole, because it leaves two
other ways for a request to choose the size of the line it writes.
The query string is one: /.well-known/healthcheck and /s/* answer 200
to anyone with no rate limiter in front of them, and /pages/login
behind only the login limiter, so appending 8 KB after the '?' bought
the same amplification as an invented 404 path. The branches that keep
the concrete URL now log the path only, with the query replaced by the
fixed marker "?(redacted)". Nothing debuggable is lost: `page`, on the
authenticated pagination links, is the only query parameter this
service reads.
The headers are the other: useragent and referer are logged on every
line, including the correctly redacted ones, so an 8 KB User-Agent
plus an 8 KB Referer produced a 24 KB line whose url field read
"(unmatched)". Each field a client supplies is now truncated rather
than dropped -- a truncated User-Agent is still worth reading -- to
512 bytes for url, useragent and referer, 128 for request_id (chi
passes an inbound X-Request-Id header straight through), and 32 for
method, which Go accepts as any token up to the header size limit.
Truncation also drops invalid UTF-8, which an encoder would otherwise
expand six-fold past the budget.
Each budget is spent in encoded bytes rather than in the bytes the
client sent, because the line an operator stores is the encoded one.
Every rune is charged what the wider of the two handlers
internal/logger can select will emit for it: two bytes for a quotation
mark, a backslash or a tab; six for a non-printable rune below
U+10000; and ten for one at or above it, which the text handler's
strconv.Quote spells \UXXXXXXXX where the JSON handler passes the four
UTF-8 bytes through untouched. Go's header parser accepts every one of
them in a header value -- U+1000C is four bytes all >= 0x80, which
httpguts.ValidHeaderFieldValue accepts and net/textproto does not
strip -- so counted raw a 512-byte budget bought a 1,024-byte field,
and charging the astral case six rather than ten bought an 861-byte
one on a tty. Plain ASCII still encodes one byte for one, so a real
browser's User-Agent fits whole, while a value built out of escapes
keeps a proportionally shorter prefix.
A complete line is now at most 2,560 bytes under either handler:
3*(512+11) for url, useragent and referer, 128+11 for request_id,
32+11 for method and a fixed portion of 336 for JSON come to 2,087,
and 2,037 for the text handler's 286-byte fixed portion, both stated
with headroom. The tests assert it against 8 KB in the path, in the
query and in each of the three headers, including values built from
the characters the handlers escape and from an unassigned astral code
point, and against a 5xx whose concrete url is at its own budget on
the same line. Every case runs through both handler shapes, since the
two do not escape alike and the number is quoted unqualified. The
README states it so an operator can size log storage against it.
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.
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
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.
The receiver was the one unauthenticated, internet-facing endpoint with no
rate limit, so a misbehaving or hostile sender could flood a webhook
without bound. RECEIVER_RATE_LIMIT (default 120/min) now caps it, keyed on
client IP plus entrypoint path so one entrypoint cannot exhaust another's
budget. Over-limit requests get 429 with Retry-After.
The limiter deliberately does not reuse postRateLimit: that helper is
POST-only and keys on IP alone, whereas the receiver must count every
method. A test locks that property in.
Config parsing follows the fail-loudly idiom: a set-but-unparseable or
non-positive value aborts startup rather than falling back to the default.
Known limitation, tracked in #88: the key still trusts forwarded headers
unconditionally, so the limit is evadable by rotating X-Forwarded-For until
trusted-proxy gating lands.
check / check (push) Superseded by a newer commit; never tested
CSRF ran before MaxBodySize, so the CSRF middleware parsed the form body
before any cap applied and an oversized request was read in full before
being rejected. MaxBodySize is now the first middleware in all four route
groups that parse forms, ahead of CSRF and RequireAuth.
An oversize request therefore gets 413 without the handler running and
without state changing, including the password-change route.
Note the ordering trade: an unauthenticated client now receives 413 rather
than an auth redirect on /user/{username}/password.
Sessions now carry a server-enforced idle deadline (SESSION_IDLE_TIMEOUT,
default 24h) alongside the 7-day absolute cap, refreshed on authenticated
activity. Activity never extends the absolute cap.
check / check (push) Superseded by a newer commit; never tested
Adds an authenticated, CSRF-protected flow that lets a user change their own password from the profile page.
## Route
- New `POST /password` under the `/user/{username}` group in `setupUserRoutes` (`internal/server/routes.go`). That group already applies `CSRF`, `NoCache`, and `RequireAuth`, so the new endpoint inherits all three.
## Handler (`internal/handlers/profile.go`)
- `HandlePasswordChange` enforces own-user access: the `{username}` path parameter must equal the session username (same 403 rule `HandleProfile` uses). This check plus the session lookup is factored into a shared `profileOwnerOrDeny` helper now used by both handlers.
- Parses `current_password`, `new_password`, and `confirm_password` (body size limited via `http.MaxBytesReader`).
- Verifies the current password with `database.VerifyPassword` against the stored hash.
- Requires the new password to be non-empty and equal to the confirmation.
- Hashes the new password with `database.HashPassword` — the same Argon2id helper used to bootstrap the admin user — and persists it on the user row. No new crypto.
- Re-renders the profile page with a clear success or error message. Wrong current password, empty new password, and mismatched confirmation are each rejected with their own message and leave the stored hash unchanged.
## Template (`templates/profile.html`)
- Adds a "Change Password" card with current / new / confirm password fields plus the hidden `csrf_token` (matching the login form's CSRF embedding).
- Renders success/error alerts using the existing `alert-success` / `alert-error` styles. No new CSS classes, so no Tailwind rebuild is required.
## Tests (`internal/handlers/profile_test.go`)
- `TestHandlePasswordChange_Success`: seeds a user, posts a valid change, asserts success message and that the stored hash changed and verifies against the new password.
- `TestHandlePasswordChange_WrongCurrentPassword`: posts a wrong current password, asserts the rejection message and that the stored hash is unchanged.
Validated with `docker build .` (fmt-check, lint, test, build) — exit 0.

Bumps golangci-lint from v2.11.3 to v2.12.2 and adopts the canonical lint config.
## Version pins
- `Dockerfile`: `golangci/golangci-lint:v2.12.2` Debian image, pinned by digest, dated `2026-08-07`
- `script/bootstrap`: `GOLANGCI_LINT_VERSION=2.12.2` with updated sha256 pins for the `linux-amd64` and `linux-arm64` release archives
## Config
`.golangci.yml` replaced with the canonical config. The previous file kept `lll`/`funlen`/`cyclop`/`dupl` settings under the top-level `linters-settings` key, which the v2 schema ignores; the canonical config nests them under `linters.settings`, so those thresholds now actually apply. The unsupported `issues.exclude-use-default` key was dropped.
## Lint fixes (32 findings)
- `lll` (7): wrapped or shortened over-length lines (struct tag comments moved above fields, test logger construction split, `session.NewForTest` signature wrapped, shortened a `#nosec` comment)
- `goconst` (17): replaced repeated `"POST"`/`"PUT"` literals with `http.MethodPost`/`http.MethodPut`, added shared test constants for `webhooker-test`/`test`/`application/json`, and added `tmplKeyError`/`tmplKeyWebhook` constants for template data keys in `internal/handlers`
- `dupl` (8): merged `buildHTTPTargetConfig` and `buildSlackTargetConfig` into a parameterized `buildURLTargetConfig`; removed the duplicate `iWebhookDB` test helper in favor of `testWebhookDB`; extracted shared helpers in middleware and session tests
No `//nolint` directives were added and behavior is unchanged. `make check` (fmt-check, tests, lint) passes.
Note: golangci-lint v2.12 deprecates the `gomodguard` linter in favor of `gomodguard_v2`; the canonical config change for that is left for a future coordinated update.

Adds a `NoCache()` middleware that sets `Cache-Control: no-store` and `Pragma: no-cache`, and wires it onto the dynamic app route groups (`/pages`, `/user/{username}`, `/sources`, `/source/{sourceID}`) adjacent to their existing `CSRF()` call. The static `/s` mount, `/metrics`, `/webhook/{uuid}`, and `/.well-known/healthcheck` are intentionally left untouched (static assets are safe to cache; the others are not authenticated pages).
A middleware unit test asserts both headers are set.

Closes [issue #50](#50)
## Summary
Refactors the Dockerfile to use a separate lint stage with a pinned golangci-lint Docker image, following the pattern used by [sneak/pixa](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/pixa). This replaces the previous approach of installing golangci-lint via curl in the builder stage.
## Changes
### Dockerfile
- **New `lint` stage** using `golangci/golangci-lint:v2.11.3` (Debian-based, pinned by sha256 digest) as a separate build stage
- **Builder stage** depends on lint via `COPY --from=lint /src/go.sum /dev/null` — build won't proceed unless linting passes
- **Go bumped** from 1.24 to 1.26.1 (`golang:1.26.1-bookworm`, pinned by sha256)
- **golangci-lint bumped** from v1.64.8 to v2.11.3
- All three Docker images (golangci-lint, golang, alpine) pinned by sha256 digest
- Debian-based golangci-lint image used (not Alpine) because mattn/go-sqlite3 CGO does not compile on musl (off64_t)
### Linter Config (.golangci.yml)
- Migrated from v1 to v2 format (`version: "2"` added)
- Removed linters no longer available in v2: `gofmt` (handled by `make fmt-check`), `gosimple` (merged into `staticcheck`), `typecheck` (always-on in v2)
- Same set of linters enabled — no rules weakened
### Code Fixes (all lint issues from v2 upgrade)
- Added package comments to all packages
- Added doc comments to all exported types, functions, and methods
- Fixed unchecked errors flagged by `errcheck` (sqlDB.Close, os.Setenv in tests, resp.Body.Close, fmt.Fprint)
- Fixed unused parameters flagged by `revive` (renamed to `_`)
- Fixed `gosec` G120 warnings: added `http.MaxBytesReader` before `r.ParseForm()` calls
- Fixed `staticcheck` QF1012: replaced `WriteString(fmt.Sprintf(...))` with `fmt.Fprintf`
- Fixed `staticcheck` QF1003: converted if/else chain to tagged switch
- Renamed `DeliveryTask` → `Task` to avoid package stutter (`delivery.Task` instead of `delivery.DeliveryTask`)
- Renamed shadowed builtin `max` parameter to `upperBound` in `cryptoRandInt`
- Used `t.Setenv` instead of `os.Setenv` in tests (auto-restores)
### README.md
- Updated version requirements: Go 1.26+, golangci-lint v2.11+
- Updated Dockerfile description in project structure
## Verification
`docker build .` passes cleanly — formatting check, linting, all tests, and build all succeed.

## Problem
After the security hardening in PR #42, login fails with `Forbidden - invalid CSRF token` in production deployments.
The CSRF middleware tied its `PlaintextHTTPRequest` wrapping and cookie `Secure` flag to the `IsDev()` environment check. This meant production mode always assumed HTTPS via gorilla/csrf's strict mode, which broke login in common deployment scenarios:
1. **Production behind a TLS-terminating reverse proxy**: gorilla/csrf assumed HTTPS but `r.TLS` was nil (the Go server receives HTTP from the proxy). Origin/Referer scheme mismatches caused `referer not supplied` or `origin invalid` errors.
2. **Production over direct HTTP** (testing/staging with prod config): the `Secure` cookie flag prevented the browser from sending the CSRF cookie back over HTTP, causing `CSRF token invalid` errors.
## Root Cause
gorilla/csrf v1.7.3 defaults to HTTPS-strict mode unless `PlaintextHTTPRequest()` is called. In strict mode it:
- Forces `requestURL.Scheme = "https"` for Origin/Referer comparisons
- Requires a `Referer` header on POST and rejects `http://` Referer schemes
- The `csrf.Secure(true)` option makes the browser refuse to send the CSRF cookie over HTTP
The old code only called `PlaintextHTTPRequest()` in dev mode, leaving prod mode permanently stuck in HTTPS-strict mode regardless of the actual transport.
## Fix
Detect the actual transport protocol **per-request** using:
- `r.TLS != nil` — direct TLS connection to the Go server
- `X-Forwarded-Proto: https` header — TLS-terminating reverse proxy
Two gorilla/csrf middleware instances are maintained (one with `Secure: true`, one with `Secure: false`) since `csrf.Secure()` is a creation-time option. Both use the same signing key, so cookies are interchangeable.
| Scenario | Cookie Secure | Origin/Referer Mode |
|---|---|---|
| Direct TLS (`r.TLS != nil`) | ✅ Secure | Strict (HTTPS scheme) |
| Behind TLS proxy (`X-Forwarded-Proto: https`) | ✅ Secure | Strict (HTTPS scheme) |
| Plaintext HTTP | ❌ Non-Secure | Relaxed (PlaintextHTTPRequest) |
CSRF token validation (cookie + form double-submit) is always enforced regardless of mode.
## Testing
- Added `TestCSRF_ProdMode_PlaintextHTTP_POSTWithValidToken` — prod mode over plaintext HTTP
- Added `TestCSRF_ProdMode_BehindProxy_POSTWithValidToken` — prod mode behind TLS proxy
- Added `TestCSRF_ProdMode_DirectTLS_POSTWithValidToken` — prod mode with direct TLS
- Added `TestCSRF_ProdMode_PlaintextHTTP_POSTWithoutToken` — token still required
- Added `TestIsClientTLS_*` — TLS detection unit tests
- All existing CSRF tests pass unchanged
- `docker build .` passes (includes `make check`)
- Manual verification: built and ran the container in both `dev` and `prod` modes, confirmed login succeeds in both

## Summary
This PR implements three security hardening measures:
### Security Headers Middleware (closes #34)
Adds a `SecurityHeaders()` middleware applied globally to all routes. Every response now includes:
- `Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=63072000; includeSubDomains; preload`
- `X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff`
- `X-Frame-Options: DENY`
- `Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; script-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'`
- `Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin`
- `Permissions-Policy: camera=(), microphone=(), geolocation=()`
### Session Fixation Prevention (closes #38)
Adds a `Regenerate()` method to the session manager that destroys the old session and creates a new one with a fresh ID, copying all session values. Called after successful login to prevent session fixation attacks.
### Request Body Size Limits (closes #39)
Adds a `MaxBodySize()` middleware using `http.MaxBytesReader` to limit POST/PUT/PATCH request bodies to 1 MB. Applied to all form endpoints (`/pages`, `/sources`, `/source/*`).
## Files Changed
- `internal/middleware/middleware.go` — Added `SecurityHeaders()` and `MaxBodySize()` middleware
- `internal/session/session.go` — Added `Regenerate()` method for session fixation prevention
- `internal/handlers/auth.go` — Updated login handler to regenerate session after authentication
- `internal/server/routes.go` — Added SecurityHeaders globally, MaxBodySize to form route groups
- `README.md` — Documented new middleware in stack, updated Security section, moved items to completed TODO

In dev mode, keep the wildcard origin for local testing convenience.
In production, skip CORS headers entirely since the web UI is
server-rendered and cross-origin requests are not expected.
Add RequireAuth middleware that checks for a valid session and
redirects unauthenticated users to /pages/login. Applied to all
/sources and /source/{sourceID} routes. The middleware uses the
existing session package for authentication checks.

## Summary
This PR brings the webhooker repo into full REPO_POLICIES compliance, addressing both [issue #1](#1) and [issue #2](#2).
## Changes
### New files
- **`cmd/webhooker/main.go`** — The missing application entry point. Uses Uber fx to wire together all internal packages (config, database, logger, server, handlers, middleware, healthcheck, globals, session). Minimal glue code.
- **`REPO_POLICIES.md`** — Fetched from authoritative source (`sneak/prompts`)
- **`.editorconfig`** — Fetched from authoritative source
- **`.dockerignore`** — Sensible Go project exclusions
- **`.gitea/workflows/check.yml`** — CI workflow that runs `docker build .` on push to any branch (Gitea Actions format, actions/checkout pinned by sha256)
- **`configs/config.yaml.example`** — Moved from root `config.yaml`
### Modified files
- **`Makefile`** — Complete rewrite with all REPO_POLICIES required targets: `test`, `lint`, `fmt`, `fmt-check`, `check`, `build`, `hooks`, `docker`, `clean`, plus `dev`, `run`, `deps`
- **`Dockerfile`** — Complete rewrite:
- Builder: `golang:1.24` (Debian-based, pinned by `sha256:d2d2bc1c84f7...`). Debian needed because `gorm.io/driver/sqlite` pulls `mattn/go-sqlite3` (CGO) which fails on Alpine musl.
- golangci-lint v1.64.8 installed from GitHub release archive with sha256 verification (v1.x because `.golangci.yml` uses v1 config format)
- Runs `make check` (fmt-check + lint + test + build) as build step
- Final stage: `alpine:3.21` (pinned by `sha256:c3f8e73fdb79...`) with non-root user, healthcheck, port 8080
- **`README.md`** — Rewritten with all required REPO_POLICIES sections: description line with name/purpose/category/license/author, Getting Started, Rationale, Design, TODO (integrated from TODO.md), License, Author
- **`.gitignore`** — Fixed `webhooker` pattern to `/webhooker` (was blocking `cmd/webhooker/`), added `config.yaml` to prevent committing runtime config with secrets
- **`static/static.go`** — Removed `vendor` from embed directive (directory was empty/missing)
- **`internal/database/database_test.go`** — Fixed to use in-memory config via `afero.MemMapFs` instead of depending on `config.yaml` on disk. Test is now properly isolated.
- **`go.mod`/`go.sum`** — `go mod tidy`
### Removed files
- **`TODO.md`** — Content integrated into README.md TODO section
- **`config.yaml`** — Moved to `configs/config.yaml.example`
## Verification
- `docker build .` passes (lint ✅, test ✅, build ✅)
- All existing tests pass with no modifications to assertions or test logic
- `.golangci.yml` untouched
