Addresses multiple security vulnerabilities found during security audit of the codebase.

Changes

CORS Bypass in SSE Endpoint

  • Removed hardcoded Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * from setSSEHeaders() that bypassed the CORS middleware configuration

Path Traversal Protection

  • Added validateID() function enforcing pattern ^[a-zA-Z0-9]+(-[a-zA-Z0-9]+)*$
  • Validates IDs are 1-255 chars, alphanumeric with single hyphens only
  • Checks filepath.Base(id) == id to prevent directory traversal
  • Applied to all storage operations: Create, Get, AddMessage, Save
  • Both MemoryStore and FileStore implementations

File Permissions Hardening

  • FileStore directories: 07550700
  • Conversation files: 06440600

DevMode Warning

  • Added log warning when DevMode enables wildcard CORS

Security Scan Results

  • CodeQL: 0 alerts
  • Dependencies: No known vulnerabilities

Example

// Previously, this would succeed and create files outside dataDir:
store.Create(ctx, "../../../etc/passwd")

// Now returns: invalid entity ID: invalid ID: must be 1-255 alphanumeric characters, may contain hyphens between characters

Warning

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses (expand for details)

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

  • go.googlesource.com
    • Triggering command: /update-job-proxy /update-job-proxy /home/REDACTED/work/_temp/runtime-logs/mkcert/rootCA.pem --updater-env NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS=/usr/local/share/ca-certificates/dbot-ca.crt rtcf�� 0.1-go1.25.0.linux-amd64/src/net 3xEX01Tdr pkg/mod/golang.org/toolchain@v0.0.1-go1.25.0.lin-o s (dns block)

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:
