fix(security): authenticate LAN management API, redact cloud token

The root daemon binds all interfaces with zero auth: /api/config and
/api/system embedded the cloud token, and module install/stop plus
config writes were anonymous. Reads stay open for the on-device
dashboard; the token is redacted everywhere and mutating routes
require the device Bearer token. Pinned by httpapi_auth_test.go.

Note

High Risk
Changes authentication and credential handling on a root daemon LAN API that runs privileged module and config operations; clients that mutate without the Bearer token will break once provisioned.

Overview
Hardens the root-bound LAN HTTP API so the cloud device token is no longer returned on read paths and privileged writes require credentials.

GET /api/config and /api/system now strip cloud_token before JSON encoding (including the device block inside system info). POST /api/modules/install and /api/modules/stop and PUT /api/config call a new requireDeviceAuth gate: when a token is provisioned, callers must send Authorization: Bearer <device-token> with constant-time comparison (401/403 on failure); unprovisioned devices still allow mutations so setup is not blocked.

Routing is refactored into buildMux() for testability. device.json is persisted with mode 0600 instead of world-readable 0644. CHANGELOG records the fix; httpapi_auth_test.go asserts redaction, auth failures on mutating routes, and that dashboard/monitoring GETs remain unauthenticated.

CodeAnt-AI Description

Secure LAN management actions and protect the device cloud token

What Changed

  • Cloud tokens are removed from /api/config and /api/system responses
  • Module installation, module stopping, and configuration updates now require the device Bearer token once the device is provisioned
  • Unauthenticated dashboard read endpoints remain available
  • The token-bearing device configuration file is now readable only by its owner

Impact

✅ No cloud token exposure through LAN API responses
✅ Unauthorized module control blocked
✅ Unauthorized configuration changes blocked

Hey - I've reviewed your changes and they look great!

Sourcery assessment

Needs a human reviewer. If the authentication or redaction logic is wrong, any LAN peer could invoke root-level module operations or configuration writes, or obtain the cloud token through an API response. Reverting restores the prior implementation but cannot revoke a token that was exposed or undo privileged actions already performed.

🚨 Security: PUT /api/config response still serializes the raw cloud token

The PUT handler for /api/config (httpapi.go:169) encodes a.config directly instead of a.sanitizedConfig(), so a successful config update response body still includes the unredacted cloud_token field. This directly contradicts the PR's stated invariant ("the cloud token is NEVER serialized", httpapi.go:16) and is not caught by the new test suite, which never inspects the PUT response body. Fix by encoding a.sanitizedConfig() (or a fresh copy with CloudToken cleared) at line 169, and add a test asserting the PUT response also redacts the token.

Reuse sanitizedConfig() for the PUT response instead of encoding the raw config.:

w.Header().Set("Content-Type", "application/json")
json.NewEncoder(w).Encode(a.sanitizedConfig())

💡 Edge Case: SystemInfo() device-token redaction relies on a brittle type assertion

The /api/system handler (httpapi.go:73-78) redacts the token only if info["device"].(DeviceConfig) succeeds; if SystemInfo()'s return shape ever changes (e.g. to *DeviceConfig or a nested map), the assertion silently fails via ok and the token would be serialized unredacted with no error or test failure signaling the regression. Consider having SystemInfo() itself return an already-sanitized device value (reusing sanitizedConfig()) so redaction isn't duplicated and can't silently regress at the call site.

🟥 Config writes return the device token

A valid PUT returns a.config with CloudToken. API clients and intermediaries receive the reusable bearer credential.

🟡 Config reads still race with writes

During concurrent GET and PUT requests, sanitizedConfig locks while the PUT branch writes a.config without locking. The GET can return fields from different config versions.

Learn more

The HTTP server handles requests concurrently. sanitizedConfig copies a.config under a.mu.RLock, but the PUT branch changes the same struct and calls saveConfig, which changes UpdatedAt, without a.mu.Lock. A read lock only synchronizes with writers that use the matching write lock. The response can therefore combine fields from different updates, and the access is a Go data race.

Example: One request changes device_name while another reads the config. The GET can copy the new name before UpdatedAt changes and return a snapshot that never existed as a complete config.

Recommended fix: Guard the PUT mutation, timestamp update, persistence snapshot, and response snapshot with a.mu. Refactor saveConfig so its locking contract is explicit and callers such as LoadProfile cannot deadlock or bypass the lock.

🔍 System redaction is type-sensitive

Redaction silently stops if SystemInfo changes the device value from concrete DeviceConfig. Centralized sanitization would keep the response invariant stable.

🔍 Runtime receipts cover one test layer

The repository requires unit, integration, smoke, end-to-end, and probe receipts. This change adds only local HTTP tests for authentication.

🟥 Empty tokens bypass management authentication

When CloudToken is empty, requireDeviceAuth accepts anonymous requests. Any LAN peer can invoke root-level management routes on unprovisioned devices.

🟨 Management tokens travel without TLS

Authenticated routes accept the cloud bearer token over plain HTTP. A LAN observer can capture and reuse it for cloud or device access.

Cursor Bugbot has reviewed your changes using high effort and found 1 potential issue.

Autofix Details

Bugbot Autofix prepared a fix for the issue found in the latest run.

  • ✅ Fixed: PUT config response leaks token
    • PUT /api/config now returns sanitizedConfig() so cloud_token is stripped from the success body, matching GET and the LAN API invariant.

PUT config response leaks token

Medium Severity

A successful PUT /api/config encodes the live a.config value, so cloud_token is still written into the response body. Reads go through sanitizedConfig(), and this change states the token is never serialized, but this write path still returns it.

Agentic security review of this PR found one HIGH issue: mutating LAN routes fail open when CloudToken is empty, which is the in-repo default Init path. Token redaction on unauthenticated reads looks correct.

🔒 Agentic Security Review
Severity: HIGH

requireDeviceAuth returns true with no Authorization check whenever CloudToken is empty. That helper is the only gate on POST /api/modules/install (runs install.sh as root), POST /api/modules/stop, and PUT /api/config. The HTTP server still binds all interfaces.

The comment frames this as a short unprovisioned window, but Init() writes a DeviceConfig with no token, PUT /api/config cannot set cloud_token, and nothing else in this binary assigns CloudToken. Fail-open is therefore the default steady state, not a brief bootstrap. Tests only cover a pre-seeded token.

Impact: Any LAN peer can still invoke root-privileged module install/stop on devices that never received an out-of-band cloud_token in device.json.

Serve device Bearer authentication over TLS.

Line 217 starts a cleartext HTTP listener with ListenAndServe. The changed handlers accept the reusable device Bearer token on this listener.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

The authentication test covers only rejected credentials, so it would still pass if the new guard rejected every provisioned mutation. Add a request with the fixture's valid device Bearer token and assert it reaches each protected handler's post-auth behavior.

Risk: high. Left a non-blocking comment and did not approve: Cursor Bugbot skipped after reporting an unresolved PUT /api/config token-leak finding, Cursor Security Agent reported a HIGH fail-open auth issue, and this LAN auth change is above the medium approval threshold.

  • httpapi.go serves the cloud token over plain HTTP, allowing a LAN observer to capture and replay credentials; serve mutating routes over TLS or isolate them behind a protected local channel.
  • httpapi.go fails open when CloudToken is empty, leaving mutating endpoints—including root-level installation actions—effectively unauthenticated; require a configured authentication mechanism before serving these routes.
  • httpapi.go returns cloud_token after authenticated PUT /api/config, exposing the secret in the response; encode a.sanitizedConfig() for write responses.

<file name="httpapi.go">

<violation number="1" location="httpapi.go:38">
P1: `requireDeviceAuth` fails open whenever `a.config.CloudToken` is empty, and that token is never set anywhere in this codebase, so in practice every mutating route (`/api/modules/install` runs `install.sh` as root, `/api/modules/stop`, PUT `/api/config`) remains anonymous to any LAN peer. That is exactly the gap this PR is meant to close. Consider failing closed for mutating routes when no token is provisioned (reject with 401 and require provisioning) rather than treating an unprovisioned device as an open door.</violation>

<violation number="2" location="httpapi.go:46">
P1: Because `startHTTPServer` still uses plain HTTP, clients send the cloud token in cleartext in `Authorization`; a LAN observer can capture and replay it. Serve mutating routes over TLS or use a separate protected local credential.</violation>

<violation number="3" location="httpapi.go:148">

P1: Because startHTTPServer still uses plain HTTP, clients send the cloud token in cleartext in Authorization; a LAN observer can capture and replay it. Serve mutating routes over TLS or use a separate protected local credential.

P1: requireDeviceAuth fails open whenever a.config.CloudToken is empty, and that token is never set anywhere in this codebase, so in practice every mutating route (/api/modules/install runs install.sh as root, /api/modules/stop, PUT /api/config) remains anonymous to any LAN peer. That is exactly the gap this PR is meant to close. Consider failing closed for mutating routes when no token is provisioned (reject with 401 and require provisioning) rather than treating an unprovisioned device as an open door.

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This PR changes authentication and secret handling for root-level LAN management endpoints, including privileged module operations and bearer-token transport. Unresolved concerns include token exposure, fail-open access when unprovisioned, plaintext HTTP credentials, and config concurrency, so the production security behavior needs human review.

Not approved because:

  • Credit balance exhausted. Approvability relies on correctness review in order to determine eligibility

Fix All in Cursor

Bugbot Autofix prepared a fix for the issue found in the latest run.

  • ✅ Fixed: Existing config stays world-readable
    • Init now chmods an existing device.json to 0600 on load, and saveConfig chmods after WriteFile so token-bearing overwrites no longer leave a 0644 file world-readable.

Existing config stays world-readable

High Severity

os.WriteFile applies 0600 only when creating device.json. Provisioned devices already have this file at 0644, so later saves leave the cloud token world-readable. Init also loads an existing file without tightening its mode, so upgrades never hit the create path.
