Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Internet IP checks now request IPv4 over HTTPS with time limits, preventing slow lookups from waiting indefinitely.
    • Pending “Device Down” notifications are cleared consistently across time zones.
    • Malformed workflow configuration is handled more safely: invalid entries are skipped, and non-list content loads no workflows.
  • Security
    • Session cookies now use SameSite=Lax and HttpOnly.
    • Workflow files can no longer be replaced through POST requests; non-GET requests receive a 405 response.
  • Documentation
    • Added Docker and Synology guidance for unsupported capability settings, device visibility, and ARPSCAN permission issues.
    • Removed donation addresses and an email contact from the Docker installation guide.
  • Configuration
    • Default NMAP scan arguments now include privileged mode.

Walkthrough

The pull request updates IP fallback requests, notification cutoff handling, PHP endpoint and session behavior, workflow loading, and NMAP defaults. It also updates installation guidance, runtime paths, Docker test images, and development conventions.

Changes: IP fallback request

Layer / File(s) Summary
Bounded curl request and validation
server/plugins/internet_ip/script.py, test/plugins/test_internet_ip_fallback.py
fallback_check_ip forces IPv4 and uses HTTPS with connection, request, and subprocess timeouts. Tests cover request options, IPv4 and IPv6 responses, and subprocess errors.

Pending notification cleanup

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared UTC cutoff and regression tests
server/conf.py, server/messaging/reporting.py, server/messaging/notification_sections.py, server/models/notification_instance.py, test/backend/test_notification_down_clear_timezone.py, test/backend/test_notification_orphaned_events.py, test/integration/integration_test.py
get_notifications computes and stores a UTC cutoff for “Device Down” events. The query and pending-event cleanup use that cutoff. Tests cover event age, time zones, and the cutoff recorded at selection.

PHP and workflow safeguards

Layer / File(s) Summary
JSON endpoint and session cookie controls
front/php/server/query_json.php, front/php/templates/auth.php, front/php/templates/security.php, test/backend/test_query_json_write_surface.py, CLAUDE.md
The JSON endpoint no longer accepts POST writes and returns Allow: GET for non-GET methods. Both session starters configure SameSite=Lax and HttpOnly. Tests and conventions describe these controls.
Workflow JSON validation
server/workflows/manager.py, test/backend/test_workflows.py, CLAUDE.md
Workflow loading returns no workflows for non-list JSON and skips non-object entries. Tests cover both cases.

Network scanning and permission guidance

Layer / File(s) Summary
NMAP defaults and permission troubleshooting
server/plugins/nmap_dev_scan/config.json, docs/DOCKER_INSTALLATION.md, docs/SYNOLOGY_GUIDE.md
The recommended NMAP arguments include --privileged. The guides describe the two-device symptom and Synology ARPSCAN permission error, and provide privileged or root execution guidance. The Docker support section removes donation addresses and an email contact.

Runtime and Docker test updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Python site-packages paths
.devcontainer/scripts/setup.sh, install/production-filesystem/README.md
The development setup script and installation documentation use Python 3.14 site-packages paths.
Docker test helper images
test/docker_tests/conftest.py, test/docker_tests/test_container_environment.py, test/docker_tests/test_puid_pgid.py
Docker test helper containers use Alpine 3.24 instead of Alpine 3.22.

Possibly related issues

  • netalertx/NetAlertX#1852: The default NMAP arguments now include --privileged, matching the reported issue with unprivileged NMAP execution.

Possibly related PRs

  • netalertx/NetAlertX#1857: Both PRs update Alpine and Python versions. This PR updates test helper images and documented site-package paths; PR #1857 updates Docker build and runtime paths.

Add a docstring to _volume_has_file.

This change touches _volume_has_file, but the function has no succinct docstring. Add a one- or two-sentence docstring that describes its file-existence check.

Bound the configured interval before calculating the cutoff.

If NTFPRCS_alert_down_time is 2147483647, the subtraction raises OverflowError. The setting has no configured maximum, and the exception escapes the main loop, stopping monitoring until the configuration is corrected. Validate the interval or handle an out-of-range cutoff.
