feat: debounce forced-reload trigger endpoints (PER-15248)

[dshoen619]

What & why

Closes PER-15248.

Even with auth enforced (PER-15244/45/46), a valid-token caller or a buggy SDK can hammer the forced-reload trigger endpoints, each of which forces a full re-pull from the shared control plane — a load-amplification vector across the fleet. This adds a small per-updater debounce so redundant/concurrent forced reloads coalesce instead of amplifying.

There are four amplifying routes, not two (the issue lists two): the OPAL-mounted POST /policy-updater/trigger and POST /data-updater/trigger, plus the PDP's legacy aliases POST /update_policy and POST /update_policy_data, which call the same two updater methods directly. All four are now debounced.

How

• horizon/debounce.py — DebouncedTrigger: per-updater coalescing. Monotonic-clock window check; an in-flight guard that collapses concurrent triggers into the running pull regardless of the window (a full pull can run for minutes under a degraded control plane, so a time-window alone would still admit a concurrent pull every N seconds); _last_fired recorded only on success, so a failed pull doesn't burn the window; None (never 0.0) sentinel so the first trigger on a freshly booted host isn't silently coalesced.
• horizon/pdp.py: the OPAL-mounted handlers are closures we can't intercept, and a FastAPI dependency can't short-circuit to a 200 no-op — so we remove the two OPAL routes and re-register PDP-owned, enforce_pdp_token-gated, debounced replacements at the same paths (fail-loud if a path is missing, preserving the old guard's safety). The two legacy aliases share the same per-updater debouncers, so an alternating hammer still coalesces. This retires the previous _gate_opal_trigger_routes dependant-surgery.
• horizon/config.py: PDP_TRIGGER_DEBOUNCE_SECONDS (default 10.0; 0 disables; remote-config overridable fleet-wide, so ops can raise it to 30–60s under a degraded control plane without a release).

Decisions & scope

• Descoped /kong (issue lists it as optional): /kong resolves against the local OPA cache (horizon/enforcer/api.py), so hammering it loads only that one PDP — no control-plane amplification, which is the entire threat model here. It also needs a different control (a genuine per-request rate limit), not a debounce that would return stale authz decisions. If local self-DoS on /kong is a concern, it should be its own issue.
• "Pick N from the OPAL polling cadence" — there is no polling cadence; this PDP is pubsub-driven. Used a fixed, configurable, conservative default instead.
• Semantic shift (data route): previously a 200 from /data-updater/trigger meant the inline base-data fetch had completed; with debouncing a 200 now means "a recent or in-flight pull already covers you." Body stays exactly {"status": "ok"} so SDKs never error-spiral. The policy route already had fire-and-forget 200 semantics (queue put). A disabled data updater still returns 503, checked before the debouncer so a 503 never consumes the window.

Tests

New horizon/tests/test_trigger_debounce.py (12 tests): within-window coalescing (policy + data + canonical/legacy sharing one debouncer), fires-again-after-window, 0 disables, in-flight coalescing past the window, failed pull doesn't burn the window, 503-before-debouncer, per-updater independence, per-instance state, and auth still enforced. Full suite green (130 passed); ruff check + ruff format --check clean.

⚠️ Draft — rebase pending

Based on origin/main before #326 (PER-15250) merged. #326 adds tests asserting the exact updater kwargs this change preserves (force_full_update=True, data_fetch_reason="request from sdk" / "…(legacy alias)"). Rebase onto main after #326 lands (minor docstring overlap in test_opal_trigger_auth.py) and re-run the gates before marking ready.

Reviewed by a backend-architect pass over the diff (verdict: ship) confirming the in-flight guard has no interleaving await, the success-only timestamp holds, and the debouncer is reachable only from the 4 routes (internal OPAL pubsub/reconnect resync bypasses it).

These limits are enforced for multipart/form-data, but silently ignored for application/x-www-form-urlencoded. An unauthenticated attacker can therefore send a urlencoded body with an arbitrarily large number of fields or an arbitrarily large field, even when the application configured limits it believed would apply. Details request.form() dispatches to a different parser depending on the Content-Type. For multipart/form-data the max_files, max_fields, and max_part_size limits are forwarded to the parser, but for application/x-www-form-urlencoded the parser is constructed without them. It has no max_fields or max_part_size parameter to receive them, and it appends every field with no count check and accumulates each field's name and value with no size check. The configured limits are therefore both unreachable and unenforced for url-encoded bodies. Because the url-encoded parser does its work synchronously between stream reads, the two attack shapes have different effects: Field count drives CPU and event-loop blocking. A body of ~1,000,000 fields (a sub-10MB payload such as f0=v&f1=v&...) blocks the worker's event loop for several seconds while parsing, during which the worker serves no other request. Field size drives memory. A single large field value (e.g. a 50MB value) is buffered in full to build the FormData, forcing memory allocation proportional to the request body. The equivalent multipart/form-data request is correctly rejected with 400 Too many fields / 400 Field exceeded maximum size. Impact This Denial of service (DoS) vulnerability affects all applications built with Starlette (or FastAPI) that call request.form() on application/x-www-form-urlencoded requests. A single request with a very large number of fields blocks the event loop for several seconds, and a single request with a very large field forces unbounded memory allocation; in either case, parallel requests can render the service unusable. A reverse proxy that enforces a request body size limit reduces but does not eliminate the exposure, since a sub-10MB body is already enough to block the event loop. Mitigation Upgrade to a patched version, which forwards max_fields and max_part_size to the url-encoded parser and enforces them while parsing, raising before the oversized field or excess fields are accumulated. The defaults match multipart/form-data (max_fields=1000, max_part_size=1MB) and can be customized via request.form(max_fields=..., max_part_size=...). Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) Affected range <1.1.0 Fixed version 1.1.0 CVSS Score 7.5 CVSS Vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N EPSS Score 0.368% EPSS Percentile 29th percentile Description Summary When serving static files on Windows, StaticFiles resolves the requested path with os.path.realpath. If a UNC path (such as \\attacker.com\share) reaches the resolver, realpath causes the process to open a connection to the remote host over SMB (port 445). This is a server-side request forgery (SSRF) that leaks the service account's NTLMv2 credentials to the attacker-controlled host, which can then be cracked offline or relayed to other hosts. Details StaticFiles.lookup_path() joins the requested path onto the served directory and calls os.path.realpath on the result before checking containment with os.path.commonpath. On Windows, a UNC path is absolute, so os.path.join discards the served directory and realpath resolves the bare UNC path, triggering the outbound SMB connection and NTLM authentication before the containment check rejects the path. The HTTP response is a benign 404, but the credential disclosure has already happened. POSIX systems are not affected. This only affects the default configuration (follow_symlink=False), which uses os.path.realpath. The follow_symlink=True branch uses os.path.abspath, which performs no I/O. Impact Applications running on Windows that serve files with StaticFiles (directly, or via a framework built on Starlette such as FastAPI) in the default configuration are affected. StaticFiles is typically unauthenticated, so any client can trigger the SMB connection and leak the service account's NTLMv2 hash. A secondary impact is discovering internal hosts reachable over SMB by timing responses for valid versus invalid addresses. Mitigation Applications not running on Windows are not affected. On Windows, serving static files through a dedicated web server (such as nginx or IIS) instead of StaticFiles avoids the issue. Blocking outbound SMB (port 445) from the application host prevents the credential disclosure even if a UNC path is resolved. Improper Validation of Unsafe Equivalence in Input Affected range <=1.0.0 Fixed version 1.0.1 CVSS Score 6.5 CVSS Vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N EPSS Score 1.438% EPSS Percentile 70th percentile Description Summary In affected versions, the HTTP Host request header was not validated before being used to reconstruct request.url. Because the routing algorithm relies on the raw HTTP path while request.url is rebuilt from the Host header, a malformed header could make request.url.path differ from the path that was actually requested. Middleware and endpoints that apply security restrictions based on request.url (rather than the raw scope path) could therefore be bypassed. Details When a client requests http://example.com/foo, it sends: GET /foo HTTP/1.1 Host: example.com Affected versions reconstructed the URL by concatenating http://{host}{path} and re-parsing the result. The Host value is only valid as a uri-host [ ":" port ] per RFC 9112 §3.2, where uri-host follows the restricted host grammar of RFC 3986 §3.2.2. When it contains characters outside that grammar - notably /, ?, or # - those characters move the path/query/fragment boundaries during re-parsing, so the parsed request.url.path no longer matches the path the server actually received. For example: GET /foo HTTP/1.1 Host: example.com/abc?bar= reconstructs to http://example.com/abc?bar=/foo, whose parsed path is /abc - even though routing used the real path /foo. The router still dispatches to /foo and the endpoint executes, but any middleware or code that reads request.url.path sees /abc, so path-based authorization checks can be bypassed. Impact Any application running an affected version that relies on request.url (or request.url.path) for security-sensitive decisions is affected. The most common case is middleware that gates access to certain path prefixes based on request.url.path. Deployments fronted by a proxy or load balancer are mitigated only if that proxy rejects or normalizes the malformed Host header before forwarding and the application does not trust attacker-controlled host headers (e.g. X-Forwarded-Host) elsewhere. Mitigation Upgrade to a patched version, which validates the Host header against the grammar of RFC 9112 §3.2 / RFC 3986 §3.2.2 when constructing request.url and falls back to scope["server"] for malformed values. Use of Externally-Controlled Input to Select Classes or Code ('Unsafe Reflection') Affected range <1.1.0 Fixed version 1.1.0 CVSS Score 5.3 CVSS Vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N EPSS Score 0.213% EPSS Percentile 12th percentile Description Summary When dispatching a request, HTTPEndpoint selects the handler by lowercasing the HTTP method and looking it up as an attribute with getattr, without restricting the lookup to a known set of HTTP verbs. When an HTTPEndpoint subclass is registered through Route(...) without an explicit methods= argument, the route does not constrain the method and every method reaches the endpoint. If a non-standard HTTP method whose lowercased name matches an attribute on the endpoint subclass reaches the endpoint, that attribute is invoked as if it were a request handler. An attacker can use this to reach methods that were never meant to be HTTP handlers, such as internal helpers, without the authorization checks applied by the intended public handler. Details HTTPEndpoint uses the client-supplied method name to resolve an instance attribute, without validating it against the set of HTTP verbs the endpoint supports. A method such as _DO_DELETE therefore resolves an attribute like _do_delete and invokes it. Non-standard methods are valid RFC 9110 token methods, so an endpoint must not treat the method name as a trusted attribute selector. Impact An application is affected when all of the following hold: It defines an HTTPEndpoint subclass and registers it via Route(...) without an explicit methods= argument. The subclass defines additional methods whose names match a non-standard HTTP-method token shape and that accept a single request argument and return a response. This also affects frameworks built on Starlette, like FastAPI. Mitigation Register HTTPEndpoint subclasses with an explicit methods= argument on the Route, listing only the HTTP verbs the endpoint supports. The route then rejects any other method with 405 Method Not Allowed before it reaches the endpoint, so non-standard methods cannot resolve an attribute.

Because request.url is rebuilt by concatenating {scheme}://{host}{path} and re-parsing the result, a path that does not begin with / (for example @<!-- -->google.com) moves the authority boundary during re-parsing, so request.url.hostname and request.url.netloc become attacker-controlled. Code that reads request.url.hostname (rather than the Host header or scope) can therefore be misled into trusting an attacker-supplied host. Details When a client requests a path that does not start with /: GET @<!-- -->google.com HTTP/1.1 Host: localhost affected versions reconstruct the URL as http://localhost@<!-- -->google.com. Per RFC 3986 §3.2.1, the substring before @ in the authority is userinfo, so re-parsing yields username = "localhost" and hostname = "google.com", with an empty path: request.url == "http://localhost@<!-- -->google.com" request.url.hostname == "google.com" request.url.path == "" The root cause is that the path is concatenated directly after the host without a separating /, and without validating that it begins with one. Only the Host header was validated when constructing request.url; the path was not. This requires an ASGI server that forwards a request-target lacking a leading / into scope["path"]. Impact Any application running an affected version that uses request.url, request.url.netloc, or request.url.hostname for a security-sensitive decision (host-based authorization, redirect/callback base, SSRF target, cache key, audit log) may be affected, when no fronting proxy or load balancer rejects the malformed request-target first. Note that this is less exploitable than GHSA-86qp-5c8j-p5mr: there, the poison is carried in the Host header, so the real path still routes to a valid endpoint while request.url.path lies. Here, the poison must be carried in the path itself, and that path (@<!-- -->google.com) does not match any registered route, so routing returns 404 and no endpoint handler runs. The exposure is limited to code that reads request.url before routing - notably middleware - or in 404/exception handlers. Mitigation Upgrade to a patched version, which prevents the request path from crossing into the URL authority. The request above instead yields http://localhost/@<!-- -->google.com with request.url.hostname == "localhost".

oras.land/oras-go/v2 2.6.1 (golang) pkg:golang/oras.land/oras-go/v2@2.6.1 Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') Affected range <=2.6.1 Fixed version Not Fixed CVSS Score 7.1 CVSS Vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N Description Root cause The tar-extraction helper ensureLinkPath at content/file/utils.go:262-275 validates that a hardlink's target resolves inside the extract base, but then returns the original unresolved target string back to the caller: func ensureLinkPath(baseAbs, baseRel, link, target string) (string, error) { path := target if !filepath.IsAbs(target) { path = filepath.Join(filepath.Dir(link), target) // resolved FOR VALIDATION } if _, err := resolveRelToBase(baseAbs, baseRel, path); err != nil { return "", err } return target, nil // <-- returns the ORIGINAL target, not the validated path } The caller for TypeLink hardlinks then does: case tar.TypeLink: var target string if target, err = ensureLinkPath(dirPath, dirName, filePath, header.Linkname); err == nil { err = os.Link(target, filePath) } os.Link(oldname, newname) wraps the link(2) system call. From the link(2) man page: oldpath and newpath are interpreted relative to the current working directory of the calling process. So when target (i.e., header.Linkname) is a relative path, os.Link resolves it against the process's current working directory, not against filepath.Dir(link) as the validation assumed. Attack An attacker who controls an OCI-compliant registry (or any artifact source the victim consumes via oras pull) crafts a tarball layer with: A regular file: payload.tar.gz/README.txt. A hardlink entry: Typeflag=TypeLink, Name=payload.tar.gz/evil_cwd_link, Linkname="victim.secret" (relative). and marks the layer descriptor with io.deis.oras.content.unpack: "true" (a standard annotation that tells oras-go to auto-extract). When a victim runs oras pull (or any Go code using content.File), the extraction: Validates payload.tar.gz/evil_cwd_link — passes. Calls ensureLinkPath(dirPath, "payload.tar.gz", filePath, "victim.secret"): path = filepath.Join(filepath.Dir(filePath), "victim.secret") = <extract_base>/payload.tar.gz/victim.secret → inside base → validation passes. Returns target = "victim.secret" (NOT path). Calls os.Link("victim.secret", "<extract_base>/payload.tar.gz/evil_cwd_link"). link(2) resolves relative oldname="victim.secret" against process CWD → creates a hardlink inside the extract tree pointing to <invoker_CWD>/victim.secret. The resulting hardlink and the CWD file share an inode — reading one reads the other; writing to one writes to the other. Proof of Concept Tested on Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS with oras CLI v1.3.0 (SHA-256 040e140304b7dbdd9b40dacd798e2303cea44ad84eeb210750afdf15f1dcf8b4, downloaded from https://github.com/oras-project/oras/releases/download/v1.3.0/oras_1.3.0_linux_amd64.tar.gz).

Push to OCI layout, patch in the unpack annotation, pull from cwd-space. (cd cwd-space && oras push --oci-layout ../layout:v1 \ payload.tar.gz:application/vnd.oci.image.layer.v1.tar+gzip) # ... patch layout/blobs/sha256/<manifest> to add # io.deis.oras.content.unpack: "true" on layers[0].annotations ...

Impact Primary: arbitrary-CWD-file read primitive. An attacker-controlled OCI artifact, when pulled by a victim using the oras CLI or any Go program using oras-go/v2/content/file, can create a hardlink inside the victim's extract tree pointing to an arbitrary file in the victim's process CWD (that the invoker UID is permitted to read). Reading the extract-tree hardlink yields that file's contents verbatim. Secondary: inode-sharing tampering primitive. Any tool that later modifies the extract-tree hardlink (write, chmod, truncate, etc.) modifies the CWD file through the shared inode. This violates the "writes inside the extract dir are confined" invariant that downstream tooling (CI systems, container-image builders, artifact scanners) typically depends on. High-severity chains: CI pipelines where oras pull runs from a project workspace containing secrets/credentials (.env, .git/config, service-account tokens). The pulled artifact can hardlink those secrets into a location later archived/mounted/published. Container orchestration where the extract dir is bind-mounted into a lower-trust container while the pull-invoker's CWD is higher-trust. Hardlinks created in the extract tree expose invoker-CWD files across the trust boundary. Kubernetes operators / Flux source-controller using oras-go to fetch artifacts; their CWD is typically / or /root — very sensitive. Multi-tenant registry proxies that use oras-go to fetch and re-serve artifacts; each proxy process has a CWD with configuration, keys, or per-tenant state. Not affected: oras push (tarball creation side): tarDirectory in the same file explicitly skips hardlink generation (line 65 comment: "We don't support hard links and treat it as regular files"), so pushed content cannot trigger this on the server. Symlink extraction path (TypeSymlink): os.Symlink stores the target string verbatim and does not CWD-resolve at creation time. The current ensureLinkPath return-of-target is correct for symlinks (the existing validation correctly models the symlink-follow path). Attack-surface boundary (fs.protected_hardlinks) On Linux with fs.protected_hardlinks=1 (default on modern distros), link(2) additionally requires the linking user to have READ + WRITE permission on the source file (per may_linkat() in the kernel). Verified on Ubuntu 24.04: as non-root, ln /etc/passwd /tmp/x returns EPERM, and the same via the oras PoC path returns link passwd /tmp/.../evil_passwd: operation not permitted. So the attacker cannot use this bug to read arbitrary root-owned files (e.g., /etc/shadow) when the victim invokes oras pull as a regular user. The attack surface depends on the invocation context: Invocation context Reachable file classes oras pull run by a regular user Any file the user OWNS or has write access to in the process CWD: .env, .git/config, .aws/credentials, ~/.ssh/config, project-local secrets, CI workspace files. oras pull run as root (systemd without User=, container entrypoint default root, Kubernetes operator) Every file on the host filesystem. /etc/shadow, /root/.ssh/id_rsa, bind-mounted host paths, service private keys. The user-context attack surface alone is sufficient for supply-chain-grade impact: CI pipelines and developer machines routinely hold API keys, signing keys, and cloud credentials in user-owned files in the working directory. The root-context escalation makes the bug Critical in mainstream Kubernetes/GitOps tooling where oras-go is adopted for artifact distribution. Proposed fix Change ensureLinkPath to expose both the verbatim target (for symlinks) and the resolved absolute path (for hardlinks); have the TypeLink case use the resolved path. // Current behavior preserved for TypeSymlink. TypeLink switches to the resolved // path to avoid CWD-resolution mismatch at os.Link time. func ensureLinkPath(baseAbs, baseRel, link, target string) (symlinkTarget, hardlinkPath string, err error) { path := target if !filepath.IsAbs(target) { path = filepath.Join(filepath.Dir(link), target) } if _, err = resolveRelToBase(baseAbs, baseRel, path); err != nil { return "", "", err } return target, path, nil } case tar.TypeLink: var absTarget string if _, absTarget, err = ensureLinkPath(dirPath, dirName, filePath, header.Linkname); err == nil { err = os.Link(absTarget, filePath) } case tar.TypeSymlink: var symTarget string symTarget, _, err = ensureLinkPath(dirPath, dirName, filePath, header.Linkname) if err != nil { return err } if err = os.Symlink(symTarget, filePath); err != nil { ... } Regression test to add: Extend Test_extractTarDirectory_HardLink with a third sub-test that: Creates a sentinel file in the test's t.TempDir() (or an explicitly os.Chdir-entered directory) with a known name, e.g. sentinel.txt. Builds a tarball containing a TypeLink entry with Linkname: "sentinel.txt" (relative). Extracts. Asserts either extractTarDirectory returned an error, OR the resulting hardlink's inode does NOT match the sentinel's inode.

The implementation builds an http.Header for the corresponding http.Request or http.Response, while only enforcing limits on the size of the QPACK-compressed HEADERS frame, not on the decoded field section. This can lead to memory exhaustion. This is very similar to CVE-2025-64702. The difference is that this issue uses HTTP trailers, rather than HTTP headers, as the attack vector. Impact A misbehaving or malicious peer can cause a denial-of-service (DoS) attack against quic-go's HTTP/3 servers or clients by triggering excessive memory allocation, potentially leading to crashes or resource exhaustion. This affects both servers and clients due to symmetric header construction. Details In HTTP/3, field sections are compressed using QPACK (RFC 9204). Field sections are used for both HTTP headers and trailers. quic-go's HTTP/3 server and client decode the QPACK-encoded HEADERS frame into header fields, then construct an http.Request or http.Response. http3.Server.MaxHeaderBytes and http3.Transport.MaxResponseHeaderBytes limit the encoded HEADERS frame size, with defaults of 1 MB for servers and 10 MB for clients. However, they did not limit the decoded field section size. A maliciously crafted HEADERS frame carrying trailers can expand to about 50x the encoded size using QPACK static table entries with long names and/or values. RFC 9114 requires endpoints to enforce decoded field section size limits via SETTINGS, which quic-go did not do for trailers. The Fix quic-go now enforces RFC 9114 decoded field section size limits for trailers as well. It incrementally decodes QPACK entries and checks the field section size after each entry, aborting the stream if an entry causes the limit to be exceeded.

github.com/refraction-networking/utls 1.7.3 (golang) pkg:golang/github.com/refraction-networking/utls@1.7.3 Use of a Cryptographic Primitive with a Risky Implementation Affected range >=1.6.0 <1.8.1 Fixed version 1.8.1 CVSS Score 2.3 CVSS Vector CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:H/AT:N/PR:N/UI:P/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N EPSS Score 0.154% EPSS Percentile 5th percentile Description There is a fingerprint mismatch with Chrome when using GREASE ECH, having to do with ciphersuite selection. When Chrome selects the preferred ciphersuite in the outer ClientHello and the ciphersuite for ECH, it does so consistently based on hardware support. That means, for example, if it prefers AES for the outer ciphersuite, it would also use AES for ECH. The Chrome parrot in utls hardcodes AES preference for outer ciphersuites but selects the ECH ciphersuite randomly between AES and ChaCha20. So there is a 50% chance of selecting ChaCha20 for ECH while using AES for the outer ciphersuite, which is impossible in Chrome. This is only a problem in GREASE ECH, since in real ECH Chrome selects the first valid ciphersuite when AES is preferred, which is the same in utls. So no change is done there.

Chrome removed this extension only when sending pq keyshares. Only this fingerprint is affected since newer fingerprints have pq keyshares by default and older fingerprints have this extension.

Pull request overview

This PR adds per-updater debouncing/coalescing to the PDP’s forced-reload trigger endpoints to prevent authenticated callers (or buggy SDKs) from repeatedly forcing full control-plane repulls, and replaces OPAL’s trigger-route handlers with PDP-owned gated/debounced equivalents.

Changes:

• Introduces a DebouncedTrigger utility to coalesce trigger calls within a configurable window and while a reload is in-flight.
• Replaces OPAL-mounted POST /policy-updater/trigger and POST /data-updater/trigger routes with PDP-owned, enforce_pdp_token-gated, debounced handlers; legacy aliases share the same debouncers.
• Adds TRIGGER_DEBOUNCE_SECONDS configuration (remote-config overridable) and new end-to-end behavior tests for coalescing semantics.
