Paul Nothaft cc49f6997a fix(auth): fail closed when the adminAuth roles join errors (stable) (#975)
Closes #968 on stable. Backport of #974.

The roles-join fallback in adminAuth fabricated role_name='super_admin' on ANY database error, so a transient fault silently granted super_admin for its duration. Gate it on isMissingRolesSchema(), moved to utils/dbErrors.js and shared with apiTokenAuth, with the predicate tightened to trust SQLSTATE 42P01/42703 on Postgres and exact driver phrasing on SQLite.

Paul NothaftandPaul Nothaft 4e99897313 fix(security): enforce event ownership on the v1 API surface (GHSA-9697) (stable) (#963)
* fix(security): enforce event ownership on the v1 API surface (GHSA-9697)

Migration 081 documents the intent — 'the token's effective permissions are
the intersection of the user's role permissions and the token's own scope
flags' — but it was never implemented.

- apiTokenAuth selected only id/username/email/role_id, so req.admin.roleName
  was undefined. Every ownership helper keys on roleName, so the v1 surface
  could not tell a super_admin from a demoted viewer. Now joins roles and
  emits the same req.admin shape adminAuth does, including the
  roles-table-missing upgrade fallback.
- No v1 route applied any ownership predicate: GET /events listed every event
  on the instance, and GET /events/:id/share-link returned ANY event's
  share_token — the gallery access credential, same class as GHSA-rh8r.
  List is now scoped via a new scopeEventsQuery helper; the three :id routes
  (detail, photo upload, share-link) use the existing requireEventOwnership.

Not a breaking change: tokens are minted by super_admins, who bypass
ownership. It closes the case where a token's owner is later demoted —
userManagementService never touches api_tokens, so the token outlived the
demotion with full read of every gallery's share token.

events.category.test.js stubbed apiTokenAuth without roleName; giving the
stub super_admin keeps requireEventOwnership from issuing a DB query and
desyncing that suite's sequenced dbMock.

* fix(security): codex round 2 — intersect v1 token scopes with role permissions (GHSA-9697)

Ownership scoping alone left half the documented control missing. Migration
081 defines a token's effective permissions as the INTERSECTION of the owner's
role permissions and the token's scope flags; requireApiScope only ever checked
the scope half. A token minted while its owner was super_admin therefore kept
write access after the owner was demoted to viewer — userManagementService
never touches api_tokens, so the token outlives the demotion, and ownership
scoping does not help because the demoted owner still owns their events.

Adds requirePermission to all six v1 routes (events.create on create,
events.view on the reads, photos.upload on upload). It keys on req.admin.id,
which apiTokenAuth already populates.

The two existing v1 suites mock the database, so a real permission lookup
500s — they now mock the permissions middleware as pass-through, matching how
they already mock apiTokenAuth. Those suites cover route logic; the
intersection is pinned by the new v1TokenPermissions suite.

* fix(security): codex round 3 — fail closed on the roles-join fallback (GHSA-9697)

The round-2 fix loaded the token owner's role so the v1 ownership checks could
tell a super_admin from a demoted viewer, and mirrored adminAuth's
roles-table-missing fallback. That fallback assigns role_name = 'super_admin',
and the catch around it was unconditional — so ANY failure of the joined query
(connection reset, deadlock, statement timeout) elevated the token owner to
super_admin as long as the simpler fallback query then succeeded. A restricted
owner could ride that into listing, reading and share-tokening every event on
the instance, which is the exact hole GHSA-9697 closes.

The fallback is now reached only for an error that genuinely names a missing
roles table/column (PG 42P01/42703 or the SQLite/MySQL wording); anything else
propagates to the 500 handler.

Paul Nothaft 081f3edcdf fix(security): close cross-event thumbnail leak, bulk-op ownership bypass, + hardening
Auth/access-control audit fixes (all pre-existing on main; none are
regressions). Verified end-to-end where noted.

HIGH
- Thumbnail enumeration: photoAuth granted any gallery token access to any
  flat /thumbnails/thumb_* file, so a visitor to one gallery could
  enumerate another (password-protected) gallery's entire thumbnail set.
  Scope thumbnail access to the token's event via photos.thumbnail_path.
  Live-verified: cross-event fetch now 404s, own-event still 200s.
- Bulk ownership bypass: bulk-archive/bulk-delete acted on body-supplied
  event ids with no owner filter (single-event routes enforce
  requireEventOwnership), letting admin/editor archive or cascade-delete
  any event. Add filterOwnedEventIds; also guard rename + import-external;
  tighten photo-retry to scope admin (not just editor). Fix misleading
  bulk-delete comment.

MED
- verifyGalleryAccess never checked decoded.type — assert 'gallery'
  instead of relying on other token types incidentally lacking eventId.
- secure-images generate-token/secure-download missing denySlideshowToken
  (#646 bypass): a leaked slideshow token could download originals.
- Frontend: AuthenticatedImage + api.ts attached the gallery bearer token
  to absolute/external URLs — only attach to relative same-app paths.

LOW hardening
- Pin algorithms:['HS256'] on all auth-boundary jwt.verify calls.
- crypto.timingSafeEqual for share-token + HMAC compares (utils/timingSafe).
- Remove dead photoAuth import in galleryFeedback.

Tests: new regression suites for thumbnail scoping + filterOwnedEventIds;
fixed verifyGalleryAccess.customerRevoke fixture (real customer tokens
carry type:'gallery'). Full backend suite at the pre-existing baseline
(5 suites/27 tests fail on main too), zero new failures.

Paul Nothaft b106da1ede fix(auth): /auth/session must enforce session timeout symmetrically (#350 recurrence)
Third loop fix in the same /admin/login → /admin/dashboard → /admin/login
pattern as #355 and #363. Reported on v3.39.1-beta.0 — the loop returns
after a server restart or after an idle gap longer than the configured
session timeout.

## Root cause (server)

`sessionTimeoutMiddleware` is mounted on `/api/admin` (server.js:411). It
rejects with `401 SESSION_TIMEOUT` when either:
  - the in-memory `lastActivity` for the token is older than the timeout, or
  - this is the first request with this token AND the token's `iat` is
    older than the timeout (post-restart guard).

`/auth/session` lives under `/api/auth/session`, NOT under `/api/admin`,
so the middleware never runs for it. Result: an idle/old-iat admin token
returns `valid: true` from `/auth/session` while every protected
endpoint immediately rejects it with `401 SESSION_TIMEOUT`. Frontend's
401 interceptor hard-redirects to `/admin/login`, `/auth/session` says
valid again, loop closes — exact same shape as the previous two
asymmetries the symmetry pass missed.

Fix: add a non-mutating `isSessionExpired(token, decoded)` helper to
`middleware/sessionTimeout.js` that reads the same in-memory map and
applies the same lastActivity / iat-vs-timeout logic as the middleware,
without updating the map (the middleware is the only place that records
activity; `/auth/session` is read-only by design). `/auth/session`
calls the helper for `decoded.type === 'admin'` after the existing
admin-existence and password-change checks. Same try/catch fall-through
pattern as the prior fixes so a missing/broken helper doesn't fail-closed
during early bootstrap or in test stubs.

## Root cause (client race amplifying the loop)

Even with the server fix, the previous `useSessionTimeout` hook called
`AdminAuthContext.logout()` which dispatches `POST /auth/logout`
fire-and-forget AND has its own `finally { window.location.href }`,
then immediately set `window.location.href = '/admin/login?session=expired'`
on top. Two consequences:
  - The cookie wasn't reliably cleared before the new page loaded —
    if any /auth/session asymmetry slipped through, the loop replayed
    inside the same tab. New-tab and "refresh several times" "fixes"
    were just the logout request eventually completing.
  - Two redirects raced; sometimes the `?session=expired` query was
    dropped, breaking the login-page toast.

Fix: rewrite the hook to (a) await `POST /auth/logout` so the cookie
is guaranteed cleared, (b) clear `sessionStorage.admin_user` directly
instead of going through AdminAuthContext.logout (which has the
side-effect redirect we don't want), and (c) navigate exactly once
with the `?session=expired` query.

## Tests

- `__tests__/routes/authSession.symmetry.test.js` — 4 new cases under
  a `session-timeout symmetry` describe block: helper says expired →
  valid:false; helper says active → valid:true; helper not called for
  gallery tokens; helper throws → fall through to valid:true (defensive).
  Existing 9 tests still pass (mock now includes
  `isSessionExpired: jest.fn(() => Promise.resolve(false))` as the
  default).
- `__tests__/middleware/sessionTimeout.isSessionExpired.test.js` — 7
  new unit tests for the helper itself: fresh token / old-iat /
  recently-active / null-input / no-mutation / 60-min default
  boundary cases.

20 cases total, all green. Lint clean on every touched file.
