Paul Nothaft ed08ff84ff fix(security): bound password input before zxcvbn, and drop the legacy media mounts
Two findings from the GHSA-pwx6-5pqc-c5xq scan bundle, both verified against
the code and reproduced before fixing.

**Unauthenticated denial of service via password strength (csf_495d53fa).**
POST /api/auth/password-strength takes `body('password').notEmpty()` with no
upper bound, sits behind express.json({ limit: '50mb' }), and hands the string
to zxcvbn, whose matching is superlinear and runs synchronously on the event
loop. Measured on this codebase, in ms of blocked loop: 128 -> 41, 512 -> 1367,
1000 -> 5097, 5000 -> did not return in two minutes. One unauthenticated
request of about a kilobyte stops the whole process for five seconds; a few
kilobytes stops it indefinitely. The /api/auth rate limit does not help when a
single request is already enough.

The cap lives in validatePassword() so it covers every caller, present and
future; the route validator is defence in depth. 128 keeps the worst case at
the cost of an ordinary request while staying far above any real password --
bcrypt consumes only the first 72 bytes, so length past that adds no entropy to
the stored hash anyway. This is the only unauthenticated reach into zxcvbn:
setup is token-gated and self-closing, and acceptInvite/adminAuth use the
regex-only validator in passwordGenerator.

**The /photos and /thumbnails static mounts (csf_9aa6afe6, csf_559cd5cc,
csf_b14d462e, csf_547d26fa, and the gallery half of csf_34e420af).**
They served the raw originals and thumbnail trees behind photoAuth, which
authorises on a slug match. A static file server cannot apply per-photo rules,
so everything the gallery API decides was absent: allow_downloads, per-category
allow_downloads, watermarking, the resolution cap, reveal-mode windows,
visibility='hidden', download logging, and the customer-assignment re-check
that makes revocation immediate. photoAuth also bcrypt-compares an
x-gallery-password header per request with no limiter -- both rate-limit gates
return early for non-/api paths -- so the mount was an unmetered password
oracle. The filenames needed to drive all of this are handed to every guest in
the photos listing.

Nothing builds these URLs: no reference in frontend/src, none in the email
templates, and the only backend mentions are the /api/admin/photos/... API
routes and a maintenance-mode prefix list. The equivalent authorised routes are
/api/gallery/:slug/photo/:id and /thumbnail/:id. nginx still proxies the two
locations; they now 404, which is the intent.

**The /uploads mount (csf_1fc92f57).** It exposed the whole uploads/ root with
no auth middleware at all, and that root also holds signed contract PDFs
(uploads/contracts/signed) and client transfer files (uploads/transfers/<id>),
reachable by anyone who learned or guessed a filename. Narrowed to the two
public asset trees it exists for; contracts and transfers keep their own
authorised routes.

Removing the mounts leaves src/middleware/photoAuth.js unreferenced by
application code. Left in place deliberately -- deleting it and its tests is a
separate cleanup, and a smaller diff backports more safely.

Backend suite: 2742 passed.

    • Can test against MinIO, AWS S3, or any S3-compatible service
    • Tests all backup types (S3, local, rsync)
    • Performance testing with large files
    • Detailed progress reporting

Running Tests

Prerequisites

  1. For Unit Tests: No special setup required, all dependencies are mocked.

  2. For Integration Tests: Requires a running S3-compatible service (MinIO recommended)

    # Start MinIO using Docker
    docker run -d \
      -p 9000:9000 \
      -p 9001:9001 \
      --name minio-test \
      -e MINIO_ROOT_USER=minioadmin \
      -e MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD=minioadmin \
      minio/minio server /data --console-address ":9001"
    
  3. Environment Variables (for integration tests):

    # Optional - defaults work with local MinIO
    export TEST_S3_ENDPOINT=http://localhost:9000
    export TEST_S3_ACCESS_KEY=minioadmin
    export TEST_S3_SECRET_KEY=minioadmin
    
    # Skip S3 tests if no S3 service available
    export SKIP_S3_TESTS=true
    

Running Unit Tests

# Run all backup service tests
npm test -- __tests__/services/backupService.enhanced.test.js

# Run specific test suite
npm test -- __tests__/services/backupService.enhanced.test.js -t "S3 Backup Functionality"

# Run with coverage
npm test -- --coverage __tests__/services/backupService.enhanced.test.js

Running Integration Tests

# Ensure MinIO is running first!

# Run S3 integration tests
npm test -- __tests__/integration/backup-s3.test.js

# Run with verbose output
npm test -- __tests__/integration/backup-s3.test.js --verbose

# Skip S3 tests if needed
SKIP_S3_TESTS=true npm test -- __tests__/integration/backup-s3.test.js

Running Manual Integration Tests

# Test with local MinIO (default)
node scripts/test-backup-integration.js

# Test with AWS S3
node scripts/test-backup-integration.js \

Mock Setup

The unit tests use comprehensive mocking:

// Database mocking
jest.mock('../../src/database/db');

// S3 client mocking
jest.mock('../../src/services/storage/s3Storage');

// File system mocking
const mockFs = require('mock-fs');

// Cron job mocking
jest.mock('node-cron');

CI/CD Integration

To run tests in CI/CD pipeline:

# Example GitHub Actions
- name: Run Unit Tests
  run: npm test -- __tests__/services/backupService.enhanced.test.js

- name: Start MinIO
  run: |
    docker run -d \
      -p 9000:9000 \
      --name minio-test \
      -e MINIO_ROOT_USER=minioadmin \
      -e MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD=minioadmin \
      minio/minio server /data

- name: Run Integration Tests
  run: npm test -- __tests__/integration/backup-s3.test.js

Debugging Tests

# Run tests in debug mode
node --inspect-brk ./node_modules/.bin/jest __tests__/services/backupService.enhanced.test.js

# Run single test with console output
npm test -- __tests__/services/backupService.enhanced.test.js -t "should perform S3 backup" --verbose

Performance Considerations

  • Integration tests create real files and S3 objects
  • Each test run creates a unique S3 bucket to avoid conflicts
  • Cleanup is automatic but can be disabled for debugging
  • Large file tests (10MB+) are included but can be slow

Adding New Tests

When adding new backup features:

  1. Add unit tests to backupService.enhanced.test.js
  2. Add integration tests to backup-s3.test.js if S3-specific
  3. Update manual test script for comprehensive testing
  4. Ensure mocks are properly configured
  5. Document any new environment requirements
