chore(linters): new linter limiting gRPC authorizer to specific ones - #23473
rhybrillou wants to merge 1 commit into
Conversation
New roxvet static analysis linter (authfuncoverride) that enforces a specific structure on methods named AuthFuncOverride on pointer receivers: - Signature: func (*T) AuthFuncOverride(ctx context.Context, fullMethodName string) (context.Context, error) - Body: exactly `return ctx, <authorizer>.Authorized(ctx, fullMethodName)` - An extensible AuthorizerVerifier hook; UserAuthorizerVerifier restricts the authorizer expression to known safe constructors. Supported leaf constructors (no argument validation needed): - user.WithRole, user.With, user.Authenticated (pkg/grpc/authz/user) - allow.Anonymous (pkg/grpc/authz/allow) - deny.Everyone (pkg/grpc/authz/deny) - or.ScannerV4 (pkg/grpc/authz/or) - idcheck.CentralOnly, SensorsOnly, SensorRegistrantsOnly, ScannerOnly, ScannerV4IndexerOnly, ScannerV4MatcherOnly, CollectorOnly, AdmissionControlOnly (pkg/grpc/authz/idcheck) Supported composite constructors (arguments recursively validated): - or.Or(...), and.And(...) — variadic, all args must be valid - or.SensorOr(a), or.ScannerOr(a) — single arg must be valid - perrpc.FromMap(m) — all map keys must be valid Named package-level variables are traced to their initializer; inline call expressions are checked directly. Cross-package variables are conservatively rejected. AI-assisted change. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Explanation
The description is detailed and follows the required template. It explains the linter, supported constructors, documentation status, testing additions, and validation intent. CI inspection and successful test runs remain unchecked, but these omissions do not make the description largely incomplete.

⚠️ Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.Move the runtime reflection helpers out of the linter package.
IsWithRoleandIsAllowedAuthorizerare documented as "not in the static linter", yet they live in the linter package. Because of them, theroxvetbinary imports the realpkg/grpc/authz/*packages, including their dependency trees and anyinitside effects. TheallowedConcreteTypesinitializer also calls those constructors at startup. The static verifier does not need any of this, because it compares package paths only. Move these helpers into a package underpkg/grpc/authz(or a test helper) so the linter stays dependency-free.Also applies to: 67-106

Fix or exempt existing AuthFuncOverride methods before enabling this analyzer.
Existing methods in sensor/common/filesystem/service/service_impl.go, sensor/common/deployment/service_impl.go, and scanner/services/matcher.go do not match the required single-statement body. The registered analyzer will report these methods, which can fail the roxvet CI step.
Fix the affected methods or exclude them from this analyzer before merging.

Reject mutable authorizer variables in UserAuthorizerVerifier.
When NewAnalyzer(UserAuthorizerVerifier) analyzes an identifier, the verifier checks only the matching var initializer. A local or package-level variable can therefore start with an allowed constructor, be reassigned to a custom authorizer, and still pass without a diagnostic.
Restrict accepted identifiers to unexported package-level *types.Var values. Reject any same-package assignment, increment/decrement, or address-taking use. A same-package scan cannot detect writes to an exported variable from another package, so exported variables must be rejected or analyzed across package boundaries. Add fixtures for package-level and local reassignment.
The registered roxvet analyzer currently uses NewAnalyzer(nil), so this is a false negative in the configurable verifier, not a current roxvet security bypass.

Automated testing
This is a new roxvet linter to enforce a given structure to the gRPC service authorizers (especially in central) and help ensure that these authorizers only need specific elements from the context and are not using others (currently allowed use is authn.IdentityFromContext and disallowed use would be sac.GlobalAccessScopeChecker).
