dmarc: a report is bounded, kept per domain, and ingested one at a time
Security review of the DMARC report path (Fable, 2026-10-11), which ran for the first time in 2.0.0. No Critical or High finding. Fixed: - Medium: a report was bounded only as 8 MiB of XML - some 160 000 records or one name of megabytes, all of it rows and table cells. At most 5 000 records (more is ErrRejected, dropped), text fields cut to 255 bytes on a character boundary, a record's count capped. - Medium: the cap of 500 reports was for the whole server, so a stranger filing under one domain's address evicted every other domain's reports. PruneDMARCReports counts per domain. - Low: the pipe service ran up to default_process_limit (100) commands at once against the panel's database; maxproc is 1. - Low: the reason logged for a dropped message carried the sender's bytes (header line, zip entry name) as they came; cut to 200 bytes and reduced to printable ASCII, zip entry names quoted. - Low: SELFPOST_DATA_DIR / SELFPOST_DB_PATH with whitespace or "$" would reach the command through export_environment as another path; refused at start when DMARC ingest is on. Left as they are, told to the owner: the parse-failure count is a lifetime figure shown under "This week"; a report larger than the command reads is dropped as unreadable; nested multipart is not searched. The hub's Retention line follows the design commit before this one. security.md: the review, and the accepted-risk entry says what a stranger can and cannot do now. The roadmap no longer calls the review pending. go vet ./cmd/... ./internal/dmarc/ ./internal/store/: ok go test ./cmd/... ./internal/dmarc/ ./internal/store/ ./internal/web/...: ok make e2e on the test server (with the port-25 scenarios of the next commit): ok Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
