panel-redesign: security review of 2.0 - sessions belong to a user by id
Stage 3, step 2. Reviewed by Fable (read-only), fixed by Sonnet with a
failing test before each fix, checked by Opus. No Critical or High
finding: route authorization, tenant isolation by id, the /server/
subtree guard, output encoding and the origin check were found sound.
Fixed
- M1: a session was keyed by user name and had no link to the user. A
deleted or renamed user's cookie stayed alive (renewed on every hit,
before the user was looked up) and became a session of whoever was
later created under that name, with that account's role. The
baseline now has sessions.user_id REFERENCES users(id) ON DELETE
CASCADE; the principal is resolved by id and a session is renewed
only after its user was found. RenameSession is gone.
- M2: any user's password change deleted every other user's sessions.
It ends that user's other sessions only.
- L1: a password set on the user form ends that user's sessions (an
administrator editing their own account keeps the current one).
- L2: store, saslpasswd2 and Postfix reload errors were shown verbatim
on the application form, the inbound upstream / recipients forms and
the limit recalculation - pages a domain administrator reaches.
Validation errors (app.ValidationError, inbound.ValidationError,
store.ErrNotAutoRateLimit) keep their text; anything else is logged
and shown as "Could not save ... Check the logs and try again."
- L3: store.ListDMARCReports treated an empty domain list as "all". It
takes a scope now (AllDomains or a list; an empty list is no rows),
and the DMARC hub is open to the domain role as the plan says: the
reports of the assigned domains, without the instance-wide ingest
box. The menu entry was already shown to them and led to a 404.
- I1: /static/ answered with a listing of the embedded assets. A path
that is not a known asset is a 404.
Consequences
- The global DMARC hub lists reports of domains that were deleted
since, too.
- dev/migrate1x (not in the tree) no longer carries sessions over:
everyone signs in again after the transfer.
- docs/schema-migrations.md: the sessions row.
Recorded, not changed - for the owner:
- L4: the report-address select names the followed user and their
address to every administrator of the domain, by default the global
administrator's login name. The plan asks for it.
- L5: a delegated inbound upstream may be any host and port, loopback
and private ranges included - within the trusted-operator model; to
be listed among the accepted risks in security.md.
- L6: Account's profile is saved without the password; becomes a
requirement once password-reset mails to users.email.
- Still echoing an error's text: backup and domain import (global
only), the domain form's validation messages.
Not checked by the review: anything needing the container (e2e, real
Postfix / DNS), CSP behaviour in a live browser.
go test -count=1 ./internal/web/... ./internal/store/... ./internal/app/...
./internal/inbound/... ./internal/dmarc/... ./cmd/panel
ok (all eleven packages; dev/migrate1x also ok)

|

- panel-redesign is `agreed` (owner, 2026-10-09); work starts with stage 0,
|

the component kit.

### Security
|
||||
|
||||
- A panel session belongs to a user by id and ends with them. It used to be
|
||||
keyed by user name: the cookie of a deleted or renamed user stayed valid
|
||||
and became a session of whoever was next created under that name. Signing
|
||||
in again is required after upgrading.
|
||||
- Changing one's password ends one's own other sessions only; it used to
|
||||
sign every other user out. A password set by an administrator on the user
|
||||
form ends that user's sessions.
|
||||
- Internal errors (database, `saslpasswd2`, Postfix reload) are no longer
|
||||
shown on the application, inbound upstream / recipients and limit forms;
|
||||
they are logged and the page says so.
|
||||
- `/static/` no longer answers with a listing of the embedded files.
|
||||
- The DMARC reports hub is open to a domain administrator for the domains
|
||||
assigned to them, without the server's ingest statistics; the list of
|
||||
reports no longer treats "no domains" as "all domains".
|
||||
|
||||
### Fixed
|
||||
|
||||
- Saving a domain's report-address form untouched no longer moves a domain
