- Around line 918-919: Update the identity handling around the callback
validation check in Discovery so forwarded usernames cannot identify an agent.
Mark identities created from ProvenancePath.AGENT with an agent-only principal
type or attribute, including the permissive path, and validate that marker
instead of comparing the principal name to
RbacHttpAuthenticationMechanism.AGENT_PRINCIPAL; preserve normal BASIC and
OPENSHIFT user identities.

🟠 Major · Reject equal nonblank proxy secrets at startup.

🔒 Security & Privacy | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick winBroken Authentication
Reachability: External
Exploitability: Difficult
CWE: CWE-287 — Improper AuthenticationReject equal nonblank proxy secrets at startup.
When both secrets have the same nonblank value,
RequestProvenanceaccepts that value inX-Cryostat-Agent-Authand selectsAGENTprovenance before checking user provenance.RbacHttpAuthenticationMechanismthen creates the agent identity. A party trusted only as the user proxy can therefore impersonate the agent.Validate the two configured secrets as distinct whenever both are nonblank, and fail startup when they are equal.

Description of the change:
cryostat.http.proxy.mtls.trusted-hostsconfig property added in feat(auth): OpenShift RBAC fine-grained permissions #1734. In practice this would always belocalhostsince Cryostat is deployed in the same Pod as its auth proxies, so the config property would not be sufficient for Cryostat to determine which of the two proxy paths the request flowed through. It would also not prevent a pwnedjfr-datasourceorcryostat-grafana-dashboardcontainer from being used to send requests into the local Cryostat container and bypass the authentication/authorization system.X-Cryostat-Agent-Proxyboolean header which was also added in feat(auth): OpenShift RBAC fine-grained permissions #1734. This was used as a simple marker injected on the agent-proxy path and stripped on the user-proxy path, but it is no longer necessary or useful because of the next additions below:cryostat.security.user-proxy.secretconfig property andX-Cryostat-User-Proxy-Authheader, andcryostat.security.agent-proxy.secretandX-Cryostat-Agent-Authpairs. If the user proxy secret is configured, Cryostat checks the corresponding header to determine if an incoming request flowed through the user-side proxy (openshift-oauth-proxy) and rejects the request if the secret does not match - this is enforced in bothBASICandOPENSHIFTmodes but not inPERMISSIVEmode. If the user proxy secret is not configured then any request that is not known to have come from the agent-proxy is assumed to have come through the user-proxy. If the agent-proxy secret is configured then Cryostat checks if requests carry that header and a matching secret, and if so the request is known to have come from an mTLS-authenticated Agent instance and so the Agent Principal is assigned to the request.Motivation for the change:
This enhances security by making the proof that a request was received via a trusted proxy unforgeable, since Cryostat and the proxies share a common Secret that is known only to them. The proxies augment incoming requests with this provenance stamp. If Cryostat somehow receives a request that does not carry the expected stamp, then it can reject the request as unauthorized straight away rather than failing open and granting access to an untrusted client. This also ensures that malicious clients cannot inject headers onto their requests to trick Cryostat into believing they are someone else or that they have passed through the other proxy (ie. passing through the user-proxy path and openshift-oauth-proxy but presenting headers as if they went through the agent-proxy path, to claim the Agent Principal's permissions).
How to manually test:
quay.io/andrewazores/cryostat:4.3.0-gateway-secret-1smoketest.bash- there should be no observable change in this case
