release(v3.23.0): authentication and authorization hardening

Commit message

release(v3.23.0): authentication and authorization hardening

- security(auth): harden TOTP verification and account settings
- security(oidc): bind accounts by immutable provider identity
- security(files): enforce upload, callback, and path boundaries

Fixed

  • TOTP verification now enforces persistent account-wide and source-wide attempt budgets across all pending-login verification paths, and the alternate auth handler now resolves the shared TOTP verifier correctly, so changing sessions or client addresses cannot reset the second-factor limit.
  • Successfully accepted TOTP time steps are now claimed atomically per account and authenticator secret, preventing the same still-valid code from completing authentication more than once.
  • Successful TOTP verification clears the account budget without counting ordinary successful logins against shared-network failure limits.
  • TOTP enrollment now remains pending until a valid code confirms the new authenticator, and enrollment, disablement, and recovery-code rotation require a recent full authentication.
  • OIDC logins now bind the validated issuer-and-subject identity to a local account, ignore unverified email for naming, and cannot attach a mutable username claim to an existing local account.
  • Upload and rename validation now rejects trailing-dot filenames across regular, resumable, shared, and WebDAV write paths so filesystem or web-server normalization cannot bypass blocked executable names.
  • Logical folder paths now reject raw or encoded . and .. segments before ACL evaluation or storage access; local writes use boundary-aware containment before directory creation, and WebDAV operations cannot escape the configured source root.
  • ZIP, 7z, and RAR extraction now occurs in a private temporary workspace on the same local storage volume, and validated regular files are placed atomically only through real in-root destination directories; pre-existing destination symlinks can no longer redirect extraction or cleanup outside the storage root.
  • ONLYOFFICE save callbacks now require a valid HS256 JWT from the configured Document Server; omitting the callback JWT no longer falls back to trusting the unsigned request body.
  • Cross-parent folder renames now enforce destination move rights and matching ownership boundaries, preventing a folder owner from moving their tree into another user's folder or the admin-controlled root.

Upgrade notes

  • Breaking security change for existing OIDC deployments: OIDC identities created before v3.23.0 do not have an issuer/subject binding and cannot continue matching an existing local account automatically.
  • ONLYOFFICE callback security change: Before upgrading, ensure the Document Server has outgoing/outbox JWTs enabled and uses the same secret configured in FileRise. Correctly configured deployments require no data migration.
  • Older or misconfigured Document Servers that omit callback JWTs will be unable to save until their outgoing JWT configuration is corrected. ONLYOFFICE_ALLOW_UNSIGNED_CALLBACKS=1 is available only as a temporary, explicitly unsafe recovery measure; remove it immediately after confirming a signed document save.
  • After five failed TOTP submissions, that account waits up to 15 minutes before another verification attempt.
  • Sessions whose full authentication is more than five minutes old must sign in again before changing TOTP security settings; remember-me restoration alone does not satisfy this check.
  • Existing non-OIDC users, TOTP secrets, sessions, Docker volumes, and deployment configuration require no migration.
  • Before upgrading an OIDC deployment, verify a working local administrator login and back up the users directory.
  • On the first OIDC login for an existing account, FileRise presents a one-time guided link prompt for that account's local password and, when configured, TOTP. This confirmation works even when ordinary form login is disabled.
  • New OIDC identities whose proposed username does not collide with an existing local account continue to auto-provision normally when OIDC auto-provisioning is enabled; they are bound to the validated issuer and subject immediately and do not receive the guided link prompt.
  • OIDC-only users without a known local password require an administrator-assisted password reset or account migration. Complete this preparation before upgrading any deployment whose only administrator uses OIDC.
  • See docs/wiki/oidc sso.md under Upgrading existing OIDC accounts to v3.23.0 for the complete migration procedure.

Breaking Changes

  • OIDC identities created before v3.23.0 lack issuer/subject binding and can no longer auto‑match existing local accounts (requires migration).
  • ONLYOFFICE save callbacks now mandate a valid HS256 JWT; unsigned callbacks are rejected unless `ONLYOFFICE_ALLOW_UNSIGNED_CALLBACKS=1` is explicitly enabled as an unsafe fallback.

Security Fixes

  • Authflow cooldowns now session‑scoped — closes abuse vector where users changed phone/email mid‑flow to reset OTP cooldowns
  • File upload, rename, ZIP/7z/RAR extraction validation now rejects trailing dot filenames, raw or encoded `.` and `..` segments, and prevents symlink redirection outside storage root.
