[Prioritized Recommendations & Hardening Roadmap](#6-prioritized-recommendations--hardening-roadmap) -7. [Codebase Health & Verification Results](#7-codebase-health--verification-results) - ---- - -## 1. Executive Summary & Overall Security Posture - -`lanspread` is a peer-to-peer (P2P) desktop application designed for local area network (LAN) party environments, enabling nodes to discover neighboring peers via Multicast DNS (mDNS-SD), synchronize library metadata and real-time "Call to Play" events over QUIC/TLS 1.3, and download, unpack, and launch game packages directly across machines. The system is implemented as a Rust workspace with an asynchronous backend (`tokio`, `s2n-quic`, `sqlx`) and a desktop user interface built with Tauri (Vite, Deno, TypeScript, React). - -### Threat Environment -The operational context of `lanspread` is a local network environment (LAN party, shared gaming lounge, university dormitory, or open Wi-Fi). In this environment: -- Physical and link-layer network access is untrusted and unauthenticated. -- Any participant on the subnet can inject raw UDP packets (including spoofed mDNS multicast on UDP 5353 and arbitrary QUIC UDP frames). -- Any participant can establish direct QUIC connections to running peers, open bidirectional streams, and send arbitrary control or data payloads. -- Peers may run modified, hostile versions of `lanspread` crafted to harvest metadata, exhaust node resources, disrupt network discovery, or deliver malicious archive content and scripts. - -### Major Architectural Strengths -1. **Capability-Based Directory Confinement (`cap_primitives`)**: The core download engine enforces filesystem sandboxing using `ConfinedGameRoot` and handle-relative file operations with `FollowSymlinks::No`, preventing path traversal during standard chunk transfers. -2. **Cryptographic Manifest Authority (BLAKE3)**: Game file manifests (`CatalogContentManifest`) enforce strict 4 MiB chunk-level and file-level BLAKE3 cryptographic digests. Corrupted or tampered chunks are detected during transfer. -3. **Crash-Consistent Transactional File Management**: The download manager uses temporary write handles, journaled file ownership (`DownloadOwnershipTransaction`), and deferred sentinel writing (`version.ini`) to ensure incomplete downloads are never committed or published. -4. **Parameterized Database Layer**: SQLite interactions in `lanspread-db` and `lanspread-compat` utilize `sqlx` prepared queries with parameter binding, eliminating classic SQL injection vulnerabilities. -5. **Single Wire Protocol Policy**: By strictly disallowing legacy wire version fallbacks, backward-compatibility shims, and permissive serde escape hatches (`#[serde(other)]`), the wire protocol surface remains compact and auditable. - -### Key Security Posture Risks -Despite these robust foundational designs, the security audit identified **20 distinct vulnerabilities and hardening deficiencies** (4 High, 7 Medium, 8 Low, 1 Informational). The primary risks include: -- **Elevated Remote Code Execution via Untrusted P2P Scripts**: When launching games or starting dedicated servers on Windows, `lanspread` executes batch scripts (`game_setup.cmd`, `game_start.cmd`, `server_start.cmd`) downloaded from untrusted peers with elevated Administrator privileges (`runas` verb via `cmd.exe`). -- **Reflected State-Pull Amplification & Unauthenticated Inbound Streams**: The QUIC server does not enforce Mutual TLS (mTLS) client authentication (`.with_no_client_auth()`). Unauthenticated attackers can inject forged `ChangeHint` messages impersonating other peers, triggering concurrent outbound QUIC connection floods directed at victim nodes. -- **Disabled Webview Content Security Policy**: `tauri.conf.json` explicitly sets `"csp": null`, eliminating browser-level defenses against Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) and remote resource loading. -- **Unchecked External Archive Extraction (`SidecarUnpacker`)**: Extraction of `.eti` (RAR) archives via the external `unrar` sidecar lacks post-extraction manifest verification, symlink auditing, and disk volume capacity preflight checks. - -``` -+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ -| LANSPREAD ARCHITECTURE | -| | -| +---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | -| | FRONTEND (Vite / Deno / React) | | -| | - UI Components, CtpChat, Log Viewers (ReDoS risk: SEC-FE-01) | | -| +---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | -| | IPC (invoke) | -| v | -| +---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | -| | TAURI DESKTOP SHELL (src-tauri/) | | -| | - Disabled CSP ("csp": null, SEC-IPC-02) | | -| | - Elevated UAC batch execution (cmd.exe runas, SEC-IPC-01) | | -| | - Unvalidated thumbnail path resolver (SEC-IPC-03) | | -| | - Sidecar Unpacker spawning unrar (EXP2-SEC-01, EXP2-SEC-02, SEC-IPC-04) | | -| +---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | -| | | | -| v v | -| +---------------------------------------+ +-------------------------------------------+ | -| | DATABASE & COMPAT | | CORE P2P BACKEND (lanspread-peer) | | -| | - lanspread-db / lanspread-compat | | - QUIC Server (No mTLS: NET-01) | | -| | - Parameterized sqlx (SEC-DB-01) | | - mDNS Discovery (Candidate DoS: NET-04) | | -| | - Manifest parser & BLAKE3 digests | | - Download Engine (ConfinedGameRoot) | | -| +---------------------------------------+ | - Stream Install (Ambient FS: EXP2-SEC-07)| | -| +-------------------------------------------+ | -+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ -``` - ---- - -## 2. Threat Model & Attack Surface Breakdown - -### 2.1 Adversary Model & Trust Assumptions -- **LAN Adversary**: An attacker with network access on the local subnet (IP layer and broadcast/multicast domain). The adversary can capture, forge, and inject UDP packets, establish QUIC connections, and execute modified protocol implementations. -- **Untrusted Peer Content**: Games, metadata, file chunks, and archive payloads hosted by remote peers must be treated as inherently untrusted. A malicious peer may attempt to deliver malicious code, craft directory traversal sequences, or exhaust victim resources. -- **Compromised Webview**: A potential threat where malicious HTML/JS injected via peer metadata or chat messages attempts to escape the webview sandbox and invoke native host commands via Tauri IPC. - -### 2.2 LAN mDNS Discovery & Peer Spoofing -- **Component**: `crates/lanspread-mdns`, `crates/lanspread-peer/src/services/discovery.rs`, `crates/lanspread-peer/src/services/advertise.rs`. -- **Attack Surface**: Inbound multicast DNS responses received on UDP port 5353 (`_lanspread._udp.local.`). -- **Threats**: - - **Peer Spoofing**: An attacker can advertise arbitrary `peer_id`s, IP addresses, and ports. - - **Discovery Denial-of-Service**: Saturating candidate rate limiters (`RecentCandidates`) to block legitimate peer discovery. - - **Target Redirection**: Announcing multicast, broadcast, loopback, or internal infrastructure IP addresses to force victim nodes to send QUIC handshake packets to unauthorized destinations. - -### 2.3 QUIC Transport, TLS 1.3 & Wire Protocol Framing -- **Component**: `crates/lanspread-peer/src/{tls.rs, quic_runtime.rs, network.rs, services/stream.rs}`, `crates/lanspread-proto`. -- **Attack Surface**: Inbound UDP datagrams on peer QUIC listening port (e.g. 42424), TLS 1.3 handshake negotiation, bidirectional stream framing. -- **Threats**: - - **Unauthenticated Stream Injection**: Inbound connections have no client identity validation, allowing arbitrary anonymous nodes to send control commands. - - **Amplification & Reflection**: Forged state change hints causing the recipient to connect to third-party victim nodes. - - **Stream Memory Exhaustion**: Opening maximum permitted streams (64 globally) and pushing maximum frame lengths (8 MiB control frames) of buffered JSON data. - -### 2.4 Download Path Traversal, Chunk Verification & Archive Extraction -- **Component**: `crates/lanspread-peer/src/{download/, stream_install.rs, install/transaction.rs, path_validation.rs}`, `crates/lanspread-utils`. -- **Attack Surface**: Content manifests, game IDs, relative file paths, chunk streams, and downloaded `.eti` (RAR) archives. -- **Threats**: - - **Path Traversal / Escape**: Crafting relative paths with `../`, UNC prefixes, drive letters, Windows device names (`CON`, `PRN`, `AUX`, `NUL`), or trailing dots/spaces to write outside the game directory. - - **Symlink Exploitation**: Archives containing symbolic links or NTFS directory junctions pointing to sensitive system locations. - - **Decompression Bombs**: Highly compressed archives that decompress to hundreds of gigabytes, exhausting host disk space. - - **Pre-Verification Chunk Write Corruption**: Writing unverified chunks directly to live files before completing hash checks. - -### 2.5 Tauri IPC Boundaries, Webview Isolation & Frontend Security -- **Component**: `crates/lanspread-tauri-deno-ts/src-tauri/`, `crates/lanspread-tauri-deno-ts/src/`. -- **Attack Surface**: 24 registered Tauri IPC commands, frontend DOM rendering, IPC parameter validation, webview capability configuration. -- **Threats**: - - **Elevated Privilege Escalation**: Invoking batch scripts via Windows `cmd.exe` with Administrator (`runas`) UAC elevation. - - **Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)**: Execution of untrusted scripts in the webview context in the absence of a Content Security Policy (`"csp": null`). - - **IPC Parameter Abuse**: Passing path traversal strings into asset resolution commands (`get_game_thumbnail`). - - **Client-Side ReDoS**: Catastrophic backtracking in user-supplied regex filters in log windows. - -### 2.6 Database & Persistence Integrity -- **Component**: `crates/lanspread-db`, `crates/lanspread-compat`. -- **Attack Surface**: SQLite database file (`game.db`), content index (`catalog-content-index-v1.jsonl`), local state storage. -- **Threats**: - - **SQL Injection**: Attempting to manipulate database queries via unsanitized strings (mitigated by sqlx parameter binding). - - **Corrupted Database Execution**: Exploiting SQLite features like trusted schema or custom functions in untrusted database files. - ---- - -## 3.

Detailed Vulnerability & Hardening Write-ups - ---- - -### 5.1 P2P Networking, Discovery & Wire Protocol - ---- - -#### Finding NET-01: Unauthenticated Inbound QUIC Streams & Forged Change Hints Trigger Reflected State-Pull Flooding - -- **Severity Rating**: **High** (CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:H) -- **Category**: Exploitable Vulnerability / Authentication & Amplification -- **Affected Component**: `crates/lanspread-peer` (TLS & State Sync Subsystems) -- **File & Line References**: - - `crates/lanspread-peer/src/tls.rs:126-134` (`server_provider`) - - `crates/lanspread-peer/src/services/server.rs:262-348` (`handle_peer_connection`) - - `crates/lanspread-peer/src/services/stream.rs:265-272` (`handle_peer_stream`) - - `crates/lanspread-peer/src/services/state_sync.rs:101-114, 362-389` (`hint_requires_pull`, `perform_refresh_for_peer`) - -##### Vulnerability Description & Root Cause Analysis -In `tls.rs`, the QUIC server TLS configuration explicitly disables client certificate authentication: -```rust -pub(crate) fn server_provider(identity: &PeerIdentity) -> Result { - let provider = Arc::new(rustls::crypto::aws_lc_rs::default_provider()); - let mut config = ServerConfig::builder_with_provider(provider) - .with_protocol_versions(&[&rustls::version::TLS13])? - .with_no_client_auth() - .with_single_cert(vec![identity.certificate()], identity.private_key())?; - harden_server_config(&mut config); - Ok(S2nRustlsServer::from(config)) -} -``` -When inbound QUIC connections are established in `server.rs`, connecting clients are completely anonymous. - -When an inbound bidirectional stream delivers `Request::LibraryChanged(hint)` or `Request::CallToPlayChanged(hint)`, `handle_peer_stream` in `stream.rs` passes the `ChangeHint` structure directly to `ctx.state_sync.schedule_hint(...)` without verifying that the connection's sender owns `hint.claimed_peer_id`. - -In `state_sync.rs`: -```rust -async fn hint_requires_pull(ctx: &NetworkServiceCtx, trigger: HintTrigger) -> bool { - let snapshot = ctx - .peer_game_db - .read() - .await - .revision_snapshot(&trigger.hint.claimed_peer_id); - hint_requires_pull_from_snapshot(ctx.peer_id, trigger, snapshot.as_ref()) -} -``` -If `claimed_peer_id` matches a known peer in `peer_game_db` and the hint specifies an incremented revision or new session ID, `hint_requires_pull` evaluates to `true`. This causes `state_sync` to immediately queue an outbound `perform_refresh_for_peer`, triggering a full outbound QUIC connection and `Hello` snapshot pull targeting the victim peer (`claimed_peer_id`). - -##### Threat & Impact Analysis -1. **Reflected DoS / Network Amplification**: An attacker on the LAN can establish unauthenticated QUIC streams to every peer on the subnet and send forged `ChangeHint` messages claiming `Peer_Victim` has published revision `999999`. Every peer node on the network will simultaneously initiate an outbound QUIC connection to `Peer_Victim` and pull its full `HelloSnapshot`, exhausting `Peer_Victim`'s network bandwidth, QUIC connection limits, and CPU. -2. **Unauthenticated Information Harvesting**: Any anonymous client can connect to any running peer and issue `Request::Hello` or `Request::Ping` to extract complete user display names, full shared game catalogs, and real-time Call-to-Play chat messages without presenting credentials. - -##### Concrete Attack Scenario / Reproduction Steps -1. An attacker on the LAN listens to mDNS broadcasts and identifies `Peer_Victim` (`PeerId_V`, IP `192.168.1.50:42424`) and 30 other participating peers (`Peer_1` through `Peer_30`). -2. The attacker opens a standard QUIC connection to `Peer_1` (`192.168.1.10:42424`). -3. Over a bidirectional stream, the attacker sends: - ```json - {"LibraryChanged":{"claimed_peer_id":"","runtime_session_id":"00000000000000000000000000000000","revision":999999}} - ``` -4. `Peer_1` receives the frame, observes that `PeerId_V` has a new revision, and initiates `perform_refresh_for_peer(PeerId_V)`. -5. The attacker repeats steps 2–3 across `Peer_2` through `Peer_30`. -6. All 30 peers concurrently open QUIC connections to `Peer_Victim` and request full library snapshots, saturating `Peer_Victim`'s connection permits and CPU. - -##### Actionable Remediation Guidance -1. **Enforce Mutual TLS (mTLS)**: - - Configure `ServerConfig` to require client certificates via a custom `ClientCertVerifier` that validates the client's Ed25519 self-signed certificate and extracts their public key. - - Configure `ClientConfig` to present the local `PeerIdentity` certificate during outbound handshakes. -2. **Bind Inbound Commands to Verified Identity**: - - Extract the authenticated client `PeerId` from the TLS connection metadata in `handle_peer_connection`. - - In `stream.rs`, assert `hint.claimed_peer_id == authenticated_peer_id`. Reject and drop any hint where the claimed identity does not match the TLS identity. - ---- - -#### Finding NET-02: Missing IP Address & Port Validation in Discovered mDNS Services Enables Handshake Redirection to Multicast / Broadcast Targets - -- **Severity Rating**: **Medium** (CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:M) -- **Category**: Exploitable Vulnerability / Input Validation -- **Affected Component**: `crates/lanspread-peer` (Discovery) / `crates/lanspread-mdns` -- **File & Line References**: - - `crates/lanspread-peer/src/services/discovery.rs:393-412` (`validated_candidate_endpoint`) - - `crates/lanspread-mdns/src/lib.rs:273-290` (`MdnsBrowser::handle_service_resolved`) - -##### Vulnerability Description & Root Cause Analysis -In `discovery.rs`: -```rust -fn validated_candidate_endpoint(info: &MdnsPeerInfo) -> Option { - if info.proto_ver != Some(PROTOCOL_VERSION) { - return None; - } - let Some(peer_id) = info.peer_id else { - return None; - }; - Some(PeerEndpoint::new(peer_id, info.addr)) -} -``` -Neither `lanspread-mdns` nor `discovery.rs` validates the socket address `info.addr`.

If an XSS vulnerability occurs anywhere in the frontend (e.g. via peer chat messages, manipulated game metadata, or a compromised frontend dependency), an attacker can execute arbitrary scripts, connect to external servers, or invoke accessible Tauri IPC commands. - -##### Actionable Remediation Guidance -Define a strict Content Security Policy in `tauri.conf.json`: -```json -"security": { - "csp": "default-src 'self'; img-src 'self' data: asset:; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'; script-src 'self'; connect-src ipc:; frame-src 'none'; object-src 'none'; base-uri 'none';" -} -``` - ---- - -#### Finding SEC-IPC-03: Unvalidated `game_id` Path Resolution & Leftover Debug Macro in `get_game_thumbnail` - -- **Severity Rating**: **Medium** (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N) -- **Category**: Exploitable Vulnerability / Path Resolution -- **Affected Component**: `crates/lanspread-tauri-deno-ts` (`src-tauri/src/lib.rs`) -- **File & Line References**: - - `crates/lanspread-tauri-deno-ts/src-tauri/src/lib.rs:1534-1552` (`get_game_thumbnail`) - -##### Vulnerability Description & Root Cause Analysis -`get_game_thumbnail` is implemented as: -```rust -#[tauri::command] -async fn get_game_thumbnail( - game_id: String, - app_handle: tauri::AppHandle, - state: tauri::State<'_, LanSpreadState>, -) -> tauri::Result { - use base64::Engine; - - let _app_invoke = enter_app_invoke(state.inner())?; - let resource_path = app_handle.path().resolve( - format!("assets/{game_id}.jpg"), - tauri::path::BaseDirectory::Resource, - )?; - - dbg!(&resource_path); - - let image_data = scoped_blocking(|| std::fs::read(&resource_path))?; - let base64_data = base64::engine::general_purpose::STANDARD.encode(&image_data); - Ok(format!("data:image/jpeg;base64,{base64_data}")) -} -``` -Unlike `run_game_windows`, `get_game_thumbnail` does not call `is_single_component_game_id(&game_id)`. Passing `../` sequences allows resolving and reading arbitrary `.jpg` files from the resource bundle. Additionally, line 1547 contains `dbg!(&resource_path)`, which emits filesystem paths to stderr in release builds. - -##### Actionable Remediation Guidance -Validate `game_id` with `is_single_component_game_id(&game_id)` and remove the `dbg!` macro. - ---- - -#### Finding SEC-IPC-04: Unsandboxed External Archive Extraction (`unrar`) for Untrusted P2P Archives - -- **Severity Rating**: **Medium** (CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:M/I:M/A:N) -- **Category**: Defense-in-Depth / Subprocess Sandboxing -- **Affected Component**: `crates/lanspread-peer-cli`, `crates/lanspread-tauri-deno-ts` (`src-tauri`) -- **File & Line References**: - - `crates/lanspread-peer-cli/src/lib.rs:344-370` (`ExternalUnrarUnpacker`) - - `crates/lanspread-tauri-deno-ts/src-tauri/src/lib.rs:3195-3221` (`run_unrar_sidecar`) - -##### Vulnerability Description & Root Cause Analysis -`ExternalUnrarUnpacker` and `run_unrar_sidecar` invoke `binaries/unrar` directly without OS-level sandboxing (e.g. Landlock, pledge, AppContainer) or symlink stripping flags (`-sl-`). If an untrusted RAR contains directory traversal paths or symlinks, unrar could write outside the destination directory. - -##### Actionable Remediation Guidance -Pass symlink-disabling flags (`-sl-`) to `unrar` and verify that all extracted files reside strictly within the destination staging directory. - ---- - -#### Finding SEC-IPC-05: Broad Webview Window Creation Capabilities (`allow-create-webview-window`) - -- **Severity Rating**: **Low** (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N) -- **Category**: Hardening / Least Privilege -- **Affected Component**: `crates/lanspread-tauri-deno-ts` (`src-tauri/capabilities/default.json`) -- **File & Line References**: - - `crates/lanspread-tauri-deno-ts/src-tauri/capabilities/default.json:11` - -##### Vulnerability Description & Root Cause Analysis -`capabilities/default.json` grants `"core:webview:allow-create-webview-window"` to the default webview. If an XSS vulnerability occurs, script injection could dynamically spawn unmonitored browser windows. - -##### Actionable Remediation Guidance -Statically declare companion windows (`main-logs`, `unpack-logs`) in `tauri.conf.json` and remove dynamic window creation permissions from `default.json`. - ---- - -#### Finding SEC-FE-01: Client-Side Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) in Log Viewers - -- **Severity Rating**: **Low** (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L) -- **Category**: Exploitable Vulnerability / UI DoS -- **Affected Component**: `crates/lanspread-tauri-deno-ts` (Frontend) -- **File & Line References**: - - `crates/lanspread-tauri-deno-ts/src/MainLogsWindow.tsx:160-164` - - `crates/lanspread-tauri-deno-ts/src/UnpackLogsWindow.tsx:109-113` - -##### Vulnerability Description & Root Cause Analysis -User-supplied filter strings are compiled via `new RegExp(regexInput, 'i')` and executed synchronously over thousands of log lines on every keypress. A pattern with nested quantifiers (e.g. `(a+)+$`) triggers catastrophic backtracking, freezing the UI thread. - -##### Actionable Remediation Guidance -Enforce a length limit on `regexInput`, debounce execution, or execute regex evaluation inside a Web Worker. - ---- - -### 5.4 Database & Data Persistence Integrity - ---- - -#### Finding SEC-DB-01: Missing Defensive SQLite PRAGMAs (`trusted_schema = OFF`) on Catalog Database Pool - -- **Severity Rating**: **Low** (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N) -- **Category**: Defense-in-Depth / Database Hardening -- **Affected Component**: `crates/lanspread-compat` -- **File & Line References**: - - `crates/lanspread-compat/src/catalog_bundle.rs:67-75` - - `crates/lanspread-compat/src/eti.rs:29-45` - -##### Vulnerability Description & Root Cause Analysis -When opening SQLite database pools, `SqliteConnectOptions` configures `.read_only(true)`, but does not explicitly set `PRAGMA trusted_schema = OFF;` or `PRAGMA cell_size_check = ON;`. Setting `trusted_schema = OFF` ensures that SQLite triggers or virtual table functions in loaded databases cannot execute untrusted code. - -##### Actionable Remediation Guidance -Configure connection pools with defensive SQLite PRAGMAs: -```rust -SqliteConnectOptions::new() - .filename(db_path) - .read_only(true) - .pragma("trusted_schema", "OFF") - .pragma("cell_size_check", "ON") -``` - ---- - -## 6. Prioritized Recommendations & Hardening Roadmap - -To systematically resolve the identified findings, the remediation efforts are prioritized into three actionable tiers: - -### Tier 1: Immediate Remediation (High Priority / P0) -*Target Timeline: Immediate release / next sprint* -1. **Mitigate Elevated Batch Script Execution (SEC-IPC-01)**: - - Enforce cryptographic BLAKE3 manifest verification for all `.cmd` and `.exe` scripts prior to execution. - - Enforce strict username/language character sanitization (`[a-zA-Z0-9_-]`). -2. **Deploy Strict Webview Content Security Policy (SEC-IPC-02)**: - - Configure `"csp": "default-src 'self'; img-src 'self' data: asset:; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'; script-src 'self'; connect-src ipc:; frame-src 'none'; object-src 'none'; base-uri 'none';"` in `tauri.conf.json`. -3. **Enforce Mutual TLS & Inbound Identity Binding (NET-01)**: - - Require client certificates in TLS 1.3 server config and verify that inbound `ChangeHint` messages originate from the connection's authenticated `PeerId`. -4. **Post-Extraction Manifest & Symlink Audit (EXP2-SEC-01)**: - - Add a recursive audit step in `install/transaction.rs` that validates all extracted files in `.local.installing` against manifest BLAKE3 digests and rejects any symbolic links or NTFS junctions. - -### Tier 2: Medium-Term Hardening (P1) -*Target Timeline: Next minor version milestone* -1. **mDNS Destination Sanitization (NET-02)**: Reject multicast, broadcast, unspecified, and zero-port endpoints in `validated_candidate_endpoint`. -2. **Asymmetric Request Framing Bounds (NET-03)**: Reduce inbound request `FramedRead` limits to 64 KiB while maintaining 8 MiB for response snapshots. -3. **Discovery Rate Limiter LRU Eviction (NET-04)**: Transition `RecentCandidates` from hard drop to FIFO/LRU eviction when at capacity. -4. **Decompression Bomb Protection (EXP2-SEC-02)**: Preflight available disk space before spawning `unrar` and enforce maximum extraction size limits. -5. **Path Validation Harmonization (EXP2-SEC-03, EXP2-SEC-04)**: Align `path_validation.rs` and `lanspread-proto` with `download/manifest.rs` (checking Windows reserved device names, NFC normalization, and trailing dots/spaces). -6. **Thumbnail Command Sanitization (SEC-IPC-03)**: Enforce single-component validation in `get_game_thumbnail` and remove debug macros. -7. **Unrar Subprocess Flags (SEC-IPC-04)**: Pass `-sl-` to `unrar` and verify destination containment. - -### Tier 3: Architectural Enhancements (P2) -*Target Timeline: Long-term architectural refinement* -1. **Pre-Verification Chunk Memory Buffering (EXP2-SEC-05)**: Buffer chunks in memory and verify BLAKE3 hashes prior to disk persistence. -2. **UID-Isolated Temp State Directories (EXP2-SEC-06)**: Append process UID and enforce `0o700` permissions for fallback state paths in `/tmp`. -3. **Capability VFS for Stream Install (EXP2-SEC-07)**: Refactor `stream_install.rs` to use `ConfinedGameRoot` handles with `FollowSymlinks::No`. -4. **Log Viewer ReDoS Guards (SEC-FE-01)**: Enforce length limits and debouncing on frontend regex filters. -5. **Defensive SQLite PRAGMAs (SEC-DB-01)**: Set `trusted_schema = OFF` and `cell_size_check = ON` on all SQLite connection pools. -6. **Webview Capability Minimization (SEC-IPC-05)**: Statically configure log windows and revoke dynamic window creation capabilities. - ---- - -## 7. Codebase Health & Verification Results - -The workspace build, test suite, and linter were executed to verify codebase integrity.
