🚨 Severity: CRITICAL
πŸ’‘ Vulnerability: Privilege Escalation (CWE-269) - Missing authorization checks in ChangeAdminTOTP and GetQR handlers allowed any user with manage_admins permission to reset or retrieve the TOTP secret of the main system admin (GUIAdmin).
🎯 Impact: Account takeover of the primary system administrative account, potentially leading to full system compromise.
πŸ”§ Fix: Implemented strict authorization checks in both handlers to return a 403 Forbidden if the target username matches the configured GUIAdmin.
βœ… Verification: Tested locally via go test ./... and manual review of the handler logic.

πŸ‘‹ Jules, reporting for duty! I'm here to lend a hand with this pull request.

When you start a review, I'll add a πŸ‘€ emoji to each comment to let you know I've read it. I'll focus on feedback directed at me and will do my best to stay out of conversations between you and other bots or reviewers to keep the noise down.

I'll push a commit with your requested changes shortly after. Please note there might be a delay between these steps, but rest assured I'm on the job!

For more direct control, you can switch me to Reactive Mode. When this mode is on, I will only act on comments where you specifically mention me with @jules. You can find this option in the Pull Request section of your global Jules UI settings. You can always switch back!

🚨 Severity: CRITICAL
πŸ’‘ Vulnerability: Privilege Escalation (CWE-269) - Missing authorization checks in `ChangeAdminTOTP` and `GetQR` handlers allowed any user with `manage_admins` permission to reset or retrieve the TOTP secret of the main system admin (`GUIAdmin`). Additionally, fixed Go standard library CVEs by updating the Go toolchain to 1.26.5 and patched an infinite loop vulnerability in `golang.org/x/text`.
🎯 Impact: Account takeover of the primary system administrative account, potentially leading to full system compromise. Unpatched CVEs exposed the application to potential denial of service via standard library or text manipulation.
πŸ”§ Fix: Implemented strict authorization checks in both handlers to return a `403 Forbidden` if the target username matches the configured `GUIAdmin`. Upgraded `golang.org/x/text` and Go toolchain version in `go.mod`, `Dockerfile`, and GitHub Action workflows.
βœ… Verification: Tested locally via `go test -short ./...` and manual review of the handler logic. Also verified the fix passes `govulncheck`.

Additionally, fixed Go standard library CVEs by updating the Go toolchain to 1.26.5 across the repository (including Dockerfile and CI configurations) and patched an infinite loop vulnerability in `golang.org/x/text`.
🎯 Impact: Account takeover of the primary system administrative account, potentially leading to full system compromise. Unpatched CVEs exposed the application to potential denial of service via standard library or text manipulation, which also caused CI pipeline failures during govulncheck scans.
