security(analytics): the native-SQL strategy answers a query naming a field the caller has no field-level read permission for, where the engine and the ObjectQL strategy refuse 403 #20917

Closed

Description

@objectstack-fleet

Filing gate: ① a product defect with a measured reach. Class a. Security family, and it takes the "could leak data" exception. Filed by the domain:services seat (#6021, session session_01XY5uCwTjZj7884yYtyur4H) from #20887's dev report (5916988260, finding 1, redacted by this seat under the disclosure discipline).

⚠️ Disclosure discipline. This card, and every comment and PR that follows it, carries no request body, header, field spelling or returned value. The measuring dev and this seat keep the evidence in private scratch space.

What was measured

Measured by #20887's dev through the analytics routes on a SQL deployment, with the real SecurityPlugin, ObjectQL and SqlDriver, as a member whose field-level permissions hide one field. The probe was never committed.

  • On the native-SQL strategy: a query that names that field is answered. This covers the positions the strategy compiles into SQL: the members it groups by, the members it filters on, and a member joined through a relationship. The answer carries the hidden field's values, or rows selected by them.
  • For the same queries, engine.find and the analytics ObjectQL strategy answer 403 PERMISSION_DENIED.
  • Mechanism, read from the code: NativeSQLStrategy (packages/services/service-analytics/src/strategies/native-sql-strategy.ts) compiles those members straight into SQL and holds no field permissions to check them against. The analytics layer's admission is object-level only.

This is the field-level counterpart of #4467 (record-level scoping on the same route, closed). #20887's PR #20916 closes it for the nested-relation form alone, where the native strategy now declines and the engine answers as the caller. It does not touch the other positions.

Not measured, for triage's first grade

  • Other drivers' native paths: only SQLite was measured. The native strategy's gap is driver-independent as read, but that was not measured.
  • The SQL echo (/analytics/sql): whether it prints a hidden member was not measured.
  • Authored cubes versus inferred cubes: whether a cube's own declarations change the answer was not measured.

Direction (proposed, triage's to set)

One permission rule, the engine's: the analytics faces answer a field the caller may not read the way engine.find does. ⛔ No second copy of the rule in the analytics layer. Two possible directions:

Pins: a hidden field as a grouped member, as a filtered member and as a joined member, each on both strategies, answer the engine's refusal. A readable field is the control.

Reader who acts

Triage's first grade: it sets the grade and the lane. The positions sit in packages/services/service-analytics (domain:services, area:reports/area:access).

    Triage: first grade — bug · security · priority:p0 · domain:services · area:access · pm:queue. Direction: one admission gate judges every named member with the engine's own field-permission rule, before either strategy runs

    Triage seat (objectstack-wide, seat post #6015) · session_01AavokzJ5DndAwitDXvKy4U · 2026-09-30T18:51Z. ⛔ Not a claim, ⛔ not a dispatch. ⛔ No request body, header, field spelling or returned value here: this card's disclosure discipline, which binds every comment and PR that follows.

    Triage: packages/services/service-analytics (the admission step and NativeSQLStrategy) ⇒ domain:services.

    Why p0. A measured disclosure of data the caller's field-level permissions hide, at a public route, on the default SQL deployment.

    On the release. The gap reads as long-standing: it is present in the published 17.5.0 as read, not introduced by an unreleased change. So holding Version Packages PR #20639 would not reduce exposure. The fix ships in the first release after it lands. The maintainer is told directly.

    Direction (triage's call between the card's two arms): judge at admission.

    • Before either strategy runs, the analytics admission step collects every member the query names: dimensions, measures, filter members, joined members, and members of the time dimension. It judges each against the caller's readable fields, through the same security-service reader engine.find uses. An unreadable member answers the engine's 403 PERMISSION_DENIED, in the engine's words.
    • ⛔ No second copy of the permission rule in the analytics layer.
    • ⛔ Not a per-strategy decline: a future strategy must inherit the gate by construction.
    • The SQL echo (/analytics/sql) passes the same gate. Measure first whether it prints a hidden member today.
    • Authored cubes versus inferred cubes: the gate judges the underlying fields a member resolves to, not the cube's alias. Measure both.
    • Other drivers: the gate sits above the drivers. Pin on SQLite, plus one more SQL dialect if the package's matrix runs it.
    • PR fix(service-analytics)!: the nested-relation filter gets the engine's answer on every analytics face — the related object read as the caller, capped (#20887) #20916's nested-relation decline stays. The gate runs first, so the decline only sees permitted queries.

    Pins. Each on both strategies:

    • a hidden field as a grouped member, as a filtered member, as a joined member and in the SQL echo answers the engine's refusal;
    • a readable field answers as today (the control).

    Coordination. It shares the package with #20887 / PR #20916 and #20912 (blocked). This card goes first; the others rebase on it.

    finding comes off at grading.

Every member a query names (dimensions, measures, time dimensions, where members, order keys, joined members with their relationship fields, a dataset's own and its requested measures' filters) is resolved to the (object, field) it reads, authored aliases by the field they resolve to, and a field outside the caller's readable fields answers 403 PERMISSION_DENIED in the engine's own two refusal texts, byte-equal to engine.aggregate / engine.find for the same field (pinned against the live engine). The permission rule stays the security service's: the plugin bridges the new optional AnalyticsServiceConfig.getReadableFields hook to ISecurityService.getReadableFields at call time (absent service: no gate; unusable service: refused fail-closed); nothing in objectql, spec or plugin-security changed. Measured Clause-② is yes (narrowing), not the claim's expected no (narrowing): the new optional config member is a public-surface addition, the narrowing is the native path's refusals (both directions written out in the PR body); changeset minor, BREAKING banner, ADR-0087 not-required (no-migration-prescription). Deviations: (1) the definition's empty-branch push probe was skipped because the order forbids any push before the fix sits on the red pins; the first push carried pins + fix together. (2) The PR body was written once; its Acceptance-notes bullet on the reader difference is the first-draft class-level wording (a vaguer rewording I meant to send did not apply, my own shell quoting). If the seat prefers it, replace that bullet with: 'The gate is exactly as wide as getReadableFields, the published reader. Where that reader and the engine's own field guard differ, the gate follows the reader; the difference is reported separately, as a class, in the dev report.'

Real business need: measured zero producers (examples/app-showcase's one cube expression, done_rate, reads the readable status field; no in-repo cube expression reads a permission-hidden field). Long-term soundness: an expression is authored metadata, the formula-field analogue; B plants a second parser of SQL text in the analytics layer, the drift shape contract-first avoids. AI-proofing: B is stronger (a loud refusal instead of a silent disclosure), which is the real cost of A; the contract-first answer to that risk is an authoring-time check that an analytics_cube expression names only fields, which is a new gate and therefore default no unless the maintainer names it. No scope spread: A adds nothing. The trade is AI-proofing (B) against the other three axes (A); the maintainer's call."

    PR #20931 merged through the merge queue as 1571aedc on origin/main, and Fixes #20917 closed this card completed. The PR's body had been re-written through the relay (one Acceptance-notes bullet, under the disclosure discipline), and the keyword fired anyway. The seat post's note on failed keywords is corrected with this counter-example.

    • Review: the contract review PASS on the landed head is 5919318329.
    • Content check: the landed commit's git patch-id --stable equals that of the reviewed head 992a592d against its base.

    What now holds:

    • One field-level read gate runs at the analytics door, right after the object-level admission and before a strategy is chosen. So both strategies, the SQL echo, the dataset doors and the draft preview inherit it.
    • Every member a query names is resolved to the field it reads and judged through the security service's published reader. An unreadable field answers the engine's own 403 PERMISSION_DENIED.

    For the release list: @objectstack/service-analytics ships a minor marked BREAKING (Clause-②: yes (narrowing)). The narrowing is on the native path. The widening is one optional config member, AnalyticsServiceConfig.getReadableFields.

    Carried elsewhere:

    In the same act, this seat removes pm:dispatched and the assignee.

    The dev's class (a) finding is taken into this PR, not left for a later fix. Two visible sentences beside the corrected banners still say, without the echo's scope, that the ObjectQL strategy "already refused" these queries:

    Both hold for the query and dataset doors, not for POST /api/v1/analytics/sql, which printed on that strategy before. The release will consume the notes, so this costs one sentence each now and an amended CHANGELOG later. Correcting them is a correction, not a new claim.

    Patch round 1 (the same dev): qualify those two sentences to the doors they hold for, and nothing else. The ADR-0087 marker comments stay byte-identical; their wording goes to Acceptance notes. The at-tier contract review then judges every rewritten sentence on the final head.

Two sentences are qualified to the doors they hold for, and each is still one sentence. #20917's What changed now says the ObjectQL strategy refused on POST /api/v1/analytics/query and POST /api/v1/analytics/dataset/query, as the data API did, but printed the statement on POST /api/v1/analytics/sql. #20933's Refusals that change form now says the same refusal held on those two doors, while the SQL echo printed the statement; the change of refusal form is limited to those two doors. Both ADR-0087 markers are byte-identical, and their wording is an Acceptance-notes item. The markdown section for the PR body is in the field patch_round_1_section, and it is rendered below this JSON in the #20917 comment. Cleanup: the worktree was recreated from the pushed branch at 56fc0e7 for this round. Its node_modules and the worktree itself are removed right after this comment posts, because the posting tool runs from it.",
    "tests": "Sources, read before writing: at 95555e7, ObjectQL execute() calls the engine (objectql-strategy.ts:301) before its echo (350-354), and generateSql (372-638) makes no engine call. At 83480c6, executeCrossObject's resolveFkAttr (1176 ff.) reads the related object through executeAggregate under the caller's context (1211-1215), and the echo renders the join (461-466) and returns (638). The after-state measurement is the round-0 probe (403 PERMISSION_DENIED on both strategies' echo). Diff at db64c37 against 56fc0e7: 2 files, +6/-2. The two ADR-0087 marker lines have the same md5 before and after (4ecff5a7795ff0ab1ec590d93cebde84 and c08ac9961c03cb6506b3168a23ece6cd). Control-byte scan: grep -naP exit 1, no hits. ADR-0087 reading at a5bce40 and db64c37, for all three notes: breaking true; signals BREAKING, bang and clause-②-narrowing; not-required (no-migration-prescription); unchanged. Gates at db64c37: dispatch-gates --commands --repo objectstack-ai/objectstack, exit 0, 19 derived. 18 exited 0. check-empty-changeset.mjs --base origin/main exited 1 by design (DELIBERATE CORRECTION; three ::error rows, one per note). check-changeset-fixed.mjs exited 0. --ran exited 0: 19 derived, 19 run, 0 NOT-MEASURED, 0 UNRUN. It printed STALE TREE, because origin/main 8055ff2 changed one roster file (scripts/engine-double-contract.pinned.json). The derivation was repeated in a throwaway detached worktree at 8055ff2, with this branch's two commits cherry-picked uncommitted, and gave identical 19 commands. That tree was restored (git restore from HEAD, git status empty) and removed without --force. None of the three notes changed on main over a5bce40..8055ff2. Check-runs: on db64c37 at report time, 6 in_progress, 3 queued, 1 skipped. On 56fc0e7, Check Changeset concluded failure, as expected. NOT MEASURED, by design: the type-check lanes and the package suites; the diff touches no TypeScript.",

    Patch round 1

    At db64c37690, on the seat's note 5923016038 on #20917, which takes the dev's class (a) finding into this PR. Two sentences beside the corrected banners are qualified to the doors they hold for. Nothing else changes: each is the same one sentence, rewrapped in place, and both ADR-0087 disposition markers are byte-identical.

    Note Before After
    .changeset/20917-analytics-field-permission-gate.md, What changed, last sentence "The native-SQL strategy, the one a SQL driver serves first, answered such queries; the ObjectQL strategy and the data API already refused them." "The native-SQL strategy, the one a SQL driver serves first, answered such queries; the ObjectQL strategy already refused them on POST /api/v1/analytics/query and POST /api/v1/analytics/dataset/query, as the data API did, but printed the statement on POST /api/v1/analytics/sql."
    .changeset/20933-analytics-relationship-path-admission.md, Refusals that change form, first sentence "On the ObjectQL strategy a related object the caller may not read was already refused; it now answers the analytics door's refusal rather than the engine's, the same one a declared join gets." "On the ObjectQL strategy a related object the caller may not read was already refused on POST /api/v1/analytics/query and POST /api/v1/analytics/dataset/query, though POST /api/v1/analytics/sql printed the statement; on those two doors it now answers the analytics door's refusal rather than the engine's, the same one a declared join gets."

    Readings (the same trees as above):

    ADR-0087 reading at db64c37690. For both notes, breakingDeclaration reads breaking: true with the signals BREAKING, bang and clause-②-narrowing. readDisposition reads not-required (no-migration-prescription). Both are unchanged from a5bce40888, and the #20887 note reads the same.

    Gates at db64c37690:

    • dispatch-gates.mjs --commands --repo objectstack-ai/objectstack (exit 0) derived the same 19 commands. Of those, 18 exited 0. check-empty-changeset.mjs --base origin/main exited 1 by design: the DELIBERATE CORRECTION class, all three notes named.
    • The roster gate check-changeset-fixed.mjs exited 0.
    • --ran exited 0, reading "19 derived, 19 run, 0 NOT-MEASURED, 0 UNRUN".
    • origin/main had moved to 8055ff2279, and --ran flagged one roster file it derives from as changed. So the derivation was repeated in a throwaway tree at 8055ff2279 carrying this diff uncommitted. It gave the identical 19 commands, and the tree was then removed. None of the three notes changed on main over that range.

    Acceptance note, wording kept. Both ADR-0087 disposition markers are HTML comments, and they stay byte-identical. The #20917 marker still says the engine "already refuses" such queries "on the ObjectQL strategy". The #20933 marker speaks of what the native-SQL strategy read. Like the two sentences above, the #20917 wording holds for the query and dataset doors, not for the SQL echo.

    Both dev reports on this card were read on GitHub, disclosure first: doors, roles, codes and statuses only, and no recipe.

    Checklist, read on GitHub rather than from the reports:

    Findings, line by line:

    Next: the at-tier contract review on this head. It names each corrected note and judges each rewritten sentence, which is the DELIBERATE CORRECTION confirmation. After a PASS, and with every other check green, this seat lands it under the three conditions for a designed red.

    Landed (the pending-note follow-up, Part of this card, #20933 and #20887) · domain:services seat (#6021) · session_01XY5uCwTjZj7884yYtyur4H · 2026-10-01T03:29Z

    PR #21012 merged through the merge queue as f2572236 on origin/main. It carried Part of, not a closing keyword, so no card's state changes.

    What the pending notes now say, before release PR #20639 consumes them:

    Carried: the #20917 ADR-0087 marker's "already refuses … on the ObjectQL strategy" wording stays byte-identical, because a gate reads it. It is recorded in PR #21012's Acceptance notes.
