Daniel Hiller de4d768831 fix: close the gaps a security review found in the default install 
Reported against 2.2.1 by someone reading the source. Every finding held.

**Sign-in had no ceiling.** Failures were logged with the caller's address
and nothing more. Two counters now — one per address, one per account —
because the two attacks look different: one source working through many
accounts is caught by the first, many sources working on one account by the
second, and behind a proxy only the second still means anything.

The count is kept in the process that serves the request. PLANKA needs no
Redis and the stock deployment is one container; run several and each keeps
its own count, which multiplies the ceiling by their number. That trade is
written where the limits are configured.

**The second factor could be guessed at leisure.** Six digits, and a
pending token that stayed valid for its full ten minutes however many codes
were wrong. Wrong codes are now counted on the session row — in the
database, so the count survives a restart and holds across every process —
and when the budget is spent the session is destroyed. After that even the
right code is refused and the login starts over from the password.

**Avatars, background images and favicons** checked the token's signature
and nothing else, so a revoked session, a deactivated account or a changed
password all kept working there for as long as the signature lasted, which
is a year by default. The five checks the API makes now live in one helper
that both use, rather than the shortened copy that had drifted from it.

**A link attachment's favicon** was fetched from wherever the URL pointed.
Storing a link is harmless — it is a string the user typed — but fetching
its icon is a request the server makes to an address the user chose, and
whether an icon came back reported on what is reachable from inside the
network. Server-side fetches now refuse private, loopback and link-local
addresses, `169.254.169.254` among them. The attachment is still created:
linking to an internal wiki is a legitimate thing to do, and it was the
server's own request that had to stop.

**The signing key.** Our own compose file ships `notsecretkey`, and it is
printed in the documentation — so on any instance that copied it, anyone can
sign a token for any account. PLANKA now says so on every start, and keeps
saying it, along with a key that is missing or shorter than 32 characters.
The placeholder carries the warning inline, where it is copied from.

**The backup script** wrote password hashes, live sessions, TOTP secrets and
SMTP credentials to an unencrypted archive. `BACKUP_PASSPHRASE` now encrypts
it, and without one the script says what it just put on disk. It also says
what it is — an example for the stock compose stack, not a backup concept —
and names the window between the database dump and the file copy, which no
ordering closes.

Raw Blame History

[Unreleased]

Security

  • Limit sign-in attempts per client address and per account
  • Destroy the pending session after repeated wrong two-factor codes, so a pending token can no longer be guessed against for its full lifetime
  • Check the session, the account status and the password age — not only the token signature — before serving avatars, background images and favicons, so a revoked token no longer works there
  • Refuse server-side fetches to private, loopback and link-local addresses when a link attachment's favicon is retrieved
  • Warn on every start while SECRET_KEY is missing, too short, or still the value from the example configuration
  • Encrypt the backup archive when BACKUP_PASSPHRASE is set, and say what an unencrypted one contains

Added

  • Add db:clean-orphaned-records script to report and remove reference rows left behind by an incomplete delete

Fixed

  • Fix a blank home view when a project manager or board membership points at a project that no longer exists
