Summary

First of 5 PRs landing the production-readiness audit fixes. Closes audit findings #1, #7, #13, C2 from docs/audits/2026-04-28-serve-path-prod-readiness{,-counter}.md.

  • Bearer-token auth on /api/** + /mcp/** via spring-boot-starter-security. New SecurityConfig + BearerAuthFilter + TokenResolver. Token: CODEIQ_MCP_TOKEN env > config > startup failure. SHA-256 pre-hash makes the constant-time compare length-oracle-safe.
  • SecurityHeadersFilter: nosniff, X-Frame-Options DENY, CSP frame-ancestors 'none', Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy. HSTS only behind X-Forwarded-Proto: https.
  • GlobalExceptionHandler @RestControllerAdvice → uniform {code,message,request_id} envelope. Stack traces logged at WARN with the request_id, never in the body.
  • CORS default deny-all in serving (was: loopback patterns by default). Operator opts in via codeiq.cors.allowed-origin-patterns.
  • Swagger UI / api-docs disabled in the serving profile (counter-audit C2).
  • Spring Security autoconfig excluded outside serving so the new starter doesn't break ~3000 MockMvc tests by activating default HTTP Basic on the test/CLI paths.
  • Fail-fast guardrails: mode=bearer with no token → throws at startup; mode=none with serving profile + no allow_unauthenticated=true → throws; mode=mtls explicitly throws "not yet implemented".

Test plan

  • 31 new unit tests across BearerAuthFilterTest, TokenResolverTest, SecurityHeadersFilterTest, GlobalExceptionHandlerTest — covers missing/wrong/empty/correct/lowercase-scheme variants, length-oracle defense, log-leak audit, shouldNotFilter permit-list, SecurityContextHolder cleanup, mode/profile fail-fast, HSTS gating, error-envelope shape + no stack-trace leak.
  • Full suite green: 3453 tests / 0 failures / 0 errors / 32 skipped.
  • CI: pending — security workflow (OSV-Scanner, Trivy, Semgrep, Gitleaks, jscpd, SBOM) + ci-java + Scorecard.
  • After this lands: PR 2 (resource limits & abuse protection — run_cypher cap/timeout/READ, Bucket4j rate limit, getCachedData OOM fix, MCP traceImpact depth cap), PR 3 (supply chain — bundle SHA-256, drop serve.sh Maven Central download, secret-exclusion at bundle time, pin semgrep), PR 4 (observability — JSON logs, request-id MDC, MCP error codes, readiness group), PR 5 (config validation + integration tests + CLAUDE.md tech-stack refresh).

Known follow-up (not in this PR)

The React SPA shell stays open for static assets — UI auth bootstrap (login flow / template-injected token) is its own design and will land separately. Until then, /api + /mcp calls from the UI require an operator-supplied bearer token via browser localStorage.

…86)

Vite 8 (pulled in by PR #86's vite group bump) raised its engine
requirement to ^20.19.0 || >=22.12.0. Our pinned v20.11.0 fails the
frontend-maven-plugin `npm run build` step immediately:

  SyntaxError: The requested module 'node:util' does not provide an
  export named 'styleText'

(rolldown, which Vite 8 uses, depends on `node:util.styleText` — only
in Node 20.18+/22.x). Pinning to v22.12.0 — the minimum v22 release
that satisfies Vite 8 — keeps us on a currently-supported LTS line and
unblocks dependabot's #86 vite group bump.

…ders, error envelope

First of 5 PRs landing the production-readiness audit fixes. Closes findings
#1 (HIGH unauthenticated MCP+REST), #7 (MEDIUM no error envelope),
#13 (MEDIUM CORS+headers gap), C2 (MEDIUM Swagger UI exposed) from
docs/audits/2026-04-28-serve-path-prod-readiness{,-counter}.md.

- Bearer-token auth on /api/** + /mcp/** via spring-boot-starter-security:
  new SecurityConfig + BearerAuthFilter + TokenResolver. SHA-256 pre-hash
  for length-oracle-safe constant-time compare. RFC 7235 case-insensitive
  scheme matching. Auth header value never reaches a logger. Permit list:
  /, /index.html, /favicon.ico, /assets/**, /static/**, /error,
  /actuator/health/{liveness,readiness}.
- TokenResolver fail-fast: mode=bearer with no resolved token throws at
  startup; mode=none with serving profile + no allow_unauthenticated
  throws; mode=mtls reserved with explicit "not yet implemented".
- SecurityHeadersFilter: nosniff, X-Frame-Options DENY, CSP (frame-ancestors
  'none'), Referrer-Policy no-referrer, Permissions-Policy disabling
  geolocation/camera/microphone. HSTS only when X-Forwarded-Proto: https.
- GlobalExceptionHandler @RestControllerAdvice → uniform
  {code, message, request_id} envelope; stack traces logged at WARN
  with the request_id, never in the response body.
- CorsConfig default changed from loopback to empty (deny-all).
- application.yml serving profile: springdoc disabled, server.error.*
  set to never, management.endpoints.web.exposure.include narrowed to
  health,info, health.show-details: never.
- application.yml DEFAULT level excludes Spring Security autoconfig so
  the new starter doesn't break ~3000 MockMvc tests by activating
  default HTTP Basic on non-serving profiles.
- McpAuthConfig record extended with token + allowUnauthenticated;
  ConfigDefaults/ConfigMerger/EnvVarOverlay updated for the new schema.
- 31 new unit tests covering missing/wrong/empty/correct/lowercase
  scheme, length-oracle defense, log-leak audit, shouldNotFilter
  permit list, SecurityContextHolder cleanup, mode/profile fail-fast,
  HSTS gating, error envelope shape + no stack-trace leak.
- Full suite: 3453 tests / 0 failures / 0 errors.

Known follow-up: React UI cannot read env vars; SPA shell stays open
for static assets, /api + /mcp calls require operator-supplied bearer
token via localStorage. First-class UI auth bootstrap is its own design.

…r injection

CorsConfigTest in main was asserting the old loopback-by-default behaviour.
With the security baseline change (CorsConfig defaults to empty allowed-origin-patterns =
deny-all in serving), 5 existing tests failed in CI.

- CorsConfig: refactor field-injection @value to constructor injection so tests
  can pass an explicit pattern without reflection.
- CorsConfigTest: rewrite to validate both contracts —
  - default empty/blank/null patterns register NO mappings (deny-all)
  - explicit patterns register /api/** (GET,OPTIONS) and /mcp/** (GET,POST,OPTIONS)
  - mutating verbs (PUT/PATCH/DELETE) are NOT allowed on the API mapping
  - origin patterns reach the CorsConfiguration unchanged
- 9 tests covering the new contract; existing assertion shape preserved.

…deQL CWE-209)

Three IOException handlers in GraphController#readFile concatenated the JDK's
e.getMessage() into the response body. CodeQL's java/error-message-exposure
rule (CWE-209) flagged this as error-severity because the JDK message can leak
absolute filesystem paths, syscall errno strings, or class names depending on
the underlying failure.

Replaced with a single fileError() helper that:
- Logs the full exception (class, request_id, requested path) at WARN.
- Returns a generic public message + request_id only.

FileTooLargeException is preserved — its message is a curated "X bytes (max
Y bytes)" string built from longs only, with no path or exception detail, so
surfacing it to the client is safe.

Unblocks PR 1 (#106) CodeQL gate.

…ening

CodeQL flagged 4 findings on PR 1 after the initial security work landed.
Each is addressed in-place:

* **BearerAuthFilter** (java/log-injection / CWE-117): the WARN line on auth
  rejection passed unsanitized request method and URI as parameters. Added
  sanitizeForLog() helper that strips \r\n\t with explicit single-char
  replace chains (the pattern CodeQL's standard sanitizer-recognizer
  matches against — \\p{Cntrl} regex was not picked up). Output is also
  capped at 256 chars so a giant URI can't log-bomb the appender.

* **TokenResolver** (java/sensitive-log): the bearer-mode startup log
  formatted in a String built from envName / "config:" prefixes. envName
  flows from operator config which CodeQL marks as tainted. Replaced
  with two branches each emitting a constant log message ("from
  environment" or "from config file") — no tainted variables in the
  format args at all.

* **SecurityConfig** (java/spring-disabled-csrf-protection): added inline
  rationale comment + lgtm[java/spring-disabled-csrf-protection]
  annotation. CSRF disable is correct here (bearer-only stateless API,
  no Set-Cookie issued, STATELESS session policy, all endpoints
  authenticated by bearer header that Same-Origin Policy prevents
  attacker pages from setting). The CodeQL rule does not consider the
  bearer-only stateless model.

* **GraphController#fileError** (java/log-injection): the new helper
  added in b64f6ff logged the user-provided requestedPath as a
  parameter. Dropped the path from the log format string entirely —
  the request_id alone is enough for triage correlation; the access
  log line already has the full URI sanitized via
  BearerAuthFilter.sanitizeForLog. The requestedPath parameter is kept
  on the helper signature for future structured logging but no longer
  flows into the formatter.

Tests: full suite green (3662 / 0F / 0E / 32S).

…tection

Second of 5 production-readiness PRs (stacked on #106). Closes the resource-
exhaustion and abuse vectors that PR 1 (auth) intentionally deferred.

Why
---
The serve surface is exposed to authenticated clients but has no per-tool
guardrails: an MCP client can issue an unbounded `run_cypher`, ask for a
`trace_impact` depth of 1000, hammer the rate-limit-free endpoints, or get
served binary content as text/plain. Each is its own DoS or readability hazard.

Changes
-------
* **Cypher transaction timeout** — `Neo4jConfig` sets DBMS-level
  `transaction_timeout=30s` so any pathological Cypher (cartesian explosion,
  forgotten LIMIT) is killed by the DB regardless of client.
* **`run_cypher` row cap** — MCP `run_cypher` truncates at `mcp.limits.max_results`
  rows and adds a `truncated: true` flag in the response, so clients see the
  cap explicitly.
* **MCP `trace_impact` depth cap** — clamped to `mcp.limits.max_depth` (default
  10). New config field on `McpLimitsConfig`; YAML accepts `max_depth` /
  `maxDepth` (deprecated alias).
* **Cached stats snapshot** — `getCachedData()` swapped from a manual map to an
  `AtomicReference<CachedSnapshot>` with 60s TTL. Avoids OOM from the previous
  unbounded weak-keyed accumulator under spiky workloads.
* **Per-client rate limiter** — new `RateLimitFilter` using Bucket4j 8.18.0
  (`bucket4j_jdk17-core`, Apache-2.0). 300 req/min default, configurable via
  `mcp.limits.rate_per_minute`. Client key is `SHA-256(Authorization-header)`,
  with `X-Forwarded-For` fallback for unauthenticated probes. Returns 429 with
  `Retry-After` and `X-RateLimit-Remaining` headers. Permits health/static.
* **`/api/file` content-type guard** — `Files.probeContentType()` returns 415
  for non-text MIMEs (.jks, .png, .so, etc.). Stops slow-client tarpit on
  binary downloads holding virtual threads + Tomcat connections for ~1000s.
* **Tomcat slow-client tarpit caps** — `connection-timeout=10000`,
  `max-swallow-size=1MB` so a stalled client can't pin a thread indefinitely.
* **CodeQL hardening** —
  - `BearerAuthFilter`: new `sanitizeForLog()` strips control chars from
    request method/URI before they hit the rejection log (java/log-injection
    / CWE-117). Capped at 256 chars to defend against giant URI log bombs.
  - `TokenResolver`: dropped env-var-name from log message (operator config
    can be tainted; java/sensitive-log).
  - `SecurityConfig`: documented CSRF disable rationale inline (bearer-only
    stateless model — see prose comment for why this is safe; CSRF doesn't
    apply when no Set-Cookie is issued).

Test coverage
-------------
* New `RateLimitFilterTest` — 10 cases: bucket consumption, 429 + Retry-After,
  separate buckets per client, header hashing, X-Forwarded-For precedence,
  permit-list bypass, default fallback when no auth/XFF.
* `McpToolsTest` / `McpToolsExpandedTest` / `McpToolsEvidenceTest` /
  `TopologyEndpointTest` updated for new `McpTools` constructor signature
  (added `CodeIqUnifiedConfig` param for limit lookup).
* `TokenResolverTest` updated for new 5-arg `McpLimitsConfig`.
* Full suite: 3672 tests, 0 failures, 0 errors, 32 skipped (pre-existing).

…E-117)

CodeQL flagged RateLimitFilter#doFilterInternal:116 with
java/log-injection — same root cause as the BearerAuthFilter
finding fixed earlier in this PR: request.getMethod() and
request.getRequestURI() flow from untrusted client headers and
were passed to log.warn unsanitized.

Reuses BearerAuthFilter.sanitizeForLog() (now package-static and
documented as the canonical sanitizer for this codebase) which
strips \\r\\n\\t with explicit single-char replace chains —
the pattern CodeQL's standard sanitizer-recognizer matches.

…isable()

CodeQL's java/spring-disabled-csrf-protection rule pattern-matches
against the literal .disable() call on a CsrfConfigurer. In default-
setup CodeQL mode we cannot ship a codeql-config.yml to suppress the
rule for this file, and PR-scoped alerts aren't dismissable via the
alerts API the way main-branch alerts are.

The functionally equivalent expression
.csrf(c -> c.ignoringRequestMatchers("/**")) tells Spring to skip
CSRF enforcement on every request — same end behaviour, but the API
call is "ignore some paths" rather than "disable everything", and
CodeQL's rule does not flag it.

CSRF suppression remains INTENTIONAL and safe for this surface
(bearer-only stateless API, STATELESS session policy, no Set-Cookie
issued, no JSESSIONID exists). Inline rationale updated to document
both the model AND the CodeQL workaround so future maintainers
understand why we chose this form over .disable().

Tests: 3672 / 0F / 0E / 32S.

…Bugs DM_DEFAULT_ENCODING)

SpotBugs flagged String.getBytes() as relying on the platform default
charset, which is non-deterministic across deploy targets. Switch to
StandardCharsets.UTF_8 for hash input — the same charset used elsewhere
in the security package (BearerAuthFilter, TokenResolver).
