Summary

  • Phase 1 — Cache-based BlacklistManager: Rate-limit and auto-blacklist IPs that fail event stream authentication. Uses Django cache with atomic cache.incr(), timing-safe credential comparison via hmac.compare_digest, rightmost XFF IP extraction, and proxy validation before blacklist checks.
  • Phase 2 — DB-driven per-org settings: New EventStreamSetting model (one per organization) with IP allowlists, admin-managed blocklists, and configurable auto-blacklist thresholds. CRUD API at /v1/event-stream-settings/ with clear-blocked action. Django post_save signal invalidates cache on settings change. Falls back to global Dynaconf defaults when no DB row exists.

Key design decisions

  • Global blacklist (not per-stream) — brute-forcing one stream blocks all
  • OneToOneField to Organization for one-settings-row-per-org
  • BlacklistManager.check_ip_policy() checks blocked IPs, auto-blacklist cache, then allowlist
  • Per-org cache keys (es_blacklist:{org_id}:{ip}) for org isolation
  • No complex migration — existing orgs start with empty lists
  • Max 255 IPs per allow/block list with ipaddress.ip_address() validation

Test plan

  • Unit tests: tests/unit/test_blacklist.py — existing global blacklist tests still pass
  • Unit tests: tests/unit/test_blacklist_org_aware.py — per-org threshold, org isolation, allowlist/blocklist enforcement
  • Unit tests: tests/unit/test_event_stream_setting_model.py — cache helper, signal invalidation, Dynaconf fallback
  • Integration tests: tests/integration/api/test_event_stream_setting.py — CRUD, validation, clear-blocked, duplicate org rejection
  • Integration tests: existing test_event_stream*.py tests unbroken
  • ATF: deploy with EDA_MODE=testing or EDA_EVENT_STREAM_BLACKLIST_THRESHOLD=0

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The event-stream API now uses timing-safe credential comparisons and cache-backed IP blacklisting. It tracks authentication failures and invalid UUID attempts with configurable thresholds, windows, and blacklist duration.

Changes

Event-stream security controls

Layer / File(s) Summary
Timing-safe authentication comparisons
src/aap_eda/core/utils/crypto/__init__.py, src/aap_eda/api/event_stream_authentication.py, tests/unit/test_timing_safe_compare.py
HMAC, token, and Basic authentication use the shared timing-safe comparison helper. Basic credentials now include a space after the colon before Base64 encoding.
Cache-backed blacklist policy
src/aap_eda/api/blacklist.py, src/aap_eda/settings/defaults.py, tests/unit/test_blacklist.py
BlacklistManager tracks authentication failures and invalid UUID attempts. Configurable thresholds, windows, and blacklist duration control cache entries and global IP blocking.
Event-stream request enforcement
src/aap_eda/api/views/external_event_stream.py
The view resolves client IPs, checks blacklists before processing, records invalid UUID attempts, and records authentication failures before re-raising errors.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🟠 High · up to a91df

The authentication hardening currently allows untrusted forwarded addresses to poison blocking state and can make failed authentication on one stream block access to all streams; valid Basic credentials may also be rejected. The PR is not ready to merge until these authentication and availability issues are corrected.

In `@src/aap_eda/api/event_stream_authentication.py`:
- Line 99: Update TokenAuthentication.authenticate and
BasicAuthentication.authenticate so malformed non-ASCII credentials cannot
escape as TypeError from hmac.compare_digest; compare encoded byte operands or
catch and convert the TypeError to AuthenticationFailed, preserving the existing
authentication-failure handling.

In `@src/aap_eda/api/views/external_event_stream.py`:
- Around line 294-309: Update _check_rate_limit and _record_failure to use a
shared production-safe cache backend with an atomic check-and-increment or
reservation for the per-event-stream/client key, preventing concurrent requests
from bypassing the threshold or overwriting increments. Ensure production cache
configuration does not use process-local LocMemCache while preserving the
existing failure threshold and window.
- Around line 288-292: Update _get_client_ip to use REMOTE_ADDR whenever
EVENT_STREAM_REQUIRE_TRUSTED_PROXY is disabled, ignoring caller-supplied
X-Forwarded-For values. When trusted-proxy validation is enabled, only use
X-Forwarded-For after the existing trusted-proxy logic overwrites or validates
it, otherwise fall back to REMOTE_ADDR.

  Replace timing-vulnerable != comparisons with hmac.compare_digest()
  in TokenAuthentication and BasicAuthentication. Add per-stream
  per-IP rate limiting on failed authentication attempts to prevent
  brute-force credential recovery.
Introduce EventStreamSetting model (one per organization) to replace
static Dynaconf settings for IP allowlists, blocklists, and auto-
blacklist configuration. Adds a CRUD API endpoint with a clear-blocked
action, Django signal-based cache invalidation, and per-org IP policy
enforcement in the external event stream view.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
  Remove threshold-based auto-blacklisting in favor of per-org IP
  allowlists. Blocked IPs are now tracked in the DB for admin
  visibility — admins can promote them to the allowlist or remove
  them. Adding an IP to the allowlist auto-removes it from blocked.
