fix(node): gate /ipfs/pins and /arweave/anchors behind authentication (#121) - #543
Two node-wide metadata endpoints accepted unsigned requests, and the ?repo= variant on the Arweave anchors endpoint also accepted signed non-readers. This closes the anonymous-denial path on both endpoints and the authorization hole on the scoped anchor path.
Continues #134 (the commits are carried over unchanged; main was merged in as a separate commit, and a maintainer commit adapts the two optional_signature layers to from_fn_with_state after main moved that middleware to take SignatureBodyLimit).
Closes#121 (anonymous-denial half; the wider enumerable-listings class stays out of scope, see Notes).
Motivation & context
/api/v1/ipfs/pins and /api/v1/arweave/anchors answered anonymous callers. The scoped ?repo= form of the anchors listing also let a signed non-reader enumerate a private repo's anchors.
Kind of change
Security fix
What changed
/api/v1/ipfs/pins (list_pins): ipfs_pins_routes is its own Router with optional_signature applied before the merge with ipfs_cid_routes. Handler rejects requests without a verified AuthenticatedDid with 401.
/api/v1/arweave/anchors (list_anchors): optional_signature on the route (it was missing entirely). With ?repo=<owner>/<name>, the slug parses and authorize_repo_read runs before the SQL query; missing repos, quarantined mirrors, and signed non-readers collapse to the standard 404 (repo_not_found). Limit clamps to [0, 200] before SQL. The filter keys on the canonical stored slug ({normalize_owner_key(record.owner_did)}/{record.name}) resolved by the authz helper, not the user-supplied ?repo= string, so a full did:key:.../name admit-form cannot return a false empty page.
Merge resolution: main had registered /arweave/anchors publicly pending this issue; the merged tree keeps the gated registration and retains main's note that the verify endpoint is deferred.
Maintainer commit 0140c9cd: both optional_signature layers use from_fn_with_state(SignatureBodyLimit(SIGNED_BODY_LIMIT)) to match the middleware signature on current main.

Protocol & signing impact
Touches DID / did:key, Ed25519 / RFC 9421 signatures, UCAN, ref certs, or P2P wire formats
Discussed in an issue before implementation
Backward-compatible with existing nodes and previously signed history
Notes for reviewers
The global pin listing and the unscoped anchor listing are still permissionless-identity enumerable: any self-minted did:key can read them. Authentication is not authorization on these. Closing that is the #136 class, deliberately not bundled here so the review stays on the wiring change.
New build_router regressions cover the full contract: unsigned 401, valid signature 200, malformed signature 401, scoped unsigned 401, scoped owner 200, scoped non-reader 404 with no anchor metadata in the body, scoped missing-repo 404 in the standard repo_not_found shape, and ?limit=-1 clamping to an empty 200.
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Anchor listings can be filtered by repository, with access checks applied to repository-scoped requests.
Anchor and pin listings require an authenticated request.
Bug Fixes
Anchor requests limit results to 0–200 and return clear errors for invalid repository slugs.
Search continuation tokens are omitted when they would not advance results.
Pin-list requests use a separate rate limit from CID requests.
…#134)
Add auth rejection to list_pins and list_anchors handlers. The pin index
spans the entire node and would expose metadata for every object ever
pushed; anonymous callers must not see it.
- Require AuthenticatedDid extension in both handlers, return 401 when absent
- Add server.rs regression test for anonymous rejection through build_router
- Fix closed-pool tests to pass authenticated requests (test 503 path)
…sibility
Closes the review follow-up on #134: a signed non-reader could pass the
auth-layer check on `?repo=<owner>/<name>` and obtain private-repo anchor
metadata (ref names, old/new SHAs, CIDs, irys tx ids). The auth check
proved only that the signature was valid; it did not bind the request to
the canonical repo-read policy.
* Parse the slug through `validate_repo_slug` (same helper the sync path
uses) and call `authorize_repo_read` before the SQL query. Missing
repos, quarantined mirrors, and signed non-readers all collapse to the
standard 404 (`repo_not_found`).
* The unscoped global listing stays auth-only (#121 narrowing; the wider
permissionless-identity enumeration is the #136 class, out of scope).
* Clamp the limit to `[0, 200]` so `?limit=-1` no longer reaches Postgres
as `LIMIT -1`.
Five new `build_router` regressions cover the full production contract
through the real `optional_signature` middleware: scoped unsigned 401,
scoped owner 200, scoped non-reader 404 with no anchor metadata leaked
in the body, scoped missing-repo 404 indistinguishable from non-reader,
and `?limit=-1` clamped to an empty 200.
…ood brake
Follow-up to #134: the previous reordering put `/api/v1/ipfs/pins` and
`/ipfs/{cid}` under the same `rate_limit_by_ip` + `IpRateLimiter` layer
stack, so both routes shared the resolver's flood brake bucket. That
bucket is documented as the once-per-request brake for `GET /ipfs/{cid}`
because the resolver can drive bounded-but-expensive repo walks. The
pin listing is a single `list_pinned_cids()` call and has no reason to
share the bucket. Sharing meant /ipfs/{cid} traffic could exhaust the
bucket and 429 the pins endpoint, and signed pin polling could exhaust
the bucket and 429 legitimate CID reads.
Compose `ipfs_routes` from two sub-routers with independent policies,
then merge:
* `/ipfs/{cid}` keeps `optional_signature` + `rate_limit_by_ip` + the
`IpRateLimiter` extension. Same behavior as before #134.
* `/api/v1/ipfs/pins` gets only `optional_signature`. Auth-required
(handler denies with 401), but no rate limit — it has nothing to
flood.
Two new `build_router` regressions exercise the bucket independence
through `TrustedProxy::XForwardedFor`:
* 5 signed pin requests against a size-2 CID bucket all 200, then a
`/ipfs/{cid}` from the same IP also 200 (pins did not debit the
bucket).
* A `/ipfs/{cid}` exhausts a size-1 CID bucket (200, then 429), then
a signed pin from the same IP is 200 (the bucket does not gate
pins).
All 65 tests in `server::tests::` + `test_support::tests::ipfs_*`
still pass, including the existing 429 tests for the CID resolver.
After authorize_repo_read succeeds, the SQL filter used the raw ?repo=
string (format!("{owner}/{name}")). Anchor rows are stored with
normalize_owner_key(owner_did)/name (short key), so a caller using
?repo=did:key:.../name passed authz but got anchors: [] — a false
empty page that broke callers that legitimately pass the full DID
form. Build the filter from record.owner_did normalized and
record.name instead, matching the shape the seeder uses.
P2 — signed_scoped_anchors_full_did_form_matches_stored_slug_through_build_router now seeds
a second repo under a different owner and asserts irys-other-repo-tx is absent. Negative
control: flipping the production filter to None made the test go RED with count: 2 showing
the cross-repo leak.
P3 — let short = owner_did.split(':').next_back().unwrap() replaced with let short =
crate::db::normalize_owner_key(&owner_did).to_string(). Reader and writer now share one
convention.
P3 — PR #134 description updated: pins bullet now describes the actual pre-merge layering
(and cites the axum-layer-vs-merge-pitfall memory entry), and round 2's stored-slug
normalization is added as its own bullet with the regression's coverage.
5/5 anchor-related tests pass, cargo fmt --check clean.
The pin and anchor listing endpoints now require authenticated callers. Repository-scoped anchor requests validate the slug and authorize repository reads. The pin-list route remains outside the CID per-IP rate-limit bucket.
list_anchors and list_pins reject requests without an authenticated identity. Scoped anchor requests validate the slug, authorize repository reads, and query using the canonical stored slug. Anchor limits are clamped to 0..=200.
Route signature verification and access tests crates/gitlawb-node/src/server.rs
The pin and anchor routes apply optional HTTP signature verification. Router tests cover unsigned and malformed-signature rejection, signed requests, scoped anchor filtering and authorization, not-found responses, and negative limits.
Integration tests verify that pin-list requests do not consume the CID rate-limit bucket, and that pin-list requests succeed after that bucket is exhausted.
The scoped-anchor denial test checks the wrong repository, so it may miss a metadata leak. Correct the fixture to verify the intended denial.

Explanation
The title names the two endpoints the change gates behind authentication (/ipfs/pins and /arweave/anchors), which matches the main change in the changeset. It follows Conventional Commits format with a scope and an issue reference. The title is specific and short, and it describes the primary change.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description follows the repository template. It includes Summary, Motivation & context (with the issue reference Closes #121), Kind of change (Security fix checked), What changed, How a reviewer can verify (with commands), the completed pre-review checklist, Protocol & signing impact, and Notes for reviewers. It explains what changed, why, and what remains out of scope. Minor gaps: the template's 'Closes #' line uses the issue number, and the protocol checkbox for 'Touches DID / signatures' is unchecked while the change does wire signature-verification middleware onto routes; the author may want to confirm that is not a protocol touch.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
Issue #121 is the only active direct link, so its coding requirements apply.
(1) /api/v1/ipfs/pins [#121]: In crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/ipfs.rs, list_pins now takes auth: Option<Extension<AuthenticatedDid>> and returns AppError::Unauthorized when it is None. Anonymous callers no longer receive the node-wide CID index. This meets the issue's stated minimum ("at minimum stop exposing a node-wide CID index anonymously"). The issue's fuller options (operator-only, or filter to readable objects) are not required by this PR's stated scope.
(2) /api/v1/arweave/anchors [#121]: In crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/arweave.rs, list_anchors returns Unauthorized when no verified identity is present. With ?repo=, it validates the slug, calls crate::api::authorize_repo_read before the SQL query, and maps missing repos, quarantined mirrors, and signed non-readers to the standard RepoNotFound 404. The SQL filter uses the canonical stored slug. The limit is clamped to [0, 200] before the query. This matches the issue's fix: per-?repo= read gating with deny mapped to 404. The response has no new count field, so the post-filter count requirement does not apply.
Residual, outside the issue's stated fix: any verified caller can still read the unscoped anchor listing and the global pin index. The PR states this is the #136 class and defers it.
Correction to the raw change summary: it states that get_by_cid gained a continuation-token change. The incremental diff of crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/ipfs.rs from previous (0140c9c) to head (7e9a5be) is empty. The whole-PR diff from base to head for ipfs.rs contains no get_by_cid change. This claim is not in the reviewed head.
Unresolved uncertainty: the route wiring in crates/gitlawb-node/src/server.rs and the test changes in test_support.rs were not read in this review. The handler-level gates above do not depend on how the route is wired, because each handler requires a verified Extension. The build_router regressions named in the PR description were not executed or read.

Explanation
Changes reviewed against the whole-PR merge base (0cdb4bc) and the incremental range from 0140c9c to 7e9a5be:
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/ipfs.rs: auth gate on list_pins [#121] and an AuthenticatedDid test extension in the closed-pool test. Directly implements #121. No get_by_cid change is present (see the linked-issue explanation).
crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/arweave.rs: auth gate, scoped authorization via authorize_repo_read, canonical slug filter, limit clamp, and a closed-pool test extension. Directly implements #121.
crates/gitlawb-node/src/server.rs: optional_signature on both routes and a separate pins Router. Needed so the handlers receive a verified identity. The pins route now sits outside the CID route's per-IP limiter, per the change summary. This is a side effect of the required router split. The PR description does not mention it.
crates/gitlawb-node/src/test_support.rs: tests for independent rate-limit buckets on the pins and CID routes. These tests cover the router split above.
Maintainer commit 0140c9c: switches both optional_signature layers to from_fn_with_state(SignatureBodyLimit(...)). Needed to match current main.
No unrelated change was demonstrated.
Unresolved uncertainty: server.rs and test_support.rs were not read in full. The rate-limit side effect is assessed from the change summary and the PR description only. The incremental diffs for server.rs, test_support.rs, and arweave.rs since 0140c9c were not read.

Filter unscoped anchors by repository read access.
If an owner makes a previously public repository private, a signed stranger can still list its stored anchors without ?repo=. The response can expose the repository, ref names, SHAs and Irys transaction IDs, even though the scoped request returns 404.
Filter unscoped results using the repository read authorization seam before applying the limit, and derive the count from the filtered results. Add a test for a signed stranger after visibility is restricted.

Assert the repo_not_found error code in the non-reader test.
The doc comment on this test says the 404 is indistinguishable from the missing-repo case. The test checks only the status code and that the body has no leaked values. The missing-repo test at Line 1202 checks v["error"] == "repo_not_found".
If the non-reader path later returns a different 404 body, such as another error code or message, both tests still pass. The existence-oracle regression would go unnoticed. The AGENTS.md learning requires read denials to match the missing-repo response.
Parse the body as JSON and assert the same error code here.
Proposed change
- let body = String::from_utf8_lossy(&bytes);+ let body = String::from_utf8_lossy(&bytes);+ let v: serde_json::Value = serde_json::from_slice(&bytes).expect("json body");+ assert_eq!(+ v["error"], "repo_not_found",+ "non-reader 404 must match the missing-repo 404 shape"+ );
assert!(
!body.contains("irys-secret-tx-DO-NOT-LEAK"),
Based on learnings: "Read-surface denials must not reveal existence: a caller who may not read a repo ... gets the same 404 as a missing repo, never a 403."

Merge readiness
Approval gate: GitHub reports mergeStateStatus: BLOCKED (ruleset requires approving review). Diff is mergeable with live origin/main at b4a3122 (post-merge commit on head).
Checks: Required PR checks on head 0140c9c are green (test (stable), fmt + clippy, build --release, etc.).
CodeRabbit (informational): Suggests filtering unscoped anchor listings by repo visibility — consistent with future #136 work, explicitly out of scope for this PR (see below).
Needs maintainer decision
Residual global index exposure (#136 class): After this PR, any self-minted signed identity can still read the unscoped pin and anchor indexes (documented in PR Notes and SECURITY.md L76). CodeRabbit’s merge-risk note proposes visibility filtering on unscoped anchor results. That is a product decision tracked separately from this auth-wiring slice; not blocking this PR if maintainers accept the documented #121 partial closure.
Findings
🟡 P2 — Complete build_router denial regressions for the new listing gates (AGENTS.md)
📍 Where:crates/gitlawb-node/src/server.rs — unsigned_get_pins_and_anchors_is_401_through_build_router, unsigned_scoped_anchors_is_401_through_build_router, and the anchors side of the optional_signature wiring (pins already has malformed_signature_on_pins_is_401_through_build_router).
💥 What fails: A regression that serves metadata on an unauthorized path, or that drops optional_signature only on anchors, can stay green while violating the repo’s gated-route test contract. Anonymous listing tests assert 401 status only — they do not seed sensitive pin/anchor rows and prove the denial body omits them. There is no malformed-signature regression through build_router for GET /api/v1/arweave/anchors, even though that route now has its own optional_signature stack beside pins.
🔎 Root cause: The PR adds real auth and authz behavior on listing routes but the integration tests do not implement the full gated-handler regression shape the repository requires for every new or changed gate — status-only checks and pins-only middleware coverage are how a later edit re-opens enumeration without failing CI.
📜 Stated contract:
A new gated handler needs tests proving its route-specific gate fires: exercise an unauthorized authenticated caller and an anonymous caller where applicable, assert the exact denial status each way, and assert the body leaks nothing.
🏷️ Attribution: PR-introduced. Merge-base served both listings without authentication; these build_router tests are new/changed on this branch.
📌 In this PR:
unsigned_get_pins_and_anchors_is_401_through_build_router — status only; no seeded pins/anchors; no body oracle
unsigned_scoped_anchors_is_401_through_build_router — status only; no body oracle
malformed_signature_on_pins_is_401_through_build_router — present for pins only
arweave_routesoptional_signature layer — no tampered-signature companion test
🔒 Unchanged on main: Existing deny suites in test_support.rs for other routes (webhooks, replicas, branches) already use seed + body-leak assertions; do not refactor those.
🔧 Required correction: For each in-diff listing denial path above, add build_router regressions that (1) seed identifiable pin/anchor metadata, (2) exercise anonymous (and scoped-unsigned where applicable) denial, (3) assert the response body does not contain seeded secrets, and (4) add malformed_signature_on_anchors_is_401_through_build_router mirroring the pins test. Prefer patterns from test_support.rs non-owner deny tests and existing scoped anchor leak assertions.
🛠️ Author fix: Close the root cause on every In this PR row in one pass — extend the unsigned listing tests and add the anchors malformed-signature test together; do not patch only the first listed test or only pins.
🚫 Out of scope: Implementing #136 visibility filtering on unscoped indexes, changing optional_signature semantics, or editing unrelated route deny suites.
🔵 P3 — Lock scoped non-reader 404 to the same repo_not_found shape as missing repo
📍 Where:crates/gitlawb-node/src/server.rs — signed_scoped_anchors_non_reader_is_404_no_leak_through_build_router vs signed_scoped_anchors_missing_repo_is_404_through_build_router.
💥 What fails: The missing-repo test asserts error == "repo_not_found". The non-reader test asserts no anchor strings in the body but not the error code. A drift in authorize_repo_read error mapping could make non-reader responses distinguishable from missing-repo while still satisfying the no-leak bytes check.
🔎 Root cause: Indistinguishability is only half-encoded in the new scoped anchor suite — leak assertions without the shared JSON error contract the missing-repo test already checks.
📜 Stated contract:
Read-surface denials must not reveal existence: a caller who may not read a repo (or a withheld subtree) gets the same 404 as a missing repo, never a 403.
🏷️ Attribution: PR-introduced (new scoped tests on this branch).
📌 In this PR:
signed_scoped_anchors_non_reader_is_404_no_leak_through_build_router — no repo_not_found assert
signed_scoped_anchors_missing_repo_is_404_through_build_router — has repo_not_found assert
🔒 Unchanged on main:authorize_repo_read already maps non-reader to RepoNotFound on main; this finding is test coverage only.
🔧 Required correction: In the non-reader scoped test, parse the JSON body and assert the same error field value as the missing-repo test (repo_not_found), in addition to the existing no-leak assertions.
🛠️ Author fix: Update the non-reader test in the same pass as the P2 listing denial work above; do not change production error mapping unless a test proves a real mismatch.
🚫 Out of scope: Changing global 404 policy for owner-gated mutations (403 after lookup).
Both findings addressed at 7e9a5be. P2: the unsigned listing tests now seed identifiable pin and anchor rows and assert the 401 bodies omit them, the unsigned scoped test does the same for its anchor, and a new malformed_signature_on_anchors_is_401_through_build_router mirrors the pins test so the anchors layer cannot drop silently. P3: the non-reader scoped test now asserts error == repo_not_found, the same shape the missing-repo test pins. The through_build_router tests pass locally.

Make the scoped request target the seeded repository.
The fixture uses did:key:zSCOPEDAAAA…/priv, but the request at Line 994 uses did:key:zSCOPED/priv. The request cannot select the seeded anchor. A 401 response that leaks data for the requested scope would therefore pass the new body assertion. Build the request URI from owner_did so the test checks the seeded repository.

I rechecked this branch after your 7e9a5be6 follow-up. The earlier listing-gate test findings are addressed; I do not see additional actionable defects in the current diff.
Merge readiness
Approval gate: GitHub still shows the PR as merge-blocked on ruleset review. My prior review on 0140c9cd was CHANGES_REQUESTED; that feedback is satisfied on head 7e9a5be6. An approving review on the current head is still required to clear the gate.
Checks: Required CI on head is green for test (stable), fmt + clippy, build --release, Docker smoke, and related PR checks at campaign time. test (beta) and some CodeQL matrix jobs were still pending when this review was drafted — confirm they finish green before merge.
Follow-up verification:unsigned_get_pins_and_anchors_is_401_through_build_router and unsigned_scoped_anchors_is_401_through_build_router now seed identifiable metadata and assert denial bodies omit it; malformed_signature_on_anchors_is_401_through_build_router mirrors pins; signed_scoped_anchors_non_reader_is_404_no_leak_through_build_router asserts error == "repo_not_found" alongside leak oracles.
Needs maintainer decision
Residual #136 global index exposure: After merge, any verified HTTP-signature identity (including a self-minted did:key) can still read the unscoped pin and anchor indexes. This PR closes #121’s anonymous-denial and scoped non-reader holes; it deliberately does not add repository visibility filtering on unscoped listings (see PR Notes and SECURITY.md). Accept that partial closure or track a follow-up for the enumerable-index class.
🟢 Thanks for the contribution. I do not see any actionable issues from my review on head 7e9a5be6.

Summary
Two node-wide metadata endpoints accepted unsigned requests, and the
?repo=variant on the Arweave anchors endpoint also accepted signed non-readers. This closes the anonymous-denial path on both endpoints and the authorization hole on the scoped anchor path.Continues #134 (the commits are carried over unchanged; main was merged in as a separate commit, and a maintainer commit adapts the two
optional_signaturelayers tofrom_fn_with_stateafter main moved that middleware to takeSignatureBodyLimit).Closes #121 (anonymous-denial half; the wider enumerable-listings class stays out of scope, see Notes).
Motivation & context
/api/v1/ipfs/pinsand/api/v1/arweave/anchorsanswered anonymous callers. The scoped?repo=form of the anchors listing also let a signed non-reader enumerate a private repo's anchors.Kind of change
What changed
/api/v1/ipfs/pins(list_pins):ipfs_pins_routesis its ownRouterwithoptional_signatureapplied before the merge withipfs_cid_routes. Handler rejects requests without a verifiedAuthenticatedDidwith 401./api/v1/arweave/anchors(list_anchors):optional_signatureon the route (it was missing entirely). With?repo=<owner>/<name>, the slug parses andauthorize_repo_readruns before the SQL query; missing repos, quarantined mirrors, and signed non-readers collapse to the standard 404 (repo_not_found). Limit clamps to[0, 200]before SQL. The filter keys on the canonical stored slug ({normalize_owner_key(record.owner_did)}/{record.name}) resolved by the authz helper, not the user-supplied?repo=string, so a fulldid:key:.../nameadmit-form cannot return a false empty page./arweave/anchorspublicly pending this issue; the merged tree keeps the gated registration and retains main's note that the verify endpoint is deferred.0140c9cd: bothoptional_signaturelayers usefrom_fn_with_state(SignatureBodyLimit(SIGNED_BODY_LIMIT))to match the middleware signature on current main.How a reviewer can verify
