Nothing limited failed logins: a password could be guessed at the speed
the server answers. django-axes (8.3.1, Django 5.2, Python 3.10-3.13)
now counts them.
- A user is locked for the address the failed logins come from
(username and IP together), so an attacker cannot lock someone out
from elsewhere and users behind one NAT address do not share a lock.
A successful login resets the count. axes sits in front of every
authentication: the login page with or without OTP, LDAP and the API.
- The number of failed logins (default 5) and the lock time in minutes
(default 15) are on the Settings page (LOGIN_FAILURE_LIMIT,
LOGIN_LOCKOUT_MINUTES, added by migration appsettings.0014) and apply
at once; an invalid value falls back to the default. Unlock with
"manage.py axes_reset_username <username>".
- Behind the bundled nginx every request comes from 127.0.0.1; the
client address is read from X-Real-IP, which nginx sets, but only for
requests from a loopback address or from LOGIN_TRUSTED_PROXIES, so a
forged header does not escape a lock.
settings.py.template gets the app, middleware, backend and AXES_*
settings; README tells existing installations what to copy. Tests that
call client.login now pass a request, which the axes backend needs.
The new tests fail with axes disabled.
The settings page lists the themes of SASS_DIR and writes wvc-main.scss
into it when the theme changes; the value could be any path, so a
superuser could make the app list and write files anywhere it may
(CodeQL py/path-injection).
SASS_DIR is now accepted only if it resolves to an existing directory
inside the project (the default is dev/scss). A stored value outside it
is not used: the page shows an error and offers no themes, so nothing
is written. Installations that keep their SCSS outside the project
need to move it under it.
The tests fail on the previous code for an absolute path, "../",
a path climbing out and a missing directory, and for a stored value
outside the project.
The settings page took the posted theme name as it came and wrote it
into the @import lines of wvc-main.scss and the compiled CSS: a name
with "../" or a quote imported files outside the themes directory
(CodeQL py/path-injection; the page is for superusers).
The name must now be one of the directories in SASS_DIR/wvc-themes, the
list the page already offers; anything else is refused with a message
and nothing is written. themes_list is empty when SASS_DIR has no
themes, so every name is refused then.
Checked with the real dev/scss: flatly is applied and compiled as
before, "../../etc" is refused and leaves the CSS alone. The test fails
on the previous code.
SPICE was removed earlier; its leftovers and the console type choice go
too:
- the console settings form, update_console and the backend no longer
offer or change the type; an invalid console form now shows its
errors instead of being ignored;
- the create form, the API serializer and create_instance no longer take
a graphics type, new VMs get VNC; get_graphics_types and the graphics
entries of the domain capabilities are gone;
- migration appsettings.0013 deletes QEMU_CONSOLE_DEFAULT_TYPE;
- a VM defined elsewhere with another graphics type gets "Console type
... is not supported".
The locale catalogs still reference the deleted SPICE templates in
source comments; regenerating them is left to the translation work.
Super-linter ran from the unpinned :latest image and, because of
branches-ignore: [master], never on pull requests to master. Ruff now
checks syntax errors and pyflakes rules (E9, F) on every push and PR.
Fixes the existing findings: unused imports and variables, an unused
duplicate import in instances/tests.py, and the star import in
accounts/views.py. settings-dev.py keeps its star import of the base
settings.
The *migrations/* ignore rule is removed. appsettings, computes and
logs pin default_auto_field to AutoField, so makemigrations --check
reports no pending BigAutoField migrations and existing installs need
no schema change.
The Vagrant provisioning no longer runs makemigrations, which created
install-specific migration files that conflict with the committed
history; it only runs migrate.
- Computes API: mark password as write_only in ComputeSerializer, restrict ComputeViewSet and architectures to IsAdminUser.
- Instances API: enforce user ownership tenant isolation in InstanceViewSet.list, restrict MigrateViewSet and CreateInstanceViewSet to IsAdminUser, require IsAdminUser for mutating FlavorViewSet.
- Storage, Network, and Interface APIs: restrict StorageViewSet, VolumeViewSet, NetworkViewSet, InterfaceViewSet to IsAdminUser.
- AppSettings & NWFilters: protect appsettings and nwfilter views with @superuser_only (403 Forbidden for non-superusers).
- noVNC Console: sign tokens with TimestampSigner (salt='console.novnc', max_age=600), verify signature and user authorization in novncd with backward-compatible fallback for debug/test mode.
- Accounts: avoid hardcoded default admin password; generate cryptographically secure random password unless ADMIN_PASSWORD is set (preserve 'admin' in test runner).
- gstfsd daemon: bind to 127.0.0.1 by default instead of 0.0.0.0.
- Tests: added comprehensive test coverage for API security, token expiration/rejection, and view permissions (132 tests passing).
- Remove obsolete spice-html5 static assets and SPICE console templates
- Restrict default console types to VNC with migration 0012
- Filter out SPICE in VM creation form and backend capabilities
- Return friendly deprecation notice if legacy VM is opened with SPICE
- Clean up docs, architecture references, and libvirt-bootstrap scripts
