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.
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.
- Runs only when TEST_LIBVIRT_HOST is set, so manage.py test on a
developer machine no longer creates VMs on the local libvirtd.
- Every VM and volume is named wvc-test-*, and volumes live in a
temporary wvc-test pool (/var/lib/libvirt/wvc-test) instead of the
default pool next to real images.
- Cleanup removes only prefixed domains and the test pool's volumes;
it also clears leftovers of an interrupted run before starting, and
tolerates domains that turned transient.
- tearDownClass fails if any domain or volume outside the test
namespace appeared, disappeared or was replaced.
- livetest gains create_volume/define_vm helpers and
test_live_dataloss.py, whose setUpClass opens the class transaction
last, so a failed libvirt connection cannot lock the test database
for later test classes.
The first live tests reproduce two known external-snapshot data losses
and are marked expectedFailure: reverting deletes a disk added after
the snapshot, and deleting the older of two snapshots deletes the
newer one's overlay.
The edit form posts net-*-<n> fields for NIC n and carries only the
new MAC. The backend read index 0 and looked the NIC up by the new MAC,
so editing a MAC detached nothing and attached a second NIC, and edits
of any NIC but the first were applied with empty values.
The form now also posts the current MAC (net-old-mac-<n>). The view
reads the submitted NIC's fields, validates the new MAC and reports
errors. The backend replaces the NIC with the old MAC, refuses an
unknown one, and on a failed attach restores the old NIC and raises
instead of reporting success.
The view crashed with a TypeError without a Referer header; it now
returns to the instance page, and a Referer from another site is
ignored.
- Pick the test VM by name; .first() could select any VM already on
the compute, and tearDownClass deletes the chosen VM's disks.
- Delete the test volume when setUpClass fails after creating it.
- test-vm.xml: no hard-coded emulator, machine alias q35 instead of
pc-q35-5.1, so it defines on RHEL qemu-kvm hosts too.
- Follow current behavior: power actions are POST-only, the create
form needs add_cdrom/add_input and VNC, cloning needs change
permission on the source VM.
- README: the tests read TEST_LIBVIRT_HOST/TYPE/LOGIN/PASSWORD;
WEBVIRTCLOUD_TEST_LIBVIRT_URI never existed.
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.
Add webvirtcloud/test_authorization_matrix.py, which walks every named URL
and checks that a user without any VM/compute relation only reaches an
explicit allowlist, and that the global view_instances permission does not
open consoles. It found:
- /computes/<id>/... views without any check (compute_graph,
get_compute_*, get_dom_capabilities, storages.get_volumes): the whole
computes URL namespace is now wrapped with superuser_only, so a view
added there later cannot be exposed by a missing decorator.
- guess_mac_address (leaks dhcpd.conf host/MAC pairs), random_mac_address
and guess_clone_name: superuser-only, like the buttons that use them.
- check_instance: cross-tenant VM name lookup with no caller; removed.
- getvvfile and get_vdi_url: reachable with only view_instances, and the
.vv file contains the VNC password.
Console access now follows one rule, instances.utils.can_open_console:
an active superuser or an active owner of the VM. The global
view_instances permission is read-only. It is used by the console page,
novncd, getvvfile and get_vdi_url (getvvfile and the VDI tab are kept for
virt-viewer users). The console page answers 403 instead of 500 when
access is denied, with the same answer for a missing VM.
