The Logs page shows who added, changed or deleted a compute, from web
or API, and every login, failed login, lockout and logout, with the
client address and a Result column (Done, Failed, Unknown for older
rows). A failed change is recorded with its reason and the error still
reaches the user; a refused one is recorded too.
- logs.audit.write saves each row in its own savepoint and never
raises, so a log write cannot break or undo the action it records.
The audit() context manager writes one row when the change ends.
- Logs gains success and ip; user, host and instance are wider and
date is indexed. The page orders by date then id.
- A compute edit names the changed fields; an edit that changes
nothing writes no row, and an empty password field is no change.
- A compute's VMs leaving the panel get a system row each: owners
kept on the Removed VMs page, moved to another compute, restored,
left without owners, or the removed record expired.
- Job rows carry the result. A job's log entry that cannot be
computed is logged and skipped instead of rolling back the finish
(test_service.py changes this on purpose).
- Logins are recorded by signal receivers; CustomLoginView is removed
and the plain LoginView is used. A wrong OTP code is a failed login,
counted by django-axes toward the lockout.
Panel records and host-side objects follow in the next layers.
131 test modules sat next to the code they test; instances alone had
51 of them beside views.py and utils.py. They move into a
tests/ package per app, and the JavaScript checks into
webvirtcloud/tests/js. Each non-empty tests.py becomes tests/test_views.py;
the empty generated stubs are removed.
Imports of the app's own modules become absolute, paths built from
__file__ go one level up, the live helper is instances.tests.livetest,
and coverage omits */tests/*. The suite discovers the same 960 tests as
before.
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.
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.
Several views returned json.dumps() output through HttpResponse, i.e. as
text/html, and guess_mac_address reflects the URL's vname into it
(reflected XSS). Templates filled the log table and volume dropdowns by
concatenating server data into HTML strings, and log messages contain
user-entered snapshot/disk/clone names (stored XSS that runs when a
superuser opens the Logs tab).
- Use JsonResponse in guess_mac_address, random_mac_address,
guess_clone_name, sshkeys, storages.get_volumes,
datasource.os_metadata_json and logs.vm_logs; sshkeys?plain=true is
served as text/plain.
- stats_tab.html builds log rows with .text(); instance.html and
create_instance_w2.html build <option> elements with .val().text().
