Console can now inspect and manage enrolled hbbs/hbbr services through a JWT/RBAC-protected backend proxy and a Docker node agent. The browser receives no node/server management credentials.

  • Add global servers.* permissions and sanitized mutation audit records.
  • Expose status, logs, native registrations, relay sessions/cancellation, schema-driven configuration and persistent ID/IP bans.
  • Verify the effective listener before reporting application success, preserve secret overrides, run rollback steps independently, and roll back when the applied-state checkpoint fails before backup deletion.
  • Provide the five-service Compose deployment with Console HTTP bound to 127.0.0.1:21114. Remote access requires a host-local TLS proxy and prior administrator-password replacement.

CI scope

Retain permanent backend/agent regressions and the agent image check in existing PR/push CI. Remove the temporary manual cross-repository workflow, its dedicated smoke script, and the added manual trigger on ordinary CI. Per-repository checks do not establish full-stack interoperability.

Validation

CI passed on 3146e36: backend/agent tests, lint, type checking, application build, MySQL migrations, both Docker checks and CodeQL. No local compilation, application execution or tests were performed.

Deployment limits

Enrollment is environment-based. The Docker-connected agent is a trusted host component; a compromised process can control its Docker host. An endpoint-only proxy permitting unrestricted container creation does not remove this boundary. Handled failures roll back, while interrupted-process replacements require operator recovery. Closing relay sessions does not close existing direct connections.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 0ceb4

The integrated deployment publishes the Console login on every host interface. A fresh install accepts the documented default administrator credentials, and that account can now stop, reconfigure and ban on the managed RustDesk servers. The node agent also runs as root with the host Docker socket, so a compromised agent or leaked agent token gives full control of the host. Bind the Console to localhost or require a password change before exposing it, and accept or reduce the agent's Docker trust boundary before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟠 High · up to 0ceb4

Server management adds powerful controls to an existing login surface. Fresh installations still accept a known administrator password and publish an unencrypted endpoint, increasing the consequences of account or credential compromise to service disruption and access-policy changes.

Retained concerns

  • High · security · observed: The existing active databk/databk administrator now inherits global server-management authority. The new integrated deployment exposes the Console and enrolls a local node without requiring administrator-password replacement first. An attacker reaching an unprotected fresh installation can use the known credentials to inspect enrolled services, stop or reconfigure them, disconnect sessions, and change bans. Password warnings and independently generated management tokens do not prevent this Console-mediated path.
  • High · security · inferred: The integrated deployment retains the existing all-interface HTTP publication on port 21114 without defining TLS termination or a loopback-only binding. The supplied client sends login credentials and bearer tokens over HTTP. Although the transport condition predates this PR, interception or reuse of those credentials now reaches enrolled-service lifecycle and policy controls. Actual external reachability depends on deployment network protections.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — A compromised Console administrator can reach every node in that backend's configured registry through global server permissions, exposing service configuration, logs, registrations, relay sessions and access-policy controls. A stolen node token independently authorizes the fixed management interface for that node's enrolled hbbs/hbbr services, without establishing arbitrary host control.
  • observed — The Docker agent is a trusted host component, distinct from the authority granted by its token. Its socket mount permits host-level Docker operations if the process is compromised. Documentation explicitly acknowledges this boundary and explains why unrestricted container-creation access through a generic socket proxy would not remove it.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • observed — The two retained default-credential findings describe a shared path: an externally reachable fresh Console accepts the seeded administrator, whose existing administrator semantics inherit the new management permissions. The credential condition predates the PR; the added enrolled-service authority materially increases its consequences.
  • inferred — The retained sensitive-data-exposure finding concerns HTTP credential transport. An observer able to intercept that traffic can acquire credentials now usable for service and policy mutation. The unchanged base HTTP mapping is counterevidence against claiming a newly introduced transport flaw, but not against the increased authority of captured credentials.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The Console path applies JWT authentication and global RBAC before forwarding requests with a backend-held node token. The agent uses an independent bearer credential and fixed routes, then a separate credential for server APIs. Required deployment secrets and internal management ports strengthen these boundaries but do not replace administrator-password protection or browser-to-Console transport security.
  • observed — The documented ban contract distinguishes client-reported relay target IDs from authenticated endpoint identity and excludes existing direct connections from hbbr enforcement. It also distinguishes native registrations and relay-session UUIDs from Console device ownership. These are contract limits, not verified companion-server enforcement guarantees.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Readiness includes effective-port validation and ban synchronization before committing applied state. Checkpoint failure triggers runtime rollback before backup deletion. Periodic synchronization enters the same queue as endpoint mutations, so the proposed timer-bypass ordering failure is contradicted by exact head source. These controls remain bounded to handled failures and one agent instance, not crash-atomic or cross-service transactions.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Gate management-enabled startup on replacement of the default administrator credential, and make public Console access require TLS or an explicitly protected binding. These changes would address the enlarged consequences of inherited credential and transport weaknesses.
  • proposed — Where host compromise is outside the acceptable trust model, isolate the agent on a dedicated or rootless Docker host, or use a policy-aware broker that constrains ownership and container-creation payloads. An endpoint-only proxy permitting unrestricted creation is insufficient.

🔒 Security & Privacy | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Remove the agent's unrestricted root-level Docker API access.

Two things combine here. The agent mounts the raw Docker socket, and the agent image runs as root. As a result, anyone who compromises the agent or holds NODE_AGENT_TOKEN has full control of the host. The service-name allow-list in DockerDriver limits what the agent code does. It does not limit what the socket allows. A :ro flag does not restrict Docker API calls.

  • docker-compose.integrated.yml#L30-L30: Replace the /var/run/docker.sock mount with a socket-proxy service. Allow only the operations the agent uses: container inspect, start, stop, restart, logs, rename, create and delete, plus network connect and disconnect. Point DockerDriver at the proxy.
  • agent/Dockerfile#L4-L4: After the switch to the proxy, replace USER root with USER node. Make sure /data/management is writable by that user.

Independent assessment of this retained finding: agent process compromise implies Docker-host compromise (high confidence, 99%). Possession of NODE_AGENT_TOKEN alone does not expose arbitrary Docker requests: the API accepts fixed operations on configured/enrolled containers, and replacement payloads are derived from inspected containers rather than caller-supplied Docker payloads.

I am not adopting the suggested endpoint-only socket proxy as a security fix. A proxy that still permits unrestricted container creation can accept privileged/host-mount payloads from a compromised agent; changing USER does not remove Docker-daemon authority. The existing documentation makes this a trusted host-agent deployment boundary and identifies dedicated/rootless Docker hosts or an ownership/payload-aware broker as stronger alternatives. This is an accepted documented architectural risk, not a claim that host containment has been implemented. I am leaving this thread open for the maintainers' explicit disposition.

@hashbk, thanks for the clarification. My original finding overstated the authority granted by NODE_AGENT_TOKEN.

  • Token possession is not arbitrary Docker API access. The agent exposes fixed operations on configured, enrolled containers.
  • Agent process compromise remains a Docker-host compromise risk. An endpoint-only proxy that permits unrestricted container creation does not remove that risk.
  • Changing USER root to USER node does not remove Docker-daemon authority. It is not host containment.

I retract the endpoint-only proxy recommendation as a sufficient security fix. The remaining concern is the accepted, documented trusted-host-agent boundary, not a demonstrated token-to-host escape.

The thread should remain open for the maintainers’ explicit disposition. No implementation change is requested in this reply.

Learning: In databk/rustdesk-console, the integrated Docker node agent is a trusted host component. Possession of NODE_AGENT_TOKEN grants access to fixed management operations on configured, enrolled containers, not arbitrary Docker requests. Replacement payloads derive from inspected containers. Agent process compromise can expose Docker-host authority. An endpoint-only socket proxy permitting unrestricted container creation, or changing the agent's operating-system user, does not establish host containment. Stronger isolation requires a dedicated or appropriately isolated rootless Docker host, or an ownership/payload-aware broker.

CI/workflow audit completed independently of the review suggestions.

Repository Permanent coverage retained Temporary scaffolding removed
Console Backend and agent regression tests; separate agent image build, since the root Dockerfile only builds Console The manual cross-repository integration workflow, its dedicated smoke script, and added workflow_dispatch on ordinary CI
Server Locked/all-target compilation, management/policy regressions, managed production-image build and required native dependencies Added workflow_dispatch on existing Test CI
Web Server API/access/localization regressions alongside existing lint/type/production builds Added workflow_dispatch on existing CI

No PR now adds a standalone workflow file. Existing release/nightly/CodeQL and main-branch MySQL migration checks remain intact. The retained jobs protect the feature's actual production artifacts and contracts; they are long-term PR/push checks. Removing the manual smoke scaffold means these checks do not establish full-stack deployment interoperability or provision/verify a TLS ingress.

Latest heads passed all checks:

All compilation, application execution and tests ran in CI. Local work was limited to source review, formatting/lint and Git static checks. The new findings were assessed separately: HTTP/default-credential exposure and forwarded-IP mismatch (99% confidence, fixed), service/form context mismatch (95%, fixed), and recovered ban-form initialization (99%, fixed after verifying complete replacement semantics). Retained Docker-host authority is documented rather than represented as solved by an endpoint-only proxy.
