📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change normalizes scanner MAC identities, modularizes the devices page, adds custom-property actions and on-demand plugin execution, and updates documentation links and custom-property guidance.

Changes

Plugin identity normalization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Scanner and SNMP MAC normalization
server/utils/plugin_utils.py, server/plugin.py, server/plugins/snmp_discovery/script.py, test/server/*, test/plugins/*
Scanner primary IDs are normalized before identity hashes are computed. SNMP parsing accepts repeated whitespace and produces consistent normalized MAC values across supported formats.

Custom properties and plugin execution

Layer / File(s) Summary
Wildcard resolution and rendering
front/js/common.js, front/js/devices-custom-props.js, front/js/devices-table.js
Device fields support case-insensitive wildcard substitution. Custom-property values are escaped or URL-encoded by context and rendered with action data.
On-demand plugin execution
front/js/device.js, server/api_server/api_server_start.py, test/api_endpoints/test_plugin_run_endpoint.py
The client posts authenticated run requests. The API validates the plugin prefix and queues a `run

Devices page modularization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Page bootstrap and script wiring
front/devices.php, front/js/devices-init.js
Inline page logic now loads through versioned external scripts. Initialization manages shared state, layout, loading behavior, table setup, and visible-device caching.
Filters and totals
front/js/devices-filters.js, front/js/devices-totals.js
The page loads filter values and device totals, applies selected filters, retries failed requests, and renders status tiles.
Devices table behavior
front/js/devices-table.js
The DataTable handles GraphQL data, column ordering, row rendering, scan ETA updates, loading polling, multi-edit navigation, and visible-MAC collection.

Documentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Documentation links and custom-property guidance
docs/COMMON_ISSUES.md, docs/INITIAL_SETUP.md, docs/PERFORMANCE.md, docs/PLUGINS_DEV_DATA_CONTRACT.md, docs/CUSTOM_PROPERTIES.md
Plugin references use absolute repository URLs. Custom-property documentation describes direct properties and defaults for subsequently discovered devices.

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 3cd13

Device data can inject markup into the devices page, and plugin runs may be reported as successful without being queued. The remaining device-page failures should also be fixed before merge.

discovery flow to discard empty or whitespace-only tokens, including repeated

regression test covering repeated spaces or tabs and verify the resulting
primaryId and foreignKey use the correct MAC.

Validate the decoded custom-property structure.

isBase64 checks only Base64 syntax. A valid Base64 value can decode to invalid JSON, {}, or groups that are not arrays. JSON.parse, props.forEach, or propGroup.map then throws before the error message is returned. Catch decode errors and validate the top-level array, groups, and property entries.

Prevent HTML injection in runPlugin notifications.

The delegated run_plugin handler passes CUSTPROP_name, which can include device fields such as {{devName}}, to runPlugin. On success, runPlugin interpolates this value into a message that showMessage inserts with .html(). A device-controlled name can execute script in the authenticated operator's browser. Render the notification with .text() or sanitize the label before insertion, and add a Selenium regression test.

Restrict BACKEND_API_URL before sending API_TOKEN.

getApiBase() accepts BACKEND_API_URL without scheme or origin validation. If it contains an HTTP or cross-origin URL, runPlugin() sends API_TOKEN to that destination. Enforce a same-origin HTTPS value, or omit Authorization for unsafe destinations. The /server default does not protect non-default settings.

Guard the CUSTPROP_icon decode.

custProps is validated with isBase64 on Line 19, but propMap["CUSTPROP_icon"] is decoded without any check. If a property group omits CUSTPROP_icon, or stores a non-Base64 string, atob throws InvalidCharacterError. The exception escapes forEach and renderCustomProps, so the createdCell callback in front/js/devices-table.js (Line 481) fails and the row render breaks.

Validate the value and fall back to an empty icon.

+    const iconHtml = isBase64(propMap["CUSTPROP_icon"])
+      ? atob(propMap["CUSTPROP_icon"])

jQuery data() attribute automatic type conversion JSON number string

💡 Result:

When accessing data-* attributes using the jQuery.data method, jQuery automatically attempts to convert the string value of the attribute into a native JavaScript value (such as a boolean, number, object, array, or null) [1]. Regarding specific types, jQuery applies the following logic: 1. Numbers: jQuery only converts a string value to a number if doing so does not change the representation of the value [1][2]. For example, the string "100" is converted to the number 100, but "100.000" or "1E02" remain strings because converting them to a number and back to a string would alter the original format [1]. 2. Objects and Arrays: If a string value starts with '{' or '[', jQuery uses jQuery.parseJSON to attempt to parse it [1]. This requires the string to follow valid JSON syntax, including the use of quoted property names [1]. 3. Other Values: If a value cannot be parsed as a valid JavaScript type, it remains a string [1]. If you require the raw string value of an attribute without any automatic type conversion, you should use the.attr method instead of.data [1][3][4]. Top results: [1][3][2]

github netalertx NetAlertX front/js/devices-custom-props.js runPlugin

💡 Result:

In the NetAlertX project, the runPlugin action is a placeholder and is currently not implemented [1]. According to the official documentation for NetAlertX custom properties, the runPlugin action type is intended for executing custom plugin scripts, but it is explicitly noted as "not implemented yet" and will trigger an alert if used [1]. Please note that searches for "runPlugin" in a technical context often surface results related to unrelated projects—such as Kubernetes Headlamp or OpenZeppelin Relayer—which use runPlugin as a function for managing their respective plugin architectures [2][3][4]. These are entirely separate from the NetAlertX implementation. NetAlertX documentation confirms the feature remains unimplemented within its own codebase [1].

Read data-args with .attr() to preserve literal values.

jQuery converts data-args="null" to null, and ?? '' then passes an empty string to window.location.href or runPlugin. JSON-like values can also become objects. Use .attr('data-args'), and use .attr() for the other fields when their raw text must be preserved.

Reset columnFilters before rebuilding filters. When initFilters() runs again, it appends the same columns to the page-level array. transformed.filters then contains duplicate groups. Set columnFilters = [] before displayedFilters.forEach(...). The devices-table.js declaration is function-scoped, so it does not conflict with the single top-level declaration.

Pass a callback to setTimeout. setTimeout(handleLoadingDialog(true), 1000) invokes handleLoadingDialog(true) immediately and passes its return value to setTimeout. Each response therefore starts the next $.get without the intended one-second delay. The asynchronous $.get callback runs on a later event-loop turn, so this does not cause synchronous recursion or stack growth. Use setTimeout(() => handleLoadingDialog(true), 1000).

loading flow around handleLoadingDialog so it receives a callback rather than
invoking handleLoadingDialog(true) immediately; preserve the intended one-second

Guard against an empty data array before indexing.

Line 32 accepts any truthy response.data, and an empty array is truthy. Line 33 then sets resultJSON to undefined, line 36 caches undefined, and processDeviceTotals(undefined) throws a TypeError at line 90 when it reads devicesData[filter.status]. The retry path never runs, because the failure occurs in the success handler. This happens when table_devices_tiles.json has not been populated yet.

🛡️ Proposed guard
-                if (response && response.data) {
-                    const resultJSON = response.data[0]; // Assuming the structure {"data": [ ... ]}
+                if (response && Array.isArray(response.data) && response.data.length > 0 && response.data[0]) {
+                    const resultJSON = response.data[0]; // Structure: {"data": [ ... ]}

least one element before indexing response.data[0]. Treat an empty data array as
