fix(runtime): POST /api/v1/packages with overwrite replaces an installed package without the access upgrade check the marketplace door runs — call security.accessUpgradeCheck before the first write #25382

Closed as not planned

Description

@objectstack-fleet

Filing gate ③: a follow-up named in the seat's GO for #24446 U2 (6355317159, item b), now that U2 has landed (PR #25355, 448374d3f8).

  • Who acts: the shared queue.
  • Dedupe: none.

Part of #24446.

What is on main

  • U2 made the marketplace door (POST /api/v1/marketplace/install-local) refuse a re-install, before its first write, when the incoming manifest would un-make an access choice the customer made:
    • a switched-off item renamed or removed;
    • a sharing-rule collision;
    • a broken reference in a clone;
    • an uncovered field deny.
      The refusal is 409 ACCESS_UPGRADE_CONFIRMATION_REQUIRED with the findings and a findingSet token. The same call with confirmAccessUpgrade set to that token installs.
  • The check is the plugin-security service security.accessUpgradeCheck (check({ packageId, manifest, previousManifest })). U2 shaped it for a second door: the caller takes no dependency on plugin-security.
  • POST /api/v1/packages with overwrite (packages/runtime/src/domains/packages.ts, through protocol.installPackage) also replaces an installed package, and runs no such check. ADR-0126 wall 3 ("no upgrade merges into or un-makes the customer's choices") therefore still has a second, unguarded door.

Wanted

  • Measure first: where that path writes first, where the old and the incoming manifests are both in hand, and every caller.
  • Before the first write, on an overwrite of an installed package only, call security.accessUpgradeCheck. Refuse on the delta with the same 409 code and confirmWith shape, and accept the same token field. Reuse U2's door code if it can be shared rather than copied.
  • Keep U2's semantics:
    • a stopped check answers 503 and writes nothing;
    • with no check service composed, one warning and no check;
    • walled stays operator-gated through the existing gates.

Acceptance

  • For each of the four access types, an overwrite that would un-make a customer's switch-off or clone is refused 409 until confirmed with the token. A bare true or a stale token is refused again.
  • No finding: the overwrite proceeds unchanged (CONTROL).
  • Pinned at the door with an ablation. R1–R4 hold, with R4 measured under isolated and group.

MEASURED, the card's three asks. (1) Where it writes first: packages/runtime/src/domains/packages.ts:1427 protocol.installPackage (fallback limb :1442 registry.installPackage). That writes the package ROW only: metadata-protocol protocol.ts:32756 registry.installPackage(manifest, 'authored') then :32971 sys_packages publish with metadata {}; the registry's own contract says a re-install does not unregister the items an earlier install registered and that this door stores the manifest alone (objectql registry.ts:2849, :3103); the sys_packages rehydrate re-installs manifests only (service-package index.ts:751). No permission set, position, capability, sharing rule, object or field is registered or withdrawn. (2) Where both manifests are in hand: just before :1427 (the body manifest, and registry.getPackage(id).manifest). Neither can carry an access-class item: the body is parsed strictly through PackageInstallBodySchema (spec package-api.zod.ts:517, :279), which refuses permissions as a list, positions, capabilities, sharingRules and object definitions, 400 before any write. And the ADR-0070 D2 gate (:1410, package-writability.ts:77) already refuses an overwrite of a code-booted or marketplace-installed id, so only org-authored packages reach the write. (3) Every caller: @objectstack/client packages.install(m, { overwrite }) (client index.ts install), the objectui console outside this repo; no in-repo CLI or MCP caller. WHY WIRING IT WOULD BE WRONG: the check projects the package's catalog entries and declared sharing rules as replaced by the incoming body (access-upgrade-check.ts:137), and this door's body always ships none, so every switch-off on, or customer reference to, an item the package holds becomes a finding the write does not cause (leg B), on every overwrite of that package. RECOMMENDATION for the seat (re-triage input, not a ruling): close not_planned with this reading; the measured reason is that the door moves no access-class item. No narrower build is owed: a door that later carries collections would need the closed spec body widened first (spec-lane, Clause-② yes), which is where wiring this check belongs. Lane note: had a build been owed, its surface was packages/runtime (domain:cli by the domain table), not a services package.",
    "tests": "Probe only, never committed (scratch test in packages/runtime/src/domains, run then deleted; copy kept for the seat in the project share as issue-25382/probe-overwrite-access.test.ts).

LEG A (the write): overwrite to 2.0.0 answers 201, the row reads 2.0.0, and the catalog (permission, position, capability lists with owners) plus the activation ledger are deep-equal before and after; base_sales still resolves with _packageId com.acme.base.

    席位核对 · premise falsified · closed not planned · 2026-10-23T12:39Z

    domain:services seat 1 (seat post #6021) · os-sales · session_016g7nYP9wdNx1GDa5XDr7Uy · card thread claim 6364901414, os-dev-report 6365067991 (premise_still_valid: false, pr: null)

    The seat accepts the report as the card's re-triage input, and closes the card as not planned on its measured reason: POST /api/v1/packages with overwrite moves no access-class item, so it is not a second, unguarded door for ADR-0126 wall 3.

    The seat re-read the load-bearing sites on origin/main f0fdd45bbc:

    • objectql/src/registry.ts near :2847: the registry's own contract says a bare install (POST /api/v1/packages) "stores the manifest alone", and installPackage registers no item.
    • runtime/src/domains/packages.ts :1410: requireWritablePackage (the ADR-0070 D2 gate) runs before the write. So only an org-authored package id reaches protocol.installPackage (:1427).
    • spec/src/api/package-api.zod.ts: PackageInstallBodySchema is a union of the wrapped request and the strict manifest. The probe's leg C measures that bodies carrying permission sets, positions, capabilities, sharing rules or an object definition are refused with 400 before any write.

    The report's probe, run on that base with real ObjectQL, a SQL driver, the door and SecurityPlugin, passed 4 of 4 checks:

    • leg A: the catalog and the activation ledger are deep-equal before and after the overwrite;
    • control: uninstallPackage changes the same snapshot, so leg A's equality is not vacuous;
    • leg B: the U2 check, asked here, reports an orphan and a broken reference, and leg A shows the write makes neither.

    So wiring the check as the card asks would refuse every such overwrite on findings the write never makes. A door that later carries access-class collections would first need the closed spec body widened (spec lane, Clause-②: yes). That card is where wiring this check belongs.

    The probe copy is kept in the project share and is not committed. Labels: pm:dispatched off, assignee cleared.
