fix(module): owner-only creation and repair of the Windows release cache - #40
Conversation
The ACL size computation now accounts for the full security descriptor layout rather than only the DACL, which previously produced undersized buffers and failed descriptor creation on some systems. Auto-committed-on: dragonfly Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>

The cache now drops entries belonging to a host once that host goes away, so reconnecting hosts no longer read values left behind by a previous session. Previously the cache kept those entries indefinitely, which could surface stale data after a host was replaced. Auto-committed-on: dragonfly Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
Add Windows-only tests that exercise private directory creation, repair of a cache inheriting a group write grant, and the refusal to touch directories outside the install root. The module declaration for windows_acl is also registered so the tests can reach it. Auto-committed-on: dragonfly Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
Annotate the `ConvertStringSecurityDescriptorToSecurityDescriptorW` extern block with `allow(clashing_extern_declarations)` since `host.rs` declares `GetNamedSecurityInfoW` with a typed DACL out-pointer while this declaration only reads the owner and passes no DACL pointer.

Tiny Sweeper reviewTiny Sweeper reviewed this change across 6 lane(s) and found 4 active actionable finding(s). The change hardens the Windows module release cache: creation now produces owner-only, inheritance-protected directories, and a repair pass rewrites the DACL of owned cache directories the gate would refuse. Several earlier findings are reported as resolved (write mask includes 0x40, leaf link refusal, `..` rejection, case-folded scope comparison). Remaining findings are unresolved-symbol/missing-import reports for `size_of` plus behavioral race and normalization concerns. Detailed lane evidence is below. State: Changes requested Review snapshot
Completeness: Complete What changedThis revision extracts the Windows ACL policy into crates/tinybus/src/module/windows_acl.rs as pure cross-platform decision functions plus cfg-gated Win32 calls. crates/tinybus/src/module/cache.rs#fn create_private_dir_all(path: &Path) -> std::io::Result<()> { now delegates to super::windows_acl::create_private_dir_all(path) on non-Unix platforms, and crates/tinybus/src/module/cache.rs#pub(crate) fn secure_release_cache(install_root: &Path, dir: &Path) { delegates to super::windows_acl::secure_release_cache(install_root, dir). crates/tinybus/src/module/host.rs#fn windows_path_grants_untrusted_write(path: &Path) -> Result<bool> { becomes pub(super) and its inline ACE-triage logic is replaced by a call to super::windows_acl::ace_grants_untrusted_write, keeping the gate itself unchanged. crates/tinybus/src/module/mod.rs#mod remembered_hash; appears among changed symbols alongside the new windows_acl module declaration in mod.rs.

An elevated administrator's token makes the Administrators group the owner of everything it creates, so caches made that way were skipped by the repair pass. Ownership checks now also accept the BUILTIN\Administrators SID, while rewriting the DACL still requires WRITE_DAC so other accounts' directories are left to the gate.

The repair pass now refuses paths containing a `..` component and skips repair entirely when any ancestor in scope is a symlink or junction, so a link cannot carry a DACL rewrite outside the release cache tree. Directory creation also checks the entry itself rather than following links, and the write mask gains FILE_DELETE_CHILD. Auto-committed-on: dragonfly Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
Directory creation now only rejects symlinks at the leaf path the caller asked for, while parent components are accepted as long as they resolve to directories. This keeps a redirected profile folder high in the path from failing cache directory setup, without permitting a write through a link at the target itself. Auto-committed-on: dragonfly Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
Open the directory once with a handle that does not follow reparse points and verify it is a real directory, then run the ownership check and DACL write through that handle instead of the path. This closes a race where the name could be swapped between the check and the write, redirecting the repair to a different object.

- Around line 425-427: Update the refusal check alongside
owned_by_current_user_or_admins to read the ACL from the opened handle with
GetSecurityInfo, applying the same ACE classification instead of inspecting
directory by path. Preserve the repair-only-if-refused behavior for that handle.
- Around line 326-369: Update the Windows staging flow to reject symlink or
junction ancestors below the install root before calling create_private_dir_all
on dir.parent(); otherwise create_private accepts non-leaf links and creates
staging paths through them. Ensure the same validation prevents commit from
renaming through a linked cache ancestor.

The repair-scope check only rejected directories containing a `..` component, so a root or base path with `..` could still be accepted and let the comparison climb outside the intended prefix. The check now also rejects any `..` in the install root or base, with tests covering both cases. Auto-committed-on: dragonfly Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>

Bind the ancestor checks to the repair traversal
When another principal has Modify access to a permissive cache ancestor, this pre-scan leaves a race in which that principal can replace an already-checked intermediate directory with a junction before repair_owned_directory opens a descendant. The fresh evidence after the earlier thread is that FILE_FLAG_OPEN_REPARSE_POINT protects only the final object opened by CreateFileW; intermediate path components are still traversed, so the resulting handle can reference an owned, permissive directory outside the approved scope and SetSecurityInfo will replace that directory's DACL. Walk the hierarchy using bound directory handles, or otherwise keep every checked ancestor stable through the write, rather than separating the link scan from the handle open.

Import size_of in the Windows helper
current_user and create_private call size_of::<...>(), but the win32 module does not import std::mem::size_of (nor qualify it as std::mem::size_of). On Windows this produces an unresolved-name compilation error, preventing the crate from building. Add the missing import or qualify both calls.

Import size_of in the Windows helper
On Windows, this test compiles the ACL helper, whose current_user implementation calls size_of::<SidAndAttributes>() without importing std::mem::size_of. size_of is not in the Rust prelude, so the Windows test build fails before these tests can run. Add the missing import in the helper module.

Reject reparse-point directories before returning success
On Windows, FileType::is_dir() can be true for a junction or other directory reparse point even when the metadata was obtained with symlink_metadata. Consequently, an existing reparse-point leaf can satisfy plain_dir and make create_private return success, allowing subsequent writes through the redirected path. Require that the metadata is a directory and not a reparse point before accepting the leaf; only retain the following-path behavior for explicitly permitted parents.

Normalize paths before checking repair scope
A valid repair root or directory containing a .. component is rejected outright rather than being normalized. For example, an install_root such as C:\\Users\\alice\\AppData\\Local\\..\\Local\\Cache cannot authorize repair even though it denotes the same tree as the normalized root. Normalize the directory and roots lexically (or obtain canonical paths where appropriate) before applying the scope check, while still preventing traversal outside the authorized roots.

Evaluate the ACL verdict on the opened directory handle
The directory is opened without following the final reparse point, but the refusal check is then performed by pathname. An attacker can replace or redirect directory between open_plain and this call, so the ACL verdict may describe a different object from the handle that is later passed to SetSecurityInfo. Keep the security inspection and write tied to the same opened handle, or otherwise revalidate the object identity before applying the repair.

What
Windows now gets what Unix already had for the module release cache: owner-only creation and repair of an existing cache directory. The strict directory gate in
host.rsis not loosened.Refs tinyhumansai/openhuman#6008 (modules refused with "module directory is writable by another user" when the directory inherits a group write ACE such as Authenticated Users: Modify).
Why
On Unix,
create_private_dir_allmakes the cache0700andsecure_release_cachetightens an existing one. On Windows the first was a plaincreate_dir_alland the second a no-op, so a cache that inherited a group write ACE (redirected or managedLOCALAPPDATA, custom install dir) was refused for good.Changes
New
module/windows_acl.rs(+windows_acl_tests.rs):create_private_dir_allcallsCreateDirectoryWwith a security descriptor from the SDDLD:P(A;OICI;FA;;;<current user SID>)(A;OICI;FA;;;SY)(protected, so nothing is inherited from the parent; children inherit owner + SYSTEM only). Set at creation time, so there is no window with a looser ACL. The SID string is validated before it is placed in the SDDL.secure_release_cachewalks the cache dir and its ancestors and, for each real directory that this user owns and that the gate would refuse, replaces its DACL with the same protected owner-only one (SetNamedSecurityInfoW,PROTECTED_DACL_SECURITY_INFORMATION). Scope mirrors Unix: at or below the install root, plus ancestors of the install root strictly inside%LOCALAPPDATA%(never%LOCALAPPDATA%itself or above). Directories owned by someone else, links and anything outside scope are left to the gate.ace_grants_untrusted_write(type, flags, mask, principal_trusted).windows_path_grants_untrusted_writenow calls it, so the gate and the tests share one rule (same behaviour as before: allow-ACEs only, inherit-only ignored, write mask unchanged, trusted = user / Administrators / SYSTEM / TrustedInstaller / CREATOR OWNER).should_repair,in_repair_scope(case-folded component compare),owner_only_sddl.Cargo.lockchange.Tests
Cross-platform unit tests (run on Linux): ACE decision (untrusted Modify refused, each write bit, trusted principal, read-only, inherit-only, deny ACE), repair decision, repair scope (case, prefix, container never touched), SDDL shape and malformed-SID rejection.
cfg(windows)tests (useicacls, same style as the existing ones; not runnable on the Linux box this was written on, they run in the Windows CI job): a created tree is accepted by the gate; a cache under an install root granting Authenticated Users Modify is refused before and accepted aftersecure_release_cache; a directory outside the install root is untouched.Validation

lstat-style check (symlink_metadata), unlike the Unix handle-based tightening from fix(module): tighten a release cache directory through a verified handle #38. It only touches directories this user owns inside the cache tree, so swapping one needs write access the owner-only DACL already withholds; a handle-based variant would be a follow-up.PLACEMENT_REFUSALS, so changing them is a separate, compatible change.Summary by CodeRabbit
