Replace Vulnerabilities::Feedback.only_valid_feedback without joining ci
What does this MR do?
This method joins between ci_*
and non ci_*
tables and as such we
need to replace this logic with something that does not do this join before we move ci_*
tables to a different database.
This method Vulnerabilities::Feedback.only_valid_feedback
was
introduced originally in
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security/gitlab/-/merge_requests/117 to
solve a security vulnerability
#24932 (closed). The basic issue was
that we had a controller that allowed you to create a
Vulnerability::Feedback
and set the pipeline_id
of that. The problem
is that for a window of time a user could have set the pipeline_id
to
be from a different project. We also had another controller that would
present the path
for a pipeline and as such you could learn the path
of private projects by guessing the pipeline_id
from other projects.
The original fix used a join ci_pipelines
to filter out any
Vulnerabilities::Feedback
that happened to be associated to another
project. We can't do this join anymore. It seemed simpler to change the
security fix to focus on not rendering the pipeline
if the
project_id
was belonging to a different project. So instead we just
don't return pipeline
if the project_id
is not what it should be
(ie. they hacked the pipeline_id
to be a different project). This may present some issue in the frontend but this data should only appear if the user in the project deliberately created this hack data so we shouldn't be concerned about the UX impact here.
It's also possible this fix improves performance for this endpoint as it doesn't need to do a redundant join.
Since this fixes the problem in a slightly different way it also
required us to change the test slightly to assert the pipeline
is
filtered out now rather than the whole Feedback
object.
