Description

Sessions previously only checked against connectionIds and nodeIds. There are 5 actions that use clusterId and not connectionId that fan out to all nodes in the cluster. By not attempting authorization on clusterIds, we are leaving a security vulnerability.

This PR verifies that clusterIds are correctly linked to the connectionId submitted, then using that information, authorizes requests.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The server now validates clusterId ownership for WebSocket actions, resolves node IDs, and rejects invalid scope claims. Integration tests cover these cases. TypeScript configurations and dependencies now target ES2025 and TypeScript 6.

Changes

Session authorization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Cluster authorization contract and handler
apps/server/src/actions/utils.ts, common/src/connection-id.ts, apps/server/src/index.ts
WebSocket payloads accept an optional clusterId. The handler resolves node IDs and validates connection and cluster ownership.
Authorization integration coverage
apps/server/src/__integration__/session-authorization.integration.test.ts, common/src/__tests__/connection-id.test.ts
Tests cover rejected scope claims, valid node IDs, empty cluster IDs, invalid node IDs, and socket reuse after rejection.

TypeScript tooling

Layer / File(s) Summary
TypeScript configuration alignment
.vscode/settings.json, apps/frontend/tsconfig.*.json, apps/server/tsconfig.json, common/tsconfig.json
Compiler targets and libraries use ES2025. The server uses noEmit. VS Code uses the workspace TypeScript SDK.
TypeScript dependency and release alignment
apps/server/package.json, common/package.json, package.json
TypeScript, tsup, and Node type dependencies are updated. The package version changes to 1.1.1.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 175d1

The authorization change is mergeable with owner follow-up: one integration test does not isolate the missing-connectionId behavior, and a setup failure could leave a test connection open and delay the test process from exiting.

55-69: 🔒 Security & Privacy | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Isolate the missing-connectionId authorization case.

The request is sent by other on Line 57, but clusterId belongs to owner. This payload is invalid because of both the missing connectionId and the foreign session. The test can therefore pass even if the missing-connectionId check is removed. Send the payload through owner and collect replies from owner to test only the intended condition.

Proposed test correction
-    other.send({
+    owner.send({
...
-    const fulfilled = await other.collectFor(VALKEY.COMMANDLOGS.commandLogsFulfilled, 3000)
-    const errored = await other.collectFor(VALKEY.COMMANDLOGS.commandLogsError, 100)
+    const fulfilled = await owner.collectFor(VALKEY.COMMANDLOGS.commandLogsFulfilled, 3000)
+    const errored = await owner.collectFor(VALKEY.COMMANDLOGS.commandLogsError, 100)

Register socket cleanup before connection setup.

If the second WsClient.connect fails on Line 24, execution never reaches the after hook on Line 33. The already-open owner socket remains active and can keep the integration process alive after setup failure. Register cleanup before either connection attempt, or close every successfully created client in a catch/finally block.
