Description

When the JSON gateway is unavailable, the plugin falls back to netbird profile list. Current NetBird versions print a NAME ACTIVE table, but the fallback still expects ✓ name and ✗ name lines. The WebGUI ends up with an empty profile list, and apply.sh misses the already-active profile check and runs select/up on a save that should do nothing. Both paths now use the same parser, which supports the current table and older output.

Changes

  • include/common.php: add a shared profile list parser that reads the active marker after the name, keeps inactive profiles, and preserves support for older binaries and names with spaces.
  • scripts/apply.sh: replace the old awk fallback with the shared PHP parser so saving an already-connected profile leaves the connection alone.
  • tests/profile-fallback-test.php: add 44 regression checks covering both formats, missing gateway, CLI failures, and the real apply script's no-op save behavior.
  • .github/workflows/lint.yml and tests/README.md: run the new tests in CI and document the isolated container command.

All 44 new checks and the 37 Rosenpass checks passed. Also verified against the released NetBird 0.80.0 binary with the JSON gateway disabled. PHPStan, PHP-CS-Fixer, shell syntax, and whitespace checks passed. Live Unraid testing is still pending.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved profile listing to recognize both current table output and the legacy format, including active and inactive profiles.
    • Active-profile detection now uses the same parsing logic as the WebGUI, helping ensure the correct profile is selected.
  • Tests
    • Added isolated checks for profile parsing and active-profile behavior, including empty, unrecognized, and failed-command output.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The profile-list parser now handles table and legacy output. The apply script uses it to find the first active profile. A container test covers parsing and apply behavior, and the lint workflow runs that test.

Changes

Profile list fallback

Layer / File(s) Summary
Profile parsing and apply fallback
src/usr/local/emhttp/plugins/netbird/include/common.php, src/usr/local/emhttp/plugins/netbird/scripts/apply.sh
listProfilesCli delegates output parsing to parseProfileList. The parser recognizes table and legacy formats. In ensure mode, apply.sh uses listProfilesCli and selects the first active profile.
Container regression coverage and CI
tests/profile-fallback-test.php, tests/README.md, .github/workflows/lint.yml
The container test checks table and legacy fixtures, parsing failure cases, and apply behavior with a fake CLI. The README documents the test command and live-host restriction. The lint workflow runs the test in a network-disabled PHP 8.2 container.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 48cf8

The new test job may expose its checkout token in job output. Disabling checkout credential persistence is advisable before merging; the token’s effective permissions are not confirmed.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 48cf8

The new test job inherits an existing CI credential-exposure pattern. Its read-only, network-disabled container limits mutation and direct network access, but does not prevent reading workspace credentials or emitting them through test output. No broader credential permissions or production access were established. The profile parsing change preserves the existing connection-state checks.

Retained concerns

  • Low · security · inferred: The added PR test job inherits checkout-credential exposure: contributor-controlled PHP can read the mounted checkout workspace while its credential is available. This adds an execution path to an existing weakness, without demonstrated expansion of token permissions or repository scope.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The demonstrated exposure concerns job-local checkout credentials and whatever repository access their effective permissions permit. The new job adds a credential instance, but broader permissions, cross-repository authority or production access are not established. Existing PR tests already expose the same workspace boundary.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — The retained low-severity finding follows PR-controlled PHP to the mounted Git configuration and potentially to credential-bearing test output. Network isolation does not close the output channel, and checkout post-job cleanup occurs after test execution. No runtime credential disclosure was observed in this pass; effective permissions and masking behavior remain unknown.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The test requires an explicit container marker and /.dockerenv, and refuses to replace an existing installation. These controls protect against accidental host execution. They do not restrict malicious PR code, because that code is deliberately executed inside the container with workspace read access.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Apply retains its lock and exact-profile/connected-state predicate. The lock serializes plugin apply operations, but active-profile and status observations remain separate, and interrupted execution can leave an applying result. These are existing lifecycle limitations rather than parser-induced changes.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Make checkout credentials unavailable before executing PR-controlled tests, for example by disabling credential persistence where subsequent authenticated Git operations are unnecessary. Declare the minimum required workflow token permissions rather than relying on external defaults.

Disable checkout credential persistence.

The pull_request job runs contributor-controlled PHP with the checked-out workspace mounted at /work. actions/checkout@v4 persists GITHUB_TOKEN in local Git configuration by default, so the test can read and encode it in job output. --network none does not prevent this.
