Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 4bac1

Typing in the server URL, cache name or token fields may be reverted on each keystroke and fire a network request each time. This should be fixed before merge. The remaining findings are minor.

Security architecture risk: Low · up to 4bac1

The app is a static, client-only dashboard and has no server-side authority of its own. Even so, it handles a private cache access token. The token is saved in browser storage and sent to whatever cache address the user enters, unless that address is the public NixOS cache. The address can use any scheme, including plain HTTP. One confirmed issue about how this token can be exposed is still open, so the risk is not minimal. The impact stays limited because the address and token come from the user's own input, not from links or page parameters. The fallback to the public cache sends no token.

Retained concerns

• Low · security · observed: The client API sends the private-cache bearer token to any user-configured endpoint whose hostname is not cache.nixos.org. It does not check the scheme (http:// is accepted) and does not limit the token to the Attic origin it belongs to. The token is also kept in browser storage indefinitely. As a result, the token can travel over plaintext or reach a third-party host, and any script running in the origin can read it.
• Low · security · inferred: The dev and preview servers listen on all interfaces (host: true) and expose a /proxy-cache relay to cache.kleinbem.dev. While either server runs, any host on the local network can use the relay. It is unknown whether the upstream has IP-based controls or quotas that the relay would bypass.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The token exposed is one user's Attic cache token for the configured cache. The app has no server-side component, so there is no tenant-wide or service-wide exposure. The effective scope depends on what permissions that token grants, which I did not see.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

• observed — Retained finding: if the user enters a non-public endpoint, including an http:// URL or a hostile host, the bearer token is sent there. In the code I read, the endpoint came only from user input and localStorage, not from links or page parameters. That limits how far an attacker can trigger this independently.
• inferred — Deferred, not verified: the CI workflow uses an action from a different owner, and whether the project trusts that owner is not established.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — The public-cache fallback calls fetchNarInfo without a token and runs only for a 404 from a hostname exactly equal to cache.kleinbem.dev. So credentials are not carried across into the public cache.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Send the token only to https endpoints on an explicit allowlist of Attic origins. Consider keeping it in memory or session-only storage instead of localStorage.
• proposed — Reject inputs that do not match a hash instead of passing the raw input into the authenticated request path.
• proposed — Bind the dev and preview servers to loopback by default so the /proxy-cache relay is not reachable from the local network.

Pin @kleinbem/web-config to a commit or tag.

git+https://github.com/kleinbem/web-config.git#main follows a moving branch. Installs and Nix builds can change without a repository change. The lockfile pins a commit, but npm update or a lock refresh silently picks up new main code. importNpmLock also needs a stable revision for this git dependency. Use a tag or a commit SHA.

Proposed fix

-    "@kleinbem/web-config": "git+https://github.com/kleinbem/web-config.git#main"
+    "@kleinbem/web-config": "git+https://github.com/kleinbem/web-config.git#<commit-sha-or-tag>"

Remove the duplicated proxy configuration.

The server.proxy and preview.proxy blocks are identical. Extract one const proxy and use it in both places.

Proposed fix

+const proxy = {
+	'/proxy-cache': {
+		target: 'https://cache.kleinbem.dev',
+		changeOrigin: true,
+		rewrite: (path: string) => path.replace(/^\/proxy-cache/, '')
+	}
+};

Then set proxy in both server and preview.

Inline comments:
Review comments at @src/app.html:
- Around line 9-24: Update the theme selection in the bootstrap script so only
stored dark or light values are used directly; for missing, system, or any other
stored value, select the theme from the system preference. Keep the existing
dataset and class updates unchanged.

Review comments at @src/lib/attic-api.ts:
- Around line 114-116: Update the Authorization header construction in
queryCacheInfo and fetchNarInfo to send the bearer token only when the endpoint
uses HTTPS or is a loopback address; otherwise withhold the token or report an
error. Preserve the existing token and isNixOSPublic checks.
- Line 57: Update extractStoreHash to return an empty string when the input
matches neither supported store-hash pattern, so invalid values are rejected
before a request is made. In the URL construction, encode cacheName and
cleanHash as separate path segments with encodeURIComponent, preserving the
existing public-cache URL structure.

Review comments at @src/routes/+layout.svelte:
- Around line 48-84: Extract the duplicated theme updates in the `theme-dark`,
`theme-light` and `theme-system` handlers into a shared `applyTheme(theme)`
helper; catch storage-write failures so applying the theme still proceeds, and
notify `Header.svelte` through a shared state mechanism or `fleet-theme-change`
event so its displayed theme stays in sync.
- Around line 87-95: Update handleKeydown so the `/` shortcut is ignored when
the command palette is already open, any modifier key is held, or the event
target is an input, textarea, select, or contenteditable element. Preserve the
existing shortcut behaviour for other targets.

Review comments at @src/routes/+page.svelte:
- Line 90: Prevent the initial testConnection call inside the reactive effect
from tracking endpoint, cacheName, and token; run it untracked. Load saved
settings from localStorage only once in onMount, rather than on subsequent
effect runs, and leave the attic:test-connection listener’s independent call
unchanged.

All inline findings fixed in #5 and #6. Nitpicks: the vite.config.ts proxy is shared now (#6). Not changing the @kleinbem/web-config#main spec: the fleet apps track web-config main on purpose, package-lock.json pins the commit and importNpmLock builds from the lock. Closing this review-only PR.
