Always implement comprehensive validation for access control mechanisms to prevent unauthorized access and privilege escalation. This includes validating user permissions, enforcing tenant isolation, and preventing bypass through direct API calls.
Always implement comprehensive validation for access control mechanisms to prevent unauthorized access and privilege escalation. This includes validating user permissions, enforcing tenant isolation, and preventing bypass through direct API calls.
Key validation points:
Example implementation:
def get_execution_by_id(self, execution_id: str, tenant_id: Optional[str] = None):
# When tenant_id is None, it's the caller's responsibility to ensure proper data isolation
# If execution_id comes from untrusted sources (e.g., API request),
# set tenant_id to prevent horizontal privilege escalation
if tenant_id is None:
# Log warning or require tenant_id for security
pass
# Early tenant validation
if dataset.tenant_id != user.current_tenant_id:
raise NoPermissionError("Access denied")
# Additional permission validation
if not self._has_permission(user, execution_id):
abort(403) # Not 404 - proper HTTP semantics
This approach ensures that security boundaries are maintained at multiple layers and prevents common authorization vulnerabilities.
