Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
## Summary
The web UI (`/ui/*`) does not apply the per-operator CA scoping the JSON API received for GHSA-598g-h2vc-h5vg. Any authenticated non-admin operator (for example, one created via self-registration or OIDC) can access resources belonging to other operators.
## Impact
A non-admin operator can:
- **Block or delete any other operator's host.** `POST /ui/hosts/{id}/block` and `DELETE /ui/hosts/{id}` act on the URL `id` with no ownership check, so a non-admin can block (revoking the host's certificate via the blocklist) or delete any host in the deployment — a cross-operator denial of service.
- **Read every operator's hosts and networks.** The dashboard, `/ui/hosts`, the host detail page, `/ui/networks` (including the create-form error re-render), and the `/ui/events` stream all return data across all operators, exposing host names, Nebula IPs, public IPs, certificate fingerprints and expiry, and network names and CIDRs.
This is the same cross-operator class as GHSA-598g; that remediation covered the JSON API but not the web read/mutation surface. The host create/edit/mobile-bundle/network-create paths and all CA-management routes were already correctly scoped.
Affected handlers (`internal/web`): `handleHostDetail`, `handleHostBlock`, `handleHostDelete`, `handleDashboard`, `handlePartialStats`, `handleHosts`, `handleNetworks`, `renderNetworksError`, `handleHostEvents`.
## Conditions
Exposure requires at least one non-admin operator to exist (self-registration enabled, OIDC, or an admin-created user). A single-admin deployment with no additional operators is not affected.
## Fix
A complete candidate fix with regression tests is ready in a private repository shared with the maintainer (`ak2k/nebula-mesh-ghsa-web`, PR #1): scope these handlers to the session operator's owned CAs (admins keep the full view), mirroring the API's ownership checks.
