writeSecret is a setter, so calling it on the NETWORK_CONFIG get path was a no-op: the buffer
already holds the stored psk, never the sentinel. MQTT_CONFIG returned the broker password
verbatim.
Both get paths now return secretReserved when req.from != 0, and the matching set paths call
writeSecret so a read-modify-write round trip keeps the stored value.
* AdminModule: only accept admin responses to requests we sent
An admin *_response short-circuited the auth and session-passkey checks that gate
every other admin message, so any node could deliver one. On a channel the module
listens to unauthenticated, a get_module_config_response drives the remote-hardware
pin handler with attacker-supplied values.
Track the destination of outgoing admin requests (per remote, with the pinned PKC
key when there is one) and accept a response only from a node with a matching
outstanding request, inside the same window as the session passkey. Local (from == 0)
admin is unchanged; PhoneAPI already gates it.
Also fix the response dispatch: get_module_config_response.which_payload_variant is a
ModuleConfig oneof tag, but it was compared against the AdminMessage ModuleConfigType
enum (different numbering), so the handler never ran. Compare against the oneof tag.
* AdminModule: rollover-safe request window, bind response to request type
Two review refinements to the request/response pairing:
Use Throttle::isWithinTimespanMs for the outstanding-request expiry instead of
comparing millis()/1000 sums, which mis-expired across the millis() rollover.
Bind each accepted response to a request type actually sent to that node. Each
outstanding record now carries a bitmask of the response variants its requests
authorize, so a get_owner request no longer admits a get_module_config response.
The mask accumulates per remote, so a client may still pipeline several request
types to one node and have every answer accepted.
* AdminModule: track admin requests per-request, not per-node
Reworks the outstanding-request table so each request is its own entry with its own
expiry window and pinned key, replacing the per-node bitmask that shared one timestamp
and one key across every response variant.
That sharing let a later request to the same node extend an earlier one's window and,
worse, clear its PKC pin: an unpinned request cleared keyValid, so a plaintext response
to an earlier PKC-pinned request was then accepted. Per-request entries keep each pin
intact. Identical requests are de-duplicated (a client may fetch several config subtypes,
all answered by one response variant) and eviction compares elapsed time, which is
rollover-safe.
Test: a pinned request's response still requires its key after an unpinned request to the
same node.
* AdminModule: match module-config subtype and consume answered requests
Two refinements to the request/response pairing:
Only remote_hardware get_module_config_response mutates state (the pin table), so it
must answer a request for that exact ModuleConfigType, not just any module-config
request. Each entry records the requested subtype and the gate checks it.
A matched request is now consumed on accept, so a node cannot replay a state-mutating
response within the window. Because one request yields one response, request de-dup is
dropped (a client's N indexed get_channel requests are N entries, each consumed once).
Tests: a non-remote-hardware request does not admit a remote_hardware response, and a
second copy of an answered response is rejected.
A SECURITY_CONFIG get_config response copied config.security verbatim, so a remote
request was answered with the device identity private_key and sent over the air.
Only the local owner needs it, for backup.
Zero private_key in the SECURITY_CONFIG response when the request is remote
(from != 0); the local BLE/USB/TCP path (from == 0) still receives it. public_key
and admin_key are public and stay as they were.
* Allow key verification to work for unknown nodes.
* trunk
* More reliable admin key decryption
* Add admin key fallback tests
* Actually check haveRemoteKey
* Logging cleanup
* Address review feedback
- Persist the committed key + manually-verified flag in
commitVerifiedRemoteNode via saveToDisk(SEGMENT_NODEDATABASE),
replacing the "todo: initiate save"
- Guard the CryptoEngine pending-key slot with a dedicated internal
lock; the Router reads it while already holding the non-recursive
cryptLock, so the accessors cannot reuse that lock
- Draw the security number from the hardware RNG (CryptRNG fallback)
under cryptLock instead of random(); on nRF52 the entropy fill
toggles the same CC310 the BLE task's packet crypto uses
- Return true after fully handling the hash2 response (restores
develop behavior; consistent with the hash1 branch)
- Take uint32_t in the number-picker callbacks so 8-digit hex
nodenums can't truncate through int
- Trim over-long comments flagged by review
* feat(tests): add deterministic tests for admin session-key behavior
