Slash commands (/background, /restart, /thread, every auto-registered
gateway command, every auto-registered plugin command) are a separate
Discord interaction surface from regular guild messages. Until now they
ran with NO authorization gate, bypassing every check that on_message
enforces: DISCORD_ALLOWED_USERS, DISCORD_ALLOWED_ROLES,
DISCORD_ALLOWED_CHANNELS, DISCORD_IGNORED_CHANNELS. Any guild member
who could see the bot's slash commands could invoke them as the
operator.
Findings this closes:
1. Remote command execution via /background. /background submits an
arbitrary prompt to the agent's terminal/shell pipeline. Without a
gate, any guild member could pin a session to the operator's identity
and run shell, file, or network operations through the configured
tools, including reading credentials, exfiltrating local files, or
spawning long-running tasks attributed to the operator.
2. Broken access control. The on_message path enforces four allowlists;
the slash path enforced none. Operators who had explicitly locked
the bot down to specific users/roles/channels were silently exposed
on the slash surface, slash invocations from anywhere in the guild
bypassed every restriction.
3. Out-of-band channel egress. /thread (and any plugin command that
posts back via interaction.followup) lets a non-allowlisted invoker
redirect the bot's response into a channel/thread of their choosing,
exfiltrating output (tool results, agent reasoning) to surfaces the
operator never authorized.
4. Privilege escalation via /restart, /sethome and the other
admin-shaped slash commands. With no gate, any user who could see
the command in their slash picker could trigger gateway lifecycle
actions reserved for the operator.
Fix
---
* New ``_check_slash_authorization`` in DiscordAdapter mirrors the
on_message gates one-for-one (DISCORD_ALLOWED_USERS,
DISCORD_ALLOWED_ROLES via the existing ``_is_allowed_user``,
DISCORD_ALLOWED_CHANNELS, DISCORD_IGNORED_CHANNELS, plus the same
thread-parent fallthrough on_message uses).
* Wired into both slash entry points BEFORE ``interaction.response.defer``
so the rejection path can return an ephemeral "not authorized"
message on the still-unresponded interaction:
- ``_run_simple_slash`` (covers /background, every auto-registered
gateway command, every auto-registered plugin command).
- ``_handle_thread_create_slash`` (covers /thread).
* Reject path:
- ephemeral "You're not authorized to use this command." reply to
the invoker.
- structured warning log with user/channel/guild/command/reason.
- fire-and-forget cross-platform admin notification via the
gateway runner (Telegram first, Slack fallback) so operators see
attempts in real time without polling logs.
* Backwards-compatible no-op: if no DISCORD_ALLOWED_* env var is set,
the gate falls through to the existing "single-tenant, all guild
members trusted" default. Deployments that already configured any
allowlist for on_message get slash parity automatically with no
config changes.
Defense in depth (opt-in)
-------------------------
DISCORD_HIDE_SLASH_COMMANDS=true zeroes ``default_member_permissions``
on every registered slash command at registration time, hiding them
from the slash picker for non-administrator guild members. The
server-side gate (``_check_slash_authorization``) is still the
authoritative check on every invocation; the visibility hide just
removes the discoverability of commands the user cannot run anyway.
Off by default to preserve the existing slash UX for deployments that
intentionally allow everyone in the guild.
Tests
-----
``tests/gateway/test_discord_slash_auth.py`` (18 cases) pins the
security-correct behavior so the bypass cannot regress:
backwards-compat (no allowlist → all-pass, parity with on_message),
DISCORD_ALLOWED_USERS parity, DISCORD_ALLOWED_ROLES parity (including
non-member rejection), DISCORD_ALLOWED_CHANNELS parity (the exact
channel scope on_message enforces, including the wildcard and the
DM exemption), DISCORD_IGNORED_CHANNELS parity (including wildcard),
cross-platform admin notification (Telegram primary, Slack fallback,
silent no-op without a runner), and the visibility-hide helper
(off-by-default, helper applies Permissions(0) when invoked,
tolerates frozen command objects).
``tests/gateway/test_discord_slash_commands.py`` is updated to mock
``_check_slash_authorization`` so the existing registration/dispatch/
thread tests don't have to construct a full auth context. The
``/thread`` closure now forwards ``defer`` to the inner handler so the
auth gate has a still-unresponded interaction to reject through.
…ore lookup
/skill is registered through _register_skill_group, outside the
_run_simple_slash dispatcher fixed in the parent commit. That left
two pre-auth observable behaviors:
- autocomplete leaked the installed skill catalog to anyone able
to invoke the command (Discord queries autocomplete on every
keystroke regardless of who can actually run /skill).
- the callback dispatched skill_lookup before any auth check, so
"Unknown skill: <name>" responses differed from a successful
dispatch -- a probing oracle for the catalog.
Refactor the existing gate into a non-responding evaluator
(_evaluate_slash_authorization) and a thin async wrapper that
preserves the old responding behavior. The autocomplete callback
calls the evaluator and returns [] for unauthorized users (sending
an ephemeral per-keystroke would be a UX disaster). The /skill
handler calls the responding wrapper before any skill_lookup so
known and unknown skill names produce identical rejections for
unauthorized users.
No behavior change for authorized users, no behavior change for
deployments without DISCORD_ALLOWED_* configured.
Three bypass paths in the slash gate were silent fall-throughs rather
than rejections:
- DISCORD_ALLOWED_CHANNELS configured + interaction with no
resolvable channel id (chan_id_raw is None for the guild branch):
the entire channel-policy block was guarded by `if chan_id_raw
is not None`, so a malformed guild interaction skipped the
allowlist entirely and proceeded to the user check.
- interaction.user is None with any user/role allowlist
configured: `str(interaction.user.id)` raised AttributeError
in _evaluate_slash_authorization and the interaction failed
opaquely instead of producing a clean ephemeral rejection.
- even with the evaluator above guarded, _reject_slash itself
dereferenced interaction.user.id -- so the fail-closed branch
that produced (False, "missing user") still crashed before the
ephemeral could be sent. Tolerate a missing user there too,
falling back to "?" placeholders for the log line.
Both fail-closed branches now return False with a reason string and
emit a clean ephemeral rejection. The DM path continues to be exempt
from channel gating (matches the existing on_message DM lockdown,
which has its own user-allowlist enforcement). When no allowlists
are configured, missing-user still allows -- this preserves the
"no allowlist = everyone" backwards-compat for deployments that
have not opted in to gating.
Thread parent_id continues to be merged into the channel id set,
so an allowlist or blocklist entry for a forum channel applies to
its child threads. The ignored-beats-allowed ordering was already
correct (ignored check runs after allowed and rejects regardless);
add a short comment so future readers don't reorder it.
…lures _notify_unauthorized_slash treated any non-raising adapter.send() as delivered and stopped the fallback chain. SendResult(success=False) -- the dataclass returned by every gateway adapter when a send fails without an exception (rate limit, auth refresh, network blip the adapter handled internally) -- short-circuited Slack notification even though no message had actually been delivered. Check `getattr(result, "success", None) is False` after the await and continue the loop in that case. Confirmed delivery (success=True or no .success attribute on the result) still returns. Hard exceptions continue to be caught and logged at debug. Existing tests (no .success on AsyncMock return value) keep passing because `getattr(result, "success", None)` is None in that case, not False -- only an explicit success=False triggers the fall-through.
…views
The four Discord component views (ExecApprovalView, SlashConfirmView,
UpdatePromptView, ModelPickerView) accepted only allowed_user_ids
and used the legacy "no allowlist = allow everyone" branch when that
set was empty. Deployments that configure DISCORD_ALLOWED_ROLES
without DISCORD_ALLOWED_USERS therefore had a wide-open component
surface: any guild member who could see the prompt could approve
exec commands, cancel slash confirmations, or switch the model --
even though the same user would be rejected at the slash and
on_message gates.
Add an allowed_role_ids parameter to each view's __init__, pass
self._allowed_role_ids at every construction site, and route
_check_auth through a shared module-level helper
(_component_check_auth) so the four views can't drift apart again.
The helper applies the same user-or-role OR semantics as
DiscordAdapter._is_allowed_user / _evaluate_slash_authorization:
- both sets empty -> allow (preserves no-allowlist back-compat)
- user in user allowlist -> allow
- role allowlist set + user has matching role -> allow
- role allowlist set + interaction.user has no resolvable .roles
(DM context, raw User payload) -> reject (fail closed)
- otherwise -> reject
Defaults the new parameter to None / empty set so any external
callers that still pass only allowed_user_ids retain their existing
behavior.
Pin the residual auth-parity behavior fixed in the four preceding
commits so it can't regress.
tests/gateway/test_discord_slash_auth.py extensions:
- missing channel id with DISCORD_ALLOWED_CHANNELS configured
rejects (channel-policy fail-closed)
- missing channel id without channel policy still allows
- missing interaction.user with allowlist configured rejects
cleanly (no AttributeError) and emits an ephemeral
- missing interaction.user without allowlist still allows
(no-allowlist back-compat)
- thread parent channel on DISCORD_ALLOWED_CHANNELS passes
- thread parent channel on DISCORD_IGNORED_CHANNELS rejects
- channel listed in BOTH allowed and ignored: ignored wins
- admin notify falls back to Slack on Telegram soft failure
(SendResult(success=False))
- admin notify still short-circuits on Telegram successful delivery
- /skill autocomplete returns [] for unauthorized users
- /skill autocomplete returns choices for authorized users
- /skill handler rejects before _run_simple_slash dispatch
- /skill handler produces identical rejection for known and
unknown skill names (no catalog-probing oracle)
- /skill handler dispatches normally for authorized users
tests/gateway/test_discord_component_auth.py (new file) covers
the shared _component_check_auth helper directly and the four
view classes that route through it:
- empty allowlists -> allow everyone (back-compat)
- user in user allowlist passes; user not in user allowlist rejects
- role-only deployment with matching role passes
- role-only deployment without matching role rejects
- both allowlists set: user-or-role OR semantics
- role policy + user.roles attribute missing: fail closed
- interaction.user is None: fail closed
- all four views (ExecApproval, SlashConfirm, UpdatePrompt,
ModelPicker) accept allowed_role_ids and apply it correctly
- default value for allowed_role_ids preserves the legacy
user-only call signatures used elsewhere in the codebase
Test fixtures use placeholder ids only.
