Cross-platform hardening — removes all hardcoded /app/ paths from route files
and routes them through platform-paths.js so the app works the same way
regardless of Docker layout (single-file mount vs consolidated data dir).
Changes:
- platform-paths.js: add generatedCertsDir, pkiDir, containerUpdatesDir,
containerFrontendDir, containerAssetsDir, resolveAssetsPath()
- self-updater.js: UPDATE_URL/MIRROR_URL/CHANNEL env var overrides
- routes/ca.js: use platformPaths for cert paths and generated certs dir
- routes/services.js: use platformPaths.pkiRootCert
- routes/themes.js: derive THEMES_DIR from platformPaths.servicesFile
- routes/config/assets.js + backup.js: use resolveAssetsPath() fallback
- routes/services.js + src/app.js: use platformPaths.pkiRootCert
- server.js: HOST env var support, parse PORT as int
- src/app.js: GET /api/v1/version (public, no auth), global request timeout,
disable x-powered-by, trust proxy
- pylon/dashcaddy-pylon.js: PYLON_HOST env var, graceful shutdown on SIGTERM/SIGINT
A fresh user can now deploy with a custom Docker layout (e.g. /opt/dc/data/
as a single volume mount) and the app finds its files automatically, no env
var configuration required.
1. WebSocket exec auth bypass (exec.js): Require valid JWT or API key
before accepting WebSocket upgrade. Reject unauthenticated requests
with 401 before the upgrade completes.
2. Shell injection in router auto-login (session-handlers.js): Validate
baseUrl against safe hostname pattern before embedding in wget shell
command. Reject with null session if invalid.
3. Path traversal in credentials routes (services.js): Add explicit
serviceId validation (alphanumeric + dash/underscore/dot, max 100
chars) to all three credential endpoints. Removed redundant
try/catch wrapper.
4. execSync injection in CA CSR generation (ca.js): Add sanitize step
replacing any non-alphanumeric domain chars with underscore before
interpolation into shell subj argument. Redundant with existing
validation but provides defense-in-depth.
5. Auth bypass when TOTP disabled (middleware.js): Split the logic
cleanly — disabled TOTP means no auth (initial setup state), enabled
TOTP means all auth methods checked (session/JWT/API key). Removed
the sessionDuration:never conflating shortcut.
