/** * Security Event Workers * * Background processes that watch external sources for security events and * push them into the unified security event store: * * 1. Caddy access log tail — parses /var/log/caddy/access.log (JSON format) * and emits one event per request. Severity escalates for 4xx/5xx and * credential-endpoint hits. * * 2. shared_bans apply tail — parses /var/log/shared-bans-apply.log for * IP-blocklist changes. Emits 'info' events so the dashboard timeline * shows when IPs were banned/promoted. * * 3. fail2ban log tail — parses /var/log/fail2ban.log for ban/unban * actions. SSH jail is the default; can extend to other jails. * * Each worker: * - Starts on app boot (via server.js) * - Tracks its byte offset in the log file so it survives restarts (no re-emit) * - Auto-recovers from truncated/rotated log files * - Has its own error handling — one worker dying doesn't take down the others * * To use the Caddy worker, configure Caddy to log in JSON format: * * { * log default { * output file /var/log/caddy/access.log { * roll_size 100mb * roll_keep 10 * } * format json * } * } * * Then drop a fail2ban jail for HTTP 401/403 patterns — see HARDENING.md P1.1. */ const fs = require('fs'); const { log } = require('../utils/logging'); const path = require('path'); const os = require('os'); const platformPaths = require('../../platform-paths'); const { getStore } = require('./event-store'); const HOSTNAME = os.hostname(); /** * DC-112: map caddy access-log requests to named actions for credential- * bearing auth endpoints, mirroring the in-app audit logger's ACTION_MAP * vocabulary (src/security/audit-logger.js) so both writers answer "who * hit the SSO gate?" with the same action names. * * Caddy forward_auth gates call the API with the LEGACY pre-shim prefix * (/api/auth/gate/ — see the dashcaddy_auth snippet in the Caddyfile * and the back-compat shim in src/app.js), while dashboard JS uses the * canonical /api/v1/... prefix.
