umbral_security/lib.rs
1//! umbral-security — CSRF protection and a configurable security-header bundle.
2//!
3//! CSRF protection plus a security-header bundle,
4//! widened to the modern header set. Plug it into the app and every non-safe
5//! request must carry a matching CSRF token; every response gets the hardening
6//! headers you've enabled.
7//!
8//! ```ignore
9//! App::builder()
10//! .plugin(AuthPlugin::new())
11//! .plugin(SecurityPlugin::new()) // secure-but-dev-safe defaults
12//! .build()
13//! .await?;
14//! ```
15//!
16//! ## Configuration is a struct, not a builder chain
17//!
18//! Construct a [`SecurityConfig`] (every field has a secure, dev-safe default)
19//! and flip exactly what you need — no long `.with_x().with_y()` chain:
20//!
21//! ```ignore
22//! SecurityPlugin::with_config(SecurityConfig {
23//! hsts: true,
24//! content_security_policy: Some("default-src 'self'".into()),
25//! server_header: Some("umbral".into()),
26//! request_body_limit: Some(2 * 1024 * 1024),
27//! ..Default::default()
28//! })
29//! ```
30//!
31//! `SecurityPlugin::new()` keeps the defaults; `SecurityPlugin::with_hsts(true)`
32//! stays as a one-flag convenience.
33//!
34//! ## CSRF
35//!
36//! Signed double-submit cookie pattern, fully automatic (see
37//! `docs/decisions/2026-06-10-automatic-csrf.md`):
38//!
39//! 1. **The middleware is the only mint.** On GET / HEAD / OPTIONS it mints a
40//! token *before* the handler runs (first visit covered) and appends the
41//! `umbral_csrf_token` cookie to the response. The cookie is NOT HttpOnly:
42//! the page's JS reads it and copies it into a header on later writes.
43//! 2. **Templates get the token for free.** The token is scoped into
44//! `umbral::templates::CURRENT_CSRF` around every non-exempt request, so
45//! any rendered template can write `{{ csrf_input }}` (the full hidden
46//! input) or `{{ csrf_token }}` (raw value, for `X-CSRF-Token` headers /
47//! htmx `hx-headers`). View code never touches CSRF.
48//! 3. Every POST / PUT / PATCH / DELETE must include the cookie AND a matching
49//! `X-CSRF-Token` header (JS path) or `csrf_token` / `__csrf` form field
50//! (HTML-form path). A mismatch returns 403. On success the token stays in
51//! scope so a validation-error re-render still carries it into the form.
52//!
53//! The token is a 32-byte CSPRNG value, hex-encoded. The CSRF cookie gains
54//! `Secure` automatically under `Environment::Prod` (or force it with
55//! [`SecurityConfig::csrf_cookie_secure`]).
56//!
57//! ### Signed / session-bound CSRF ([`SecurityConfig::signed_csrf`])
58//!
59//! Naive double-submit trusts the cookie: an attacker who can plant a cookie on
60//! a sibling subdomain can forge a matching token. `signed_csrf` (**default
61//! on**) makes the token `<random>.<HMAC-SHA256(secret_key, random[.session])>`
62//! — a forged cookie can't carry a valid signature without the app
63//! `secret_key`. Set [`SecurityConfig::session_bind_cookie`] to also fold the
64//! session cookie's value into the signature so a token minted under one
65//! session can't be replayed under another.
66//!
67//! The flip to default-on is deploy-safe because the middleware **rotates**
68//! any cookie token that can't pass signed-mode validation on the next safe
69//! request (browsers holding pre-upgrade unsigned cookies converge instead of
70//! 403ing), and because no other mint exists: the admin prefers the ambient
71//! middleware token and only self-mints when this plugin isn't mounted. With
72//! no resolvable `secret_key` (tests, pre-`App::build()` renders) minting and
73//! validation degrade to plain double-submit instead of locking writes out.
74//! Opt back into plain double-submit with `signed_csrf: false`.
75//!
76//! ## Headers
77//!
78//! Enabled by default: `X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff`, `X-Frame-Options:
79//! DENY`, `Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin`, `X-XSS-Protection:
80//! 0` (modern guidance disables the legacy auditor), `Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy:
81//! same-origin`, and a `Server: umbral` header. Opt-in
82//! (default off, each a field on [`SecurityConfig`]): `Strict-Transport-Security`,
83//! `Content-Security-Policy`, `Permissions-Policy`, `Cross-Origin-Resource-Policy`,
84//! `Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy`. CSP and HSTS are off by default because a wrong
85//! value breaks apps (HSTS bricks `http://` dev; a strict CSP breaks the CDN-using
86//! admin).
87//!
88//! ## Server identity & tower-http knobs
89//!
90//! [`SecurityConfig::server_header`] sets the `Server` header (prefer a bare
91//! product name — a version is an information-disclosure tradeoff);
92//! [`SecurityConfig::hide_server_header`] strips whatever the stack added.
93//! [`SecurityConfig::request_body_limit`] caps the request body via tower-http's
94//! `RequestBodyLimitLayer` (DoS hardening); [`SecurityConfig::redact_sensitive_headers`]
95//! (default on) marks `authorization` / `cookie` / `set-cookie` sensitive so
96//! they're redacted in tracing output.
97//!
98//! ## Why this lives in Plugin::wrap_router
99//!
100//! Layering middleware needs a `tower::Layer` value; the Plugin trait's
101//! `wrap_router(Router) -> Router` lets each plugin layer its middleware with
102//! the full axum / tower API. The app builder calls it in topological order so
103//! security wraps everything declared before it.
