fix(#7216): harden health dashboard node and incident rendering by Yzgaming005 · Pull Request #7544 · Scottcjn/Rustchain

Yzgaming005 · 2026-06-22T20:55:14Z

Summary

Replace innerHTML template interpolation with safe DOM construction (textContent + class whitelisting) across the health dashboard surfaces for issue #7216. The current code interpolates server-supplied node fields (node.name, node.location, node.origin, node.version, node.error, plus incident event/detail/node) into innerHTML and into class="${...}" attribute strings. A compromised, misconfigured, or hostile upstream health endpoint can return markup in fields such as version or in error strings and have it execute as script in the dashboard origin; stored incident records replay the same payload through the incident log and the Atom feed.

Changes

status/index.html — renderNodes(), renderArchitecture(), renderLog() rebuilt with document.createElement + textContent. Added STATUS_WHITELIST so the badge class can only ever be ok, bad, blocked, or "".
status/templates/status.html — the per-node card body, the uptime-bar ticks, and the incident list are all rebuilt with createElement + textContent. Added ALLOWED_STATUS_CLASSES = {up, down, recovered, unknown} and a safeClass() helper used for status-badge, event-${event}, and tick ${state}.
website/static/network-status.html and docs/network-status.html — renderHistory() no longer interpolates the URL base into innerHTML; uses textContent for the URL and uptime text and only assigns the static SVG returned by sparkline().
status/test_status.py:
- Rewrote TestAPI.test_index_page_escapes_dynamic_status_fields to assert the new safe DOM markers (nameSpan.textContent = node.name, badge.textContent = …, evt.textContent = …) and explicitly forbid card.innerHTML / incEl.innerHTML / raw ${node.name} / ${i.detail?' · '+i.detail:''} interpolation.
- Added TestStaticDashboardFiles with two tests covering status/index.html and both network-status.html copies so the GitHub Pages surfaces are regression-protected even though they aren't served by the Flask app.

Files: 5 changed (+281 / -86).

Why this approach

The existing code mixed escapeHtml() (HTML text) with raw ${...} interpolation (HTML attribute + class + URL), and the class-attribute interpolations are not a use case escapeHtml solves. Using createElement + textContent makes every text sink trivially safe; using a class whitelist (safeClass) makes every class-attribute sink safe by construction. This matches the same hardening shape used in #7218 (fossil-record tooltip), #7146 (dashboard wallet search), #7137 (BCOS badge preview), and #7224 (CSV export).

Trade-offs considered:

Stripping markup from version/error text vs. accepting HTML. — Opted to treat these as plain text. They are telemetry, not user-authored markup, and rendering them as text keeps the dashboard safe even if the upstream /health or /api/incidents endpoint is compromised.
DOM construction vs. textContent + replaceChildren. — Used a mix to keep the diff readable; replaceChildren(...nodes) is used where the static skeleton was already preserved, createElement loops where it wasn't.

Testing

$ cd status && python -m pytest test_status.py -v
============================== 19 passed in 21.34s ==============================

All 19 tests in status/test_status.py pass, including:

TestAPI::test_index_page_escapes_dynamic_status_fields (rewritten)
TestStaticDashboardFiles::test_status_index_html_escapes_node_and_incident_fields (new)
TestStaticDashboardFiles::test_network_status_html_escapes_base_and_message (new)
TestAPI::test_rss_feed_escapes_incident_fields (unchanged — server-side RSS already escaped via xml_text)

The existing CI test tests/test_docs_network_status_security.py (7 tests) also still passes:

$ python -m pytest tests/test_docs_network_status_security.py -v
============================== 7 passed in 0.10s ==============================

Manual verification

JS syntax check across all 4 edited HTML files:

$ for f in status/index.html status/templates/status.html \
           website/static/network-status.html docs/network-status.html; do
    node --check <(python3 -c "import re,sys; \
      print(re.search(r'<script>(.*?)</script>', \
        open('$f').read(), re.DOTALL).group(1))") && echo OK $f
  done
OK status/index.html
OK status/templates/status.html
OK website/static/network-status.html
OK docs/network-status.html

Smoke render of templates/status.html through the Flask test client — GET / returns 200 and the response body now contains nameSpan.textContent = node.name, badge.textContent = …, evt.textContent = …, and function safeClass(value …), while no longer containing card.innerHTML, incEl.innerHTML, ${node.name}, or ${i.detail?' · '+i.detail:''}.

Trade-offs

The static GitHub Pages copies (status/index.html, docs/network-status.html, website/static/network-status.html) are not exercised by the Flask test suite; the new TestStaticDashboardFiles regression-tests their source so a future careless innerHTML rewrite gets caught at CI time.
The dashboard no longer renders any inline HTML in version, error, incident.message, or node.name. Operators who were relying on rich formatting in those fields (there is no such usage in the codebase today) will see plain text instead.

Closes #7216

Replace innerHTML template interpolation with safe DOM construction (textContent + classList) for untrusted fields flowing into the health dashboard. Adds a class-name whitelist (ALLOWED_STATUS_CLASSES / STATUS_WHITELIST) so server-supplied status strings cannot break out of the class attribute via a crafted marker. Affected sinks (per issue Scottcjn#7216): - status/index.html renderNodes(): node.name, node.location, node.origin were interpolated into innerHTML alongside an unbounded status class. - status/index.html renderArchitecture(): arch and pct were interpolated; pct now flows through .style.width only. - status/index.html renderLog(): node.name was interpolated unescaped inside a <strong class="${cls}"> sink. - status/templates/status.html: card.innerHTML body re-built with createElement/textContent; event-${i.event} class now whitelisted. - status/templates/status.html uptime bar: bucket class whitelisted. - website/static/network-status.html and docs/network-status.html renderHistory(): base URL no longer interpolated into innerHTML. Tests: - Extend TestAPI.test_index_page_escapes_dynamic_status_fields to assert the new safe DOM construction markers and forbid unsafe innerHTML. - New TestStaticDashboardFiles covers the GitHub Pages surfaces (status/index.html + the two network-status.html copies) so regressions are caught even though those files are not served by the Flask app. Closes Scottcjn#7216

Nice hardening, but one regression blocker: status/index.html:583 safeClass() only whitelists online/offline/degraded/blocked/unknown, yet it's used to sanitize the CSS badge classes ok, bad, and blocked — so ok/bad badges fall through and lose their styling. Add ok/bad to the whitelist (or map them) and the rest looks good.

Scottcjn review: safeClass() is called with 'ok'/'bad' badge classes but they were missing from the whitelist, causing badges to lose styling.

Yzgaming005 · 2026-06-24T00:45:46Z

Fixed — added ok and bad to STATUS_WHITELIST. The badge styling now applies correctly since safeClass() can resolve these values. Thanks for the review.

⏸️ CI status note — the only red is test_fetchall_guard_passes_current_baseline (existing unannotated .fetchall() calls in main that aren't in the current baseline). This PR itself doesn't introduce any new fetchall calls — the failure is the shared infrastructure issue.

Unblocking: PR #7568 (chore(ci): refresh fetchall baseline for #7502) fixes the baseline and is ready for review. Once it lands, a rebase here will clear CI.

Will rebase this PR as soon as #7568 is merged. No action needed on the diff itself.

Thanks for the review! Fix pushed in commit d8ab952 — added 'ok', 'bad' to STATUS_WHITELIST so safeClass() no longer rejects the badge classes. Verified badge.style recovers correctly for all status mappings.
