GHSA-8vh3-g2qg-2h2c (CVSS 9.1, CWE-306): POST /webhooks/nextcloud had no
authentication when WEBHOOK_SECRET was unset (the default). The receiver
trusted the attacker-supplied user.uid and fed it to Qdrant, letting an
unauthenticated network caller delete or re-index any user's vector
embeddings.
Webhooks now require WEBHOOK_SECRET end-to-end:
- app.py: the /webhooks/nextcloud route is only mounted when WEBHOOK_SECRET
is set; otherwise it 404s and a startup warning notes vector sync falls
back to the polling scanner.
- webhook_receiver.py: removed the warn-and-accept fallback. No secret -> 503,
missing/invalid bearer -> 401; the payload is never processed unauthenticated.
- webhook_routes.py / api/webhooks.py: webhook_auth_pair() raises
WebhookSecretNotConfigured instead of returning authMethod="none"; both
registration entry points return a clear 503 so no dead unauthenticated
webhooks are created.
Also expose webhooks availability to the Astrolabe UI via GET /api/v1/status
("webhooks_enabled": bool), set WEBHOOK_SECRET on the docker-compose
semantic-search dev services, and update env.sample + ADR-010 / ADR-018 /
webhook-management-guide docs.
Vector sync still works without a secret via the polling scanner.

428 (Precondition Required, RFC 6585) is the correct semantic — the
request requires the client to complete a prerequisite step (Login Flow
v2 provisioning) before retrying. 412 (Precondition Failed) is for
header-based preconditions like ETags / If-Match.
No behavior change beyond the status code; same JSON payload.

The webhook API endpoints in api/webhooks.py forwarded the inbound MCP
OAuth bearer token directly to Nextcloud as the Authorization header.
Per ADR-022 / docs/login-flow-v2.md the data leg from MCP server to
Nextcloud must use HTTP Basic Auth with the user's stored Login Flow v2
app password — bearer-forwarding requires upstream user_oidc patches that
were never merged and is incompatible with admin endpoints gated by
@PasswordConfirmationRequired (e.g. webhook_listeners/api/v1/webhooks,
which 401s).
PR #760 papered over the symptom for /api/v1/apps by switching to the
permissive /cloud/capabilities endpoint, but the same architectural
mistake remained on list_webhooks / create_webhook / delete_webhook,
which still 500'd on the astrolabe admin UI's preset page.
Changes:
- New helper api/_auth.py:get_basic_auth_for_user(user_id) reads the
user's app password from encrypted storage and returns
(username, app_password). Mirrors context.py:_get_client_from_login_flow
but is callable from Starlette routes (no MCP Context required).
- All four endpoints in api/webhooks.py now use httpx.BasicAuth instead
of forwarding the OAuth bearer; ProvisioningRequiredError is mapped to
HTTP 412 so callers can render a "complete provisioning" CTA rather
than receiving an opaque 500.
- Outbound NC requests now identify the user by the username recorded at
Login Flow v2 provisioning time (which may differ from the IdP-issued
user_id) — flowed into WebhooksClient and used for logging.
Tests:
- tests/unit/test_management_apps_endpoint.py: assertions updated to
verify outbound NC request uses BasicAuth and carries no Authorization
header. Replaced "missing-Authorization → 500" test with a
ProvisioningRequiredError → 412 case.
- tests/unit/test_webhooks_api_auth.py (new): cross-endpoint coverage
for list_webhooks, create_webhook, delete_webhook and the new helper —
including 412 symmetry for all four endpoints.

The Astrolabe webhooks UI hits /api/v1/apps on the MCP server, which
forwarded the OAuth bearer token to /ocs/v1.php/cloud/apps?filter=enabled.
That OCS endpoint is admin-only AND @PasswordConfirmationRequired —
neither requirement is satisfiable via an OAuth bearer token, so even an
admin user's token returns a silent 401 (no entry in nextcloud.log).
Switch to /ocs/v2.php/cloud/capabilities, which has no admin or password-
confirmation gate, accepts the existing bearer token, and returns a
capabilities map keyed by app id (notes, files, tables, forms, etc.).
This is sufficient for the webhook presets UI to gate available presets
against the running Nextcloud instance's enabled apps.
Bearer is preserved on the outbound call because anonymous capabilities
omits notes/tables/forms — only authenticated capabilities exposes them.
Tests:
- New unit test covers the regression (asserts /ocs/v2.php/cloud/capabilities
is hit, NOT /cloud/apps), response parsing, sanitized error messages,
and missing-config paths.
- New integration test under tests/server/login_flow/ drives a real
OAuth flow against mcp-login-flow with a static OIDC client
(nextcloudMcpServerUIPublicClient) and asserts /api/v1/apps returns 200
with core/files in the response.
docker-compose.yml: aligns mcp-login-flow's ALLOWED_MGMT_CLIENT with
mcp-multi-user-basic so the same static-client test fixture works for both.
Follow-up to homelab-argocd #1608, which set ALLOWED_MGMT_CLIENT in
production but didn't unblock the webhooks flow.

Address round-5 reviewer feedback on PR #747:
- Escape `webhook_uri` in the admin pane HTML template so an operator-
controlled env value (`WEBHOOK_INTERNAL_URL`, `NEXTCLOUD_MCP_SERVER_URL`)
can't inject markup. The sibling `preset_id` and exception messages were
already escaped — this one was the odd one out.
- Convert the eight remaining f-string `logger.warning`/`logger.error`
calls in `api/webhooks.py` to lazy `%s` formatting, matching the style
already adopted by `webhook_receiver.py` and `webhook_routes.py`.
- Document why the 401 from `handle_nextcloud_webhook` deliberately omits
`WWW-Authenticate`: NC's webhook delivery worker has no auth-flow state
machine to negotiate against, the bearer is a static shared secret
configured out-of-band via `WEBHOOK_SECRET`, and a challenge response
wouldn't change client behaviour. The existing warning log already
records the rejection.

Adds optional shared-secret authentication for /webhooks/nextcloud,
addressing the security follow-up flagged in #747.
Behavior:
- WEBHOOK_SECRET set: registrations pass authMethod="header" with
authData={"Authorization": "Bearer <secret>"} (encrypted at-rest in
Nextcloud's DB and forwarded on every delivery). The receiver
validates the same header with hmac.compare_digest before parsing
any payload; missing/invalid → 401.
- WEBHOOK_SECRET unset: registrations stay on authMethod="none" and
the receiver accepts unauthenticated POSTs (logging a one-time
startup warning). Backward compatible — operators can roll out at
their own pace.
Implementation notes:
- WebhooksClient.create_webhook gains an `auth_data` parameter mapped
to NC's `authData` body field; this is distinct from the existing
`headers` parameter (`headers` is plaintext static request headers,
`authData` is encrypted at-rest in NC and only emitted when
authMethod="header"). The previous `auth_method="bearer"` mention in
the docstring was incorrect — NC supports only "none" and "header".
- A small `webhook_auth_pair()` helper in auth/webhook_routes.py
centralises the secret→(auth_method, auth_data) resolution so the
preset flow and the Astrolabe-facing /api/v1/webhooks endpoint stay
in sync.
Also addresses the smaller review points from #747:
- f-string → lazy %s formatting in webhook_receiver.py and
webhook_routes.py.
- Move `int(time)` inside webhook_parser's try/except so a malformed
`time` field returns None instead of raising ValueError.

Enable ruff PLC0415 rule for all source files (tests excluded via
per-file-ignores). Move 136 inline imports to top-level across 33 files.
8 imports suppressed with noqa for legitimate reasons: circular
dependencies (client/__init__.py, context.py), optional dependency
guards (app.py document processors, auth/userinfo_routes.py), and
post-env-setup imports (smithery_main.py).

OAuth flows, and health checks.

Split the monolithic management.py (1988 lines) into 4 focused modules:
- management.py: Server status, user sessions, shared helpers (~520 lines)
- passwords.py: App password provisioning for BasicAuth mode (~300 lines)
- webhooks.py: Webhook registration management (~290 lines)
- visualization.py: Search and PDF preview endpoints (~810 lines)
Backward compatibility maintained via __init__.py re-exports.
Updated test imports to use new module paths.
