CWE: CWE-732 — Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource
Set the token file mode before writing the refresh token. When the parent directory permits access, Path.write_text can create the file with permissions derived from the process umask. Another local user can read the token before chmod, and the token remains exposed if chmod fails. This also affects OPENCRE_MCP_TOKEN_FILE, which forces the file backend.
The creation mode protects new files only. For an existing file, set the mode successfully before truncating or writing. If that operation fails, do not write the token.

Restrict admin import routes to browser sessions.
When imports are enabled, a valid MCP bearer token with only myopencre:read can pass login_required and reach the accept, discard, apply, and rerun handlers. These routes have no scope or session check, so the token can change persisted import state or apply changes.
Apply the existing identity.session_only guard in the shared import decorator. This preserves bearer access to the scoped resource routes.

Thanks Parth — I went through this against #1108, the v1 MCP boundary, and the REST auth model. The intended design is the right one: Google answers who you are, OpenCRE answers what you may do, REST stays the execution boundary, grants are session-managed, write is not auto-granted, and the allowlist still decides which tools exist.
I am not approving this version. The auth change is larger than the MCP surface, and a valid MCP token currently authenticates as a full logged-in user for every @login_required route.
Blocker
_is_logged_in() now returns True for any verified bearer identity. require_scopes is only on GET/PUT /rest/v1/user/resources. That means an MCP id_token for an existing user can call:
POST /rest/v1/completion(production LLM spend; #1108 deferred chat on purpose)/admin/imports/*mutations whenCRE_ALLOW_IMPORTis onGET /rest/v1/auth/user
Revoking mcp_grants does not close those doors. The token still resolves to a user, so login_required still passes.
Fix: keep the pre-#1003 predicate for login_required (browser session['user_id'] only). Admit bearer tokens only on the routes that also have require_scopes. Put session_only on every other @login_required view, including completion and admin imports. Bearer aud should only ever be GOOGLE_MCP_CLIENT_ID (MCP door). The web client id belongs on the cookie door, not on Authorization: Bearer.
Please add tests that fail today:
- MCP bearer +
POST /rest/v1/completion→ 403 - MCP bearer +
POST /admin/imports/runs/<id>/applywith imports enabled → 403 - MCP bearer with all grants revoked + resources → 403 and completion still 403
- Web-audience token as Bearer → rejected (not
CHANNEL_WEB/ALL_SCOPES)

Fine for this slice if documented, but call it out.
- Chat still deferred, which is a reasonable cut of #1108 if REST does not accidentally expose it via bearer.
CI is green, and the new unit tests pass for the model they cover. They do not cover the login_required widening, which is why this still needs another round.
Once the bearer door is narrowed to the two MyOpenCRE routes (plus tests), this is close.

Blocker. This is the merge-stopping change.
Pre-#1003, _is_logged_in() was "user_id" in session. Now any verified Google bearer (MCP or web audience) counts as logged in, and every @login_required view inherits that. require_scopes is only on the two /rest/v1/user/resources handlers.
Consequences for a normal user who has once logged in via the browser (so a users row exists) and then runs python -m application.mcp login:
POST /rest/v1/completionsucceeds with the MCP token. That is production LLM spend. MCP v2: authenticated tools (MyOpenCRE, chat) matching REST authz #1108 deferred chat on purpose; hiding it from the MCP allowlist is not enough if REST accepts the same token./admin/imports/runs/<id>/accept|discard|applysucceed wheneverCRE_ALLOW_IMPORTis on. No MCP scope is checked. Please also put@identity.session_onlyonadmin_imports_enabled_required(CodeRabbit’s finding is right).GET /rest/v1/auth/usersucceeds (and returns empty, because it still readssession['email']).- Revoking every
mcp_grantsrow does not close those doors. The token still resolves to a user, so this predicate stays true.
Please restore the session-only predicate here:
return "user_id" in sessionAdmit bearer tokens only on the views that also use identity.require_scopes. Put @identity.session_only on completion, admin imports, and /rest/v1/auth/user.
Tests that should exist and currently would fail:
- MCP bearer +
POST /rest/v1/completion→ 403 - MCP bearer + admin import apply (imports enabled) → 403
- MCP bearer, all grants revoked + resources → 403, completion still 403

This is the right check for MyOpenCRE reads — but it is also the only scope check on the whole login_required surface.
Because _is_logged_in() already accepted the bearer, a token that reaches this decorator with no myopencre:read grant is 403 here, then can still POST /rest/v1/completion on the next request. Scope checks have to be the admission control for bearer, not a filter applied after a global login flag.
Same note on the PUT handler below.

session_only here is correct and the tests for “token cannot widen grants” are good.
Two gaps on this new per-user route:
add_headerstill onlyno-stores/rest/v1/user/resources. This path getsCache-Control: max-age=300. Add/rest/v1/user/mcp_grantsto that list and assertno-storethe same way the resources tests do.- There is no browser UI, so “grant write from a browser session” is curl-with-cookie. Fine for this slice if
docs/api/mcp.mdsays so explicitly.

A bearer token whose aud is GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID is classified as CHANNEL_WEB and later receives ALL_SCOPES. That turns a web-audience ID token into a full-privilege API key.
Two doors only:
- Cookie /
session['user_id']→ web →ALL_SCOPES Authorization: Bearer→ MCP →mcp_grants, and only ifaud == GOOGLE_MCP_CLIENT_ID
Reject any other audience, including the web client id. verify_google_token(..., audience=None) is acceptable only because this map is the real audience check — so the map must not promote a web token to the web channel when it arrived as Bearer.
test_web_audience_token_is_the_web_channel currently encodes the wrong behavior; flip it to “web-audience bearer is nobody”.

The refresh token is written under the process umask, then chmod 0o600 is best-effort. If chmod fails, the credential stays in a possibly group/world-readable file and login still succeeds.
Create with the mode, then write:
fd = os.open(path, os.O_WRONLY | os.O_CREAT | os.O_TRUNC, 0o600)
with os.fdopen(fd, "w") as handle:
handle.write(json.dumps({...}))Apply the same rule when OPENCRE_MCP_TOKEN_FILE is set. If the mode cannot be applied, do not store the token.

served = active_tools() is correct, but SERVER_INSTRUCTIONS a few lines above is still the v1 text (“authenticated … tools are out of scope”). When the flag is on, clients will be told not to call tools that are listed. Derive the instructions from served (v1 vs v2, and whether a write tool is present).

make test is python -m unittest discover. This pytest autouse fixture never runs, so the NO_LOGIN / GOOGLE_MCP_* isolation you documented is not actually happening.
Either hook the same cleanup into the unittest setUp helpers, or drop this file so it does not look like a safety net. A stray NO_LOGIN=1 in a contributor .env would still make authorization tests pass without testing anything — application.feature_flags still load_dotenv() at import.

This is a second copy of device-flow auth that writes a live refresh token into scripts/.mcp_tokens.json with default umask and no chmod. Gitignore does not protect a shared checkout.
Please drop the script from this PR, or make it a thin wrapper around application.mcp.auth / token_store (which must itself create the file as 0600). A one-off local check does not need to live in scripts/.
