CreateLease checks shared_with against MaxSharedWithEntries before deduplicating it. A request can be rejected even when its distinct clients fit within the limit. Deduplicate first, then enforce the limit.

CreateLease deduplicated the shared_with list only after checking it against
MaxSharedWithEntries, so a request with duplicate entries could be rejected even
though its distinct set fit under the limit. Dedup first, then enforce the limit.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

CreateLease now applies the maximum shared-entry limit after deduplicating names. Tests verify that repeated names count once and that more than 10 unique names remain invalid.

CreateLease checks MaxSharedWithEntries against deduplicated names. Tests verify that 12 repeated names are accepted and that 11 unique names are rejected with InvalidArgument.

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 3893e

Oversized shared-client requests can cause unnecessary controller lookups before rejection. This is a bounded merge risk; reject once the distinct-name limit is reached.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 3893e

Authenticated clients can now cause more shared-client lookups before an over-limit lease request is rejected, potentially increasing controller and Kubernetes API load. Lease ownership and the limit on stored distinct recipients remain in place.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · observed: Over-limit requests can drive one Kubernetes client lookup per distinct, existing shared name before the service rejects them.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The increased work is available to authenticated clients in their own namespace and affects controller processing and Kubernetes client reads. Its maximum depends on existing client names and unverified transport and deployment limits.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — An authenticated caller can submit more than ten distinct, existing shared-client names and induce lookups before rejection; the base implementation rejected the same raw-length request first. A missing name stops the sequence, and repeated names do not produce repeated lookups.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Caller authentication and namespace equality are checked before shared-client reads; self-sharing is rejected, and successful persistence remains limited to ten distinct recipients.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — The schema's ten-item maximum protects persisted lease contents but cannot bound reads performed before creation. Repository server configuration examined does not establish a per-client request-rate or receive-size control; external controls remain unknown.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Reject once an eleventh distinct name is identified, before its lookup, while continuing to permit requests whose repeated names collapse within the limit.

Twelve repeats pass the gate,
Eleven unique names must wait.

Stop processing when the distinct-name limit is exceeded.

An authenticated caller can provide more than 10 distinct existing client names in its namespace. CreateLease calls the embedded controller-runtime Client.Get method for each distinct name, then checks len(deduped). This makes invalid-request work scale with every supplied existing name instead of stopping at the limit.

The API contract defines shared_with as a set with a maximum of 10 entries. Reject the 11th distinct name before calling s.Get, while continuing to skip duplicates.
