Security Plugin cannot startup due to AccessControlException: access denied #3317

reta · 2023-09-05T16:47:27Z

Description

Fixing AccessControlException after opensearch-project/OpenSearch#9289, we have 2 options here:

since the bcprov moved to core, it will be loaded by core, the plugin should not try to enforce it
plugin may try to enforce it but the core security policy should be extended to allow that

grant codeBase "${codebase.bcprov-jdk15to18}" {
  permission java.security.SecurityPermission "putProviderProperty.BC";
  permission java.security.SecurityPermission "insertProvider.BC";
  permission java.security.SecurityPermission "removeProviderProperty.BC";
};

@reta we had more settings:

  permission java.security.SecurityPermission "putProviderProperty.BC";
  permission java.security.SecurityPermission "insertProvider.BC";
  permission java.security.SecurityPermission "removeProviderProperty.BC";
  permission java.util.PropertyPermission "*", "write";

add @cwperks aded this fix: #3289. So all of them need to be added to the the SDK now? If yes this is a partial fix :-(

reta · 2023-09-05T16:59:33Z

permission java.util.PropertyPermission "*", "write";

It seems like this one have to go to core :( I am still looking hence this pull request is in draft state

ehhh "read,write" :-(

willyborankin · 2023-09-05T17:09:14Z

@peternied, @cwperks and @reta I think this solution is ok for 2.10 but is not good in the future. Core should not provide such permissions, more important all plugin could add additional permissions.

willyborankin · 2023-09-05T17:10:44Z

@reta im wrong we have such login in the policy.

grant codeBase "${codebase.netty-common}" {
  permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "loadLibrary.*";
};

@peternied @cwperks any reasons we need to explicitly add BouncyCastleProvider?

Ahhh it is historical. It was added this way.

From the javadoc for java.security.Security it is safe to call addProvider multiple times: https://docs.oracle.com/javase%2F7%2Fdocs%2Fapi%2F%2F/java/security/Security.html#addProvider(java.security.Provider)

the preference position in which the provider was added, or -1 if the provider was not added because it is already installed.

@willyborankin the ${codebase} placeholder is resolved relatively to plugin: /..../plugins/opensearch-security, there is no way to point to $OPENSEARCH/lib from there

@willyborankin you are right that the permissions added in that PR would also need to be added to core since the dependency is now coming from core. I have a PR in core to add the existing bouncy castle permissions that the security plugin has into core opensearch-project/OpenSearch#9770 (Option 2 from this PR's description)

I am trying to figure out now the reasons why the security plugin calls on Security.addProvider, but from my own understanding bouncycastle is used to setup TLS (reading certs and keys) and is used for its implementation of BCrypt

We definitely need to add the BC provider, but since it is in core now, it should be done by core, that would also solve any issues with other plugins trying to add/remove BC.

@cwperks The problem is not how many times, the problem is who adds it first because that would impact the security policy to be taken into account (related to #3213 (comment)), and again - you need to grant the permissions to the plugin

If you set any security provider this way it means that in the list of sec providers JDK knows about it is in the first place.So you lets say can create a cipher this way:

Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("DESede/CBC/NoPadding");

otherwise you need add a provider name:

Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("DESede/CBC/NoPadding", BouncyCastleProvider.PROVIDER_NAME)

We can change it but it is not so fast as you could think.
