API key pair restructure follow-ups

[bernardodemarco]

Description

A workflow introduced in the API key pair restructure tries to retrieve the accessing API key contained in HTTP requests by looking up for the apiKey string in a case-sensitive way. However, when verifying a request, the Management Server also accepts the API key to be specified in lowercase (apikey). The same behavior happens for the signature parameter.

Thus, if the API key is specified as apikey in HTTP requests, the key pair validation workflow does not identify the key used for authentication and it assumes that they are established via session. This behavior can leak key pairs with broader permission sets than the accessing pair actually has. These leaks can only happen for pairs belonging to the same user; one user from one account is not able to access keys from another user of another account.

Another incorrect behavior was found out, which allows for an accessing API key with a limited permission scope to register other pairs with all the permissions of the corresponding user's account. This is possible when no explicit permissions are defined and, under these circumstances, the registration workflow assumes the authentication was performed with an accessing pair without any explicit permissions as well.

This PR fixes all these reported issues.

How Has This Been Tested?

• I created an API key pair with the following permissions. This pair was used for the execution of all described test cases, except when informed otherwise:

  API key pair permissions

    "permissions": [
      {
        "permission": "allow",
        "rule": "listUserKey*"
      },
      {
        "permission": "allow",
        "rule": "listApis"
      },
      {
        "permission": "allow",
        "rule": "registerUserKeys"
      },
      {
        "permission": "allow",
        "rule": "getUserKeys"
      }
    ]

Leak of key pairs belonging to the same user

• I executed the listUserKeys API with the key pair created in the previous step
  • I verified that its return did not include other API key pairs with larger permission sets
• I executed the getUserKeys API
  • I verified that its return did not include other API key pairs with larger permission sets

Registration of key pairs with a broader permission scope

• I executed the registerUserKeys API without specifying explicit rules
  • I verified that the new key pair permission set was equal to the set of the key pair used to perform the request
• I executed the registerUserKeys API specifying a rule set belonging to the set of the key pair used to perform the request
  • I verified that the new key pair was successfully registered
• I executed the registerUserKeys API specifying rules which the accessing key pair does not have access to
  • I verified the the command execution was not successful
