Josh HawkinsandGitHub 6ba3198232 Revoke stale sessions in /auth (#24713)
* take the jwt role from the user and revoke stale sessions

/auth trusted the role claim in the token, and only checked password_changed_at when refreshing a cookie. Demoting or deleting a user, changing a password, or resetting the admin password left existing cookies and bearer tokens working with their old role. The API now keeps each user's role and password change time in memory, loads it at startup, and updates it from the user endpoints. /auth rejects unknown users and tokens issued before the last password change, and authorizes with the stored role without touching the database. Resetting the admin password now sets password_changed_at.

* set the secure cookie flag when the request arrived over tls

The session cookie only got the Secure flag from auth.cookie_secure, which defaults to false even though TLS is on by default, so browsers would send it over plain HTTP. The cookie is now Secure whenever nginx reports an https scheme, and nginx passes that scheme to the /auth subrequest so refreshed cookies match. cookie_secure still forces the flag for a reverse proxy that terminates TLS in front of plain-HTTP Frigate.

* regenerate config schema mock data

* revoke tokens issued in the same second as a password change

/auth compared the token's whole-second iat against the truncated change time, so a token issued earlier in the same second as a password change stayed valid. The change time is now rounded up, and the cookie reissued to a user who changes their own password carries that rounded-up iat so it still passes.

* note that a proxy on the tls port must serve https to browsers

* reject users whose role was removed from the config

A user whose role was removed from the config fell back to viewer, which has no camera restrictions, so a restricted role removed from yaml gained access to every camera. /auth now rejects that user's tokens, and login refuses them until an admin assigns a valid role.

* floor password change time to match iat

The password change time was rounded up while the token iat was rounded down, so a login in the same second as a password change got a token that /auth rejected as revoked. Both are floored now, which leaves a sub-second window where a token issued just before the change stays valid.

* set password_changed_at on user creation

A recreated username had no password change cutoff, so an unexpired token from the deleted account passed /auth with the new account's role. Creating a user now sets the cutoff to the creation time.

Frigate NVR™ - Realtime Object Detection for IP Cameras

License: MIT

Translation status

[English] | 简体中文

A complete and local NVR designed for Home Assistant with AI object detection. Uses OpenCV and Tensorflow to perform realtime object detection locally for IP cameras.

Use of a GPU or AI accelerator is highly recommended. AI accelerators will outperform even the best CPUs with very little overhead. See Frigate's supported object detectors.

  • Tight integration with Home Assistant via a custom component
  • Designed to minimize resource use and maximize performance by only looking for objects when and where it is necessary
  • Leverages multiprocessing heavily with an emphasis on realtime over processing every frame
  • Uses a very low overhead motion detection to determine where to run object detection
  • Object detection with TensorFlow runs in separate processes for maximum FPS
  • Communicates over MQTT for easy integration into other systems
  • Records video with retention settings based on detected objects
  • 24/7 recording
  • Re-streaming via RTSP to reduce the number of connections to your camera
  • WebRTC & MSE support for low-latency live view
