Summary

  • MIRU-WEB-5Q: the reports/pdf/ip rack-attack throttle parsed req.params for every request, so an empty multipart POST / crashed with Rack::Multipart::EmptyContentError; it now checks method and path first and reads only the query string, and EncodingSanitizer returns 400 for the whole Rack::Multipart error family
  • MIRU-WEB-58: forgery_protection_strategy was nil on ActionController::Base, so unverified non-GET requests raised NoMethodError instead of InvalidAuthenticityToken (579 events); ApplicationController now declares protect_from_forgery with: :exception
  • MIRU-WEB-5N: unknown bill_status/review_status values now fail validation (422) instead of raising ArgumentError
  • MIRU-WEB-5R: DatabaseBackupJob retries S3 service and networking errors with backoff; the upload closes its file handles

The other nine unresolved Miru issues were already fixed on develop or came from the stale miru-production.fly.dev deployment and have been resolved in Sentry.

Verification

  • each fix has a reproduction spec that failed before the change: spec/requests/rack_attack_multipart_spec.rb, spec/requests/forgery_protection_spec.rb, spec/models/timesheet_entry_spec.rb, spec/requests/api/v1/cli/timesheet_entries/create_spec.rb, spec/jobs/database_backup_job_spec.rb, spec/middleware/encoding_sanitizer_spec.rb
  • bundle exec rspec over the touched suites plus spec/requests/api/v1/users/, spec/requests/users/, spec/requests/webhooks/, spec/requests/home/, spec/requests/rack_attack_spec.rb: 283 examples, 0 failures
  • bundle exec rubocop on the 12 changed files: no offenses

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Security

    • Added request forgery protection to reject unverified form submissions.
    • Improved handling of malformed multipart requests with clear “Bad Request” responses.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Invalid timesheet statuses now produce validation errors and an HTTP 422 response instead of raising exceptions.
    • Improved reliability for PDF download throttling.
    • Database backups now retry temporary storage and network failures and handle uploads more reliably.

Four unresolved Sentry issues were still live on develop:

- MIRU-WEB-5Q: a multipart POST with an empty body crashed with
  Rack::Multipart::EmptyContentError because the reports/pdf throttle in
  rack_attack.rb read req.params for every request before checking the
  method and path. The throttle now returns early and reads the query string
  only, and EncodingSanitizer answers 400 for the whole Rack::Multipart error
  family instead of just BoundaryTooLongError.
- MIRU-WEB-58: ActionController::Base.forgery_protection_strategy was nil in
  this app despite load_defaults 8.0, so every unverified non-GET request to
  an ApplicationController descendant raised NoMethodError on
  `forgery_protection_strategy.new` (579 events, mostly scanners posting to
  the SPA catch-all). ApplicationController now declares
  protect_from_forgery with: :exception, which Rails maps to 422 and Sentry
  ignores.
- MIRU-WEB-5N: an unknown bill_status from the CLI API raised ArgumentError.
  Both TimesheetEntry enums validate instead, so the API returns 422.
- MIRU-WEB-5R: DatabaseBackupJob failed outright on a transient R2
  InternalError. It now retries S3 service and networking errors with
  polynomial backoff, and the upload closes its file handles.

Each fix carries a spec that failed before the change.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The changes enable CSRF protection, expand multipart error handling, adjust reports PDF throttling, refine database backup retries and uploads, and validate timesheet status values.

Changes

Request protection and multipart handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
CSRF protection enforcement
app/controllers/application_controller.rb, spec/requests/forgery_protection_spec.rb
Controllers reject unverified forgery tokens. The request spec covers the user confirmation endpoint.
Multipart error handling and throttling
config/initializers/encoding_sanitizer.rb, config/initializers/rack_attack.rb, spec/middleware/encoding_sanitizer_spec.rb, spec/requests/rack_attack_multipart_spec.rb
Multipart parsing errors return controlled bad-request responses. The reports PDF throttle validates the route before reading the format through req.GET. Request specs cover empty multipart input and malformed request bodies.

Database backup reliability

Layer / File(s) Summary
Backup retry and upload handling
app/jobs/database_backup_job.rb, app/services/database_backup_service.rb, spec/jobs/database_backup_job_spec.rb
Backup jobs retry selected transient AWS and networking errors. Archive and latest-object uploads use separate file handles. The job spec covers S3 retry behavior.

Timesheet status validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Timesheet status validation
app/models/timesheet_entry.rb, spec/models/timesheet_entry_spec.rb, spec/requests/api/v1/cli/timesheet_entries/create_spec.rb
The bill_status and review_status enums validate assigned values. Model and request specs cover invalid bill status input.

Priority: ⬆️ High

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 94170

The changes improve malformed-request handling and timesheet status validation, but coverage concerns remain for the report-download throttle and invalid review-status assignment. These are bounded regression risks that should be addressed or explicitly accepted before merge.

Cover invalid review_status as well.

The model change at Line 15 changes review_status assignment behavior, but this example covers only bill_status. Add a test that assigns an unknown review status, verifies assignment does not raise, and asserts errors[:review_status] is present after validation.

Send the multipart request to the throttled report route.

This request uses /, so it never reaches reports/pdf/ip in config/initializers/rack_attack.rb. The example can pass if that throttle again parses multipart parameters. Use a multipart POST to /api/v1/reports/:report/download and keep the assertion that the response is not a server error.

Review follow-ups: Aws::S3::Errors::ServiceError also covers permanent
errors such as AccessDenied and NoSuchBucket, which are not worth five
attempts, so the backup job now retries InternalError, ServiceUnavailable,
SlowDown, RequestTimeout and networking errors only. The multipart spec also
calls the reports/pdf throttle block with a malformed multipart request, so
a future change that parses the body inside the block fails the spec
regardless of routing.
