feat(event-ledger): authorize NVCA writes via SIS PSAT introspection - #1960
shelleyshen-0 wants to merge 8 commits into
Conversation
NVCA authenticates to Event Ledger with a Kubernetes projected service-account token (PSAT), not an OpenBao-issued JWT, so it was rejected by the existing OpenBao-only verification path. Add an internal/nvca introspection client (mirrors ReVal's SIS/ICMS introspection authorizer) and wire it into the auth middleware: a JWT-shaped bearer token is verified locally against OpenBao first, and only on failure is it retried against SIS's NVCA introspection endpoint. A verified NVCA identity is trusted only on the write routes it was scoped for, never as a stand-in for an arbitrary read scope. The SIS-resolved clusterId is treated as authoritative over whatever cluster_id a request payload claims, rejecting a mismatch or filling in a missing value before the event context is built. Auth.Introspection is a new, separate runtime config from stack-level deployment gating: enabling it without a URL fails startup rather than silently accepting unverified NVCA callers.

newJWTWithPSATMiddleware still verifies an OpenBao JWT first; it only falls back to SIS for a PSAT. Name it after the token type it accepts, not the one caller (NVCA) that currently sends one. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

preserving the existing ReVal ICMSIntrospect client path.

introspection request to read through io.LimitReader with a small configured
maximum size, then detect and reject responses that exceed that limit while
preserving the existing error handling for valid responses.
- Line 169: Instrument the outbound request in the introspection flow around
httpClient.Do with an outbound tracing span and SIS-specific RED metrics for
request count, duration, and errors. Use bounded, fixed metric labels derived
from the request outcome rather than dynamic URL or error values, and preserve
the existing cancellation and response/error handling behavior.
- Around line 151-152: Update the result-caching condition in the introspection
flow to require a non-empty result.ClusterID in addition to result.Active and
IsValidNVCASubject(result.Sub), so only identities meeting the complete
authorization contract are passed to cacheStore.
- Around line 245-251: Add a fixed maxCacheEntries bound to the Client cache and
update the insertion logic around cacheMu so a new key at capacity evicts one
existing entry before assignment; remove the full expiry scan while preserving
expiry validation in cacheLookup. Add focused tests covering the entry limit and
eviction behavior.

Wrap the nvca.Client's HTTP transport with otelhttp, matching the shared-client pattern already used for JWKS fetching, so the SIS introspection call gets a span and OpenTelemetry's standard HTTP client metrics instead of running uninstrumented.

Don't cache an active, subject-valid SIS response that's missing ClusterID: it's a failure outcome (the middleware 403s it same as an inactive token), so caching it same as a success would pin that 403 for the full TTL even after SIS starts returning a complete response. Bound the introspection cache at a fixed entry count with O(1) random eviction on overflow, instead of an unbounded map scanned for expired entries on every write while holding the lock. Add cluster-binding test coverage for extractCloudEvent mirroring the existing extractK8sEvent coverage, since bindNVCAClusterID is wired into both.

TL;DR
NVCA's otel collector authenticates to Event Ledger with a Kubernetes projected service-account token (PSAT), not an OpenBao-issued JWT, so it was rejected by the existing OpenBao-only verification path. This adds SIS token introspection as a fallback auth path for PSATs, with cluster-identity binding so a PSAT valid for one cluster can't write events attributed to another.
Additional Details
