Two test layers covering the controller surface that the JVN PoC uses:
Java unit (Spring MockMvc):
RuleChainControllerTest#testScriptForbiddenForCustomer asserts a
customer JWT against POST /api/ruleChain/testScript returns 403,
locking in the existing @PreAuthorize('TENANT_ADMIN') guard.
Black-box (live docker-compose):
JsExecutorSandboxIsolationTest#testRuleChainScriptCannotReachHostProcess
posts the JVN exploit payload as a tenant admin and asserts the
response carries error='process is not defined'. End-to-end through
tb-node -> Kafka -> tb-js-executor with use_sandbox=true.
Registered the new org.thingsboard.server.msa.security package in
the connectivity TestNG suite so the black-box runner picks it up.
Added a thin TestRestClient.testRuleChainScript() helper.
Four test cases under describe('js-executor'):
- sandbox isolates args from host realm (JVN#16937365 — regression guard)
- sandbox passes string args through unchanged
- non-sandbox path does not isolate from host realm (documented contract)
- non-sandbox path passes string args through unchanged
Tests use Node's built-in node:test + node:assert (zero new devDependencies;
ts-node was already there). Two npm scripts:
test — spec output for local dev
test:ci — spec to stdout + Node's built-in junit reporter to
target/surefire-reports/TEST-js-executor.xml
Wired 'yarn test:ci' into the Maven 'test' phase via frontend-maven-plugin,
so 'mvn test -pl=msa/js-executor' produces JUnit XML that TeamCity's
Maven runner auto-discovers under the 'js-executor' suite name.
TEST_FAST.md picks up the same step.
tsconfig excludes test/ from the production pkg bundle.
The args array passed into the sandbox carried the host realm prototype
chain, so a script could reach the host Function constructor via
args.constructor.constructor and execute arbitrary code in the host
process (read files, run shell commands, dump env vars).
Construct args inside the sandbox context using vm.runInContext('[]'),
then populate with string primitives. The resulting array's prototype
chain belongs to the sandbox realm, so constructor traversal cannot
escape. Strings are primitives and safe to cross the realm boundary.
Affects use_sandbox=true path only. The use_sandbox=false path
(invokeFunction) is intentionally left as-is and explicitly marked as
dangerous-by-design — it compiles and runs user-supplied scripts in
the host realm via vm.compileFunction (parsingContext only isolates
parsing, not execution). It remains as a documented performance
trade-off for trusted, non-public clusters; a startup WARN is logged
when script.use_sandbox=false, and an operator-facing yaml comment
sits next to the setting in config/default.yml.

--no-bytecode is only required for the Windows target; running pkg as a
single multi-target invocation applied it to Linux too, dropping V8
bytecode from the Linux exe. Split into two pkg invocations so Linux
keeps bytecode and only the Windows build relaxes it.
Under `mvn -T<n>` with the three yarn-using modules (ui-ngx,
msa/web-ui, msa/js-executor), concurrent yarn 1.x processes contend
on the shared `~/.cache/yarn`. The `--mutex network` flag was applied
only to `yarn install`, so `yarn run pkg` could overlap with another
module's install. Intermittent failures observed on CI:
`/bin/sh: 1: tsc: not found` during `yarn run pkg`, caused by
incomplete typescript extraction into per-module node_modules.
Fix at two layers:
1. Maven reactor chain (primary): add reactor-only pom <dependency>
entries (type=pom, scope=provided, wildcard exclusions) to form
ui-ngx -> msa/web-ui -> msa/js-executor
so the MultiThreadedBuilder schedules them strictly serial,
regardless of -T thread count. msa/web-ui already had a real
dependency on ui-ngx; only one new fake link was needed.
2. Yarn-level mutex (defense in depth): add `--mutex network` to
`yarn run pkg` (msa/web-ui, msa/js-executor) and
`yarn run build:prod` (ui-ngx), so single-module builds outside the
reactor chain (`mvn -pl msa/<module>`) still serialize against any
other yarn process on the agent.
Comment in msa/pom.xml updated: the previous "Modules order is
important..." note was misleading - module order in the reactor does
not enforce serialization under -T; the dependency edges do.
The base image thingsboard/openjdk17:bookworm-slim ships a customized
/etc/java-17-openjdk/security/java.security. When apt-get install pulls
in a newer openjdk-17-jre-headless to satisfy cassandra's java11-runtime
dependency, dpkg blocks on a non-interactive conffile prompt and the
build fails. The ensuing "cassandra depends on java11-runtime" error is
just the cascade from openjdk-17-jre-headless never finishing configure.
Pass --force-confdef --force-confold so dpkg silently keeps the base
image's customized conffile and the upgrade completes.
Remove <pkg.skip.bootjar>false</pkg.skip.bootjar> from all child
module <properties> blocks. The root POM already defaults it to false,
and child declarations block the skip-pkg profile override, so
-Dpkg.skip=true was never actually skipping spring-boot:repackage.
Also remove the unused surefire.version property (superseded by
maven-surefire-plugin.version).
The docker-info artifact type was produced by the removed
dockerfile-maven-plugin. Replace with pom type since the
upstream docker modules use pom packaging. This preserves
the reactor ordering dependency.
The com.spotify:dockerfile-maven-plugin:1.4.13 is deprecated and broken
on modern macOS (Apple Silicon) due to its Java HTTP client being
incompatible with current Docker Desktop socket/API.
Replace the Java-based plugin with exec-maven-plugin calling the docker
CLI directly — the same approach already used by the multiarch push
profiles (push-docker-amd-arm-images).
All existing Maven property contracts preserved:
- dockerfile.skip (default true) controls docker build
- push-docker-image profile for single-arch push
- push-docker-amd-arm-images profiles unchanged (already use exec)
