🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy liftDo not activate the first organization for a multi-organization user.
When the session has no usable organization and the user has multiple memberships,
preferredOrgIdfalls back toorganizations[0]. This call persists that arbitrary organization as active. Subsequent organization-scoped requests can target an organization that the user did not select.Auto-activate only when exactly one organization exists. Otherwise, require an explicit organization selection.
Based on learnings: never infer the active tenant from the first membership record when multiple memberships exist.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
When a tenant-controlled attachment or rendering server closes its connection after sending response headers, the response stream emits an error. This code handles only data and end, and the request-level error handler does not handle response-stream failures. The error can therefore go unhandled and terminate the mail or template service instead of rejecting requestPinned. Add a response-stream error handler that settles the promise through the existing network-error path.
How this was verified: Attacker-controlled attachment and rendering URLs reach this response stream, which registers only data and end handlers while the request-level error handler does not handle response-stream failures.

Handle response-stream failures in requestPinned.
requestPinned handles errors from req, but not from res. If a server resets the response after headers, IncomingMessage can emit an unhandled error, or the promise can remain unsettled until timeout. This can crash the service or exhaust request capacity.
Add error and aborted handlers on res, and guard settlement so each request resolves or rejects only once. Reject incomplete responses instead of returning a successful status with a partial bodyBuffer. Existing callers consume bodyBuffer as complete response data. Add regression coverage for a response that resets after headers.

Fixes for the findings from a full security audit of the codebase (backend services, shared packages, frontends, KumoMTA policy, installer). Ten confirmed issues plus one debug endpoint. Every fix was verified by unit tests and, where it mattered, by attacking a running service.
Tenant isolation
Any signed-in user could become a member of any organization.
user.activeOrganizationIdwas a better-auth field withinput: true, soPOST /api/auth/v1/update-usercould set it to a foreign org; session resolution then fell back to that value and every org-scoped query trusted it. Fix: the field isinput: false, the middleware no longer falls back to the user field, the session-create hook checks themembertable before copying the preference, and/organization/set-activepersists the org server-side after better-auth's own membership check. The dashboard's fourupdateUser({ activeOrganizationId })calls now rely onsetActive.Verified live against the auth service:
update-userwith a foreign org returnsFIELD_NOT_ALLOWED,set-activereturnsUSER_IS_NOT_A_MEMBER_OF_THE_ORGANIZATION, and a foreign org planted directly in the user row is ignored on a fresh sign-in. A member'sset-activestill persists and is restored on sign-in.Webhook trigger and sign-test-event honoured a body
organizationId/userIdover the authenticated one, letting any tenant deliver correctly signed forged events to another tenant's endpoints. The overrides and schema fields are gone (docs regenerated). Verified live: a trigger withorganizationId: <other org>lands in the caller's org.Server-side request forgery and file read
attachments[].pathwas passed toexistsSync/readFilebefore any check, so a tenant could mail themselves/proc/self/environ(which holdsRELOOP_INTERNAL_SECRET). The filesystem branch is removed;pathresolves only through the upload store or a public URL. Public URLs are now DNS-resolved and checked against private, loopback, link-local, CGNAT and ULA ranges, and redirects are not followed.<iframe src="http://nats:8222/varz">read internal services. Every request from the renderer is now aborted unless it isdata:/about:/blob:or resolves to a public address. Verified with real Chromium: a page pointing at a loopback server rendered and the server received zero requests.redirect: "manual", and generic error strings.Open redirect on customer tracking domains
Click-tracking-disabled links were wrapped in an unsigned
{url}token, and both the mail click controller and the links app honoured any unsigned token, solink.<customer>.com/redirect/<base64 json>was an unauthenticated open redirect. All redirect-only links now get a signed token with anntflag (TypeScript and Lua emit and verify the same signature), the unsigned branches are deleted, and the links app returns to/when the mail service is unreachable. Verified: forged tokens go to/, valid ones still reach their destination, and a token minted by the Lua policy verifies in TypeScript.Other
From: service@paypal.comDKIM-signed with their own domain. The policy now rejects with 550 when the From header domain differs from the envelope domain.

Both paths now use the existing DOMPurify sanitizer and escape subject and sender./api/workflow/jobswas published by Caddy and only had basic auth whenWORKBENCH_USER/WORKBENCH_PASSwere set, which the installer never did. It now refuses to mount outside development without credentials, the installer generates them, and both Caddy templates return 404 for the path.
