Brings the playground up to the 0.10.0 gateway and showcases its headline features.

Version

  • Pin images to 0.10.0 (.env.example, compose defaults).

WAF demo → 0.10.0 features

  • audit: on — a structured waf.audit record per inspected transaction (matches, scores, verdict, request id). See it with podman logs playground_barbacane_1 | grep waf.audit.
  • New /waf/leak endpoint + response-phase rules (030-response.conf scoring, 040-response-blocking.conf outbound blocking, mirroring CRS 959100): the upstream returns a body carrying an AWS access key id, and a phase-4 rule blocks the response (403) before it reaches the client.
  • Dropped the stale "@detectSQLi/@detectXSS not yet implemented" narrative; those classifiers have shipped since 0.9.0.

Fix: metrics scraping was broken

0.10.0 serves metrics on the admin API port, not /__barbacane/metrics on the data plane. Prometheus was scraping barbacane:8080/__barbacane/metrics, which 404s, so Grafana had no gateway data. Now the admin API is exposed on 8082 (--admin-bind 0.0.0.0:8082), Prometheus scrapes barbacane:8082/metrics, and the docs point at localhost:8082/metrics.

Verified locally

Full podman stack on 0.10.0:

  • 14/14 endpoint smoke checks green (core, auth, WAF request-phase, WAF response-phase leak, admin health + metrics).
  • /waf/leak blocks with outbound rule 9009120; audit records emit for blocked and allowed transactions.
  • Prometheus barbacane target is up (barbacane:8082/metrics).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added outbound response inspection to detect leaked AWS credentials and block affected responses with HTTP 403.
    • Added a WAF demonstration endpoint for testing response-body leak detection.
    • Added WAF audit logging for inspected transactions.
  • Improvements

    • Updated the playground to Barbacane 0.10.0.
    • Moved metrics access to the admin API at port 8082, with updated monitoring configuration and examples.
    • Expanded WAF documentation to cover path traversal, outbound leak detection, and audit behavior.

- Pin images to 0.10.0 (.env.example, compose defaults).
- WAF demo: showcase 0.10.0's response-phase inspection and audit logging.
  - audit: on writes a structured waf.audit record per transaction.
  - New /waf/leak endpoint + phase-4 rules (030/040) block a response body
    that leaks an AWS access key id (outbound anomaly scoring, mirrors CRS
    959100).
  - Drop the stale "@detectSQLi/@detectXSS not yet implemented" narrative;
    those classifiers have shipped since 0.9.0.
- Fix metrics scraping: 0.10.0 serves metrics on the admin API port, not
  /__barbacane/metrics on the data plane. Expose the admin API on 8082
  (--admin-bind 0.0.0.0:8082), point Prometheus at barbacane:8082/metrics, and
  update the docs. Prometheus was scraping a 404, so Grafana had no gateway data.

Verified locally on the full podman stack: 14/14 endpoint smoke checks green,
the response-phase leak blocks with rule 9009120, audit records emit, and the
Prometheus barbacane target is up.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The playground upgrades Barbacane images to 0.10.0, moves metrics to the admin API on port 8082, and adds a response-phase WAF rule that blocks responses containing AWS access key IDs.

Changes

Playground runtime and WAF flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Runtime upgrade and admin metrics
.env.example, docker-compose.yml, configs/prometheus/prometheus.yml, README.md, playground.http
Runtime images use version 0.10.0. The gateway exposes admin metrics on port 8082, and metrics references use /metrics.
Outbound WAF enforcement
specs/waf-demo.yaml, specs/waf-rules/*
The demo adds /waf/leak. A phase-4 rule detects AWS access key IDs in response bodies and adds outbound anomaly score. A second rule returns HTTP 403 at the configured threshold.
WAF documentation and request examples
README.md, playground.http
Documentation and HTTP examples describe outbound leak detection, waf.audit logging, and the new leak request.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 37fbd

The playground remains usable, but its admin data may be exposed on reachable hosts and its leak demo misses temporary AWS credentials. Both fixes are small and advisable before merge.

Thanks @coderabbitai. Both addressed in 4b573b4:

  1. Admin API host binding — the admin port publish is now 127.0.0.1:8082:8082, so the unauthenticated /metrics, /health, /provenance endpoints are reachable only from the host's loopback. Prometheus is unaffected: it scrapes barbacane:8082 over the Docker network via the container port, not the host publish.

  2. AWS key regex — the response-body rule now matches (?:AKIA|ASIA)[0-9A-Z]{16}, covering temporary/STS ASIA keys as well as long-term AKIA keys. Verified the demo payload AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE still matches (still blocks with 403) and a sample ASIA key matches, while non-keys do not.

Both are provably-correct one-line changes that don't alter the verified behaviour (loopback binding doesn't change Prometheus reachability; the regex still matches the demo payload), so I did not respin the full stack for them.

Tip

For best results, initiate chat on the files or code changes.

@ndreno Thanks for the detailed confirmation. The loopback publish protects the unauthenticated admin API without changing Prometheus container-network access. The updated regex covers both long-term and STS AWS access key IDs while retaining the demo match.

Learning: In `docker-compose.yml`, publish the Barbacane admin API as `127.0.0.1:8082:8082` when the unauthenticated `/metrics`, `/health`, and `/provenance` endpoints must remain host-local. Prometheus can still scrape `barbacane:8082` through the Docker network.

Timestamp: 2026-09-14T07:28:48.199Z
Learning: In `specs/waf-rules/030-response.conf`, the response-phase AWS access-key detector must match both long-term `AKIA` keys and temporary STS `ASIA` keys with `(?:AKIA|ASIA)[0-9A-Z]{16}`.

- scripts/smoke.sh: exercises every demonstrated use case against a running
  stack (core, OIDC bookings, events->NATS, S3, MCP, CORS, WAF request- and
  response-phase, admin metrics, Prometheus scrape) and exits non-zero on any
  failure. Reusable locally.
- .github/workflows/ci.yml:
  - compile: the specs must compile with the pinned gateway build.
  - smoke: brings up the gateway, its upstreams and Prometheus (not the
    Grafana/Loki/Tempo/Alloy viewers) and runs scripts/smoke.sh; dumps logs on
    failure.
  - Runs on PR and push; a nightly schedule runs against `latest` to catch
    upstream gateway drift; workflow_dispatch takes an image tag.

Verified locally end to end: 23/23 checks green.
… volume

Under Docker the artifact volume is root-owned and the image's non-root user
cannot write it (compilation fails with Permission denied). Podman's rootless
userns mapping hid this locally. Run the one-shot compiler as root; the gateway
still reads the artifact read-only as its non-root user.
- smoke.sh: rustfs-init seeds the assets bucket after the gateway is already
  serving, so the /assets/welcome.txt check could race the seeder (404 in CI).
  Wait for the asset to be available as part of readiness.
- Bump actions/checkout v4 -> v5 (v4 runs on the deprecated Node 20).
