fix(mysterium): flag nodes whose router rewrites UDP ports instead of showing them healthy - #59
… showing them healthy
A router that rewrites the source port of some outgoing UDP flows (a fibre
box that reserves ports in pairs, a SIP ALG) leaves a Mysterium node online,
passing its own port check and logging "Method:manual Success:true", while
every session ends after about a minute having carried nothing.
The worker now asks the node itself, read-only, for Mysterium's monitoring
status and its last five sessions (docker.health_probe), and the 30-minute
sweep lists the node under Needs fixing when monitoring reads "failed" or
those sessions are all a minute long and empty. The guide explains the
failure, ships a two-port STUN test, and lists the fixes in order of risk.
…l broken
- Read the five newest provided sessions of any age: a 14-day window empties
out once discovery stops offering the node, and the check cleared itself.
- Run the two reads independently, so a slow monitoring status (it asks the
remote quality oracle) never costs the local sessions read.
- Bound the probe with timeout 12 (required by the schema now), so a hung
docker exec cannot hold a pool thread for good.
- Drop a verdict after 24 h of unread probes; a node the worker keeps
reporting as unreadable gets a hint saying so instead.
- Monitoring-failed hint sends to the /dev/net/tun and SETUID check first.
- STUN script tells a pairing router apart from a NAT that rewrites every
port (symmetric NAT, CGNAT, VPN, Docker Desktop); the guide says to run it
on Linux Docker Engine.
- Guide and UDP_PORTS help: a narrow range fails on pairing routers; fix list
ordered as we would try them with each cost; range capped at 1,000 ports
below 32768; CashPilot always pins --udp.ports.
…e node can be read
A stalled Docker exec stream no longer holds a probe pool thread: the probe
runs on its own client with a socket timeout, and timed-out queued work is
cancelled. The worker answers within a batch budget and returns the copies it
read in time. The UI handles a failed log read and the probe separately,
ignores hits from another catalog version (a definition fingerprint), and keeps
the last verdict per check, so a failed sessions read no longer drops a
monitoring status of "failed".
The node now judges the five sessions that completed last, not the five that
started last, and its loopback reads skip any inherited proxy. The two-port
STUN test reports a network error as no answer, falls back to the next STUN
server, and exits 3 when a pair could not be tested in full. The guide shows
how to tell the host's own NAT from the router.
…end a stalled exec stream
The shipped socket proxy only runs exec commands the policy lists, and the
policy never listed docker.health_probe, so every probe read would have been
refused and the node shown as unreadable. The policy now takes the probe
command from the catalog like the other node reads, and the compose files
carry the regenerated policy.
docker-py's exec reader waits on the socket with no timeout, so a client
socket timeout never bounded the stream. The probe now reads the raw exec
socket itself against a deadline, closes the connection when it gives up,
and never queues a read behind busy threads.
The sessions read widens from 25 to 100, so a long session that ended last
is almost never missed.
…the socket proxy refuses them
Listing the copies now runs on the probe's own short-timeout client and
within the batch budget, so a stalled listing cannot outlast the UI's wait.
The next call starts with the first copy the last one did not reach, so a
slow copy cannot keep the later ones unread. A read the socket proxy refuses
says so, and names the update when the proxy's policy is older than the
worker, instead of sending the operator to the node's logs. The policy also
picks up probes in .yaml catalog files, which the catalog loads too.
The two-port test rejects ports outside 1 to 65535 with its own exit status
instead of reading them as a rewrite, and no longer claims a forward cannot
work when it only measured ports with no forward.
…es the port's mapping
Measured on an affected node: a wider UDP_PORTS range does not help (1,000
ports rewrote none at idle, the narrow range only a few percent). What breaks
sessions is that once any packet from outside reaches a port, the router
rewrites the source port of later flows from it to other addresses, and every
session starts with such a packet from the node's own port check. Port-pair
reservation is real but secondary.
The guide now explains that, drops the wider range as a fix, gives the start
and removal cost of many published ports and the deploy limit past about 350,
and lists bridge mode with an endpoint-independent router, then an untested
port-check workaround. The decisive test (one packet in from another network,
then STUN from that port) is a manual step; the script and the catalog texts
say the same.
…, and drop the failed workaround
A command cut short by its timeout now keeps the checks whose marker made it
out, and the sessions marker comes after its data, so a partial read never
passes for a healthy one. The next batch starts with the first service the
last one did not reach, and listing the copies is bounded by the batch's
remaining time, so the rows already read still reach the UI. The UI keeps a
retained verdict only for the probe definition it was read against.
The STUN test gives each try its own deadline, keeps one pair of sockets open
at a time, exits 5 when it cannot open one, and no longer says a VPN rules out
a forward. The guide stops the node from CashPilot for the decisive test, and
reports that switching the node to hole punching was tried on an affected
node and did not help.
…lled listing, and judge sessions only after a full sort
A batch that could not make its Docker client kept the pool slot it had
taken, so a few such batches left the probe unable to read anything. The
client is now made on the pool in that slot. A listing that always stalls
no longer keeps the services behind it from their turn.
A sweep that could not reach the database or fold the probe rows kept the
last probe hints with no check of the catalog's definition or of the
one-day limit; both now apply on that path too.
The sessions marker printed even when awk or sort failed, so an empty
output read as a healthy node. It now needs the whole pipeline to work,
while an empty session list still counts as read. The STUN script keeps
a rewrite it already measured when the machine runs out of sockets.
…instead of blaming a healthy node
A worker whose probe definition differs from the UI's leaves every check
unread. After a day the sweep reported that as unreadable and told the user
to check the node and its logs, when the node is fine and the fix is to run
the same CashPilot version on the worker and the UI. The hint now says so.
No actionable comments were generated in the recent review.
Walkthrough
This change adds Docker health probes from catalog validation through worker reads and producer-state hints. It adds Mysterium monitoring checks and a STUN-based UDP port-pair diagnostic, with updates to socket-proxy policies, deployment files, documentation, and tests.
Changes: Mysterium health and network diagnostics
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Probe declarations and evaluation app/health_probe.py, app/catalog.py, services/_schema.yml
Adds probe specification validation, check evaluation, and declaration fingerprints. Catalog validation reports probe errors, and the schema documents probe fields and ${WORKER_NAME} substitution.
Worker probe reads and API app/health_probe.py, app/worker_api.py, app/orchestrator.py, app/socket_policy.py, scripts/socket_proxy_policy.py, Dockerfile.worker, docker-compose*.yml, contrib/app-stores/*/CashPilot/docker-compose.yml, contrib/app-stores/runtipi/cashpilot/docker-compose.yml, tests/test_mysterium_health_probe.py
Adds bounded Docker reads and the authenticated /api/health-probes endpoint. Socket-proxy policies allow the probe commands, and worker-read tests cover results, errors, and deadlines.
Probe state and producer hints app/main.py, tests/test_mysterium_health_probe.py
The sweep tracks probe results separately from log hints, retains unread results within the stale limit, and includes probe hints for services without windowed log signals.
geiresx/CashPilot#21: Adds owner-based Docker access filtering, which governs which managed containers health-probe reads can access.
Merge Risk: Minimal · up to e3468
This change adds catalog-defined health probes, Mysterium monitoring checks, and a UDP port-rewrite diagnostic. The earlier documentation problem is fixed, and no concrete merge-blocking risk remains in the supplied evidence.
Security architecture risk: Low · up to e3468
The new diagnostics use authenticated requests, fixed service-defined commands, and a restricted Docker connection. No introduced security-boundary bypass was established. Deployment ownership and incomplete review coverage leave some uncertainty.
Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
observed — An authorized request can trigger probes across eligible running copies on that worker, not merely one node. Enumeration uses managed-service labels and excludes proxied copies; the proxy policy additionally configures worker ownership isolation.
Security Findings and Attack Paths
inferred — The inspected route does not provide a request-controlled path to arbitrary command or container selection. Command substitution would require separate catalog or worker authority not established as attacker-reachable here. This limits the demonstrated exposure without establishing safety for uninspected deployment configurations.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — Catalog declarations are executable policy inputs. Validation checks command shape, timeout and check definitions, but does not prove semantic read-only behavior. The separate operator-managed proxy allowlist therefore remains an important authority boundary; its configuration continues to deny privileged exec and caller-supplied environment variables.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
CodeQL warning on 0.0.0.0 bind is a false positive. Keep the bind.
The socket is a client socket. It sends only to the STUN server and never accepts connections. The test must bind to a fixed source port on any local address, so binding to 0.0.0.0 is correct. The script runs with --network host or in the node's container namespace. Binding to a specific address would break the test. Dismiss the alert in CodeQL, or add a # lgtm/nosec-style suppression with a one-line reason. The code comment on Lines 144-145 already states the reason.

- Around line 324-338: Remove the first standalone docker run block from the
secondary pairing-effect instructions in the Mysterium guide. Keep the later
block that downloads stun_port_pair.py with curl and then runs it in the node’s
network namespace.
