Strict review of the current head found one blocking issue.
The code gates and tests are green, and the macaroon file-mode checker itself is scoped honestly to other mode bits. However, the Docker deployment guidance still creates the mounted configuration root with default permissions. That root holds settings.toml (commonly containing nsec_privkey) and mostro.db, so hardening only config/lnd/ still leaves adjacent Mostro secrets exposed in the documented setup. I verified the documented commands produce a 0755 config directory and a 0644 settings file under a normal umask.

Please make the top-level mounted config directories private as well (for example install -d -m 700 docker/config / install -d -m 700 ~/mostro-config, preserving the UID/GID guidance needed for container writes), not only the lnd subdirectory.

Strict re-review of the new head found one remaining blocker. The top-level config-directory issue from my previous review is fixed, and the local/CI checks are green, but the new settings-template creation helper still follows a final-path symlink after a check-then-create gap.
I verified the behavior locally: a settings.toml symlink causes the target file to be truncated and chmodded to 0600. This path is only used when the settings file is missing, but the code explicitly preserves existing settings-directory permissions, including deliberately broader deployments. In any group-writable or otherwise shared config directory, another local account can race the absent-file check and point the daemon at an attacker-chosen target. For a permissions-hardening PR that now owns initial settings creation, this should be closed rather than documented around.
Please make initial creation atomic and no-follow on Unix, e.g. use O_CREAT | O_EXCL | O_NOFOLLOW for settings.toml, fail if the path appears concurrently, and keep any existing-file path separate. Add a Unix regression test with settings.toml as a symlink and assert the symlink target is neither truncated nor chmodded.

Strict re-review of the new head found that the previous non-interactive symlink blocker is fixed, and local/CI checks are green. I still cannot approve because the interactive setup menu has an equivalent settings-file creation path that remains outside the new owner-only/no-follow helper.
src/config/wizard.rs still writes settings.toml with std::fs::write for the manual setup choice, which creates the file under the process umask (commonly 0644; I verified that behavior locally). The guided wizard path also still uses OpenOptions::create(true).truncate(true) on config_file_path, so it can follow a final-path symlink if one is planted after the caller's missing-file check. This is the same class of local-secret hardening issue as the one fixed in src/config/util.rs: settings.toml later receives nsec_privkey, and the PR now documents owner-only settings creation as a guarantee.
Please route all initial settings.toml creation paths through the same atomic owner-only primitive (or an equivalent shared helper): non-interactive template copy, interactive manual template copy, and guided wizard save. Add tests for the manual/wizard initial creation behavior where practical: owner-only mode under a normal umask, preexisting file refusal, and symlink target left untouched.

Strict re-review of the current head is clean. I verified that the prior blockers are fixed: the Docker/config root is created with private permissions, every initial settings.toml creation path now goes through the shared owner-only/create-new primitive, and the symlink behavior for directory components is now explicitly scoped rather than over-promised.

También verifiqué dos cosas que parecían hallazgos y no lo son: (a) el chequeo va después del return run_cashu(ctx) en main.rs:222, pero run_cashu no instancia LndConnector (src/app.rs:503), así que saltárselo es correcto; (b) config a 0700 no rompe al servicio nostr-relay, porque sus bind mounts (./config/relay/config.toml, ./config/relay/data) se montan directamente en el namespace del contenedor y no requieren atravesar el directorio padre del host.

1. src/config/wizard.rs:252 — el .env con el mismo nsec sigue siendo vulnerable al symlink que la PR arregla
create_owner_only cierra el hueco para settings.toml con O_CREAT|O_EXCL, y docs/STARTUP_AND_CONFIG.md declara la invariante ("never through a symlink" para el nsec). Pero write_env_file sigue con create(true).truncate(true): sigue symlinks y trunca el destino, reseteándolo a 0600. Y es peor de lo que parece por el orden de ejecución: en el wizard, prompt_nostr_settings → write_env_file corre antes de save_settings, así que el escenario exacto que la PR describe (otra cuenta local con escritura en el directorio de settings) sigue abierto por la ruta del .env — que contiene el mismo secreto.
// src/config/wizard.rs:252
std::fs::OpenOptions::new()
.write(true)
.create(true)
.truncate(true)
.mode(0o600)
+ .custom_flags(libc::O_NOFOLLOW) // o migrar a create_owner_only con manejo del caso "ya existe"
.open(path)No se puede usar create_owner_only tal cual porque write_env_file sí necesita reescribir un .env existente (hay un test que lo cubre: test_write_env_file_tightens_preexisting_broader_permissions). O_NOFOLLOW es el mínimo. Si no se arregla en esta PR, hay que quitar la afirmación absoluta de docs/STARTUP_AND_CONFIG.md, porque hoy documenta una garantía que el .env no cumple.
🟠 Media
2. Makefile:43,53 — install -d -m 700 config revierte permisos deliberados en cada make docker-up
GNU/BSD install -d aplica el modo también a directorios existentes (la propia PR lo usa como feature en docker/README.md). El efecto en docker-up/docker-relay-up es que un config que el operador dejó en 0750 con un grupo se le vuelve 0700 en cada arranque, en silencio. Eso contradice la política que la propia PR declara para el lado Rust: "An existing settings directory is left as it is, so a deliberately group-readable deployment keeps working". Dos reglas opuestas para el mismo directorio.
- install -d -m 700 config && \
- mkdir -p config/relay && \
+ [ -d config ] || install -d -m 700 config; \
+ mkdir -p config/relay && \3. src/config/permissions.rs:90 — 0700 se propaga a todos los ancestros creados, no solo a la hoja
DirBuilder::mode(0o700) + recursive(true) aplica el modo a cada directorio que crea. El propio test lo fija: settings_dir_creation_is_recursive_and_owner_only afirma mode_of(&root.join("nested")) == 0o700. Con mostrod -d /srv/apps/mostro/conf sobre un árbol nuevo, /srv/apps y /srv/apps/mostro quedan 0700 propiedad del daemon, lo que puede dejar fuera a otros consumidores del árbol. Para ~/.mostro da igual; para el flag -d no. O se crean los padres con el umask normal y se aplica 0700 solo a la hoja, o hay que documentarlo explícitamente (hoy STARTUP_AND_CONFIG.md solo habla de symlinks en el path, no de esto).
4. src/main.rs:230 — el aviso de arranque cubre el macaroon pero no lo que las guías te hacen crear a mano
warn_if_other_accessible ya es genérica (recibe label). settings.toml y <dir>/.env llevan nsec_privkey en claro y son precisamente los archivos que los flujos documentados crean con cp/curl/editor — el caso que motiva toda la PR. Un settings.toml en 0644 arranca sin decir nada. Son dos líneas:
permissions::warn_if_other_accessible(&Settings::get_ln().lnd_macaroon_file, "LND admin macaroon");
+permissions::warn_if_other_accessible(&config_file_path, "Mostro settings file");(La ruta hay que exponerla desde init_configuration_file, que hoy no la devuelve.)
5. Makefile / docker/compose.yml:13 — MOSTRO_CONTAINER_USER se avisa solo en docker-build, y falla tarde
El aviso se imprime en docker-build, pero la variable la consume docker-up. Un operador con uid distinto de 1000 que corra make docker-up en otra shell obtiene un EACCES al leer el macaroon 0600, que aflora como fallo de conexión a LND — un síntoma que no apunta a permisos. Y el nuevo chequeo de arranque tampoco lo cubre (el warning solo mira bits other, no si este proceso puede leer). Lo más simple es derivarlo en el Makefile en vez de documentarlo:
docker-up:
@set -o pipefail; \
cd docker && \
export MOSTRO_CONTAINER_USER="$${MOSTRO_CONTAINER_USER:-$$(id -u):$$(id -g)}" && \🟡 Baja / nits
-
Makefile:31— ventana de exposición en el propioinstall. Siconfig/lnd/admin.macaroonya existe en0644(de un build previo con el flujocpviejo),installtrunca y escribe el contenido nuevo y solo hace elchmodal final: el macaroon nuevo pasa unos milisegundos world-readable. Borrar el destino antes delinstall, o instalar a nombre temporal +mv, lo cierra. -
docker/README.md(2 sitios) —curl … -o file+chmod 600tiene la misma ventana, y la PR incluso la señala en prosa ("curlcreates the file under your umask… so the mode has to be set afterwards"). Se elimina, no se documenta:(umask 077 && curl -fsSL … -o ~/mostro-config/settings.toml). -
src/config/permissions.rs:120— escritura no atómica. Siwrite_allfalla a mitad (disco lleno), queda unsettings.tomltruncado en0600; el siguiente arranque lo parsea y muere con "malformed TOML" en vez de recrearlo. Temporal en el mismo directorio (concreate_new, que conserva la garantía anti-symlink) +renamelo hace atómico. -
docker/start.sh:9—[ -f /config/settings.toml ]es falso para un symlink colgante y elinstallescribiría a través de él. Misma clase de bug que la PR arregla en Rust; marginal dentro del contenedor, pero es incoherente dejarlo. -
Tests:

En un CI compartido/tmpes escribible por todos, así que los tests de una PR sobre permisos son ellos mismos plantables por symlink.tempfileno está en[dev-dependencies]; añadirlo y extraer los helpers a un módulo común resuelve las dos cosas. -

Alcance vs. título. "set explicit permissions on the LND admin macaroon" no anticipa el
.dockerignorenuevo, eluser:en compose (cambio de contrato de despliegue) ni la refactorización de la creación desettings.toml. Vale la pena reflejarlo en el título o en las release notes.
Lo que está bien hecho
- El razonamiento de
O_CREAT|O_EXCLes correcto y está bien justificado en el comentario, incluido elfchmodposterior para derrotar al umask (OpenOptionsExt::modesí se enmascara). - Tolerar
0640en vez de exigir0600es la decisión acertada: es el modo con el que LND escribe el macaroon, y exigir0600habría roto el patrón legítimo de acceso por grupo. - Advertir en vez de abortar evita convertir una brecha de hardening en un outage en la siguiente actualización.
- El
.dockerignorees un hallazgo real y no obvio:COPY . .con contexto en la raíz metía el macaroon staged en la capa del builder y su caché, y.gitignoreno aplica ahí. - Los tests de symlink/preexistente verifican que la víctima queda intacta en contenido y modo, no solo que la llamada falla.
Veredicto: aprobar con cambios. El único bloqueante real es el #1 — o se arregla write_env_file o se corrige la garantía documentada, porque tal como está la PR afirma una invariante sobre el nsec que su propio código no cumple.

Summary
The
docker-buildtarget and every documented deployment flow copied the LND admin macaroon with plaincp, which keeps whatever mode the source file (or an already existing destination file) happens to have. Nothing set the mode explicitly and nothing checked it, so a spend-capable credential could sit world-readable with no output saying so.Changes
Makefile:install -m 600for the macaroon,install -m 644for the cert,install -d -m 700forconfig/lnd, plus a note about the uid/gid 1000 the container runs as.docker/README.md,docker/ENV_VARIABLES.md,README.md,INSTALL.md,AGENTS.md):install -minstead ofcpin all three flows, with the ownership each one needs so tightening the mode does not lock mostrod out of the file.src/config/permissions.rs(new): startup check that warns when the macaroon is reachable by users outside its owner and group. Advisory only, and tolerates0640, the mode LND itself writes the macaroon with.Verification
