fix(platform-wallet-storage): open the wallet store on Android - #5352
HashEngineering wants to merge 1 commit into
Conversation
…entities in the parent-directory walk On Android every app's private storage sits beneath system:system 0771 directories (/data, /data/user/0, /data/data) created by init and vold, and Context.getFilesDir()/getDatabasesDir() create the app's own directories 0771 in its per-app group (gid equal to its uid). The ancestor walk rejected both, so SqlitePersister::open, the secrets vault and backup/restore could not open any app-private path on Android. On target_os = "android": - AID_SYSTEM (1000) is trusted as an ancestor owner and as the group of a group-writable ancestor. No app can run as or join system. - The app's own per-app group (the current uid) is trusted as the group of a group-writable ancestor. No other app can join it. Other-writable ancestors, ancestors writable by any other group (including the app's cache gid), and ancestors owned by another app's uid are still refused. Both trusted sets are empty on every other target, so desktop and iOS behaviour is unchanged; a user's primary group off Android (macOS staff, for one) is often shared. Verified on an Android 15 emulator, run as an app uid: files/native/dashshielded/wallet.db opens and reopens, the /data/data alias opens, and a 0777 ancestor is still refused. Reported by Edge integrating 4.2.0-beta.7. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Make the earlier permission rule conditional.
Lines 401–405 say the check refuses every non-sticky group-writable ancestor and every owner other than the effective user or a root identity. This Android exception makes both statements false. Update the earlier rule to name the trusted Android owner and group exceptions, so the documented rejection criteria match check_parent_perms.

Final validation — Phase 1 + Phase 2
Verified the complete diff and shared storage callers at head 9fa7508; no actionable in-scope defects were found. The Android-only trust exceptions apply to both lexical and canonical ancestor walks, retain rejection of non-sticky other-writable directories and untrusted identities, and preserve non-Android behavior. Validation was static only: the supplied CI snapshot shows Rust wallet and workspace tests skipped and PR Hygiene pending, so the author-reported local and emulator test results were not independently confirmed.

SqlitePersister::opencannot open any app-private path on Android.check_parent_perms(added in #3968) walks every ancestor of the database folder up to/. It rejects a folder that is group- or other-writable without the sticky bit, or one owned by neither the current user nor root. Every Android app's storage fails both rules:/data/user/0/<pkg>/files0771/data/user/0/<pkg>0700/data/user/00771/data/user0511/data0771Android sets these up itself.
init.rcand vold create/data,/data/userand/data/user/<n>assystem:system.ContextImpl.ensurePrivateDirExistscreatesfilesanddatabasesas0771in the app's own group. An app can't change any of thesystemfolders, so no app-private path can pass.Edge reported this while integrating 4.2.0-beta.7 into their wallet. They saw the same order of failures on an Android 16 emulator:
filesfirst, then/datafor its mode, then/datafor its owner. The same walk also guards the SQLite restore path,backup.rsand the file-based secrets vault, so all four are affected.The Kotlin SDK never hit this because
rs-platform-wallet-ffipersists through host callbacks into Room and never opens a file through this crate.What was done?
On
target_os = "android"only, the walk trusts two more identities:AID_SYSTEM(uid/gid 1000), as a folder owner and as the group of a group-writable folder. This covers/data,/data/userand/data/user/0.systemis the platform itself, it already administers every app's data, and no app can run as it or join its group.filesanddatabases. No other app can be a member of that group.Still rejected on Android:
0757,0777).sdcard_rw(1015) and the app's cache group (20000 + app id).Off Android both trusted lists are empty, so Linux, macOS and iOS behave exactly as before. The own-group rule deliberately stays Android-only, because elsewhere a user's primary group is often shared (macOS
staff).Code:
PLATFORM_IDSandtrusted_groups()inparent_permissions.rs, used by both the as-written walk and the symlink-resolved walk through a newwritable_without_sticky(mode, gid, trusted_groups). SECRETS.md documents the Android rule next to the existing ancestor-walk rules.Alternatives considered and not taken:
open, restore,backup.rsand the vault.Precedent: OpenSSH's
safe_pathwalk trusts a platform-specific system-folder owner besides root (PLATFORM_SYS_DIR_UID).How Has This Been Tested?
Unit tests (Linux host).
cargo test -p platform-wallet-storage --lib parent_permissions: 7 passed, 6 of them new or updated. They pass the trusted lists in explicitly, so the Android rules run on the host:systemis trusted only when it is in the platform list, and another app's uid stays untrusted.0771passes for group 1000 and for the app's own gid, and fails for another app's gid, the cache gid, group 0 and group 1015.0757and0777are rejected for every group.trusted_groups()is empty and a user-owned0775folder is still rejected.cargo test -p platform-wallet-storage --test sqlite_permissions: 13 passed. Clippy is clean onx86_64-unknown-linux-gnuandx86_64-linux-android, and rustfmt is clean.On device (Android 15 emulator, x86_64). A throwaway binary called
SqlitePersister::open. It was built withcargo ndkand run as a debug app's uid (10150) throughrun-as, with umask 077 to match an app process:v5.0-dev<dataDir>/files/x/wallet.db.../files(0771)v5.0-dev<dataDir>/x/wallet.db/data/user/0(0771)<dataDir>/files/native/dashshielded/wallet.db(Edge's layout)wallet.dbcreated0600/data/data/<pkg>aliasfilesset to07770770On the Linux host the same binary behaves as on
v5.0-dev.0775and0771folders in the user's own group are rejected, and a0700path under$HOMEopens.Not tested:
run-asgives the app's uid, gid and SELinux label, but it isn't the Zygote-forked process.chmod go-won a group-writable folder on the host Mac. That is the check working as intended, and this PR does not change it.Breaking Changes
None. Off Android the behaviour is unchanged, and on Android the change only accepts folders that were rejected before.
