Summary

connection_manager() caches ServerManager objects keyed only by the Flask session id and the server's numeric id. If the configuration database is reset or restored without restarting pgAdmin, a newly created server can end up reusing the id of a deleted one (autoincrement restarts from 1 on a fresh DB), and the cached manager, still holding the old server's host/port/credentials/connection state, gets handed back as though it belonged to the new row. This can show a server as "connected" when it never has been, or worse, route queries at the wrong physical server.

Fixes #6090.

Change

Before reusing a cached manager, compare it against the current Server row's identifying fields (host, port, maintenance db, username, service, tunnel host). On a mismatch, release the stale connections and rebuild the manager via the existing update() path (the same mechanism already used by the server-edit endpoints), rather than trusting the numeric id match alone.

For a non-owner of a shared server, managers are built, rebuilt, restored and compared against the user's SharedServer overlay (their own username, service, tunnel host and so on), applied to a transient copy of the row, since that is what the connect endpoint builds the manager from; comparing against the owner's row would release the non-owner's connection on every request.

The same check is applied to the serialized manager state restored from the Flask session on a worker's first request (ServerManager.as_dict() now stores the identity fields), so a reused id cannot pick up the old row's saved password or connections either.

Each manager, and its serialized state, is also bound to the fs_uniquifier of the pgAdmin user it was built for, as the issue suggests. Nothing rotates the session id at login, so without this a new user who logs in on the same browser session and re-imports the same servers (the issue's own reproduction, where every connection field matches) would inherit the previous user's live connection and saved password.

Test plan

  • New unit tests for Driver._manager_is_stale, Driver._saved_state_is_stale and Driver._manager_source, including the different-user and shared-server non-owner cases (web/pgadmin/utils/driver/psycopg3/tests/test_manager_is_stale.py)
  • New server-mode test that a non-owner of a shared server, connecting with a shared username that differs from the owner's, is still connected on the next request (test_server_data_isolation, run by run-python-tests-server-mode)
  • regression/runtests.py --pkg utils.driver.psycopg3.tests.test_manager_is_stale: 12/12 passed
  • regression/runtests.py --pkg browser.server_groups.servers.tests.test_check_connect: 11/11 passed and test_shared_server: 14/14 passed (no regression in normal connect/edit flows)
  • pycodestyle clean on all changed files

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Connections now use current server settings and the signed-in pgAdmin identity when restoring sessions, preventing outdated sessions from being reused after account or connection details change.
    • Connections to shared servers now remain available across subsequent requests and use the connection details shared with the signed-in user, without changing the owner’s settings.
    • Errors encountered while adapting a value are now reported instead of silently returning the unadapted value.

Walkthrough

The psycopg3 driver validates saved and cached manager state against the current user and server connection identity. For eligible non-owners, it uses shared-server connection data without changing the owner’s connection parameters. Driver.qtLiteral now requires a connection and propagates literal-adaptation errors.

Changes

Psycopg3 session identity and shared-server isolation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Identity contract and freshness checks
web/pgadmin/utils/driver/psycopg3/server_manager.py, web/pgadmin/utils/driver/psycopg3/__init__.py, web/pgadmin/utils/driver/psycopg3/tests/test_manager_is_stale.py
Serialized manager state records the pgAdmin user and server connection fields. The driver checks identity when restoring state. Tests cover matching and mismatching identities, missing saved-state fields, user changes, and tunnel-host handling.
Manager selection and refresh
web/pgadmin/utils/driver/psycopg3/__init__.py, web/pgadmin/utils/driver/psycopg3/tests/test_manager_is_stale.py, web/pgadmin/browser/server_groups/servers/tests/test_server_data_isolation.py
The driver selects shared-server connection data for eligible non-owners. It releases and rebuilds stale managers, and refreshes sharing metadata for matching managers. Tests cover source selection and a non-owner connection persisting across requests.
Shared-server connection data isolation
web/pgadmin/browser/server_groups/servers/__init__.py, web/pgadmin/browser/server_groups/servers/tests/test_server_data_isolation.py
The shared-server property path copies owner connection parameters before applying shared values. A test checks that a non-owner’s SSL certificate path does not change the owner’s SSL parameters.
Literal adaptation behavior
web/pgadmin/utils/driver/psycopg3/__init__.py
Driver.qtLiteral requires a connection and propagates literal-adaptation errors.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 61679

The fixture leak is fixed, and no actionable PR-introduced risk remains after normal checks.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to ddb13

The change strengthens connection isolation, but the new shared-server overlay path can unintentionally alter the owner’s security-related connection settings. This creates a bounded cross-user configuration risk.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · inferred: The new transient shared-server overlay aliases the owner’s tracked connection_params dictionary. Applying a non-owner’s overlay can overwrite or delete the owner’s certificate and passfile settings, dirtying the owner row and potentially persisting changes outside the non-owner’s authority.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The identified ownership risk is reachable by an authenticated non-owner authorized to access a shared server when an overlay exists and the owner has populated sensitive connection parameters. Exposure concerns that server’s owner configuration and subsequent consumers if changes persist; repository-wide or unauthenticated access was not established.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — A non-owner overlay supplies certificate or passfile paths, or omits them. The helper consequently writes those values into, or deletes them from, the aliased owner dictionary. This crosses the intended per-user configuration boundary and can affect subsequent owner connection behavior. Durable modification depends on surrounding flush and commit behavior; credential theft was not demonstrated.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Current-user server access validation still precedes cache reuse. The overlay helper attempts to protect owner persistence by detaching its argument, but the new caller passes a transient object rather than the attached owner. That safeguard therefore does not detach the owner of the aliased mutable dictionary.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Construct per-user overlays from independently owned mutable values, and validate that applying them leaves the owner’s dictionary, ORM dirtiness, and persisted configuration unchanged.

CodeRabbit review on pgadmin-org#10312 identified two real gaps left by the
_manager_is_stale check:

- _restore_connections_from_session() (the path taken on a worker's
  first request for a session, e.g. after a restart) restored serialized
  password/connection state from the Flask session purely by numeric
  server id, with no identity check at all - so a reused id would have
  the previous row's serialized state applied before any manager
  existed to run _manager_is_stale against. ServerManager.as_dict() now
  persists the same six identity fields alongside the serialized state,
  and _restore_connections_from_session() checks them (via the new
  _saved_state_is_stale) before restoring, discarding the blob instead
  of restoring it when they don't match.

- The non-stale (fast) path in connection_manager() kept a cached
  manager's shared/passexec suppression as of whenever it was last
  built, since manager.update() - the only place shared/passexec get
  refreshed - is only called on the stale path. A reused id whose new
  row happens to share every identity field but differs in shared/
  ownership would keep serving the previous owner's passexec to a
  non-owner. shared/passexec are now refreshed unconditionally from the
  current server row regardless of which path was taken.

Note

Automated review by an AI agent (Claude Fable 5.1), not by @dpage. Dave asked a Claude Code agent with a clean context to review this PR; the findings below are the agent's own and have not been edited by Dave.

The staleness checks themselves are sound and the earlier CodeRabbit threads (durable identity, first-restore validation, overlay on rebuild) are all genuinely addressed, and the PR's own tests plus test_check_connect and the server-mode isolation module all pass locally. However, the last commit's _manager_source() overlay introduces a cross-user write to the owner's Server row that I reproduced end to end, so it needs one more round.

Must fix

web/pgadmin/utils/driver/psycopg3/__init__.py:166-171 – the transient overlay copy shares the owner's connection_params dict, and the overlay mutates it in place, dirtying the owner's session-bound row.

Server(**{attr.key: getattr(server_data, attr.key) ...}) copies the reference to the owner's MutableDict for connection_params, so the new object and the in-session owner row now share one dict with two parents. get_shared_server_properties() (servers/__init__.py:210-221) then does s_conn[key] = ... / del s_conn[key] on that dict, which flags the owner's row as modified. The existing callers were safe because they expunge the row first; this path does not, and the row stays in the session.

Failure scenario, reproduced locally in server mode: owner creates a shared server with connection_params = {sslcert, sslkey, sslrootcert, passfile} pointing at their own files; a non-owner whose SharedServer has connection_params = {'sslcert': '/home/nonowner/cert.pem'} connects with save_password ticked (the db.session.commit() at servers/__init__.py:1750). The owner's row afterwards reads {'sslcert': '/home/nonowner/cert.pem'}: the owner's SSL cert, key, root cert and passfile paths are gone and the non-owner's cert path is written into the owner's record. With master's driver files the owner's row is untouched. Any later commit() in a non-owner request (connect, update, update_session_manager) will flush it; autoflush on a subsequent query will stage it even without one.

Fix: deep-copy the JSON columns when building the overlay (e.g. copy.deepcopy(getattr(server_data, key)) for connection_params and tags, or at least dict(server_data.connection_params or {}); MutableDict.coerce will wrap a plain dict in a fresh instance). I would also make get_shared_server_properties() copy s_conn before mutating it so no future caller can repeat this. Please add a regression test along the lines above (non-owner with a sensitive key connects with save_password, then assert the owner's row is unchanged).

Should fix

__init__.py:199 and :223 – with SUPPORT_SSH_TUNNEL = False, any server whose row has tunnel_host set is permanently "stale".

ServerManager.update() sets self.tunnel_host = None when tunnel support is off (server_manager.py:108-110), but both predicates compare against the raw server_data.tunnel_host. The row can carry a tunnel host via the servers JSON import or because the setting was turned off after the server was created (the UI only hides the tab). Result: every connection_manager() call takes the stale branch, releases all live connections and rebuilds the manager, so the server can never stay connected; the saved session state is likewise discarded on every restore. Fix: compare against the effective value (server_data.tunnel_host if config.SUPPORT_SSH_TUNNEL else None) in both predicates, and store the same in as_dict().

Non-blocking

  • test_server_data_isolation.py:378 – self.server['username'] = 'pga_test_owner_only_role' is set on the shared fixture dict and never restored, so everything after this class in the same run authenticates as that role. In CI the module runs alone so only the harness's own teardown trips (two password authentication failed tracebacks after the run); locally, running the package in server mode makes the following resql tests error. Save the original in setUp and restore it in tearDown.
  • __init__.py:131 – _manager_source() now runs a SharedServer query on every connection_manager() call for a non-owner, which is on the hot path of every check_precondition. Not a correctness issue; caching the lookup per request (e.g. on flask.g) would avoid it if it ever shows up.
  • The branch is based on efa8ac794, behind upstream/master, which has since touched server_manager.py (SSH agent change) and server_access.py (OAuth2 group claims) in different hunks; the rebase should be clean but worth doing before the squash.

Note

Changes made by an AI agent (Claude Fable 5.1), not by @dpage. Dave asked a Claude Code agent to address the automated review above.

Rebased onto current master and pushed 712d5c1. _manager_source() now deep-copies the column values when building the overlay, so the owner's connection_params MutableDict is no longer shared by reference, and get_shared_server_properties() works on a copy of the dict so no other caller can dirty the owner's row. The staleness predicates compare against the effective tunnel host (None when SUPPORT_SSH_TUNNEL is off), matching what ServerManager.update() stores. The non-owner connection test restores the fixture's username in tearDown.

Tests: two new unit tests in test_manager_is_stale.py (overlay does not share the owner's JSON columns; tunnel host ignored when tunnels are unsupported) and a server-mode regression test, SharedServerNonOwnerSavePasswordKeepsOwnerParamsTestCase, in which a non-owner with their own sslcert connects with save_password and the owner's row is then checked. All three fail on the previous head (the regression test reproduces /home/nonowner/cert.pem landing in the owner's row) and pass with the fix. Also ran test_check_connect and the full test_server_data_isolation module in server mode locally, plus pycodestyle on the changed files; all green. The per-request caching of the SharedServer lookup was left as is.

Rebased onto master after #10506 landed. That PR moved the shared-server passexec handling into build_passexec(), which now resolves the command per pgAdmin user, so the unconditional manager.passexec = None for non-owners here would have broken inherited commands. I've dropped it; in the identity-unchanged path the password exec object is now rebuilt with build_passexec() only when the sharing flag changes, so the cached password survives ordinary requests.
