Summary

Usernames, generated device IDs and uploaded app names are all joined onto paths under the data directory. This PR tightens how each one is accepted, so that a name always maps to its own directory.

  • Usernames: validated on registration and OIDC auto-create. Allowed characters are letters, digits and . _ @ + -, and the name must start with a letter or digit. Email-style usernames from OIDC still work. The registration form already asks for alphanumeric names, so this mostly enforces that. Existing users are unaffected; deleting a user whose stored name isn't a single path component now skips that user's directory cleanup.
  • Device IDs generated from the name: if the name has no letters or digits (e.g. only emoji), the ID falls back to a random hex ID instead of an empty string. If the slug is already taken (device IDs are global, so another user may own it), a -2, -3, … suffix is added instead of failing on the primary key.
  • ensureDeviceImageDir: rejects empty, . and .. IDs.
  • App uploads: names that are empty or start with a dot (e.g. a file named .zip) are rejected with "Invalid app name". This also applies to a zip manifest's packageName.

Adds an Invalid username. message to en.json and de.json.

Test plan

  • New internal/server/path_validation_test.go covers each change: username validation, a rejected registration, user deletion with an unsafe stored name, empty and duplicate name-derived device IDs (helper and handler), dot-named uploads, and the userAppDir helper.
  • The full go test ./... suite and lint passed on Linux (amd64 and arm64), macOS and Windows in my fork's CI. That run was three upstream commits behind; this branch is rebased onto current main and applied cleanly.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Registration and account creation now reject usernames that don’t meet the supported format, with guidance shown in English and German.
    • App uploads reject unsafe names, and device creation generates unique IDs when names conflict.
    • User cleanup skips unsafe paths, helping prevent unintended file changes.

Usernames, generated device IDs and uploaded app names are all joined
onto paths under the data directory. Tighten how each one is accepted:

- Validate usernames on registration and OIDC auto-create (letters,
  digits and . _ @ + -, starting with a letter or digit), and skip the
  per-user directory cleanup for stored names that are not a single
  path component.
- When a device ID is generated from the device name, fall back to a
  random ID if the name has no letters or digits, and add a numeric
  suffix if the ID is already taken.
- Reject empty, "." and ".." device IDs in ensureDeviceImageDir.
- Reject uploaded app names that are empty or start with a dot.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The changes add username validation to registration flows, validate app upload destinations, generate unique device IDs from names, and check path components before filesystem operations. Tests cover these behaviors, and English and German translations provide the invalid-username message.

Changes

Input and path safety

Layer / File(s) Summary
Username validation and account creation
internal/server/helpers.go, internal/server/auth.go, internal/server/oidc.go, internal/server/path_validation_test.go, web/i18n/*.json
A shared validator accepts usernames of 1–128 characters with the specified ASCII rules. Registration and OIDC account creation reject invalid usernames. Tests cover username validation and registration rejection; English and German messages describe the rule.
App upload destination validation
internal/server/handlers_app.go, internal/server/path_validation_test.go
Individual and ZIP uploads use userAppDir to validate app names and resolve destination directories. Tests cover rejected names and verify that existing app files remain unchanged.
Device ID generation and creation
internal/server/handlers_device.go, internal/server/path_validation_test.go
Name-based device creation checks for globally unused IDs, tries suffixes from -2 through -100, and uses an eight-character secure token when needed. Tests cover collisions and names without letters or digits.
Safe filesystem cleanup
internal/server/helpers.go, internal/server/handlers_user.go, internal/server/path_validation_test.go
Device image directory creation and user-deletion cleanup check path components before filesystem operations. Tests cover unsafe device IDs and verify that unrelated files remain when deleting a legacy-invalid username.
