What

A SELF_SERVICE user could check out — and check in — any other member's
booking
in their workspace, via the mobile API.

detail.dev finding D005, plus two sibling routes the scan never named.

The bug

SELF_SERVICE holds both booking:checkout and booking:checkin in the
permission matrix, so the role gate on these endpoints passes for any
booking id in the organization. Nothing else stood between the caller and the
mutation:

  • the routes never read creatorId / custodianUserId;
  • and the services don't check either — checkoutBooking,
    partialCheckoutBooking and checkinBooking all have zero ownership
    references.

918d53d51 fixed exactly this on one route in July. The rest were never swept:

Route Before this PR
bookings.fulfil-and-checkout.ts guarded by 918d53d51
bookings.partial-checkout.ts ❌ D005
bookings.checkout.ts ❌ not in the scan
bookings.checkin.ts ❌ not in the scan — never loaded the booking at all

The fix

The same guard 918d53d51 introduced, applied to the remaining three:

validateBookingOwnership({
  booking: existingBooking,
  userId: user.id,
  role,
  action: "check out",
});

bookings.checkout.ts already loaded the booking for its conflict window, so
only its select widened. partial-checkout and checkin loaded nothing and
gain an org-scoped fetch — a foreign-org id still 404s before ownership is
evaluated, so there's no cross-org existence oracle.

The guard is a no-op for ADMIN/OWNER, pinned by a test on each route so it
can't regress into blocking admin workflows.

Two corrections to my own sweep

I first reported bookings.partial-checkin.ts and
bookings.add-scanned-assets.ts as unguarded. They aren't. They use
canUserManageBookingAssets and inline custodianUserId comparisons rather
than validateBookingOwnership, and I had grepped for only one of the two
guard shapes this codebase uses. The corrected sweep counts both, and both
routes come back clean.

Worth recording because the same one-shape grep is what would have missed
bookings.checkout.ts in the other direction.

Still unguarded, deliberately not here

bookings.update.ts and bookings.$bookingId.model-requests.ts have no
route-level ownership guard, both gated on booking:update. updateBasicBooking
appears to guard internally, so these need their own verification rather than a
reflexive fix. Flagged rather than silently swept in.

Tests

18 pass across the four mobile booking suites. Each new guard was confirmed
failing when removed — the SELF_SERVICE case asserts the service is never
called, not merely that the status changed.

Updating the existing suites' mocks was unavoidable: the guard resolves the
caller's role via getMobileUserContext and loads the booking. That those
suites broke is the evidence the guard sits on the live path.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Security Enhancements

    • Mobile check-in, checkout, partial checkout, and fulfilment now verify booking ownership and organization access.
    • Self-service users can only process their own bookings.
    • Administrators and owners retain access to bookings they do not own, including when multiple roles are assigned.
    • Unknown or unauthorized bookings return an appropriate not-found response.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for ownership restrictions, role resolution, and administrator access across mobile booking workflows.

…ss-user use

SELF_SERVICE holds `booking:checkout` in the permission matrix, so the role
gate on these endpoints passes for ANY booking id in the organization. Neither
route read `creatorId`/`custodianUserId`, and neither `checkoutBooking` nor
`partialCheckoutBooking` checks ownership itself -- verified, both have zero
ownership references. So a SELF_SERVICE user could check out another member's
booking.

918d53d fixed exactly this on bookings.fulfil-and-checkout.ts in July. The
other two mobile checkout routes were never swept:

  bookings.fulfil-and-checkout.ts   guarded (918d53d)
  bookings.partial-checkout.ts      NOT guarded   <- detail.dev D005
  bookings.checkout.ts              NOT guarded   <- not in the scan at all

Both now mirror that guard. `bookings.checkout.ts` already loaded the booking
for its conflict window, so it only needed the select widened;
partial-checkout loaded nothing, so it gains the org-scoped fetch too -- a
foreign-org id still 404s before the ownership check runs.

The guard is a no-op for ADMIN/OWNER, pinned by a test on each route so this
cannot regress into blocking admin workflows.

Both regression tests were confirmed failing against the unguarded routes.
Updating the existing suites' mocks was necessary because the guard resolves
the caller's role through `getMobileUserContext` -- that they broke is the
evidence it is on the path.

detail.dev finding D005, plus one sibling the scan missed.
The sweep the security reviewer asked for found the mirror of the checkout
bug. SELF_SERVICE holds `booking:checkin`, `checkinBooking` has zero ownership
references, and the route never loaded the booking at all -- it went straight
from the role gate to the mutation. So a SELF_SERVICE user could check in
another member's booking.

Same guard as the checkout routes. `role` was already resolved in this handler
for the explicit-checkin policy, so only the fetch and the guard are new.

Two corrections to my own earlier sweep, both from grepping for one guard shape
when the codebase has two:

- `bookings.partial-checkin.ts` looked unguarded but is not -- it reads
  `custodianUserId` and calls `canUserManageBookingAssets`.
- `bookings.add-scanned-assets.ts` likewise.

Counting `validateBookingOwnership` alone undercounted both. The corrected
sweep covers `canUserManageBookingAssets` and inline `creatorId`/
`custodianUserId` comparisons too.

After this, the mobile booking mutations still lacking any ownership guard are
`bookings.update.ts` and `bookings.$bookingId.model-requests.ts`, both gated on
`booking:update`. They need their own verification -- the service may guard, as
`updateBasicBooking` appears to -- so they are deliberately not in this commit.

Comment thread apps/webapp/app/routes/api+/mobile+/bookings.checkout.ts Outdated
`getMobileUserContext` returns `roles[0]`, so a membership ordered
`[SELF_SERVICE, ADMIN]` resolves to SELF_SERVICE. `validateBookingOwnership`
only lets ADMIN/OWNER through, so an actual admin was refused on a booking they
did not personally create -- a false NEGATIVE, not a hole, but it would have
looked like a broken app to the one customer it hit.

The context now also exposes the full `roles` array, and the guards resolve
through `resolveMostPrivilegedRole`, which prefers OWNER then ADMIN. `role`
keeps its existing meaning, so the 80-odd other consumers are untouched --
changing that globally is a larger behaviour question than this PR should
answer.

Applied to `bookings.fulfil-and-checkout.ts` as well: the flaw predates this PR
(918d53d passed the same `role`), and fixing three of four would have left
the inconsistency behind.

This is the same trap as the OWNER check in #2883, where reading `roles[0]`
would have missed an owner who also holds another role. Both regression tests
were confirmed failing against the roles[0] behaviour.

Raised by Codex on #2886.

Walkthrough

Mobile booking check-in, checkout, and partial checkout routes now enforce organization scope and booking ownership. Mobile user context exposes all organization roles. Tests cover self-service rejection and privileged-role access.

Changes

Mobile booking authorization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Role resolution and authorization context
apps/webapp/app/modules/api/mobile-auth.server.ts, apps/webapp/app/utils/booking-authorization.server.ts, apps/webapp/app/routes/api+/mobile+/bookings.fulfil-and-checkout.ts, apps/webapp/test/routes-tests/api+/mobile+/*
The mobile context now returns all organization roles. Authorization resolves privileged roles before validating booking ownership. Related mobile route tests provide the full role array.
Check-in authorization
apps/webapp/app/routes/api+/mobile+/bookings.checkin.ts, apps/webapp/test/routes-tests/api+/mobile.bookings.checkin.test.ts
The route validates the organization booking before check-in. Self-service users cannot check in another user’s booking. Tests cover administrator access and mixed role arrays.
Checkout authorization
apps/webapp/app/routes/api+/mobile+/bookings.checkout.ts, apps/webapp/test/routes-tests/api+/mobile.bookings.checkout.test.ts
The route selects booking creator and custodian IDs, then applies ownership validation. Tests cover self-service rejection and administrator access.
Partial checkout authorization
apps/webapp/app/routes/api+/mobile+/bookings.partial-checkout.ts, apps/webapp/test/routes-tests/api+/mobile.bookings.partial-checkout.test.ts
The route returns 404 for missing or foreign-workspace bookings and validates ownership before partial checkout. Tests cover self-service rejection and administrator access.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 41e53

The change prevents self-service users from mutating other members’ bookings, but the new ownership tests may pass even when the route returns an unexpected result, leaving an authorization regression insufficiently detected. Merge should wait for response assertions or explicit owner acceptance of this bounded test risk.

Use a shared booking ownership fixture factory.

The same inline creator and custodian variants repeat in each route suite. Add a factory for caller-owned and other-user bookings. Use it in these scenarios.

  • apps/webapp/test/routes-tests/api+/mobile.bookings.checkin.test.ts#L197-L200: create the foreign-owned booking through the factory.
  • apps/webapp/test/routes-tests/api+/mobile.bookings.checkout.test.ts#L188-L193: create the foreign-owned booking through the factory.
