Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added service discovery and an API gateway that routes authentication, demo-account, and API documentation requests to the security service.
    • Added shared-secret validation for requests reaching the security service, with exceptions for preflight, health-check, and error requests.
    • Enabled service registration and registry lookup, and allowed OPTIONS requests for preflight checks.
  • Configuration

    • Added local defaults for service ports, gateway routing, CORS, and service discovery.
    • Added health, information, and metrics endpoints for service monitoring.
    • Added Maven wrapper support for the discovery and gateway services.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds Eureka discovery and gateway services. The security application registers with Eureka and validates gateway requests with a shared secret. The gateway routes selected API paths to the security service and defines CORS and management settings.

Changes

Service discovery, gateway, and security integration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Discovery server and module setup
discovery-service/pom.xml, discovery-service/src/..., discovery-service/mvnw*, discovery-service/.mvn/..., discovery-service/.gitignore, discovery-service/.gitattributes, .idea/...
Adds a Eureka server application on port 8761 with standalone-server settings, management endpoints, and a context-load test. Adds Maven wrapper scripts and module and IDE configuration.
Gateway routing and discovery client
gateway-service/pom.xml, gateway-service/src/..., gateway-service/mvnw*, gateway-service/.mvn/..., gateway-service/.gitignore, gateway-service/.gitattributes
Adds a gateway application on port 8070. It routes selected API and documentation paths to security-service, configures CORS and Eureka registration, and exposes management endpoints.
Security service discovery and gateway-secret validation
test/pom.xml, test/src/..., .coderabbit.yaml
Adds Eureka client support and enables discovery for the security application. A security filter checks X-Gateway-Secret, skips preflight and selected health/error paths, and returns HTTP 403 when the secret is missing or does not match. Updates Java and application-configuration review guidance.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 212b7

A clean local test run may fail before the security application context test runs unless a secret is supplied. This is a bounded test-workflow issue, not evidence that production deployments with configured secrets fail; it can be addressed with a test-only value.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to fe7de

The new gateway adds a useful perimeter check while preserving downstream authentication and authorization. However, service discovery now determines where authentication traffic and the gateway credential are sent, without demonstrated protection against unauthorized registration. Deployment isolation and coordinated secret rotation remain unverified.

Retained concerns

  • High · security · inferred: The gateway delegates security-service destination selection to a registry without demonstrated registration authentication. If an untrusted actor can reach Eureka and register an attacker-controlled security-service instance, routed authentication traffic and X-Gateway-Secret could be delivered to that instance. This is a new trust dependency, not a verified externally reachable exploit; deployment isolation could prevent the attack.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — Compromise of destination registration could affect authentication requests routed to a malicious security-service instance, rather than only the attacker's own requests. Exposure includes the shared gateway credential and routed auth traffic. No broader cross-service, tenant, environment, IAM, or data-store authority is established by this evidence.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — The conditional attack path is registry access, unauthorized security-service registration, gateway resolution to the attacker endpoint, then receipt of routed traffic and the injected secret. Registry write access and effective network reachability are prerequisites not demonstrated here. Disabled automatic discovery routing limits exposed paths but does not authenticate instances behind the explicit route.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The shared secret is a perimeter admission credential, not user authentication. Header replacement, constant-time comparison, immediate rejection, and preserved downstream authorization provide useful controls. The gateway actuator endpoint is enabled but excluded from the configured HTTP exposure list, countering an exposed route-management attack path under this configuration.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Secret mismatch contains failure by denying admission rather than granting access. Disabling enforcement removes that additional boundary, although downstream authentication remains. Recovery procedures therefore need to preserve enforcement rather than rely on its disable switch; available evidence does not establish those procedures.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Establish deployment-enforced registry isolation and authenticated registration or equivalent workload identity. Protect gateway-to-service traffic and credentials in transit, and verify that untrusted callers cannot publish destinations used by the security-service route.
  • proposed — Define coordinated secret provisioning, rotation, and rollback across all gateway and security-service instances. Validate mixed-version and interrupted rollout states, with bounded overlap if needed, while keeping perimeter enforcement enabled.

local from the base application.yml configuration in both discovery-service and

so it does not create routes for every registered service. Keep the explicit
routes list as the gateway’s public surface, and leave unrelated route
configuration unchanged.
- Around line 53-62: The `management.endpoints.web.exposure.include` setting
exposes the gateway actuator endpoint on the public gateway port; remove
`gateway` from the include list while preserving the existing health, info, and
metrics exposure.

- Around line 60-62: Update the GatewayHeaderFilter secret validation to reject
a missing or blank sharedSecret as well as a missing or mismatched
incomingSecret. Remove the empty default from the shared-secret @Value
configuration so startup fails when it is unset; in
gateway-service/src/main/resources/application.yml at line 19, remove the empty
default from GATEWAY_SHARED_SECRET too.
- Around line 46-51: Update shouldNotFilter so only /actuator/health bypasses
the gateway-secret check; remove the broad Swagger and other actuator path
exemptions so those requests require the gateway secret.

…wagger through gateway

- discovery-service: remove default local profile fallback from application.yml
  to ensure base config remains production-ready
- gateway-service: disable discovery locator to prevent unintended automatic exposure
  of microservices on /<service-name>/**
- gateway-service: remove gateway actuator from public exposure to avoid internal
  route topology disclosure
- gateway-service: enforce non-empty GATEWAY_SHARED_SECRET without empty fallback
- gateway-service: add /swagger-ui/** and /v3/api-docs/** to route predicates so
  documentation requests are securely proxied with the X-Gateway-Secret header
- security-service: validate sharedSecret is non-null and non-blank in GatewayHeaderFilter
  to prevent empty-string bypass
- security-service: restrict bypass paths to /actuator/health and /error, removing
  unauthenticated direct access to Swagger endpoints on port 8080

Keep the gateway target aligned with SPRING_APP_NAME.

If SPRING_APP_NAME differs from security-service, the security application registers under the override while this route still targets security-service. Routed requests can then fail to find the security service. Keep the gateway target synchronized with the configured service name.

Provide a test-only secret for the security context test.

When GATEWAY_SHARED_SECRET is absent, the security configuration leaves application.gateway.shared-secret unresolved. GatewayHeaderFilter injects that property with @Value, so the security @SpringBootTest can fail during context startup. Add a test-only value; do not add a production fallback.
