sec(api): bound plan and account scope on the plan-accounts endpoints

[cristim]

Closes #1769

Problem

PUT /api/plans/:id/accounts was gated only on update:plans, and GET /api/plans/:id/accounts only on view:plans. Both verbs are default Standard User grants (DefaultUserPermissions, internal/auth/types.go), so no custom group was needed to reach either gap: a stock user scoped to a single account could re-point any plan at any account, and read back the account roster of any plan by id.

setPlanAccounts discarded the session returned by requirePermission (if _, err := ...), which is the tell. Between the decode and the SetPlanAccounts write it validated UUID well-formedness and provider match only. Neither requirePlanAccess nor requireAccountAccess was called. A plan's account set decides which accounts that plan buys commitments for, so either half redirects purchasing.

Two independent axes were open:

1. Plan axis - target a plan whose accounts all sit outside the caller's allowed_accounts. getPlan / updatePlan / deletePlan in handler_plans.go all call requirePlanAccess; this writer, living in handler_accounts.go, did not. Same guarded-primary / unguarded-sibling file boundary as sec(auth): enforce a grant ceiling and system-managed guard on group writes #1737 and sec(auth): fail closed when a user's account scope cannot be established #1752.
2. Account axis - attach an account outside allowed_accounts to a plan.

listPlanAccounts carried the mirror-image read gap.

Fix

requirePlanAccountsAccess (internal/api/scoping.go) guards both axes before the write, composing the two existing seams rather than re-deriving scope logic: requirePlanAccess for the plan, requireAccountAccess per attached account.

• Scope is resolved once and unrestricted principals short-circuit before any store lookup, mirroring requireExecutionAccess, so admin paths cost no extra round-trip and need no new fixtures.
• Empty and "*" allow-lists mean unrestricted at exactly one seam (getAccountScope -> AccountScope.AllowsAll). The empty-means-all rule is not re-derived at the call site, so there is no second place for it to drift.
• Refusals are the enumeration-safe errNotFound, not 403, matching requireAccountAccess's existing contract: a scoped caller cannot use these endpoints to confirm a plan or account exists.
• The guard runs before provider validation, so the issue-feat(api): validate plan account provider matches plan provider on assignment #209 mismatch messages cannot leak facts about accounts outside the caller's scope.

listPlanAccounts gains requirePlanAccess plus a per-account filter. Both are needed: a plan the caller legitimately reaches through one of their accounts may still carry accounts they have no entitlement to see.

The account_ids payload validation moved verbatim into validatePlanAccountIDs, keeping setPlanAccounts inside the gocyclo budget. Messages are unchanged.

Verification

11 tests in internal/api/plan_accounts_scope_test.go, run both directions: every refusal is paired with an in-scope control that must still succeed, because a refusal-only suite passes equally against a handler that refuses everyone. Two directions also run through Router.Route with the real route table, since handler-level tests have missed router-level bypasses on this repo before (#1757, #1773).

Each test was mutation-verified individually (go test ./internal/api/ -run '^Name$' -count=1); an aggregate run misreports here because a mock panic takes the whole binary down. The store is seeded so the request would succeed end-to-end with the guard removed - including a permissive SetPlanAccounts stub - so every mutation fails by assertion, never by an unstubbed-call panic.

Mutation	Tests that failed	Failure mode
M1: whole write guard removed	CannotAttachOutOfScopeAccount, MixedBatchRefusedWhole, CannotRepointOutOfScopePlan, RouterDispatch_ScopedOutOfScopeAccountRefused	assertion
M2: plan axis only removed	CannotRepointOutOfScopePlan	assertion
M3: account axis only removed	CannotAttachOutOfScopeAccount, MixedBatchRefusedWhole, RouterDispatch_ScopedOutOfScopeAccountRefused	assertion
M4: read-path requirePlanAccess removed	ListPlanAccounts_ScopedCallerCannotReadOutOfScopePlan	assertion
M5: read-path per-account filter removed	ListPlanAccounts_SeesOnlyItsOwnAccounts, RouterDispatch_ListPlanAccounts_ScopedCallerFiltered	assertion

Zero panics across all five. Every positive control (in-scope write allowed, unrestricted caller unaffected, unrestricted read unfiltered) survived every mutation, so the suite distinguishes a correct guard from a blanket refusal. M2 and M3 each isolate exactly one axis, proving neither half is load-bearing for the other's coverage.

Gates: go test ./internal/api/ 2134 pass; golangci-lint at the CI-pinned v2.10.1 reports 0 issues; gocyclo -over 10 -ignore "_test\.go" clean (package max is 10, unchanged).

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Security Enhancements

  • Enforced account and plan access checks when associating accounts with plans.
  • Prevented unauthorized users from attaching out-of-scope accounts or modifying inaccessible plans.
  • Filtered account listings to show only records within the caller’s permitted scope.
  • Added enumeration-safe errors to avoid revealing unauthorized resources.

• Bug Fixes

  • Improved validation for account identifiers and mixed-scope requests.
  • Preserved unrestricted access behavior for authorized callers.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The API now enforces plan and account scope for plan-account writes. It validates account IDs before persistence. Plan-account reads verify plan access and filter accounts by the caller’s allowed scope. Direct and router-level tests cover scoped and unrestricted callers.

Plan-account scope enforcement

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Centralized access checks internal/api/scoping.go	requirePlanAccountsAccess validates plan access and every requested account, while unrestricted sessions bypass scoped lookups.
Scoped association writes internal/api/handler_accounts.go, internal/api/plan_accounts_scope_test.go	setPlanAccounts validates non-empty UUID lists and enforces plan and account scope before provider validation and persistence. Tests cover allowed writes, refused writes, mixed batches, plan access, and unrestricted callers.
Scoped association reads internal/api/handler_accounts.go, internal/api/plan_accounts_scope_test.go	listPlanAccounts verifies plan access and filters returned accounts. Direct and router dispatch tests verify response filtering and access refusals.

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

Mergeability Score: ⚪ Minimal · up to ee0db

The PR tightens plan-account access by enforcing both plan and account scope while preserving in-scope behavior. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains; a small amount of avoidable authorization and store lookup overhead can be followed up separately.

100-117: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Avoid repeated scope resolution and duplicate plan-account reads. The plan-account access paths resolve caller scope more than once on scoped writes, including once per account, while the GET path loads plan accounts again after the access check. This adds avoidable authorization and store work as batch size grows. The scope comment also says the scope is resolved once, which no longer matches behavior. Please consider reusing the resolved scope and loaded account data while preserving the current refusal semantics.
