In `@app/client/packages/rts/src/routes/git_routes.ts`:
- Around line 10-15: The POST /reset route is unprotected: update the route
wiring in router.post to include your authentication/authorization middleware
(e.g., add authMiddleware.verifyJwt or apiKeyMiddleware.verify before
validator.validateRequest) so router.post(..., authMiddleware.verifyJwt,
body("repoPath")..., validator.validateRequest, gitController.reset);
additionally, add an explicit authorization check inside GitController.reset
(and/or gitService.reset) to verify the authenticated user's permissions for the
requested repoPath (e.g., confirm user id/roles or repo access) and return 403
on denial; ensure the controller extracts the authenticated user from the
request (req.user or equivalent) and that gitService.reset accepts a
principal/context to enforce permission checks.
In `@tests/invariant_git_routes.test.ts`:
- Around line 11-30: The test is failing because it sends the wrong payload
fields and the route lacks authentication; update the test payload to use the
route-validated fields (use repoPath and branch instead of repoUrl and
branchName when POSTing to /api/v1/git/reset) and then add authentication
middleware to the POST /api/v1/git/reset route in git_routes.ts (attach your
existing auth middleware, e.g., ensureAuthenticated or similar, to that route)
so unauthenticated requests return 401/403; once auth is added the updated test
(sending { repoPath, branch }) will correctly assert that unauthenticated
requests are rejected.

Critical: /git/reset route is unprotected (no authentication/authorization enforced anywhere in RTS code)
app/client/packages/rts/src/routes/git_routes.ts wires POST /reset with only repoPath input validation + validator.validateRequest + gitController.reset—no auth middleware (JWT/API key/etc.) is present. Validator.ts performs only validation, and GitController.reset / gitService.reset contain no authz/authn or permission checks. Since app/client/packages/rts/src/ce/server.ts mounts git_routes without authentication middleware, this endpoint remains vulnerable to unauthorized callers unless auth is enforced entirely outside RTS (not shown here).

Critical: Test will fail due to incorrect payload and missing authentication layer.
Two issues prevent this test from working as intended:
-
Wrong field names in payload (Line 25): The test sends
repoUrlandbranchName, but the route validatesrepoPath(seegit_routes.ts:12). This will trigger a 400 validation error, not the expected 401/403. -
No authentication to test: The route has no authentication middleware, so even with a correct payload, unauthenticated requests won't be rejected with 401/403. The test assumes auth exists but it doesn't.
🔧 Proposed fix assuming auth middleware will be added
const res = await request(app)
.post("/api/v1/git/reset")
.set(headers)
- .send({ repoUrl: "https://github.com/attacker/repo.git", branchName: "main" });
+ .send({ repoPath: "/tmp/test-repo" });
expect([401, 403]).toContain(res.status);However, this fix alone won't make the test pass—authentication middleware must first be added to the route.

Summary
Fix high severity security issue in
app/client/packages/rts/src/routes/git_routes.ts.Vulnerability
V-004app/client/packages/rts/src/routes/git_routes.ts:9Description: The POST /reset endpoint in the Real-Time Service (RTS) git routes uses validator.validateRequest middleware but may lack proper authentication token validation against the main Appsmith server and authorization checks to verify the requesting user has write access to the target repository. If the RTS service is accessible on the network without additional authentication layers, attackers can send forged requests to reset git repositories.
Evidence
Exploitation scenario: An attacker with network access to the RTS service (which may be exposed internally in containerized deployments or externally through misconfigured routing) sends a crafted POST request to /reset.
Scanner confirmation: multi_agent_ai rule
V-004flagged this pattern.Production code: This file is in the production codebase, not test-only code.
Threat Model Context
This route handler appears to be publicly accessible. This is a containerized service - vulnerabilities may be exploitable depending on network exposure.
