Add Grant/permission drift detection via a new Grant snapshot type - #7992
geekette86 wants to merge 2 commits into
Conversation
Liquibase's diff engine only tracks schema objects (tables, columns, indexes, etc.), so a manual GRANT/REVOKE made outside a changeset is invisible to it. This adds a Grant DatabaseObject type, a GrantSnapshotGenerator (PostgreSQL and MySQL/MariaDB, reading information_schema.table_privileges), and a GrantComparator so table privileges can be diffed the same way schema drift is today. Grants are opt-in (snapshotByDefault() is false) to avoid changing the output or performance of existing diff/snapshot runs; request them explicitly with `liquibase diff --snapshot-types=grants` or `liquibase snapshot --snapshot-types=grants`.

Use locale-independent case normalization.
GrantComparator.hash passes grant identity fields through String.toLowerCase(), which uses the JVM default locale. With a Turkish default locale, "INSERT" becomes "ınsert" while "insert" remains "insert". This can split case-equivalent grants during matching.
Use toLowerCase(Locale.ROOT) and add a Turkish-locale regression test.

Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

💡 Result:
The information_schema.table_privileges view in PostgreSQL does not contain columns named enabled_role, grantor, or grantee as separate top-level definitions for an "enabled role" status. Instead, the view itself is designed to identify privileges relevant to the "currently enabled role" [1][2][3]. The view contains the following columns related to grant information [1][2][3]: - grantor: Specifies the name of the role that granted the privilege [1][2][3]. - grantee: Specifies the name of the role to which the privilege was granted [1][2][3]. There is no column named enabled_role. The scope of the information_schema.table_privileges view is defined such that it automatically identifies privileges granted on tables or views to, or by, a currently enabled role [1][2][3]. For reference, the full list of columns in information_schema.table_privileges is [1][2][3]: - grantor - grantee - table_catalog - table_schema - table_name - privilege_type - is_grantable - with_hierarchy

Reachability: External
Exploitability: Difficult
CWE: CWE-693
Use a complete PostgreSQL ACL source for permission drift detection.
PostgreSQL information_schema.table_privileges can omit grants when neither the grantor nor grantee is enabled for the Liquibase connection. The generator then creates no Grant, so permission drift remains undetected. Query PostgreSQL catalog ACLs with aclexplode, or reject this mode when complete auditing is required. Add an integration test for roles that differ from the snapshot connection role.

Include grantor in the grant identity.
PostgreSQL exposes one table_privileges row for each table, grantor, grantee, and privilege type. The query omits grantor, mapToGrant discards it, and Grant plus GrantComparator omit it from identity.
If two visible rows differ only by grantor, GrantComparator treats them as the same object. A diff can then report no change when the grantor changes.
Add grantorName to Grant, map GRANTOR in the PostgreSQL snapshot query, and include it in equals(), hashCode(), and GrantComparator identity checks. Keep the shared MySQL query compatible when adding the PostgreSQL-specific column. Add tests for distinct grantors and row mapping.

Use Locale.ROOT in Grant.lower(...). When grants are explicitly snapshotted, GrantSnapshotGenerator.snapshotObject calls Grant.equals to match a database row. Under a Turkish default locale, INSERT and insert compare differently. DatabaseObjectCollection also stores grants in HashSet, which uses Grant.hashCode. Update Grant.lower(...) and add a Turkish-locale regression test.
