CVE-2026-47726

nebula-mesh: GET /api/v1/audit-log discloses all entries to any operator

internal/api/audit.go:12 — handleGetAuditLog does no admin check. The route is bearer-auth gated only; any operator API key returns the full audit log via store.ListAuditEntries (up to limit=1000). This includes cross-tenant actor names, host/CA/operator IDs, action timestamps, and masked-IP entries from rate-limit refusals — enough surface for a tenant to enumerate the server's activity, infer staffing patterns, or identify high-value targets.

Affected

Reproducer

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer " \
  https://server/api/v1/audit-log?limit=1000

Suggested fix

• if !actorIsAdmin(ctx) { 403 } — strictest; matches the "operator management is admin-only" stance.
• Scope to actor: filter store.ListAuditEntries by actor.Username plus a subquery of CA IDs the actor owns. Operators see their own audit entries plus entries against their CA's resources.

Recommend option 1 unless the UI needs per-operator audit views.

Suggested patch

Verified locally: go vet, go test -race -count=1 ./..., golangci-lint v2.12 all clean.
