Summary

When Users.Block was configured, UserAllowedRule.Evaluate immediately returned EffectAllow for any user not matching the block list. This completely bypassed the Users.Allow check when both block and allow lists were defined, granting access to any unblocked user regardless of allow list restrictions.

Changes

  • When Users.Block does not match, continue evaluation to Users.Allow.
  • If Users.Allow is set, allow matching users (EffectAllow) and deny non-matching users (EffectDeny).
  • If Users.Allow is empty, unblocked users continue to be allowed (EffectAllow).
  • Added unit tests in TestUserAllowedRule covering all combination scenarios (user in block list, user in allow list, user in neither, and user in both).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • User access rules now consistently deny users on the block list, including when they also appear on the allow list. When both lists are configured, users matching neither list are denied.

When Users.Block was configured, UserAllowedRule returned EffectAllow immediately
whenever the user was not present in the block list. This completely bypassed
the Users.Allow list when both block and allow lists were defined, granting
access to any unblocked user regardless of allow list restrictions.

Now, if a user is not in the block list, evaluation proceeds to check
Users.Allow. If an allow list is configured, only users matching it are
allowed; if no allow list is configured, unblocked users continue to be allowed.

Walkthrough

UserAllowedRule.Evaluate now checks the allow list after a user does not match the block list. When the allow list is empty, a configured block list results in an allow effect; otherwise, the rule abstains. Tests cover four combinations of block- and allow-list matches.

Changes: User access rule evaluation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Evaluate configured user lists
internal/service/access_controls_rules.go, internal/service/access_controls_rules_test.go
The rule continues to the allow-list check when a user does not match the block list. When the allow list is empty, a configured block list results in an allow effect. Tests verify the outcomes when a user matches the block list, allow list, neither list, or both lists.

This change makes the user allow list apply even when a block list is also configured. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains from the supplied evidence.
