# Task 10: Fix VoicePrint Resource Exhaustion via Unbounded Audio Upload ## Vulnerability The VoicePrint module was vulnerable to resource exhaustion attacks through unbounded audio uploads. An attacker with a valid account could: 1. **Memory exhaustion**: Upload extremely large audio files, causing the server to allocate massive intermediate buffers during audio preprocessing (Float64Array + Int16Array + Buffer = 8x+ input size) 2. **Disk exhaustion**: Upload unlimited audio files with no per-user storage quota, filling the disk 3. **CPU exhaustion**: Submit unlimited analysis/enrollment requests with no rate limiting, consuming CPU for audio preprocessing and Azure API calls 4. **Enrollment table bloat**: Create unlimited voice enrollments with no per-user cap ## Attack Vectors - `POST /voiceprint/createEnrollment` — No rate limit, no enrollment count cap - `POST /voiceprint/enrollAdditionalSample` — No rate limit - `POST /voiceprint/analyzeAudio` — No rate limit on memory-intensive analysis - `POST /voiceprint/analyzeCallRecording` — No rate limit - `saveAudio()` — No deduplication, no storage quota check - `preprocessAudio()` — No input size limit, no duration validation from header ## Fixes Implemented ### 1. Rate Limiting (`voiceprint.service.ts`) Added rate limiting using the existing `memory` tier (10 requests/hour per user) to all audio upload endpoints: - `createEnrollment` — Rate limited before enrollment count check - `enrollAdditionalSample` — Rate limited before enrollment lookup - `analyzeAudio` — Rate limited after access check but before processing - `analyzeCallRecording` — Rate limited after access check ### 2. Per-User Enrollment Limit (`voiceprint.service.ts`) Added `VOICEPRINT_MAX_ENROLLMENTS` env var (default: 5) to cap active enrollments per user. `createEnrollment` now checks the count before proceeding. ### 3. Per-User Storage Quota (`storage.ts`) - Added `VOICEPRINT_MAX_USER_STORAGE_BYTES` env var (default: 50MB) - Added `getUserStorageUsage(userId)` to calculate total disk usage - Added `checkStorageQuota(userId, fileSizeBytes)` to enforce quota before writes - `saveAudio` now checks quota before writing new files ### 4. Audio Deduplication (`storage.ts`) `saveAudio` now: - Computes SHA-256 hash of input - Checks if file with same hash already exists - Returns `isNew: false` if file exists (skips write) - Returns `isNew: true` if file is new This prevents redundant storage and CPU waste from duplicate uploads. ### 5. Input Size Validation (`audio.processor.ts`) Added `VOICEPRINT_MAX_INPUT_BYTES` env var (default: 5MB) to reject oversized WAV files before any processing. Error message includes suggested action. ### 6. Duration Validation from Header (`audio.processor.ts`) Before allocating sample buffers, the processor now: - Parses WAV header to extract duration - Rejects files exceeding `MAX_DURATION_SEC + 30` (60s total) - This prevents loading multi-hour WAV files into memory ### 7. Storage Usage in Stats (`voiceprint.service.ts`) `getUsageStats` now returns `storageUsedBytes` and `storageUsedMB` so users can monitor their disk usage. ## Configuration All limits are configurable via environment variables: | Variable | Default | Description | |----------|---------|-------------| | `VOICEPRINT_MAX_BASE64_LENGTH` | 2621440 (~2.6MB) | Max base64 string length (schema-level) | | `VOICEPRINT_MAX_DECODED_SIZE` | 2097152 (2MB) | Max decoded buffer size | | `VOICEPRINT_MAX_INPUT_BYTES` | 5242880 (5MB) | Max raw WAV file size | | `VOICEPRINT_MAX_USER_STORAGE_BYTES` | 52428800 (50MB) | Per-user disk storage quota | | `VOICEPRINT_MAX_ENROLLMENTS` | 5 | Max active enrollments per user | Rate limiting uses the existing `memory` tier: 10 requests per hour per user (via Redis sliding window). ## Files Modified - `web/src/server/services/voiceprint.service.ts` — Rate limiting, enrollment limits, storage stats - `web/src/server/services/voiceprint/storage.ts` — Storage quota, deduplication, usage tracking - `web/src/server/services/voiceprint/audio.processor.ts` — Input size limit, duration validation - `web/src/server/services/voiceprint.service.test.ts` — Tests for all new protections - `web/src/server/services/voiceprint/storage.test.ts` — Tests for quota and deduplication - `web/src/server/services/voiceprint/audio.processor.test.ts` — Tests for size/duration validation ## Defense in Depth The fix implements multiple layers of protection: 1. **Schema-level** (valibot): `MAX_BASE64_LENGTH` rejects oversized base64 at request parsing 2. **Service-level**: `validateDecodedSize` checks decoded buffer size before allocation 3. **Processor-level**: `MAX_INPUT_BYTES` rejects large WAV files, header duration check rejects long audio 4. **Storage-level**: Quota check before disk write, deduplication prevents redundant storage 5. **Rate limiting**: Redis-based sliding window prevents rapid-fire requests 6. **Enrollment cap**: Prevents unlimited enrollment creation
