Summary
### Summary On a multi-tenant stigmem node, a tenant administrator could list, read, and **admit or reject** quarantined facts belonging to **other** tenants. The list/count queries and `_get_quarantined_fact` in `routes/quarantine.py` lacked an `f.tenant_id = identity.tenant_id` predicate, and the garden lookup was not tenant-scoped — reached via the `/v1/quarantine` list and admit/reject endpoints. ### Impact Cross-tenant confidentiality (reading another tenant's quarantined content) and cross-tenant integrity (moderating — admitting or rejecting — another tenant's facts), gated only by a plain tenant `write` capability rather than a node-level admin authority. ### Affected configurations This is a cross-**tenant** break. It is exploitable **only** on deployments running the opt-in `stigmem-plugin-multi-tenant` (multiple tenants on one node). A default single-tenant node has only `tenant="default"` — there is no second tenant to cross — so it is **not exploitable** on default deployments. The rating is HIGH for the multi-tenant deployments the plugin exists to isolate. ### Patches Fixed in `0.9.0a12` (PR #728): `AND f.tenant_id = identity.tenant_id` was added to the list/count queries and `_get_quarantined_fact`; the garden lookup is now tenant-scoped; and any genuinely cross-tenant moderation is gated behind `can_admin_federation()` (node superadmin), not a tenant `write` capability. A tenant-B admin can no longer list, admit, or reject tenant-A's quarantined facts. ### Workarounds None other than upgrading to `0.9.0a12`. Single-tenant deployments are unaffected.
