Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added an option to force Ansible Galaxy requirements installation using the --force flag, bypassing cached checks.
    • Added template and task settings to control forced installation, including whether tasks can override the template setting.
    • Added corresponding controls to Ansible task and template forms.
    • Tasks can now be started using either a template ID or template name; the ID takes precedence when both are provided.
  • Documentation

    • Updated API documentation and added English and Russian translations for the new settings.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds force-install parameters for Ansible Galaxy requirements, applies template and task precedence in the backend, bypasses cached checksum checks when enabled, supports template-name task input, and exposes the settings in API schemas and web forms.

Changes

Force Galaxy installation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Parameter contracts
db/Task.go, db/Template.go, api-docs.yml, web/public/swagger/api-docs.yml
Task and template models define force-install fields. API schemas expose the fields, update template task parameter references, and document template-name task input.
Backend installation flow
db_lib/AnsibleApp.go, db_lib/AnsibleApp_test.go
The backend resolves template and task precedence, passes force and extra arguments to roles and collections installation, and bypasses checksum checks when enabled. Tests cover precedence cases.
Web configuration controls
web/src/components/TaskParamsAnsibleForm.vue, web/src/components/TemplateForm.vue, web/src/lib/constants.js, web/src/lang/en.js, web/src/lang/ru.js
The forms expose force-install and override checkboxes. Field registration and translations support the controls. The template defaults and customization-count entries use inconsistent field names.

Security review — PR #4213

Outcome: No medium, high, or critical vulnerabilities found.

Reviewed the added/modified code for injection, authn/authz bypass, permission-boundary mistakes, unsafe deserialization, path traversal, SSRF, and related risks.

Scope reviewed

  • ForceGalaxyInstall / AllowOverrideForceGalaxyInstall template and task params
  • forceGalaxyInstall() override gating (mirrors existing skipGalaxyInstall() pattern)
  • Checksum bypass path in installGalaxyRequirementsFile()
  • UI exposure in TaskParamsAnsibleForm.vue / TemplateForm.vue
  • API docs updates

Key conclusions

  1. Authz: Task-level force_galaxy_install is honored only when allow_override_force_galaxy_install is enabled on the template — same gate as skip_galaxy_install. Sending the flag via API when override is disabled has no execution effect.
  2. Injection: ansible-galaxy is invoked via exec.Command with fixed subcommand args; requirements file paths are built from repository/playbook directory joins with static filenames — not attacker-controlled strings from request input.
  3. No new trust boundary: Users who can enable force install already hold template-admin or task-runner privileges within the existing Semaphore Ansible execution model.

No prior automation review threads were present on this PR.

🔵 Needs a closer look

The runner currently appends --force unconditionally during Galaxy installs, so the new force_galaxy_install toggle does not correctly control the --force behavior and can change default behavior unexpectedly.

Pull request overview

Adds a new Ansible parameter (force_galaxy_install) to control “forced” Galaxy requirements installation, wiring it through backend structs, runner install logic, UI template/task forms, i18n strings, and Swagger docs.

Changes:

  • Introduces force_galaxy_install + allow_override_force_galaxy_install in Ansible template/task params (Go + UI constants).
  • Updates Ansible requirements installation flow to support a “force” mode and adds unit tests for the template-vs-task precedence logic.
  • Extends i18n (EN/RU) and Swagger definitions to include the new parameter.
File summaries

  • installGalaxyRequirementsFile currently always appends --force when it decides to run ansible-galaxy install, even when the new force flag is false. This makes the force_galaxy_install template/task param misleading (and the UI hint --force won’t actually reflect the toggle). Consider only adding --force when force is true, and otherwise run without it while still using the checksum cache.

🔵 Needs a closer look

Forced installation can execute identical Galaxy requirement paths twice for root-level playbooks.

Review details

Suppressed comments (1)

Previously missed (1) — in code that hasn't changed since the last review.

db_lib/AnsibleApp.go:164

  • When force is enabled, bypassing the hash check also removes the existing deduplication for aliased candidate paths. For a common root-level playbook such as site.yml, GetPlaybookDir() equals getRepoPath(), so each role/collection requirements file is passed to ansible-galaxy twice for the same requirements type. Deduplicate the candidate paths per requirements type before invoking this helper (while still bypassing the persistent checksum once per unique path), and add a root-level-playbook regression test.

Security review — PR #4213

Outcome: No medium, high, or critical vulnerabilities found.

Re-validated prior automation assessment against the current synchronize head. No unresolved security-review inline threads from earlier runs.

Scope reviewed

  • ForceGalaxyInstall / AllowOverrideForceGalaxyInstall template and task params
  • forceGalaxyInstall() override gating (mirrors skipGalaxyInstall())
  • Checksum bypass in installGalaxyRequirementsFile()
  • ansible-galaxy invocation via RunGalaxy / exec.Command
  • UI exposure in TaskParamsAnsibleForm.vue / TemplateForm.vue

Key conclusions

  1. Authz: Task-level force_galaxy_install is honored only when allow_override_force_galaxy_install is enabled on the template (db_lib/AnsibleApp.go). Sending the flag via the task API when override is disabled is stored but has no execution effect — same pattern as skip_galaxy_install. Template-level flags require CanManageProjectResources.
  2. Injection: ansible-galaxy is invoked with exec.Command(command, args...) and fixed subcommand arguments; requirements paths are built from repository/playbook directory joins with static filenames (requirements.yml), not from raw request strings.
  3. No new trust boundary: Force install only increases how often existing Galaxy requirements are re-applied. Users who can enable it already hold template-admin or explicitly delegated task-runner privileges within the existing Ansible execution model.

Security review — PR #4213

Outcome: No medium, high, or critical vulnerabilities found.

Re-validated prior automation assessments against synchronize head 301e253. No unresolved security-review inline threads from earlier runs.

Scope reviewed

  • ForceGalaxyInstall / AllowOverrideForceGalaxyInstall template and task params
  • forceGalaxyInstall() override gating (mirrors existing skipGalaxyInstall())
  • Checksum bypass in installGalaxyRequirementsFile()
  • ansible-galaxy invocation via RunGalaxy / exec.Command (argument array, not shell)
  • UI exposure in TaskParamsAnsibleForm.vue / TemplateForm.vue
  • API schema updates

Key conclusions

  1. Authz: Task-level force_galaxy_install is honored only when allow_override_force_galaxy_install is enabled on the template; otherwise the template default applies. Direct API submission of task params cannot bypass this gate at runtime.
  2. Injection: Galaxy install paths are constructed from validated template/repo locations (ValidatePlaybookPath, fixed requirements.yml filenames). The new boolean does not introduce attacker-controlled command arguments.
  3. Galaxy args: Template galaxy_role_args / galaxy_collection_args remain validated via galaxy.ValidateInstallArgs() before execution.
  4. Integrity / availability: Forcing reinstall increases Galaxy network I/O but requires template configuration or an explicitly enabled override — same trust boundary as existing Ansible task controls.

827-833: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Initialize and count both force-install settings.

force_galaxy_install and allow_override_force_galaxy_install are rendered, but they are absent from galaxyCustomizedCount and galaxyDefaults. For templates whose API response lacks these new keys, Vue 2 adds them non-reactively through v-model. The Galaxy badge then does not update when a user enables either setting.

Outcome: No medium, high, or critical vulnerabilities found.

Re-validated prior automation assessments against synchronize head 9afc9dc. No unresolved security-review inline threads from earlier runs.

Scope reviewed

Added/modified paths: db/Task.go, db/Template.go, db_lib/AnsibleApp.go, API schema, and Vue task/template forms.

Findings validation

Area Result
Authz / permission boundary Task-level force_galaxy_install is honored only when allow_override_force_galaxy_install is set on the template (forceGalaxyInstall in db_lib/AnsibleApp.go). Matches the existing skip_galaxy_install gate. Task creation requires auth + CanRunProjectTasks + template permissions.
Injection force is a bool; requirements paths are server-constructed fixed filenames under the playbook/repo dirs. ansible-galaxy is invoked via exec with discrete argv (AnsiblePlaybook.runCmd). No attacker-controlled shell metacharacters.
SSRF / path traversal No new network targets or filesystem escapes; force only bypasses the checksum cache for the same pre-existing Galaxy install paths.
XSS / secrets UI uses standard Vue bindings; log lines include only constructed paths, not user-supplied secrets.
Supply chain --force reinstall behavior is intentional and limited to project members who can configure templates or launch tasks with override enabled.

No new inline finding comments — prior automation security threads remain fully addressed.
