Closes #27
The issue involves securing the Sidekiq web interface which is currently mounted without authentication, posing a significant security risk. The current implementation in routes.rb exposes sensitive job data and administrative controls to anyone who knows the
/sidekiqURL.The solution implements a secure authentication system that leverages the existing user authentication infrastructure while adding admin-specific controls. Here's a detailed breakdown of the changes:
We retain the original
require "sidekiq/web"statement as Sidekiq's web interface is still needed.We add a new requirement for the SidekiqAdminConstraint class using
require_relative "../lib/sidekiq_admin_constraint". This constraint will handle the authentication logic.We replace the existing unsecured mount point:
with a secured version using constraints:
We remove the TODO comment since we're implementing the authentication.
The solution maintains the original routing structure while adding the security layer. It integrates with the existing authentication system (as evidenced by the session-based user tracking in ApplicationController) and supports the application's current auth patterns.
This change requires additional files (SidekiqAdminConstraint class) and database changes (admin boolean column) to be implemented as separate changes, but the routes.rb modification is the core security fix that prevents unauthorized access to the Sidekiq interface.
