docs(design): add security isolation model — zero cross-user access
- Full container, volume, and DB-level isolation per user - API enforcement: all queries scoped by authenticated userId - Admins cannot see other users' keys or chat history - Container-to-container communication blocked by default - Team workspaces explicitly out of scope

## Security Isolation Model
|
||||
|
||||
### Core Principle: ZERO cross-user access
|
||||
|
||||
Every user is fully sandboxed. No exceptions.
|
||||
|
||||
### Container Isolation
|
||||
|
||||
- Each user gets their **own** OpenClaw container (separate process, PID namespace)
|
||||
- Each container has its **own** Docker volume (sessions, memory, workspace)
|
||||
- Containers run on an **internal-only** Docker network — no external exposure
|
||||
- Users NEVER talk to OpenClaw directly — Mosaic proxies all requests
|
||||
- Container gateway tokens are unique per-user and single-purpose
|
||||
|
||||
### Data Isolation (enforced at API + DB level)
|
||||
|
||||
| Data | Isolation | Enforcement |
|
||||
| ---------------- | ------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
||||
| LLM API keys | Per-user, encrypted | `LlmProvider.userId` — all queries scoped by authenticated user |
|
||||
| Chat history | Per-user container volume | Separate Docker volume per user, not shared |
|
||||
| Agent memory | Per-user container volume | Separate Docker volume per user |
|
||||
| Agent config | Per-user | `UserAgentConfig.userId` — scoped queries |
|
||||
| Container access | Per-user | `UserContainer.userId` — Mosaic validates user owns the container before proxying |
|
||||
|
||||
### API Enforcement
|
||||
|
||||
- **All user-facing endpoints** include `WHERE userId = authenticatedUser.id`
|
||||
- **No admin endpoint** exposes another user's API keys (even to admins)
|
||||
- **Chat proxy** validates: authenticated user → owns target container → forwards request
|
||||
- **Config endpoint** validates: container token matches the container requesting config
|
||||
- **Provider CRUD** is fully user-scoped — User A cannot list, read, or modify User B's providers
|
||||
|
||||
### What admins CAN see
|
||||
|
||||
- Container status (running/stopped) — not contents
|
||||
- User list and roles
|
||||
- System-level config (OIDC, system agents)
|
||||
- Aggregate usage metrics (not individual conversations)
|
||||
|
||||
### What admins CANNOT see
|
||||
|
||||
- Other users' API keys (encrypted, no decrypt endpoint)
|
||||
- Other users' chat history (in container volumes, not in Mosaic DB)
|
||||
- Other users' agent memory/workspace contents
|
||||
|
||||
### Future: Team Workspaces (NOT in scope)
|
||||
|
||||
Team/shared workspaces are a potential future feature where users opt-in to
|
||||
shared agent contexts. This requires explicit consent, shared-key management,
|
||||
and a different isolation model. **Not designed here. Not built now.**
|
||||
|
||||
### Attack Surface Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- Docker socket access (`/var/run/docker.sock`) is required by Mosaic API for container management. This is a privileged operation — the Mosaic API container must be trusted.
|
||||
- `MOSAIC_SECRET_KEY` is the root of trust for encryption. Rotation requires re-encrypting all secrets in DB.
|
||||
- Container-to-container communication is blocked by default (no shared network between user containers unless explicitly configured).
