This release contains a mix of features, bugfixes and necessary tooling and test changes required to support the upcoming OPA 1.0 release.

Inter-Query Value Cache (#6908)

OPA now has a new inter-query value cache added to the SDK. It is intended to be used for values that are expensive to
compute and can be reused across multiple queries. The cache can be leveraged by built-in functions to store values
that otherwise aren't appropriate for the existing inter-query cache; for instance when the entry size isn't an
appropriate or primary limiting factor for cache eviction.

The default size of the inter-query value cache is unbounded, but can be configured via the
caching.inter_query_builtin_value_cache.max_num_entries configuration field. OPA will drop random items from the cache
if this limit is exceeded.

The cache is used by the regex and glob built-in functions, which previously had individual, non-configurable
caches with a max entry size of 100 each.

Currently, the cache is only exercised when running OPA in server mode (ie. opa run -s). Also this feature is unsupported
for WASM.

Breaking Changes

entrypoint annotation implies document scope (#6798)

The entrypoint annotation's scope requirement has changed from rule to document (https://github.com/open-policy-agent/opa/issues/6798). Furthermore, if no scope annotation is declared for a METADATA block preceding a rule, the presence of an entrypoint annotation with a true value will assign the block a document scope, where the rule scope is otherwise the default.

In practice, a rule entrypoint always point to the entire document and not a particular rule definition. The previous behavior was a bug, and one we've now addressed.

    Note that the flag is now unnecessary, but it's kept so existing calls like opa exec -fjson ... remain valid.

Security Fix: CVE-2024-8260 (#6933)

This release includes a fix where OPA would accept UNC locations on Windows. Reading those could leak NTLM hashes.
The attack vector would include an adversary tricking the user in passing an UNC path to OPA, e.g. opa eval -d $FILE.
UNC paths are now forbidden. If this is an issue for you, please reach out on Slack or GitHub issues.

  • util+server: Fix bug around chunked request handling (#6906) authored by @philipaconrad, reported by @David-Wobrock. A request handling bug was introduced in (#6868), which caused OPA to treat all incoming chunked requests as if they had zero-length request bodies.

Breaking Change

Request Body Size Limits

OPA now automatically rejects very large requests (#6868) authored by @philipaconrad.
Requests with a Content-Length larger than 128 MB uncompressed, and gzipped requests with payloads that decompress to
larger than 256 MB will be rejected, as part of hardening OPA against denial-of-service attacks. Previously, a large
enough request could cause an OPA instance to run out of memory in low-memory sidecar deployment scenarios, just from
attempting to read the request body into memory.

These changes allow improvements in memory usage for the OPA HTTP server, and help OPA deployments avoid some accidental out-of-memory situations.

For most users, no changes will be needed to continue using OPA. However, to control this behavior, two new configuration
keys are available: server.decoding.max_length and server.decoding.gzip.max_length. These control the max size in
bytes to allow for an incoming request payload, and the maximum size in bytes to allow for a decompressed gzip request payload, respectively.

Here's an example OPA configuration using the new keys:

# Set max request size to 64 MB and max gzip size (decompressed) to be 128 MB.
server:
  decoding:
    max_length: 67108864
    gzip:
      max_length: 134217728

Improved Test Reports (#2546)

The opa test command now includes a new --var-values flag that enriches reporting of failed tests with the values and locations for variables in the failing expression.
E.g.:

FAILURES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
data.test.test_my_policy: FAIL (0ms)

  test.rego:8:
    	x == y + z
    	|    |   |
    	|    |   3
    	|    y + z: 5
    	|    y: 2
    	1

SUMMARY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
test.rego:
data.test.test_foo: FAIL (0ms)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FAIL: 1/1

Reading stdin in opa exec (#6538)

The opa exec command now supports reading input documents from stdin with the --stdin-input (-I) flag.
E.g.:

$ echo '{"user": "alice"}' | opa exec --stdin-input --bundle my_bundle

Breaking changes

A new IsSetStmt statement has been added to the intermediate representation (IR).
This is a breaking change for custom IR evaluators, which must interpret this statement in IR plans generated by this OPA version and later.
No actions are required for Wasm users, as long as Wasm modules are built by this OPA version or later.

Breaking Change

Bootstrap configuration overrides Discovered configuration

Previously if Discovery was enabled, other features like bundle downloading and status reporting could not be configured manually.
The reason for this was to prevent OPAs being deployed that could not be controlled through discovery. It's possible that
the system serving the discovered config is unaware of all options locally available in OPA. Hence, we relax the configuration
check when discovery is enabled so that the bootstrap configuration can contain plugin configurations. In case of conflicts,
the bootstrap configuration for plugins wins. These local configuration overrides from the bootstrap configuration are included
in the Status API messages so that management systems can get visibility into the local overrides.

In general, the bootstrap configuration overrides the discovered configuration. Previously this was not the case for all
configuration fields. For example, if the discovered configuration changes the labels section, only labels that are
additional compared to the bootstrap configuration are used, all other changes are ignored. This implies labels in the
bootstrap configuration override those in the discovered configuration. But for fields such as default_decision, default_authorization_decision,
nd_builtin_cache, the discovered configuration would override the bootstrap configuration. Now the behavior is more consistent
for the entire configuration and helps to avoid accidental configuration errors. (#5722) authored by @ashutosh-narkar

Add rego_version attribute to the bundle manifest

A new global rego_version attribute is added to the bundle manifest, to inform the OPA runtime about what Rego version (v0/v1) to
use while parsing/compiling contained Rego files. There is also a new file_rego_versions attribute which allows individual
files to override the global Rego version specified by rego_version.

When the version of the contained Rego is advertised by the bundle through this attribute, it is not required to run OPA with the
--v1-compatible (or future --v0-compatible) flag in order to correctly parse, compile and evaluate the bundle's modules.

A bundle's rego_version attribute takes precedence over any applied --v1-compatible/--v0-compatible flag. (#6578) authored by @johanfylling

v0.62.1

This is a security fix release for the fixes published in Go 1.22.1.

OPA servers using --authentication=tls would be affected: crafted malicious client certificates could cause a panic in the server.

Also, crafted server certificates could panic OPA's HTTP clients, in bundle plugin, status and decision logs; and http.send calls that verify TLS.

This is CVE-2024-24783 (https://pkg.go.dev/vuln/GO-2024-2598).

Note that there are other security fixes in this Golang release, but whether or not OPA is affected is harder to assess. An update is advised.
