From 489f01098607bd03f6622c22b9d9fe1d83641982 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: nanookclaw Date: Tue, 31 Mar 2026 02:14:25 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] fix(registry): make owner Signer to prevent update_field privilege escalation MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Fixes #4: register_agent failed with 'signer privilege escalated' when owner != payer and additional_metadata was non-empty. Root cause: spl_token_metadata_interface::instruction::update_field marks the update_authority (owner) as a required signer: AccountMeta::new_readonly(*update_authority, true) The previous UncheckedAccount<'info> for owner had is_signer = false, so the Solana runtime rejected the CPI with: Cross-program invocation with unauthorized signer or writable account Fix: Change owner from UncheckedAccount<'info> to Signer<'info>. The update_authority is always the owner (set in step 2f initialize_metadata), so requiring owner to sign is semantically correct — they are authorising the registration of their own agent NFT. Client behaviour (unchanged for common case): - owner == payer: pass payer pubkey for both accounts; no extra signer - owner != payer: include owner as an additional signer in the transaction Tests added: - test_register_agent_owner_not_payer_metadata_key_too_long_correct_error: verifies owner != payer + metadata reaches validation (not signer bug) - test_register_agent_owner_equals_payer_metadata_key_too_long_correct_error: verifies owner == payer path still works after the Signer change --- .../instructions/registry/register_agent.rs | 11 +- .../sati/tests/registry/register_agent.rs | 149 ++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 157 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/programs/sati/src/instructions/registry/register_agent.rs b/programs/sati/src/instructions/registry/register_agent.rs index fdc1ed9..0cfba75 100644 --- a/programs/sati/src/instructions/registry/register_agent.rs +++ b/programs/sati/src/instructions/registry/register_agent.rs @@ -25,9 +25,14 @@ pub struct RegisterAgent<'info> { #[account(mut)] pub payer: Signer<'info>, - /// Agent NFT owner (default: payer) - /// CHECK: Can be any valid pubkey - pub owner: UncheckedAccount<'info>, + /// Agent NFT owner (default: payer). + /// Must sign when `owner != payer` so that `update_field` CPIs for + /// `additional_metadata` entries are authorised.
