Description

Returning ProcessACL to return an IAsyncEnumerable for deferred collection processing as it had been before.
This may help resolves issues of memory spikes.
Additionally, moving the aggregate property doesanyacegrantownerrights from the parent domain object and attaching to the ACE instead as IsPermissionForOwnerRightsSid as this is more reflective of an ACE's properties than of the parent.

Motivation and Context

Investigating a large memory spike https://bloodhoundhq.slack.com/archives/C20NG2L87/p1751305729336129

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added indicators to permission entries showing whether they correspond to owner rights and whether such permissions are inherited.
  • Refactor

    • Improved permission processing to stream results asynchronously, allowing more flexible and efficient handling of permission entries.

Walkthrough

The changes introduce two new boolean properties to the ACE class and refactor the ACL processing logic to use asynchronous streaming (IAsyncEnumerable<ACE>) instead of returning arrays or tuples. The Aces property in OutputBase is updated to accept any enumerable collection. Owner rights permission tracking is now per-ACE.

Changes

File(s) Change Summary
src/CommonLib/OutputTypes/ACE.cs Added IsPermissionForOwnerRightsSid and IsInheritedPermissionForOwnerRightsSid properties to ACE.
src/CommonLib/OutputTypes/OutputBase.cs Changed type of Aces property from ACE[] to IEnumerable<ACE>.
src/CommonLib/Processors/ACLProcessor.cs Refactored ProcessACL methods to use IAsyncEnumerable<ACE>, removed tuple returns, embedded owner rights flags in each ACE.

Poem

In the warren of code, permissions now stream,
Each ACE hops by with a flag and a gleam.
Owner rights tracked with a Boolean ear,
Async flows smooth, the intent is clear.
Arrays now enumerable, flexibility in tow—
A rabbit’s delight as the permissions grow!

17-37: Update Equals and GetHashCode methods to include new properties.

The new properties IsPermissionForOwnerRightsSid and IsInheritedPermissionForOwnerRightsSid are not included in the equality comparison or hash code calculation. This could lead to incorrect behavior when comparing ACE objects or using them in collections.

Apply this diff to include the new properties in equality and hash code calculations:

 protected bool Equals(ACE other) {
     return PrincipalSID == other.PrincipalSID && PrincipalType == other.PrincipalType &&
-           RightName == other.RightName && IsInherited == other.IsInherited;
+           RightName == other.RightName && IsInherited == other.IsInherited &&
+           IsPermissionForOwnerRightsSid == other.IsPermissionForOwnerRightsSid &&
+           IsInheritedPermissionForOwnerRightsSid == other.IsInheritedPermissionForOwnerRightsSid;
 }

 public override int GetHashCode() {
     unchecked {
         var hashCode = PrincipalSID != null ? PrincipalSID.GetHashCode() : 0;
         hashCode = (hashCode * 397) ^ (int)PrincipalType;
         hashCode = (hashCode * 397) ^ (RightName != null ? RightName.GetHashCode() : 0);
         hashCode = (hashCode * 397) ^ IsInherited.GetHashCode();
+        hashCode = (hashCode * 397) ^ IsPermissionForOwnerRightsSid.GetHashCode();
+        hashCode = (hashCode * 397) ^ IsInheritedPermissionForOwnerRightsSid.GetHashCode();
         return hashCode;
     }
 }

12-12: Good architectural choice for supporting async streaming.

Changing from ACE[] to IEnumerable<ACE> provides better flexibility and aligns well with the async enumerable pattern introduced in ACLProcessor. The initialization with Array.Empty<ACE>() is appropriate.

src/CommonLib/Processors/ACLProcessor.cs (2)

223-239: Well-implemented async enumerable pattern.

The conversion to IAsyncEnumerable<ACE> is properly implemented with appropriate use of AsyncEnumerable.Empty<ACE>() for empty results and proper forwarding to the core processing method.


301-342: Correct implementation of per-ACE owner rights tracking.

The logic properly identifies Owner Rights SIDs (ending with "S-1-3-4") and tracks both direct and inherited permissions using the new ACE properties. This successfully replaces the previous tuple-based approach.
