It's fairly orthogonal, but it has some impact on relocatability: You
can only relocate to a schema name that does not exist yet (while
currently you can only relocate to a schema that already exists). This
is because, for owned_schema=true, relocation is not actually changing
the schema of the extension objects, it only renames the existing
schema to the new name.

Correct: **safe** is the key word in that sentence. Without
owned_schema, you get an **unsafe** search_path by default unless you
go out of your way to set "schema=pg_catalog" in the control file.

That would be nice for sure, but security wise it doesn't matter
afaict. Only the creator of the extension would be able to add stuff
in the extension-owned schema anyway, so there's no privilege
escalation concern there.

Adjusting existing extensions would be hard at the moment, because the
current patch does not introduce a migration path. But basically I
think for most new extension installs (even of existing extensions) it
would be fine if owned_schema=true would be the default. I didn't
propose (yet) to make it the default though, to avoid discussing the
tradeoff of security vs breaking installation for an unknown amount of
existing extensions.

I think having a generic migration path would be hard, due to the many
ways in which extensions can now be installed. But I think we might be
able to add one fairly easily for relocatable extensions: e.g. "ALTER
EXTESION SET SCHEMA new_schema OWNED_SCHEMA", which would essentially
do CREATE SCHEMA new_schema + move all objects from old_schema to
new_schema. And even for non-relocatable one you could do something
like:

CREATE SCHEMA temp_schema_{random_id};
-- move all objects from ext_schema to temp_schema_{random_id};
DROP SCHEMA ext_schema; -- if this fails, ext_schema was not empty
ALTER SCHEMA temp_schema_{random_id} RENAME TO ext_schema;

Some extensions depend on putting stuff into the public schema. But
yeah it would be best if they didn't.

Yeah, this proposal definitely doesn't solve all security problems
with extensions. And indeed what you're proposing would solve another
major issue, another option would be to default to the "safe"
search_path that you proposed a while back. But yeah I agree that it's
outside of the scope of this proposal. I feel like if we try to solve
every security problem at once, probably nothing gets solved instead.
That's why I tried to keep this proposal very targeted, i.e. have this
be step 1 of an N step plan to make extensions more secure by default.

Attached is an updated version of this patch that fixes a few issues
that CI reported (autoconf, compiler warnings and broken docs).

I also think I changed the pg_upgrade to do the correct thing, but I'm
not sure how to test this (even manually). Because part of it would
only be relevant once we support upgrading from PG18. So for now the
upgrade_code I haven't actually run.

Subject: [PATCH v2] Add support for extensions with an owned schema

Writing the sql migration scripts that are run by CREATE EXTENSION and
ALTER EXTENSION UPDATE are security minefields for extension authors.
One big reason for this is that search_path is set to the schema of the
extension while running these scripts, and thus if a user with lower
privileges can create functions or operators in that schema they can do
all kinds of search_path confusion attacks if not every function and
operator that is used in the script is schema qualified. While doing
such schema qualification is possible, it relies on the author to never
make a mistake in any of the sql files. And sadly humans have a tendency
to make mistakes.

This patch adds a new "owned_schema" option to the extension control
file that can be set to true to indicate that this extension wants to
own the schema in which it is installed. What that means is that the
schema should not exist before creating the extension, and will be
created during extension creation. This thus gives the extension author
an easy way to use a safe search_path, while still allowing all objects
to be grouped together in a schema. The implementation also has the
pleasant side effect that the schema will be automatically dropped when
the extension is dropped.

Does it apply against v16?  If so, branch off there, apply it, then upgrade
from the v16 branch to master.

I realized it's possible to do an "upgrade" with pg_upgrade from v17
to v17. So I was able to test both the pre and post PG18 upgrade logic
manually by changing the version in this line:

if (fout->remoteVersion >= 180000)

As expected the new pg_upgrade code was severely broken. Attached is a
new patch where the pg_upgrade code now actually works.

Subject: [PATCH v3] Add support for extensions with an owned schema

Writing the sql migration scripts that are run by CREATE EXTENSION and
ALTER EXTENSION UPDATE are security minefields for extension authors.
One big reason for this is that search_path is set to the schema of the
extension while running these scripts, and thus if a user with lower
privileges can create functions or operators in that schema they can do
all kinds of search_path confusion attacks if not every function and
operator that is used in the script is schema qualified. While doing
such schema qualification is possible, it relies on the author to never
make a mistake in any of the sql files. And sadly humans have a tendency
to make mistakes.

This patch adds a new "owned_schema" option to the extension control
file that can be set to true to indicate that this extension wants to
own the schema in which it is installed. What that means is that the
schema should not exist before creating the extension, and will be
created during extension creation. This thus gives the extension author
an easy way to use a safe search_path, while still allowing all objects
to be grouped together in a schema. The implementation also has the
pleasant side effect that the schema will be automatically dropped when
the extension is dropped.

Hi,

I've spent a bit of time looking at this patch. It seems there's a clear
consensus that having "owned schemas" for extensions would be good for
security. To me it also seems as a convenient way to organize stuff. It
was possible to create extensions in a separate schema before, ofc, but
that's up to the DBA. With this the extension author to enforce that.

One thing that's not quite clear to me is what's the correct way for
existing extensions to switch to an "owned schema". Let's say you have
an extension. How do you transition to this? Can you just add it to the
control file and then some magic happens?

A couple minor comments:


1) doc/src/sgml/extend.sgml

  An extension is <firstterm>owned_schema</firstterm> if it requires a
  new dedicated schema for its objects. Such a requirement can make
  security concerns related to <literal>search_path</literal> injection
  much easier to reason about. The default is <literal>false</literal>,
  i.e., the extension can be installed into an existing schema.

Doesn't "extension is owned_schema" sound a bit weird? I'd probably say
"extension may own a schema" or something like that.

Also, "requires a new dedicated schema" is a bit ambiguous. It's not
clear if it means the schema is expected to exist, or if it creates the
schema itself.

And perhaps it should clarify what "much easier to reason about" means.
That's pretty vague, and as a random extension author I wouldn't know
about the risks to consider. Maybe there's a section about this stuff
that we could reference?


2) doc/src/sgml/ref/create_extension.sgml

  relocated.  The named schema must already exist if the extension's
  control file does not specify <literal>owned_schema</literal>.

Seems a bit unclear, I'd say having "owned_schema = false" in the
control file still qualifies as "specifies owned_schema". So might be
better to say it needs to be set to true?

Also, perhaps "dedicated_schema" would be better than "owned_schema"? I
mean, the point is not that it's "owned" by the extension, but that
there's nothing else in it. But that's nitpicking.


3) src/backend/commands/extension.c

I'm not sure why AlterExtensionNamespace moves the privilege check. Why
should it not check the privilege for owned schema too?


4) src/bin/pg_dump/pg_dump.c

checkExtensionMembership has typo "owned_schem".

Shouldn't binary_upgrade_extension_member still set ext=NULL in the for
loop, the way the original code does that?

The long if conditions might need some indentation, I guess. pgindent
leaves them like this, but 100 columns seems a bit too much. I'd do a
line break after each condition, I guess.

Sadly no. As currently implemented this feature can only really be
used by new extensions. There is no upgrade path to it for existing
extensions. This is fairly common btw, the only field in the control
file that ever gets used after the taken from the control file for
ALTER EXTENSION is the version field. e.g. if you change the schema
field in the control file of an already installed extension, the
extension will not be moved to the new schema unless you DROP + CREATE
EXTENSION.

After this message I tried messing around a bit with changing an
existing extension to become an owned schema (either with a new
command or as part of ALTER EXTENSION UPDATE). But it's not as trivial
as I hoped for a few reasons:
1. There are multiple states that extensions are currently in all of
which need somewhat different conversion strategies. Specifically:
relocatable/non-relocatable &
schema=pg_catalog/public/actual_extension_schema.
2. There are two important assumptions on the schema for an
owned_schema, which we would need to check on an existing schema
converting it:
   a. The owner of the extension should be the owner of the schema
   b. There are no other objects in the schema appart from the extension.

I'll probably continue some efforts to allow for migration, because I
agree it's useful. But I don't think it's critical for this feature to
be committable. Even if this can only be used by new extensions (that
target PG18+ only), I think that would already be very useful. i.e. if
in 5 years time I don't have to worry about these security pitfalls
for any new extensions that I write then I'll be very happy. Also if
an extension really wants to upgrade to an owned schema, then that
should be possible by doing some manual catalog hackery in its
extension update script, because that's effectively what any automatic
conversion would also do.

Updated the docs to address all of your feedback I think.

I agree that's probably a better name. Given the amount of effort
necessary to update everything I haven't done that yet. I'll think a
bit if there's a name I like even better in the meantime, and I'm
definitely open to other suggestions.

Because for an owned schema we're not creating objects in an existing
schema. We're only renaming the schema that the extension is already
in using RenameSchema, so there's no point in checking if the user can
create objects in that schema, since the objects are already there.
(RenameSchema also checks internally if the current user is the owner
of the schema)

I don't think that's necessary. It was necessary before to set extobj
to NULL, because that variable was set every loop. But now extobj is
scoped to the loop, and ext is only set right before the break. So
either we set ext in the loop and break out of the loop right away, or
ext is still set to the NULL value that's was assigned at the top of
the function.

Done

Subject: [PATCH v4] Add support for extensions with an owned schema

Writing the sql migration scripts that are run by CREATE EXTENSION and
ALTER EXTENSION UPDATE are security minefields for extension authors.
One big reason for this is that search_path is set to the schema of the
extension while running these scripts, and thus if a user with lower
privileges can create functions or operators in that schema they can do
all kinds of search_path confusion attacks if not every function and
operator that is used in the script is schema qualified. While doing
such schema qualification is possible, it relies on the author to never
make a mistake in any of the sql files. And sadly humans have a tendency
to make mistakes.

This patch adds a new "owned_schema" option to the extension control
file that can be set to true to indicate that this extension wants to
own the schema in which it is installed. What that means is that the
schema should not exist before creating the extension, and will be
created during extension creation. This thus gives the extension author
an easy way to use a safe search_path, while still allowing all objects
to be grouped together in a schema. The implementation also has the
pleasant side effect that the schema will be automatically dropped when
the extension is dropped.

Hello Jelte,

I reviewed your patch. Overall it looks good, I didn't find any problems
with code. Documentation is in place and clear.

Initial Run
===========
The patch applies cleanly to HEAD (196063d6761). All tests successfully
pass.

Comments
===========
1) I noticed that pg_dump changes weren't covered with tests.

2) I assume these error messages may be confusing, especially first one:

> -- Fails for an already existing schema to be provided
> CREATE EXTENSION test_ext_owned_schema SCHEMA test_ext_owned_schema;
> ERROR:  schema "test_ext_owned_schema" already exists
> -- Fails because a different schema is set in control file
> CREATE EXTENSION test_ext_owned_schema SCHEMA test_schema;
> ERROR:  extension "test_ext_owned_schema" must be installed in schema
> "test_ext_owned_schema"


In both cases it's not clear that the extension requires schema ownership.
Can hint messages be added there?

Dear Jelte,

I like the idea! In fact, I was thinking about the general search_path
confusion issue in Postgres (see also [1]), and what the root cause is.
IMHO, some search paths should always take priority - e.g., if a function
is defined in both pg_catalog and as a UDF, the UDF should only be called
if it is fully qualified, regardless of what the search_path is. But that
would require an overhaul of the Postgres resolution mechanism, and is out
of the scope of this patch.

For this patch, I have a few suggestions:

(a) The patch affects DROP EXTENSION in that it drops the schema as well,
if it's owned by the extension. This needs to be mentioned in the
documentation. In addition, an extra confirmation (e.g., "This will drop
schema nnnn as well, do you wish to continue?") when dropping the extension
might be desired, as the extension schema could contain user data (e.g.,
pg_cron keeps the jobs and their execution details).

(b) From the patch description:
> Writing the sql migration scripts that are run by CREATE EXTENSION
> and ALTER EXTENSION UPDATE are security minefields for extension authors.

While "ALTER EXTENSION UPDATE" is mentioned as a minefield, the patch does
not fix it (only ALTER EXTENSION ... SET SCHEMA is affected AFAICS). A
possible remedy could be that, before the update, the extension makes sure
no (sensitive?) object (e.g., UDF/Operator) created by a non-superuser
exists in its schema.


(c) Does it make sense to add the "owned_schema" option to the CREATE
EXTENSION command? Something like:

CREATE EXTENSION xyz
WITH owned_schema=true

This way, even if the extension itself is not (yet) updated to have
owned_schema in its control file, the DBA can rely on the schema lifecycle
management that comes with owned_schema=true. An alternative could be to
have it by default true (security by default), and if the DBA doesn't want
it for whatever reason, they have to explicitly set it to false during CREATE
EXTENSION.

(d) As David (Wheeler) mentioned in the thread, an extension control file
can have the "requires" field, in which an extension X installation depends
on other extensions Y & Z to be installed. I was thinking if X calls a
function from Y during installation, and Y does not have owned_schema, the
search_path confusion attack can be transitively applied. It could make
sense that X refuses to install, unless both Y & Z (= all required
extensions) are marked as owned_schema=true. Although in favor of backwards
compatibility, this can be overridable by an option in CREATE EXTENSION,
such as "WITH transitive_owned_schema=false".

SQL isn’t interactive in this sense.  There isn’t a way to ask “are you
sure?”.  At best the server can refuse to do something unless additional
options, like “force/cascade” are present in the command.

You're absolutely right about the lack of interactivity. I'd still go with
your suggestion of using something along the lines of cascade/force, as
dropping the schema silently can potentially delete the user data.

Bests,

This is already covered by docs for DROP EXTENSION:
"Dropping an extension causes its member objects <snip> to be dropped as well.

An extra confirmation or requiring of CASCADE seems unnecessary. The
schema itself will not contain user objects (that's entirely the point
of this change). It indeed might contain tables from the extension,
that contain user data, but that's no difference from extension
creating tables in other schemas. The only thing that will
additionally get removed for owned_schema extensions is the empty
schema that contained all of the other objects, that would normally be
removed.

A possible remedy could be that, before the update, the extension makes sure no (sensitive?) object (e.g., UDF/Operator) created by a non-superuser exists in its schema.

The whole security issue comes from the fact that the schema that an
extension gets installed in might be owned by a low-privileged user.
By having the schema be created by (and thus be owned by) the
extension creator, this whole problem goes away.

I don't think that's a good idea. Since the migration script behaviour
can change significantly, I don't think it's safe to allow people to
specify it in CREATE EXTENSION. Especially because then people would
likely also be able to set it to false.

> An alternative could be to have it by default true (security by default), and if the DBA doesn't want it for whatever reason, they have to explicitly set it to false during CREATE EXTENSION.

I think changing the default would probably be good. Extension authors
can then explicitly opt-in to the less secure option if they require
that. I didn't want to do that for the initial change, as this seems
probably more contentious than adding a new option.

> (d) As David (Wheeler) mentioned in the thread, an extension control file can have the "requires" field, in which an extension X installation depends on other extensions Y & Z to be installed.

Although in favor of backwards compatibility, this can be overridable by an option in CREATE EXTENSION, such as "WITH transitive_owned_schema=false".

I think it's fine to depend on extensions without owned_schema as an
owned_schema extension. It's not as if it's impossible to write safe
extension scripts now, it's just quite hard. An extension author can
choose to use owned_schema, to make their own life easier when writing
those scripts, but they can still depend on a perfectly safe extension
that did not use owned_schema but correctly hardened its extension
migration scripts.

Subject: [PATCH v5] Add support for extensions with an owned schema

Writing the sql migration scripts that are run by CREATE EXTENSION and
ALTER EXTENSION UPDATE are security minefields for extension authors.
One big reason for this is that search_path is set to the schema of the
extension while running these scripts, and thus if a user with lower
privileges can create functions or operators in that schema they can do
all kinds of search_path confusion attacks if not every function and
operator that is used in the script is schema qualified. While doing
such schema qualification is possible, it relies on the author to never
make a mistake in any of the sql files. And sadly humans have a tendency
to make mistakes.

This patch adds a new "owned_schema" option to the extension control
file that can be set to true to indicate that this extension wants to
own the schema in which it is installed. What that means is that the
schema should not exist before creating the extension, and will be
created during extension creation. This thus gives the extension author
an easy way to use a safe search_path, while still allowing all objects
to be grouped together in a schema. The implementation also has the
pleasant side effect that the schema will be automatically dropped when
the extension is dropped.

I generally like the direction that this is going but there are places
where the new stuff looks too much like it was bolted onto whatever
was there already. It's important to go back and edit things so that
they look natural, as if the new feature had been present all along.

This reads awkwardly, at least to me. The smallest possible edit that
would make it passable for me is to replace "the" with "in which
case," but possibly the whole sentence should be rephrased somehow.

This could be made clearer.

  }

+ else if (control->owned_schema)
+ {
+ ereport(ERROR,
+ (errcode(ERRCODE_UNDEFINED_SCHEMA),
+ errmsg("no schema has been selected to create in")));
+ }
+ else

It certainly seems worth asking whether this if-nest should be
rephrased in some way to make it clearer. But even if it's best to
keep it as it is, I find the absence of comments hard to justify. Who
is going to read the bit that emits "no schema has been selected to
create in" and find that self-explanatory?

I would like to see some improvements in AlterExtensionNamespace. In
the context of the patch, it's possible to puzzle out what is
happening, but I think the picture is not going to be clear to later
readers. It seems to me that this either needs some restructuring to
make the logical flow clearer, or a few well-written comments.

Another thing that's occurring to me here is that nothing prevents
other objects from making their way into the owned schema. Sure, if we
create a new schema with nobody having any permissions, then only the
creating role or some role that has its privileges can add anything in
there. But that could happen by accident, or privileges could later be
granted and somebody could add something into the extension schema
after that. I wonder whether we should lock this down tighter somehow
and altogether forbid creating objects in that schema except from an
extension create/upgrade script for the owning extension.

Attached is a patch that addresses your comments I think. I restructured
the schema creation code, and added more comments to the
AlterExtensionNamespace code (I couldn't find a way to make the
structure clearer).

I think that's an interesting idea, and I started with a change to try
this out, that I intend to finish soon. It doesn't seem strictly
necessary, though.

Subject: [PATCH v6] Add support for extensions with an owned schema

Writing the sql migration scripts that are run by CREATE EXTENSION and
ALTER EXTENSION UPDATE are security minefields for extension authors.
One big reason for this is that search_path is set to the schema of the
extension while running these scripts, and thus if a user with lower
privileges can create functions or operators in that schema they can do
all kinds of search_path confusion attacks if not every function and
operator that is used in the script is schema qualified. While doing
such schema qualification is possible, it relies on the author to never
make a mistake in any of the sql files. And sadly humans have a tendency
to make mistakes.

This patch adds a new "owned_schema" option to the extension control
file that can be set to true to indicate that this extension wants to
own the schema in which it is installed. What that means is that the
schema should not exist before creating the extension, and will be
created during extension creation. This thus gives the extension author
an easy way to use a safe search_path, while still allowing all objects
to be grouped together in a schema. The implementation also has the
pleasant side effect that the schema will be automatically dropped when
the extension is dropped.

Subject: [PATCH v7] Add support for extensions with an owned schema

Writing the sql migration scripts that are run by CREATE EXTENSION and
ALTER EXTENSION UPDATE are security minefields for extension authors.
One big reason for this is that search_path is set to the schema of the
extension while running these scripts, and thus if a user with lower
privileges can create functions or operators in that schema they can do
all kinds of search_path confusion attacks if not every function and
operator that is used in the script is schema qualified. While doing
such schema qualification is possible, it relies on the author to never
make a mistake in any of the sql files. And sadly humans have a tendency
to make mistakes.

This patch adds a new "owned_schema" option to the extension control
file that can be set to true to indicate that this extension wants to
own the schema in which it is installed. What that means is that the
schema should not exist before creating the extension, and will be
created during extension creation. This thus gives the extension author
an easy way to use a safe search_path, while still allowing all objects
to be grouped together in a schema. The implementation also has the
pleasant side effect that the schema will be automatically dropped when
the extension is dropped.

I think that it would be too strict. One not too uncommon scenario is an
extension in a dedicated schema that creates additional objects
dynamically, for instance creating new partitions using triggers on one of
the extension table.  Such objects are not part of the extension and yet
are in control of the extension.

As an example powa already relies on that a lot (it creates new tables if
you register a new extension dynamically), and I'm about to add a feature
that create/drops s a bunch of inherited tables via a trigger when a remote
server is added / removed. I'm sure that there are a lot of other
extensions doing something similar.

Interesting. I didn't know there were extensions that did that. That
definitely doesn't seem like a very common pattern though.

But I don't think that's a problem for this idea. In the
implementation I'm working on, superuser would still be allowed to
create objects in such locked down owned schemas. So as long as the
extension upgrades its permissions to superuser during these DDLs it
should still be fine. (easy to do with SECURITY DEFINER or by
temporarily changing permissions from C)

I think that there are way more extensions that dynamically create objects than
what you think.  Some years ago I was working on such an extension at work, and
pgtt is also creating some objects under the hood.  That's already 3 extensions
that I know on top of my head without having to think about it.

Requiring superuser permission seems like a big penalty, especially since the
last few years have been all about *not* requiring superuser privileges.  Note
also that not all extensions embeds compiled code, some are just doing plain
plpgsql and work just fine.

Why not requiring schema owner privileges?

I agree with you that requiring superuser privileges is undesirable.
However, requiring schema owner privileges isn't really requiring
anything above and beyond what the permissions system would require
anyway, since at the start, nobody else will have privileges on that
schema. And that's where what Jelte was proposing -- and also what you
propose here -- seems very accident-prone to me. It would be quite
easy for the user who created the extension, and who therefore also
owns the schema IIUC, to accidentally put other stuff there, or allow
others to do so, and that might undermine the safe search_path
guarantee that is the purpose of this patch. I am not fixed on any
particular method of making that guarantee more robust, but I am in
favor of trying to come up with some way of making it more robust.

The first thought that popped into my head was that maybe your
extension should make the objects it creates part of the extension,
but I think that doesn't actually work, because it would mean that
they would not be dumped. I think what you've got is something
intermediate between full extension membership (where installing the
extension creates the objects) and non-membership (where the objects
are created by the user and unaffiliated with the extension) but we
have no concept of that in the system today. Should we?

Another thing to consider here is what happens when somebody tries to
drop the extension. As Jelte coded it in the last version I read, it
just blows away the schema. I don't remember whether it used RESTRICT
(in which case the presence of unrelated objects in the schema would
result in failure) or CASCADE (in which case they would be silently
blown away) but I don't like either option very much. The former would
be pretty inconvenient in a use case like yours, and the latter would
be terrible if there were valuable, unrelated objects in the schema. I
think CASCADE is the right answer as long as there's something that
makes it unlikely that the schema has any unanticipated contents.

Here are a few possible ways forward:

(1) Invent, as proposed above, an intermediate level of extension
membership where objects are dropped with the extension but are still
dumped, and find a way for extensions to create objects in an owned
schema only if the new object will be either fully owned by the
extension or at least at this intermediate level.

(2) Decide that extensions that create additional objects in the
schema shouldn't use owned schemas, and document this.

(3) Add a mechanism to track when an extension-owned function is
executing, and only allow objects to be created in an extension-owned
schema when that's the case.

(4) Add a GUC that overrides the usual prohibition on creating objects
in an extension-owned schema, and let users or the extension set it if
they wish.

(5) Decide I'm wrong and that we should just let objects be created
freely in the owned schema. Document the consequences of this and
blame any problems on user error.

(6) Your superior idea goes here!

Requiring schema owner privilege wouldn't allow the user who created the
extension to allow other users to mess up with the extension's private schema?
At least not with a simple GRANT on the schema.

I'm also wondering how much you can prevent the owner from doing changes in the
owned schema without leading to unhelpful behavior.  Would the owner still be
allowed to create extra indexes on extension owned table for instance, change
the TOAST setting, move them to other tablespace or ...?

Arguably there is pg_extension_config_dump() for that, assuming that this would
become allowed in scenario like the one I described (and modified to also emit
the DDL in such case).  But it would be hard for extension authors to use as
you would have to call it only with some major versions.

We could do it automatically, but extensions may not need to dump all tables
and/or all rows.  For instance in powa we have some unlogged tables that are
use transiently during a snapshot, and those tables shouldn't be dumped.  Right
now if such tables are created by the extension they're always dumped, but it
would be good to make it configurable if dynamically created tables become part
of the extension, one way or another.

I think that sounds like reasonable change to Roberts initial
proposal: Allowing the schema owner and superusers to add objects in
the schema, but disallow all other users (even if they have CREATE
privileges on the schema).

I think this seems reasonable from a security perspective. The thing
owned_schema protects against, is accidentally executing code with
permissions of the extension script runner. The owner of the schema is
always the same user as the extension script runner. But it protects
users from the somewhat easy to make mistake of GRANT ALL ON SCHEMA
(instead of GRANT USAGE ON SCHEMA).

Note that this means that even with trusted=true, a non-superuser
extension owner would still not be able to the schema. For that
superuser=false is needed in the control file.

The only thing I'm wondering is if we should allow changing the schema
owner with ALTER SCHEMA OWNER TO. Because that would break this
assumption:
> The owner of the schema is always the same user as the extension script runner.

But that command seems unlikely to be run by accident. But on the
other hand, I don't really see a usecase for changing the schema
owner, except for breaking this protection. So I'm leaning towards
disallowing ALTER SCHEMA OWNER TO on the schema, probably even for
superusers.

I don't know, I'm not really convinced. I feel like this isn't really
a security issue but more of a could-be-an-unpleasant-surprise issue.
What the patch does (IIRC) is make it so that dropping the extension
just cascade-drops the schema. If the schema contains anything
unrelated to the extension, that's going to remove stuff that it
shouldn't remove. In Julien's examples, the other stuff that gets
introduced into the schema is logically part of the extension even if
it doesn't formally have membership in the extension, but somebody
could equally well just install an unrelated extension in the same
schema and then drop the first extension and, whoops.

You recall incorrectly ;) It only does that when you do:
DROP EXTENSION ... CASCADE

Otherwise you get errors like this:

 DROP EXTENSION test_ext_owned_schema;

To be clear, that could only happen when that unrelated extension does
not have owned_schema=true. Because creating such an extension
requires the schema to not exist yet. (And even then as explained
above the accidental drop only happens when the user uses CASCADE.)

OK. Perhaps that needs some associated tests?

To be honest, I'm kind of leaning at this point toward saying we
shouldn't impose any special restrictions here. If the DROP doesn't
cascade, then the worst thing that can happen is that you make it hard
for yourself to drop your own extension cleanly. I think letting the
superuser and the schema owner do things and other people not is too
weird -- it basically boils down to ignoring GRANT sometimes, and I
think users will find it confusing. If we were going to have
special_tinkering_mode=true|false that affected everyone equally, that
would make sense to me, but it sounds like nobody else really likes
that, so it's probably just a bad idea.

Added now in v8, as well as a bunch of other tests. Including a test for
trusted extensions, and a fix so that for trusted extensions the owned
schema is owned by the bootstrap superuser. Changes made since v7 can be
found in nocfbot.changes.diff.

I agree. I kept it like that.

Subject: [PATCH v8] Add support for extensions with an owned schema

Writing the sql migration scripts that are run by CREATE EXTENSION and
ALTER EXTENSION UPDATE are security minefields for extension authors.
One big reason for this is that search_path is set to the schema of the
extension while running these scripts, and thus if a user with lower
privileges can create functions or operators in that schema they can do
all kinds of search_path confusion attacks if not every function and
operator that is used in the script is schema qualified. While doing
such schema qualification is possible, it relies on the author to never
make a mistake in any of the sql files. And sadly humans have a tendency
to make mistakes.

This patch adds a new "owned_schema" option to the extension control
file that can be set to true to indicate that this extension wants to
own the schema in which it is installed. What that means is that the
schema should not exist before creating the extension, and will be
created during extension creation. This thus gives the extension author
an easy way to use a safe search_path, while still allowing all objects
to be grouped together in a schema. The implementation also has the
pleasant side effect that the schema will be automatically dropped when
the extension is dropped.
