     Type:  task               |         Status:  new
 Priority:  major              |      Milestone:  undecided
Component:  code-frontend-web  |        Version:  n/a
 Keywords:                     |  Launchpad Bug:
-------------------------------+---------------------------
 '''Problem''': The webapi interface design seems to presume the node
 operator and users are mutually trusting.  There is some demand for
 "public" web gateways to content in a LAFS network, where the users and
 gateway operator do not fully trust each other.

 '''Resolution''': This ticket is resolved when the vulnerabilities are
 enumerated to the operator coming from users, to the users from the
 operator, and from the users between themselves.

 '''Bonus Points''' awarded for each of: configuration options which reduce
 a given vulnerabily's risk; workarounds which do not require code patches
 (external tools are ok); and outlines of code patches to reduce the
 vulnerability.
