Summary
Hydra is a continuous integration service for Nix based projects. Prior to commit f7bda02, /api/push-github and /api/push-gitea are called by the corresponding forge without HTTP Basic authentication. Both forges do however feature HMAC signing with a secret key. Triggering an evaluation can be very taxing on the infrastructure when large evaluations are done, introducing potential denial of service attacks on the host running the evaluator. This issue has been patched by commit f7bda02. A workaround involves blocking /api/push-github and /api/push-gitea via a reverse proxy.

Antes del commit f7bda02, la forja correspondiente invocaba /api/push-github y /api/push-gitea sin autenticaci\u00f3n HTTP b\u00e1sica. Sin embargo, ambas forjas s\u00ed incluyen firma HMAC con una clave secreta. Activar una evaluaci\u00f3n puede ser muy exigente para la infraestructura cuando se realizan evaluaciones extensas, lo que puede generar ataques de denegaci\u00f3n de servicio en el host que ejecuta el evaluador. Este problema se ha corregido con el commit f7bda02. Una soluci\u00f3n alternativa consiste en bloquear /api/push-github y /api/push-gitea mediante un proxy inverso."
