Reject host lists on dynamic labels regardless of length - #51137
Conversation
The modify label endpoint only rejected a non-empty hosts/host_ids list for
labels whose membership is computed. A present-but-empty list fell through to
SaveLabel, which treats any non-nil list as a full membership replacement, so
`{"host_ids": []}` cleared every member of a dynamic label and returned 200.
Reject the presence of either field for non-manual labels, right after the
built-in label check and before membership is resolved, and cover the empty and
non-empty cases at both the service and API layers.

Pull request overview
This PR closes a security/behavior gap in the “modify label” endpoint where computed (dynamic/host-vitals) labels could have their membership cleared by sending an explicitly empty hosts/host_ids list, despite non-empty lists being rejected.
Changes:
- Reject any provided
hosts/host_idsfield (including empty lists) when modifying non-manual labels. - Add unit and integration test coverage to prevent membership replacement/clearing on computed labels.

Agree. We could reword to be "hosts can only be provided to manual labels".

Seems membership is not cleared when HostIDs: nil and Hosts: nil. Just checking (maybe while we're at it add a test for it).

LGTM! Just a comment around a test and modifying an error message.
The rejection covers host vitals labels too, so the message no longer calls them dynamic and names both fields it applies to. Assert that a request omitting both host fields reaches SaveLabel as nil, for every membership type, and that clearing a manual label reaches it as a non-nil empty list, which is what tells the datastore to replace membership.
The modify label endpoint rejected a non-empty
hosts/host_idslist for a label whose membership is computed, but accepted an empty one and passed it through to the membership replacement logic. Because a present-but-empty list means "replace membership with nothing",{"host_ids": []}cleared every member of a dynamic label and returned 200. Any user who can edit a label could therefore wipe the targeting that configuration profiles, policies, and scheduled queries depend on.This PR introduces a check to prevent that.
