|
|
|
|
## Completed Security Items
|
|
|
|
### ✓ SEC-1: Hardcoded JWT Secret (CRITICAL) - COMPLETE
|
|
|
|
**Problem:** JWT secret hardcoded in source code, allowing token forgery
|
|
|
|
**Solution:**
|
|
- Removed hardcoded secret from jwt.rs
|
|
- Made JWT_SECRET environment variable mandatory
|
|
- Added 32-character minimum validation
|
|
- Server panics at startup if JWT_SECRET missing or weak
|
|
|
|
**Files Modified:**
|
|
- `server/src/main.rs` (lines 82-87)
|
|
- `server/src/auth/jwt.rs` (removed default_jwt_secret function)
|
|
- `server/.env.example` (added secure secret template)
|
|
|
|
**Testing:** ✓ Verified - server refuses to start without JWT_SECRET
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
### ✓ SEC-2: Rate Limiting (HIGH) - DEFERRED
|
|
|
|
**Problem:** No rate limiting on authentication endpoints
|
|
|
|
**Status:** DEFERRED due to tower_governor type incompatibility with Axum 0.7
|
|
|
|
**Attempted:**
|
|
- Added tower_governor dependency
|
|
- Created middleware/rate_limit.rs
|
|
- Encountered type signature issues
|
|
|
|
**Documentation:** SEC2_RATE_LIMITING_TODO.md
|
|
**Next Steps:** Research compatible types or implement custom middleware
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
### ✓ SEC-3: SQL Injection Audit (CRITICAL) - COMPLETE
|
|
|
|
**Problem:** Potential SQL injection vulnerabilities
|
|
|
|
**Investigation:**
|
|
- Audited all database files (users.rs, machines.rs, sessions.rs, etc.)
|
|
- Searched for vulnerable patterns (format!, string concatenation)
|
|
|
|
**Finding:** NO VULNERABILITIES FOUND
|
|
- All queries use sqlx parameterized queries ($1, $2 placeholders)
|
|
- No format! or string concatenation with user input
|
|
- Database treats parameters as data, not executable code
|
|
|
|
**Documentation:** SEC3_SQL_INJECTION_AUDIT.md
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
### ✓ SEC-4: Agent Connection Validation (CRITICAL) - COMPLETE
|
|
|
|
**Problem:** No IP logging, no failed connection logging, weak API keys accepted
|
|
|
|
**Solutions Implemented:**
|
|
|
|
**1. IP Address Extraction and Logging**
|
|
- Created `server/src/utils/ip_extract.rs`
|
|
- Modified relay/mod.rs to extract IP from ConnectInfo
|
|
- Updated all log_event calls to include IP address
|
|
- Added ConnectInfo support to server startup
|
|
|
|
**2. Failed Connection Attempt Logging**
|
|
- Added 5 new event types to db/events.rs:
|
|
- CONNECTION_REJECTED_NO_AUTH
|
|
- CONNECTION_REJECTED_INVALID_CODE
|
|
- CONNECTION_REJECTED_EXPIRED_CODE
|
|
- CONNECTION_REJECTED_INVALID_API_KEY
|
|
- CONNECTION_REJECTED_CANCELLED_CODE
|
|
- All failed attempts logged to database with IP, reason, and details
|
|
|
|
**3. API Key Strength Validation**
|
|
- Created `server/src/utils/validation.rs`
|
|
- Validates API keys at startup:
|
|
- Minimum 32 characters
|
|
- No weak patterns (password, admin, key, secret, token, agent)
|
|
- Sufficient character diversity (10+ unique chars)
|
|
- Server refuses to start with weak AGENT_API_KEY
|
|
|
|
**Testing:** ✓ Verified - weak key rejected, IP addresses logged in events
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
### ✓ SEC-5: Session Takeover Prevention (CRITICAL) - COMPLETE
|
|
|
|
**Problem:** JWT tokens cannot be revoked, stolen tokens valid for 24 hours
|
|
|
|
**Solutions Implemented:**
|
|
|
|
**1. Token Blacklist System**
|
|
- Created `server/src/auth/token_blacklist.rs`
|
|
- In-memory HashSet for revoked tokens (Arc<RwLock<HashSet<String>>>)
|
|
- Thread-safe concurrent access
|
|
- Automatic cleanup of expired tokens
|
|
|
|
**2. JWT Validation with Revocation Check**
|
|
- Modified auth/mod.rs to check blacklist before validating token
|
|
- Tokens on blacklist rejected with "Token has been revoked" error
|
|
|
|
**3. Logout and Revocation Endpoints**
|
|
- Created `server/src/api/auth_logout.rs` with 5 endpoints:
|
|
- POST /api/auth/logout - Revoke own token
|
|
- POST /api/auth/revoke-token - Alias for logout
|
|
- POST /api/auth/admin/revoke-user - Admin revocation (foundation)
|
|
- GET /api/auth/blacklist/stats - Monitor blacklist
|
|
- POST /api/auth/blacklist/cleanup - Clean expired tokens
|
|
|
|
**4. Middleware Integration**
|
|
- Added TokenBlacklist to AppState
|
|
- Injected into request extensions via middleware
|
|
- All authenticated requests check blacklist
|
|
|
|
**Testing:** Code deployed (awaiting database for end-to-end testing)
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
### ✓ SEC-6: Remove Password Logging (MEDIUM) - COMPLETE
|
|
|
|
**Problem:** Initial admin password logged in server output
|
|
|
|
**Solution:**
|
|
- Modified main.rs to write credentials to `.admin-credentials` file
|
|
- Set file permissions to 600 (Unix only)
|
|
- Removed password from log output
|
|
- Clear warning message directing admin to read file
|
|
- Fallback to logging if file write fails (with security warning)
|
|
|
|
**Files Modified:**
|
|
- `server/src/main.rs` (lines 136-164)
|
|
|
|
**Security Improvement:**
|
|
- Before: Password visible in logs (security risk if logs are compromised)
|
|
- After: Password in secure file with restricted permissions
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
### ✓ SEC-7: XSS Prevention (CSP Headers) (HIGH) - COMPLETE
|
|
|
|
**Problem:** No Content Security Policy, vulnerable to XSS attacks
|
|
|
|
**Solution:**
|
|
- Created `server/src/middleware/security_headers.rs`
|
|
- Implemented comprehensive Content Security Policy:
|
|
```
|
|
default-src 'self'
|
|
script-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'
|
|
style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'
|
|
img-src 'self' data:
|
|
font-src 'self'
|
|
connect-src 'self' ws: wss:
|
|
frame-ancestors 'none'
|
|
base-uri 'self'
|
|
form-action 'self'
|
|
```
|
|
- Applied CSP to all responses via middleware
|
|
|
|
**Files Created:**
|
|
- `server/src/middleware/security_headers.rs`
|
|
|
|
**Files Modified:**
|
|
- `server/src/middleware/mod.rs` (added security_headers module)
|
|
- `server/src/main.rs` (applied middleware to router)
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
### ⊗ SEC-8: TLS Certificate Validation (MEDIUM) - NOT APPLICABLE
|
|
|
|
**Status:** NOT APPLICABLE for server
|
|
|
|
**Rationale:**
|
|
- Server accepts connections, doesn't make outbound TLS connections
|
|
- TLS/HTTPS handled by NPM reverse proxy (connect.azcomputerguru.com)
|
|
- No server-side TLS validation needed
|
|
|
|
**Action:** Verified NPM has valid Let's Encrypt certificate
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
### ✓ SEC-9: Verify Argon2id Usage (HIGH) - COMPLETE
|
|
|
|
**Problem:** Unclear if Argon2id variant is being used
|
|
|
|
**Solution:**
|
|
- Modified `server/src/auth/password.rs` to explicitly specify Argon2id
|
|
- Added detailed documentation of Argon2id parameters:
|
|
- Algorithm: Argon2id (hybrid variant)
|
|
- Version: 0x13 (latest)
|
|
- Memory: 19456 KiB (default)
|
|
- Iterations: 2 (default)
|
|
- Parallelism: 1 (default)
|
|
- Explicitly configured Algorithm::Argon2id instead of relying on default
|
|
|
|
**Files Modified:**
|
|
- `server/src/auth/password.rs` (lines 1-44)
|
|
|
|
**Verification:** ✓ Argon2id explicitly configured and documented
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
### ⊗ SEC-10: HTTPS Enforcement (MEDIUM) - DELEGATED TO REVERSE PROXY
|
|
|
|
**Status:** HANDLED BY NPM
|
|
|
|
**Rationale:**
|
|
- HTTPS enforcement at reverse proxy level (NPM)
|
|
- Server runs on HTTP:3002 (internal only)
|
|
- Public access via https://connect.azcomputerguru.com (NPM handles TLS)
|
|
|
|
**Action Taken:**
|
|
- Added commented-out HSTS header in security_headers.rs
|
|
- Documented that HSTS should only be enabled if server serves HTTPS directly
|
|
- Current setup: NPM enforces HTTPS, server doesn't need HSTS
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
### ✓ SEC-11: CORS Configuration Review (MEDIUM) - COMPLETE
|
|
|
|
**Problem:** CORS allows all origins (`allow_origin(Any)`), overly permissive
|
|
|
|
**Solution:**
|
|
- Restricted allowed origins to:
|
|
- https://connect.azcomputerguru.com (production)
|
|
- http://localhost:3002 (development)
|
|
- http://127.0.0.1:3002 (development)
|
|
- Restricted allowed methods to: GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS
|
|
- Restricted allowed headers to: Authorization, Content-Type, Accept
|
|
- Enabled credentials (cookies, auth headers)
|
|
|
|
**Files Modified:**
|
|
- `server/src/main.rs` (lines 31-32, 295-315)
|
|
|
|
**Security Improvement:**
|
|
- Before: Any origin can access API (CSRF risk)
|
|
- After: Only specified origins allowed (CSRF protection)
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
### ✓ SEC-12: Security Headers Implementation (MEDIUM) - COMPLETE
|
|
|
|
**Problem:** Missing security headers (X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, etc.)
|
|
|
|
**Solution:**
|
|
- Created comprehensive security headers middleware
|
|
- Implemented headers:
|
|
- **Content-Security-Policy** - XSS prevention (SEC-7)
|
|
- **X-Frame-Options: DENY** - Clickjacking protection
|
|
- **X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff** - MIME sniffing protection
|
|
- **X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block** - Legacy XSS filter
|
|
- **Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin** - Referrer control
|
|
- **Permissions-Policy** - Feature policy (geolocation, microphone, camera disabled)
|
|
- Applied to all responses via middleware
|
|
|
|
**Files Created:**
|
|
- `server/src/middleware/security_headers.rs`
|
|
|
|
**Verification:** Headers will be applied to all HTTP responses
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
### ✓ SEC-13: Session Expiration Enforcement (MEDIUM) - COMPLETE
|
|
|
|
**Problem:** Unclear if JWT expiration is strictly enforced
|
|
|
|
**Solution:**
|
|
- Made JWT expiration validation explicit in jwt.rs
|
|
- Configured validation settings:
|
|
- `validate_exp = true` - Enforce expiration check
|
|
- `validate_nbf = false` - Not using "not before" claim
|
|
- `leeway = 0` - No clock skew tolerance
|
|
- Added redundant expiration check (defense in depth)
|
|
- Documented expiration enforcement
|
|
|
|
**Files Modified:**
|
|
- `server/src/auth/jwt.rs` (lines 90-118)
|
|
|
|
**Verification:** JWT expiration strictly enforced, expired tokens rejected
|
|
