+### [MEDIUM] CVE-2026-27171 · zlib CPU Exhaustion via Infinite Loop in CRC Combine Functions
+
+| Field        | Value |
+|--------------|-------|
+| **ID**       | CVE-2026-27171 |
+| **Severity** | Medium · 5.5 (NVD) / 2.9 (MITRE) |
+| **Status**   | Awaiting Upstream |
+
+**What**
+zlib before 1.3.2 allows unbounded CPU consumption (denial of service) via the `crc32_combine64`
+and `crc32_combine_gen64` functions. An internal helper `x2nmodp` performs right-shifts inside a
+loop with no termination condition when given a specially crafted input, causing a CPU spin
+(CWE-1284).
+
+**Who**
+- Discovered by: 7aSecurity audit (commissioned by OSTIF)
+- Reported: 2026-02-17
+- Affects: Any component in the container that calls `crc32_combine`-family functions with
+  attacker-controlled input; not directly exposed through Charon's application interface
+
+**Where**
+- Component: Alpine 3.23.3 base image (`zlib` package, version 1.3.1-r2)
+- Versions affected: zlib < 1.3.2; all current Charon images using Alpine 3.23.3
+
+**When**
+- Discovered: 2026-02-17 (NVD published 2026-02-17)
+- Disclosed (if public): 2026-02-17
+- Target fix: When Alpine 3.23 publishes a patched `zlib` APK (requires zlib 1.3.2)
+
+**How**
+Exploitation requires local access (CVSS vector `AV:L`) and the ability to pass a crafted value
+to the `crc32_combine`-family functions. This code path is not invoked by Charon's reverse proxy
+or backend API. The vulnerability is non-blocking under the project's CI severity policy.
+
+**Planned Remediation**
+Monitor https://security.alpinelinux.org/vuln/CVE-2026-27171 for a patched Alpine APK. Once
+available, update the pinned `ALPINE_IMAGE` digest in the Dockerfile, or add an explicit
+`RUN apk upgrade --no-cache zlib` to the runtime stage. Remove the `.trivyignore` entry at
+that time.

+### `setSecureCookie` Implementation

-## Security Review — `frontend/src/pages/Uptime.tsx`
+The function unconditionally passes `true` as the `secure` argument to `c.SetCookie`:

-### Finding 1: XSS Risk — `<p>{urlError}</p>`
-
-**Assessment: ✅ NOT EXPLOITABLE**
-
-`urlError` is set exclusively by the component itself:
-
-```tsx
-setUrlError(t('uptime.invalidTcpFormat'));  // from i18n translation
-setUrlError('');                             // clear
+```go
+c.SetCookie(
+    name,   // name
+    value,  // value
+    maxAge, // maxAge in seconds
+    "/",    // path
+    domain, // domain (empty = current host)
+    true,   // secure  ← always true, no conditional branch
+    true,   // httpOnly
+)
 ```

-The value always originates from the i18n translation system, never from raw user input. React JSX rendering (`{urlError}`) performs automatic HTML entity escaping on all string values. Even if a translation file were compromised to contain HTML tags, React would render them as escaped text. No XSS vector exists.
-
---
-
-### Finding 2: `url.includes('://')` Bypass Risk
-
-**Assessment: ⚠️ LOW — UX guard only; backend must be authoritative**
-
-The scheme check `url.trim().includes('://')` correctly intercepts the primary misuse pattern (`tcp://`, `http://`, `ftp://`, etc.). Edge cases:
-
- **Percent-encoded bypass**: `tcp%3A//host:8080` does not contain the literal `://` and would pass the frontend guard, reaching the backend with the raw percent-encoded value.
- **`data:` URIs**: Use `:` not `://` — would pass the frontend check but would fail at the backend as an invalid TCP target.
- **Internal whitespace**: `tcp ://host` is not caught (`.trim()` strips only leading/trailing whitespace).
-
-All bypass paths result in an invalid monitor that fails to connect. There is no SSRF risk, credential leak, or XSS vector from these edge cases. The backend API is the authoritative validator.
-
-**Recommendation:** No frontend change required. Confirm the backend validates TCP monitor URLs server-side (host:port format) independent of client input.
-
---
-
-### Finding 3: `handleSubmit` Guard — Path Analysis
-
-**Assessment: ✅ DEFENSE-IN-DEPTH OPERATING AS DESIGNED**
-
-Three independent submission guards are present:
-
-1. **HTML `required` attribute** on `name` and `url` inputs — browser-enforced
-2. **Button `disabled` state**: `disabled={mutation.isPending || !name.trim() || !url.trim()}`
-3. **JS guard in `handleSubmit`**: early return on empty fields, followed by TCP scheme check
-
-All three must be bypassed for an invalid TCP URL to reach the API through normal UI interaction. Direct API calls bypass all three layers by design; backend validation covers that path. The guard fires correctly in all 10 test-covered scenarios.
-
---
-
-### Finding 4: `<a href={monitor.url}>` with TCP Addresses (Informational)
-
-**Assessment: ℹ️ INFORMATIONAL — No security risk**
-
-TCP monitor URLs (e.g., `192.168.1.1:8080`) are rendered inside `<a href={monitor.url}>`. A browser interprets this as a relative URL reference; clicking it fails gracefully. React sanitizes `javascript:` hrefs since v16.9.0. No security impact.
+All test cases (`TestSetSecureCookie_HTTPS_Strict`, `_HTTP_Lax`, `_HTTP_Loopback_Insecure`,
+`_ForwardedHTTPS_*`, `_HTTP_PrivateIP_Insecure`, `_HTTP_10Network_Insecure`,
+`_HTTP_172Network_Insecure`) assert `cookie.Secure == true`.

 ---

 ## Overall: ✅ PASS

-PR-5 implements TCP monitor UX with correct validation layering, clean TypeScript, and complete unit test coverage of all TCP-specific behaviors. One low-severity observation (backend must own TCP URL format validation independently) does not block the PR — this is an existing project convention, not a regression introduced by these changes.
+The CWE-614 remediation is complete and correct. All cookies set by `setSecureCookie` now unconditionally carry `Secure = true`. No regressions, no new security findings, and coverage remains above the required threshold.
