# Issue #365: Additional Security Enhancements
**Status**: Planning
**Created**: 2025-12-21
**Issue**: https://github.com/Wikid82/Charon/issues/365
---
## Objective
Implement additional security enhancements to address identified threats and gaps in the current security posture.
## Security Threats to Address
### 1. Supply Chain Attacks ❌ → ✅
- **Threat:** Compromised Docker images, npm packages, Go modules
- **Current Protection:** Trivy scanning in CI
- **Implementation:**
- [ ] Add SBOM (Software Bill of Materials) generation
- [ ] Enhanced dependency scanning
### 2. DNS Hijacking / Cache Poisoning ❌ → 📖
- **Threat:** Attacker redirects DNS queries to malicious servers
- **Implementation:**
- [ ] Document use of encrypted DNS (DoH/DoT) in deployment guide
### 3. TLS Downgrade Attacks ✅ → 📖
- **Threat:** Force clients to use weak TLS versions
- **Current Protection:** Caddy enforces TLS 1.2+ by default
- **Implementation:**
- [ ] Document minimum TLS version in security.md
### 4. Certificate Transparency (CT) Log Poisoning ❌ → 🔮
- **Threat:** Attacker registers fraudulent certs for your domains
- **Implementation:** Future feature (separate issue)
### 5. Privilege Escalation (Container Escape) ⚠️ → 📖
- **Threat:** Attacker escapes Docker container to host OS
- **Current Protection:** Docker security best practices (partial)
- **Implementation:**
- [ ] Document running with least-privilege
- [ ] Document read-only root filesystem configuration
### 6. Session Hijacking / Cookie Theft ✅ → 🔒
- **Threat:** Steal user session tokens via XSS or network sniffing
- **Current Protection:** HTTPOnly cookies, Secure flag, SameSite
- **Implementation:**
- [ ] Verify current cookie implementation
- [ ] Add CSP (Content Security Policy) headers
### 7. Timing Attacks (Cryptographic Side-Channel) ❌ → 🔒
- **Threat:** Infer secrets by measuring response times
- **Implementation:**
- [ ] Audit bcrypt timing
- [ ] Use constant-time comparison for tokens
## Enterprise-Level Security Gaps
### In Scope (This Issue)
- [ ] Security Incident Response Plan (SIRP) documentation
- [ ] Automated security update notifications documentation
### Out of Scope (Future Issues)
- Multi-factor authentication (MFA) via Authentik
- SSO for Charon admin
- Audit logging for compliance (GDPR, SOC 2)
- CT log monitoring
## Implementation Phases
### Phase 1: Documentation Updates
1. Update `docs/security.md` with TLS minimum version
2. Add container hardening guide
3. Add DNS security deployment guide
4. Create Security Incident Response Plan
### Phase 2: Code Changes
1. Implement CSP headers in backend
2. Add constant-time token comparison
3. Verify cookie security flags
4. Add SBOM generation to CI
### Phase 3: Testing & Validation
1. Security audit of all changes
2. Penetration testing documentation
3. Update integration tests
