# 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
