Risk Assessment - -| Risk | Severity | Mitigation | -|------|----------|------------| -| **Docker ARG scoping**: ARG used in `FROM` requires global-scope declaration; ARG in `RUN` requires per-stage re-declaration | High | Explicitly tested in §4.1. Docker's scoping rules are well-documented. | -| **Renovate stops tracking**: Switching from inline `FROM` annotation to ARG-based regex manager may cause Renovate to lose tracking until config is deployed | Medium | Add regex managers in the same PR. Test with `renovate --dry-run` or Dependency Dashboard. | -| **Renovate double-matching**: Old `go get` regex manager might still match non-parameterized `go get` lines (crypto, ipstore) | Low | These deps keep their inline `# renovate:` comments and hardcoded versions. The regex correctly matches them. | -| **CADDY_IMAGE rename**: Any docker-compose override or CI script referencing `--build-arg CADDY_IMAGE=...` will break | Medium | Search codebase for `CADDY_IMAGE` references outside `Dockerfile`. Update CI workflows if found. | -| **Build cache invalidation**: Changing ARG values at the top level invalidates all downstream layer caches | Low | This is expected and already happens today when any version changes. No behavioral change. | -| **Cross-compilation**: `${GO_VERSION}` interpolation in multi-platform builds | Low | Docker resolves global ARGs before platform selection.

Root Cause Analysis - -### 3.1 Why CodeQL Flags These - -CodeQL's `go/email-injection` query tracks data from **untrusted sources** (HTTP request parameters) to **SMTP sending functions** (`smtp.SendMail`, `smtp.Client.Data().Write()`). It considers any data that reaches these sinks without passing through a **CodeQL-recognized sanitizer** as tainted. - -**CodeQL does NOT recognize these as sanitizers for `go/email-injection`:** - -| Existing Mitigation | Location | Why CodeQL Ignores It | -|---------------------|----------|----------------------| -| `html.EscapeString()` | `notification_service.go:270` | HTML escaping ≠ SMTP injection prevention. Correctly ignored — it prevents XSS, not SMTP injection. | -| `sanitizeEmailBody()` (dot-stuffing) | `mail_service.go:480-488` | Custom function; CodeQL can't verify it strips CRLF. Only adds dot-prefix, doesn't remove control chars. | -| `rejectCRLF()` | `mail_service.go:88-92` | Returns an error but doesn't modify the data. CodeQL tracks data flow, not error-path branching. The tainted string still flows to the sink on the success path. | -| `encodeSubject()` | `mail_service.go:62-68` | MIME Q-encoding wraps the string; doesn't strip control characters from CodeQL's perspective. | -| `// codeql[go/email-injection]` comments | Lines 365, 539, 592 | **NOT a valid CodeQL suppression syntax.** These are developer annotations only. | - -### 3.2 Is the Code Actually Vulnerable? - -**No.** The existing mitigations provide effective defense-in-depth: - -1. **Header injection prevented**: `rejectCRLF()` is called on all header values (subject, from, to, reply-to). If CRLF is detected, the function returns an error and `SendEmail` aborts — the tainted data never reaches the SMTP call. - -2. **Subject protected**: `encodeSubject()` applies MIME Q-encoding after CRLF rejection. Subject header injection is not possible. - -3. **To header protected**: `toHeaderUndisclosedRecipients()` replaces the To: header with a static string. The actual recipient address only appears in the SMTP envelope `RCPT TO` command, not in message headers. - -4. **Body content HTML-escaped**: `html.EscapeString()` in `dispatchEmail()` prevents XSS in HTML email bodies. `html/template` auto-escaping is used in `SendInvite()`. - -5. **Body SMTP-protected**: `sanitizeEmailBody()` performs RFC 5321 dot-stuffing. Lines starting with `.` are doubled to prevent premature DATA termination. - -6. **Address validation**: `parseEmailAddressForHeader()` uses `net/mail.ParseAddress()` for RFC 5322 validation and rejects CRLF. - -**Risk Assessment: LOW** — The findings are false positives from an exploitability standpoint, but represent a legitimate gap in CodeQL's ability to verify the sanitization chain. - -### 3.3 Why `// codeql[...]` Comments Don't Suppress - -The comments `// codeql[go/email-injection]` at lines 365, 539, and 592 are not a recognized CodeQL suppression mechanism. Valid suppression options are: - -- **GitHub UI**: Dismiss alerts in the Code Scanning tab with a reason ("False positive", "Won't fix", "Used in tests") -- **`codeql-config.yml`**: Exclude the query entirely (too broad — would hide real findings) -- **Code restructuring**: Make sanitization visible to CodeQL's taint model - ---- - -## 4. Recommended Fix Approach - -### Strategy: Code Restructuring + Targeted Suppression - -**Priority: Make the sanitization visible to CodeQL where feasible. Suppress remaining findings with documented justification.** - -### 4.1 Approach A — Sanitize at the Notification Boundary (Primary Fix) - -The core issue is that CodeQL can't trace the safety through indirect error-return patterns. The fix is to **strip** (not just reject) dangerous characters at the notification dispatch boundary, before data enters the email pipeline. - -Create a dedicated `sanitizeForEmail()` function that: -1. Strips `\r` and `\n` characters (not just rejects them) -2. Is applied directly in `dispatchEmail()` before constructing subject and body -3. Gives CodeQL a clear, in-line sanitization point +Locate the default-encryption branch in `SendEmail`. Replace the `smtp.SendMail` call line: ```go -// sanitizeForEmail strips CR/LF characters from untrusted strings -// before they enter the email pipeline. This provides defense-in-depth -// alongside rejectCRLF() validation in SendEmail/buildEmail. -func sanitizeForEmail(s string) string { - s = strings.ReplaceAll(s, "\r", "") - s = strings.ReplaceAll(s, "\n", "") - return s +default: +// toEnvelope passes through 4-layer CRLF defence: +// 1. gin binding:"required,email" at HTTP entry (CRLF invalid per RFC 5321) +// 2. validateEmailRecipients → ContainsAny("\r\n") + net/mail.ParseAddress +// 3. parseEmailAddressForHeader → net/mail.ParseAddress (returns .Address only) +// 4. rejectCRLF(toEnvelope) guard earlier in this function +// CodeQL does not model validators as sanitisers; suppression is correct here. +if err := smtp.SendMail(addr, auth, fromEnvelope, []string{toEnvelope}, msg); err != nil { // codeql[go/email-injection] +``` + +#### 3.2.2 Suppress at `client.Rcpt` in `sendSSL` + +**File:** `backend/internal/services/mail_service.go` (around line 530) + +Locate in `sendSSL`.

This approach works for `subject` but NOT for `htmlBody`. For the body, the existing `html.EscapeString()` + dot-stuffing is the correct defense. +#### 3.2.4 Document safe call in `settings_handler.go` -**Revised**: Apply `sanitizeForEmail()` to `subject` only in `SendEmail()`. The HTML body should retain newlines for formatting but is protected by `html.EscapeString()` at the call site and dot-stuffing in `buildEmail()`. +**File:** `backend/internal/api/handlers/settings_handler.go` (around line 637) -### 4.3 Approach C — GitHub UI Alert Dismissal (Fallback) +Add a comment immediately above the `SendEmail` call — the sinks in mail_service.go are already annotated, so this is documentation only: -If CodeQL continues to flag after code restructuring, dismiss the remaining alerts in the GitHub Code Scanning UI with: +```go +// req.To is validated as RFC 5321 email via gin binding:"required,email". +// SendEmail applies validateEmailRecipients + net/mail.ParseAddress + rejectCRLF as defence-in-depth. +// Suppression annotations are on the sinks in mail_service.go. +if err := h.MailService.SendEmail(c.Request.Context(), []string{req.To}, "Charon - Test Email", htmlBody); err != nil { +``` -- **Reason**: "False positive" -- **Comment**: "Mitigated by defense-in-depth: CRLF rejection (rejectCRLF), MIME Q-encoding (encodeSubject), html.EscapeString on body content, dot-stuffing (sanitizeEmailBody), undisclosed recipients in To header.

It is `false` only when `isLocalRequest()` returns `true` — i.e., when the request comes from `127.x.x.x`, `::1`, or `localhost` over HTTP. In that scenario, browsers reject `Secure` cookies over non-TLS connections anyway, so setting `Secure: true` would silently break auth for local development. The conditional is tested and documented. + +#### 3.3.1 Skip `query-filters` approach — inline annotation is sufficient + +**Status: NOT IMPLEMENTING** — `query-filters` is a CodeQL query suite (`.qls`) concept, NOT a valid top-level key in GitHub's `codeql-config.yml`. Adding it risks silent failure or breaking the entire CodeQL analysis. The inline annotation at `auth_handler.go:152` is the documented mechanism and is already correct. No changes to `.github/codeql/codeql-config.yml` are needed for CWE-614. + +**Why inline annotation is sufficient and preferred:** It is scoped to the single intentional instance. Any future `c.SetCookie(...)` call without `Secure:true` anywhere else in the codebase will correctly flag. Global exclusion via config would silently hide future regressions. + +#### 3.3.1 (REFERENCE ONLY) Current valid `codeql-config.yml` structure + +```yaml +name: "Charon CodeQL Config" + +# Paths to ignore from all analysis (use sparingly - prefer query-filters for rule-level exclusions) +paths-ignore: + - "frontend/coverage/**" + - "frontend/dist/**" + - "playwright-report/**" + - "test-results/**" + - "coverage/**" +``` + +DO NOT add `query-filters:` — it is not supported. + - exclude: + id: go/cookie-secure-not-set + # Justified: setSecureCookie() in auth_handler.go intentionally sets Secure=false + # ONLY for local loopback (127.x.x.x / ::1 / localhost) HTTP requests. + # Browsers reject Secure cookies over HTTP regardless, so Secure=true would silently + # break local development auth. All external HTTPS flows always set Secure=true. + # Code: backend/internal/api/handlers/auth_handler.go → setSecureCookie() + # Tests: TestSetSecureCookie_HTTPS_Strict, TestSetSecureCookie_HTTP_Loopback_Insecure +``` + +#### 3.3.2 Verify inline suppression placement in `auth_handler.go` + +**File:** `backend/internal/api/handlers/auth_handler.go` (around line 152) + +Confirm the `// codeql[go/cookie-secure-not-set]` annotation is on the same line as `c.SetCookie(`. The code should read: + +```go +c.SetSameSite(sameSite) +// secure is intentionally false for local non-HTTPS loopback (development only). +c.SetCookie( // codeql[go/cookie-secure-not-set] +name, +value, +maxAge, +"/", +domain, +secure, +true, +) +``` + +The `query-filters` in §3.3.1 provides the primary fix. The inline annotation provides belt-and-suspenders coverage that survives if the config is ever reset. --- -## 5. Implementation Plan +## 4.
