It does not eliminate the code path that creates the security risk; it merely hides the +symptom. In a codebase with Charon's security posture (full supply-chain auditing, SBOM +generation, weekly CVE scanning), suppressing rather than fixing a cookie security issue is the +wrong philosophy. The authentic solution is to remove the offending branch. + +### What `isLocalRequest` Detects + +`isLocalRequest(c *gin.Context) bool` returns `true` if any of the following resolve to a local +or RFC 1918 private address: `c.Request.Host`, `c.Request.URL.Host`, the `Origin` header, the +`Referer` header, or any comma-delimited value in `X-Forwarded-Host`. It delegates to +`isLocalOrPrivateHost(host string) bool`, which checks for `"localhost"` (case-insensitive), +`ip.IsLoopback()`, or `ip.IsPrivate()` per the Go `net` package (10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, +192.168.0.0/16, ::1, fc00::/7). + +### Why `secure = false` Was Introduced + +The intent was to permit Charon to be accessed over HTTP on private networks (e.g., a developer +reaching `http://192.168.1.50:8080`). Browsers reject cookies with the `Secure` attribute on +non-HTTPS connections for non-localhost hosts, so setting `Secure = true` on a response to a +`192.168.x.x` HTTP request causes the browser to silently discard the cookie, breaking +authentication. The original author therefore conditionally disabled the `Secure` flag for these +deployments. + +### Why This Is Now Wrong for Charon + +Charon is a security-oriented reverse proxy manager designed to sit behind Caddy, which always +provides TLS termination in any supported deployment. The HTTP-on-private-IP access pattern breaks +down into three real-world scenarios: + +1. **Local development (`http://localhost:8080`)** — All major browsers (Chrome 66+, Firefox 75+, + Safari 14+) implement the *localhost exception*: the `Secure` cookie attribute is honoured and + the cookie is accepted and retransmitted over HTTP to localhost. Setting `Secure = true` causes + zero breakage here. + +2. **Docker-internal container access (`http://172.x.x.x`)** — Charon is never reached directly + from within the Docker network by a browser; health probes and inter-container calls do not use + cookies. No breakage. + +3. **Private-IP direct browser access (`http://192.168.x.x:8080`)** — This is explicitly + unsupported as an end-user deployment mode. The Charon `ARCHITECTURE.md` describes the only + supported path as via Caddy (HTTPS) or `localhost`. Setting `Secure = true` on these responses + means the browser ignores the cookie; but this deployment pattern should not exist regardless. + +The conclusion: removing `secure = false` unconditionally is both correct and safe for all +legitimate Charon deployments. + +--- + +## 3.

Test Coverage Requirements + +### 5.1 Existing Coverage — Sufficient After Amendment + +The five amended tests continue to exercise the local-HTTP branch of `setSecureCookie`: + +- They confirm `SameSiteLaxMode` is still applied for local/private-IP HTTP requests. +- They now additionally confirm `Secure = true` even on those requests. + +No new test functions are required; the amendment *restores* the existing tests to accuracy. + +### 5.2 Regression Check + +After the change, run the full `handlers` package test suite: ```bash -pip install --upgrade filelock virtualenv pip +cd backend && go test ./internal/api/handlers/... -run TestSetSecureCookie -v ``` -Post-upgrade verification: +All tests matching `TestSetSecureCookie*` must pass. Pay particular attention to: + +- `TestSetSecureCookie_HTTP_Loopback_Insecure` — `Secure = true`, `SameSite = Lax` +- `TestSetSecureCookie_HTTPS_Strict` — `Secure = true`, `SameSite = Strict` +- `TestSetSecureCookie_HTTP_PublicIP_Secure` — `Secure = true`, `SameSite = Lax` + +### 5.3 No New Tests + +A new test asserting `Secure = true` for all request types would be redundant — the amended +assertions across 5 existing tests already cover loopback, private-IPv4 (three RFC 1918 ranges), +and IPv6 ULA. There is no behavioural gap that requires new coverage. + +--- + +## 6. Commit Slicing Strategy + +This remediation ships as a **single commit on a single PR**. It touches exactly two files and +changes exactly one category of behaviour (the cookie `Secure` attribute). Splitting it would +create a transient state where the production code and the unit tests are inconsistent. + +**Commit message**: + +``` +fix(auth): always set Secure attribute on auth cookies (CWE-614) + +Remove the conditional secure = false path that CodeQL flags as +go/cookie-secure-not-set. The Secure flag is now unconditionally +true on all SetCookie calls. + +Browsers apply the localhost exception (Chrome 66+, Firefox 75+, +Safari 14+), so Secure cookies over HTTP to 127.0.0.1 and localhost +work correctly in development. Direct private-IP HTTP access was +never a supported deployment mode; Charon is designed to run behind +Caddy with TLS termination. + +Removes the inline codeql[go/cookie-secure-not-set] suppression which +masked the finding without correcting it, and updates the five unit +tests that previously asserted Secure = false for local-network HTTP. +``` + +**PR title**: `fix(auth): set Secure attribute unconditionally on auth cookies (CWE-614)` + +**PR labels**: `security`, `fix` + +--- + +## 7. Acceptance Criteria + +A successful remediation satisfies all of the following: + +### 7.1 CodeQL CI Passes + +1.

No new findings are introduced in `go/cookie-httponly-not-set` or any adjacent cookie rule. +3.

{urlError}

` - -**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: `` with TCP Addresses (Informational) - -**Assessment: ℹ️ INFORMATIONAL — No security risk** - -TCP monitor URLs (e.g., `192.168.1.1:8080`) are rendered inside ``. 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`. --- ## Summary | Check | Result | Notes | -|-------|--------|-------| -| TypeScript | ✅ PASS | 0 errors | -| ESLint | ✅ PASS | 0 errors, 839 pre-existing warnings | -| Local Patch Report | ✅ PASS | Artifacts generated | -| Unit Tests (TCP UX) | ✅ PASS | 10/10 | -| Full Unit Suite | ✅ NO FAILURES OBSERVED | Coverage % deferred to CI | -| Lefthook Pre-commit | ✅ PASS | All 6 active hooks passed | -| Trivy | ⚠️ N/A | Not installed; Semgrep used as compensating control | -| Semgrep | ✅ PASS | 0 findings | -| XSS (`urlError`) | ✅ NOT EXPLOITABLE | i18n value + React JSX escaping | -| Scheme check bypass | ⚠️ LOW | Frontend UX guard only; backend must validate | -| `handleSubmit` guard | ✅ CORRECT | Defense-in-depth as designed | +|---|---|---| +| Backend unit tests | ✅ PASS | 0 failures, 88.0% coverage (gate: 87%) | +| Lint | ✅ PASS | 0 issues | +| Pre-commit hooks | ✅ PASS | All 6 active hooks passed | +| Trivy | ✅ PASS | No new HIGH/CRITICAL vulns | +| `secure = false` removed | ✅ CLEARED | 0 matches in handlers package | +| CodeQL suppression removed | ✅ CLEARED | 0 matches in handlers package | --- ## 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. + ---
