# Manual DNS Provider Guide
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
The Manual DNS Provider allows you to obtain SSL/TLS certificates using the ACME DNS-01 challenge when your DNS provider is not directly supported by Charon. Instead of automating DNS record creation, Charon displays the required TXT record details for you to create manually at your DNS provider.
|
||||
|
||||
### When to Use Manual DNS
|
||||
|
||||
Use the Manual DNS Provider when:
|
||||
|
||||
- Your DNS provider is not in the [supported providers list](dns-providers.md)
|
||||
- You need a one-time certificate for testing or development
|
||||
- You want to verify your DNS setup before configuring automated providers
|
||||
- Your organization requires manual approval for DNS changes
|
||||
|
||||
### How It Works
|
||||
|
||||
1. You request a certificate for your domain (e.g., `*.example.com`)
|
||||
2. Charon generates the DNS challenge and displays the TXT record details
|
||||
3. You create the TXT record at your DNS provider
|
||||
4. You click "Verify" to confirm the record exists
|
||||
5. Charon completes the ACME challenge and issues the certificate
|
||||
|
||||
## Prerequisites
|
||||
|
||||
Before using the Manual DNS Provider, ensure you have:
|
||||
|
||||
- **DNS Management Access:** Login credentials for your DNS provider's control panel
|
||||
- **Domain Ownership:** Administrative access to the domain you want to secure
|
||||
- **Time Availability:** The challenge must be completed within **10 minutes**
|
||||
- **Charon Setup:** A running Charon instance with the encryption key configured
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup Guide
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 1: Add the Manual DNS Provider
|
||||
|
||||
1. Log in to your Charon dashboard
|
||||
2. Navigate to **Settings** → **DNS Providers**
|
||||
3. Click **Add Provider**
|
||||
4. Select **Manual (No Automation)** from the provider list
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 2: Configure Provider Settings
|
||||
|
||||
Fill in the configuration form:
|
||||
|
||||
| Field | Description | Recommended Value |
|
||||
|-------|-------------|-------------------|
|
||||
| **Provider Name** | A descriptive name for this provider | "Manual DNS" |
|
||||
| **Challenge Timeout** | Time (in minutes) to complete the challenge | 10 |
|
||||
|
||||
Click **Save** to create the provider.
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 3: Create a Proxy Host with Manual DNS
|
||||
|
||||
1. Navigate to **Proxy Hosts**
|
||||
2. Click **Add Proxy Host**
|
||||
3. Enter your domain (e.g., `*.example.com` for wildcard)
|
||||
4. Select your **Manual DNS** provider
|
||||
5. Configure other proxy settings as needed
|
||||
6. Click **Save**
|
||||
|
||||
Charon will begin the certificate request and display the Manual DNS Challenge interface.
|
||||
|
||||
## Using Manual DNS Challenges
|
||||
|
||||
### Understanding the Challenge Interface
|
||||
|
||||
When you request a certificate using the Manual DNS provider, Charon displays a challenge screen:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
|
||||
│ Manual DNS Challenge │
|
||||

|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Elements:**
|
||||
|
||||
- **Record Name:** The full DNS name where you create the TXT record
|
||||
- **Record Value:** The token value that proves domain ownership
|
||||
- **Time Remaining:** Countdown until the challenge expires
|
||||
- **Copy Buttons:** Click to copy values to your clipboard
|
||||
|
||||
### Step-by-Step: Creating the TXT Record
|
||||
|
||||
Follow these steps to complete the challenge:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Copy the Record Name**
|
||||
- Click the **Copy** button next to the Record Name
|
||||
- This copies `_acme-challenge.example.com` to your clipboard
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Copy the Record Value**
|
||||
- Click the **Copy** button next to the Record Value
|
||||
- This copies the challenge token to your clipboard
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Log in to Your DNS Provider**
|
||||
- Open your DNS provider's control panel in a new browser tab
|
||||
- Navigate to the DNS management section for your domain
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Create a New TXT Record**
|
||||
- Click "Add Record" or similar button
|
||||
- Select **TXT** as the record type
|
||||
- Paste the Record Name (or just `_acme-challenge` depending on your provider)
|
||||
- Paste the Record Value
|
||||
- Set TTL to **300** seconds (5 minutes) or the lowest available option
|
||||
|
||||
5. **Save the DNS Record**
|
||||
- Confirm and save the new TXT record
|
||||
- Wait a few seconds for the change to process
|
||||
|
||||
### Provider-Specific Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
Different DNS providers have different interfaces. Here are common patterns:
|
||||
|
||||
#### Cloudflare (Manual)
|
||||
|
||||
1. Go to **DNS** → **Records**
|
||||
2. Click **Add record**
|
||||
3. Type: `TXT`
|
||||
4. Name: `_acme-challenge` (Cloudflare adds the domain automatically)
|
||||
5. Content: Paste the challenge token
|
||||
6. TTL: `Auto` or `5 min`
|
||||
|
||||
#### GoDaddy
|
||||
|
||||
1. Go to **DNS Management**
|
||||
2. Click **Add** in the Records section
|
||||
3. Type: `TXT`
|
||||
4. Host: `_acme-challenge`
|
||||
5. TXT Value: Paste the challenge token
|
||||
6. TTL: `1/2 Hour` (minimum)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Namecheap
|
||||
|
||||
1. Go to **Advanced DNS**
|
||||
2. Click **Add New Record**
|
||||
3. Type: `TXT Record`
|
||||
4. Host: `_acme-challenge`
|
||||
5. Value: Paste the challenge token
|
||||
6. TTL: `Automatic`
|
||||
|
||||
#### Generic Providers
|
||||
|
||||
Most providers follow this pattern:
|
||||
|
||||
| Field | What to Enter |
|
||||
|-------|---------------|
|
||||
| Type | TXT |
|
||||
| Host/Name | `_acme-challenge` or full `_acme-challenge.yourdomain.com` |
|
||||
| Value/Content | The challenge token from Charon |
|
||||
| TTL | 300 or lowest available |
|
||||
|
||||
### Verifying the Challenge
|
||||
|
||||
After creating the TXT record:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Wait for Propagation**
|
||||
- DNS changes can take 30 seconds to several minutes to propagate
|
||||
- The "Check DNS Now" button lets you verify without triggering the full challenge
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Click "Check DNS Now" (Optional)**
|
||||
- Charon queries DNS to see if your record exists
|
||||
- Status updates to show if the record was found
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Click "I've Created the Record - Verify"**
|
||||
- Charon sends the verification to the ACME server
|
||||
- If successful, the certificate is issued
|
||||
- If the record is not found, you can try again (within the time limit)
|
||||
|
||||
### Challenge Status Messages
|
||||
|
||||
| Status | Meaning | Action |
|
||||
|--------|---------|--------|
|
||||
| **Pending** | Waiting for you to create the DNS record | Create the TXT record |
|
||||
| **Checking DNS** | Charon is verifying the record exists | Wait for result |
|
||||
| **DNS Found** | Record detected, verifying with ACME | Wait for completion |
|
||||
| **Verified** | Challenge completed successfully | Certificate issued! |
|
||||
| **Expired** | Time limit exceeded | Start a new challenge |
|
||||
| **Failed** | Verification failed | Check record and retry |
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting Common Issues
|
||||
|
||||
### "DNS record not found"
|
||||
|
||||
**Possible Causes:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Typo in record name or value**
|
||||
- Double-check you copied the exact values from Charon
|
||||
- Some providers require just `_acme-challenge`, others need the full domain
|
||||
|
||||
2. **DNS propagation delay**
|
||||
- Wait 1-2 minutes and try "Check DNS Now" again
|
||||
- Use [DNS Checker](https://dnschecker.org/) to verify propagation
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Wrong DNS zone**
|
||||
- Ensure you're editing the correct domain's DNS
|
||||
- For subdomains, the record goes in the parent zone
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution:**
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Verify your record from command line
|
||||
dig TXT _acme-challenge.example.com +short
|
||||
|
||||
# Expected output: Your challenge token in quotes
|
||||
"gZrH7wL9t3kM2nP4qX5yR8sT0uV1wZ2aB3cD4eF5gH6i"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### "Challenge expired"
|
||||
|
||||
**Cause:** The 10-minute time limit was exceeded.
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. Click **Cancel Challenge** or wait for it to clear
|
||||
2. Start a new certificate request
|
||||
3. Have your DNS provider's control panel ready before starting
|
||||
4. Create the record immediately after copying the values
|
||||
|
||||
### "Challenge already in progress"
|
||||
|
||||
**Cause:** Another challenge is active for the same domain.
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. Wait for the existing challenge to complete or expire
|
||||
2. If you started the challenge, navigate to the pending challenge screen
|
||||
3. Complete or cancel the existing challenge before starting a new one
|
||||
|
||||
### "Verification failed"
|
||||
|
||||
**Possible Causes:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Record value mismatch**
|
||||
- Ensure no extra spaces or characters in the TXT value
|
||||
- Some providers add quotes automatically; don't add your own
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Wrong record type**
|
||||
- Must be a TXT record, not CNAME or other type
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Cached old record**
|
||||
- If you had a previous challenge, the old record might be cached
|
||||
- Delete any existing `_acme-challenge` records before creating new ones
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. Delete the existing TXT record
|
||||
2. Wait 2 minutes for cache to clear
|
||||
3. Create a new record with the exact values from Charon
|
||||
4. Click "Verify" again
|
||||
|
||||
### DNS Provider Rate Limits
|
||||
|
||||
Some providers limit how frequently you can modify DNS records.
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptoms:**
|
||||
|
||||
- "Too many requests" error
|
||||
- Changes not appearing immediately
|
||||
- API errors in provider dashboard
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. Wait 5-10 minutes before retrying
|
||||
2. Contact your DNS provider if issues persist
|
||||
3. Consider using a provider with better API limits for frequent certificate operations
|
||||
|
||||
## Limitations
|
||||
|
||||
### Auto-Renewal Not Supported
|
||||
|
||||
> **Important:** The Manual DNS Provider **does not support automatic certificate renewal**.
|
||||
|
||||
When your certificate approaches expiration:
|
||||
|
||||
1. You will receive a notification (if notifications are configured)
|
||||
2. You must manually initiate a new certificate request
|
||||
3. You must complete the DNS challenge again
|
||||
|
||||
**Recommendation:** Use the Manual DNS Provider only for:
|
||||
|
||||
- Initial testing and verification
|
||||
- One-time certificates
|
||||
- Domains where you plan to migrate to an automated provider
|
||||
|
||||
For production use with automatic renewal, consider:
|
||||
|
||||
- [Supported DNS Providers](dns-providers.md)
|
||||
- [Webhook DNS Provider](../features/webhook-dns.md) for custom integrations
|
||||
- [RFC 2136 Provider](../features/rfc2136-dns.md) for self-hosted DNS
|
||||
|
||||
### Challenge Timeout
|
||||
|
||||
The DNS challenge must be completed within **10 minutes** (default). This includes:
|
||||
|
||||
- Creating the TXT record
|
||||
- Waiting for DNS propagation
|
||||
- Clicking "Verify"
|
||||
|
||||
If you frequently run out of time:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Have your DNS provider control panel open before starting
|
||||
2. Use a provider with faster propagation
|
||||
3. Consider a different approach for complex setups
|
||||
|
||||
### Single Challenge at a Time
|
||||
|
||||
Only one manual challenge can be active per domain (FQDN) at a time. If you need certificates for multiple domains, complete each challenge sequentially.
|
||||
|
||||
## Frequently Asked Questions
|
||||
|
||||
### Can I use Manual DNS for production certificates?
|
||||
|
||||
Yes, but with caveats. The certificate itself is the same as those obtained through automated providers. However, you must remember to manually renew before expiration. For production systems, automated renewal is strongly recommended.
|
||||
|
||||
### How long does DNS propagation take?
|
||||
|
||||
DNS propagation typically takes:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Cloudflare:** Near-instant (seconds)
|
||||
- **Most providers:** 30 seconds to 2 minutes
|
||||
- **Some providers:** Up to 5-10 minutes
|
||||
|
||||
The Manual DNS Provider's 10-minute timeout accommodates most scenarios.
|
||||
|
||||
### Can I use a shorter TTL?
|
||||
|
||||
Yes. Lower TTL values (60-300 seconds) help because:
|
||||
|
||||
- Changes propagate faster
|
||||
- Cached records expire sooner if you need to retry
|
||||
|
||||
Set the TTL to the lowest value your provider allows.
|
||||
|
||||
### What happens if I enter the wrong value?
|
||||
|
||||
The verification will fail with "DNS record not found" or "Verification failed." Simply:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Delete the incorrect TXT record
|
||||
2. Create a new record with the correct value
|
||||
3. Click "Verify" again (if time permits)
|
||||
|
||||
### Can I use Manual DNS for multi-domain certificates?
|
||||
|
||||
Yes, but each domain requires its own TXT record. For a certificate covering `example.com` and `www.example.com`:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Charon displays challenges for each domain
|
||||
2. Create TXT records for each `_acme-challenge` subdomain
|
||||
3. Verify each challenge in sequence
|
||||
|
||||
### Is the Manual DNS Provider secure?
|
||||
|
||||
Yes. The Manual DNS Provider:
|
||||
|
||||
- Uses the same ACME protocol as automated providers
|
||||
- Encrypts all data at rest
|
||||
- Requires authentication for all operations
|
||||
- Logs all challenge activity for auditing
|
||||
|
||||
The security of your certificate depends on:
|
||||
|
||||
- Protecting your DNS provider credentials
|
||||
- Not sharing challenge tokens publicly
|
||||
- Completing challenges promptly
|
||||
|
||||
### How do I delete a Manual DNS Provider?
|
||||
|
||||
1. Navigate to **Settings** → **DNS Providers**
|
||||
2. Find your Manual DNS provider in the list
|
||||
3. Ensure no proxy hosts are using it (migrate them first)
|
||||
4. Click the **Delete** button
|
||||
5. Confirm deletion

|

|
||||
#### 3.3.5 Concurrent Challenge Handling
|
||||
|
||||
To prevent race conditions when multiple certificate requests target the same FQDN simultaneously:
|
||||
|
||||
**Database Locking Strategy:**
|
||||
```sql
|
||||
-- Acquire exclusive lock when creating challenge for FQDN
|
||||
BEGIN;
|
||||
SELECT * FROM dns_challenges
|
||||
WHERE fqdn = '_acme-challenge.example.com'
|
||||
AND status IN ('created', 'pending', 'verifying')
|
||||
FOR UPDATE NOWAIT;
|
||||
-- If lock acquired and no active challenge exists, create new challenge
|
||||
-- Otherwise, return CHALLENGE_IN_PROGRESS error
|
||||
COMMIT;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Queueing Behavior:**
|
||||
| Scenario | Behavior |
|
||||
|----------|----------|
|
||||
| No active challenge for FQDN | Create new challenge immediately |
|
||||
| Active challenge exists (same user) | Return existing challenge ID |
|
||||
| Active challenge exists (different user) | Return `CHALLENGE_IN_PROGRESS` (409) |
|
||||
| Active challenge expired/failed | Allow new challenge creation |
|
||||
|
||||
**Implementation Requirements:**
|
||||
```go
|
||||
func (s *ChallengeService) CreateChallenge(ctx context.Context, fqdn string, userID uint) (*Challenge, error) {
|
||||
tx := s.db.Begin()
|
||||
defer tx.Rollback()
|
||||
|
||||
// Attempt to acquire lock on existing active challenges
|
||||
var existing Challenge
|
||||
err := tx.Set("gorm:query_option", "FOR UPDATE NOWAIT").
|
||||
Where("fqdn = ? AND status IN (?)", fqdn, []string{"created", "pending", "verifying"}).
|
||||
First(&existing).Error
|
||||
|
||||
if err == nil {
|
||||
// Active challenge exists
|
||||
if existing.UserID == userID {
|
||||
return &existing, nil // Return existing challenge to same user
|
||||
}
|
||||
return nil, ErrChallengeInProgress // Different user, reject
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
if !errors.Is(err, gorm.ErrRecordNotFound) {
|
||||
return nil, fmt.Errorf("lock acquisition failed: %w", err)
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// No active challenge, create new one
|
||||
challenge := &Challenge{FQDN: fqdn, UserID: userID, Status: "created"}
|
||||
if err := tx.Create(challenge).Error; err != nil {
|
||||
return nil, err
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
tx.Commit()
|
||||
return challenge, nil
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Timeout Handling:**
|
||||
- Challenges automatically transition to `expired` after 10 minutes
|
||||
- Expired challenges release the "lock" on the FQDN
|
||||
- Subsequent requests can then create new challenges

"insecure_skip_verify": false

}

```
|
||||
|

> ⚠️ **WARNING:** Setting `insecure_skip_verify: true` disables TLS certificate validation. This should ONLY be used in development/testing environments with self-signed certificates. NEVER enable in production.
|
||||
|
||||
**Idempotency Requirement:**
|
||||
Webhook endpoints MUST support the `request_id` field for request deduplication. Charon will include a unique `request_id` (UUIDv4) in every webhook payload. Webhook implementations SHOULD:
|
||||
1. Store processed `request_id` values with a TTL of at least 24 hours
|
||||
2. Return cached response for duplicate `request_id` values
|
||||
3. Use `request_id` for audit logging correlation

#### Security Requirements (Mandatory)
|
||||
|
||||
**Argument Sanitization:**
|
||||
All script arguments MUST be validated against a strict allowlist pattern:
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
var validArgumentPattern = regexp.MustCompile(`^[a-zA-Z0-9._=-]+$`)
|
||||
|
||||
func sanitizeArgument(arg string) (string, error) {

for i, arg := range args {
|
||||
sanitized, err := sanitizeArgument(arg)

|
||||
return fmt.Errorf("argument %d contains invalid characters: %w", i, err)
|
||||
}
|
||||
args[i] = sanitized
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Symlink Resolution:**
|
||||
Path validation MUST use `filepath.EvalSymlinks()` BEFORE checking the allowed directory prefix to prevent symlink escape attacks:
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
func validateScriptPath(scriptPath string) error {
|
||||
// CRITICAL: Resolve symlinks FIRST
|
||||
resolvedPath, err := filepath.EvalSymlinks(scriptPath)
|
||||
if err != nil {
|
||||
return fmt.Errorf("failed to resolve script path: %w", err)
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Then validate resolved path is within allowed directory
|
||||
absPath, err := filepath.Abs(resolvedPath)
|
||||
if err != nil {
|
||||
return fmt.Errorf("failed to resolve absolute path: %w", err)
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
allowedDir := "/scripts/"
|
||||
if !strings.HasPrefix(absPath, allowedDir) {
|
||||
return ErrScriptPathInvalid
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
return nil
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Resource Limits (MANDATORY):**
|
||||
The following rlimits MUST be enforced for all script executions:
|
||||
|
||||
| Resource | Limit | Purpose |
|
||||
|----------|-------|------|
|
||||
| `RLIMIT_NOFILE` | 256 | Prevent file descriptor exhaustion |
|
||||
| `RLIMIT_NPROC` | 64 | Prevent fork bombs |
|
||||
| `RLIMIT_AS` | 256MB | Prevent memory exhaustion |
|
||||
| `RLIMIT_CPU` | 60s | Prevent CPU exhaustion |
|
||||
| `RLIMIT_FSIZE` | 10MB | Prevent disk filling |
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
// MANDATORY: Apply rlimits before script execution
|
||||
func setMandatoryResourceLimits() error {
|
||||
limits := []struct {
|
||||
resource int

|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
return nil
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Environment Variable Clearing:**
|
||||
Inherited environment variables MUST be explicitly cleared before setting script environment:
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
func executeScript(scriptPath string, args []string, userEnv map[string]string) error {
|
||||
cmd := exec.CommandContext(ctx, scriptPath, args...)
|
||||
|
||||
// CRITICAL: Start with empty environment (clear inherited vars)
|
||||
cmd.Env = []string{}
|
||||
|
||||
// Add only essential system variables
|
||||
cmd.Env = append(cmd.Env,
|
||||
"PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin",
|
||||
"HOME=/tmp",
|
||||
"LANG=C.UTF-8",
|
||||
"TZ=UTC",
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
// Add user-provided environment variables (after validation)
|
||||
for key, value := range userEnv {
|
||||
if err := validateEnvVar(key, value); err != nil {
|
||||
return fmt.Errorf("invalid env var %s: %w", key, err)

|
||||
}
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
**Secure Memory Handling for TSIG Secrets:**
|
||||
|
||||
TSIG secrets MUST be handled securely in memory:
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
import "github.com/awnumar/memguard"
|
||||
|
||||
type RFC2136Provider struct {
|
||||
tsigSecret *memguard.Enclave // Encrypted in memory
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
func (r *RFC2136Provider) SetTSIGSecret(secret []byte) error {
|
||||
// Store secret in encrypted memory enclave
|
||||
enclave := memguard.NewEnclave(secret)
|
||||
|
||||
// Immediately wipe the source buffer
|
||||
memguard.WipeBytes(secret)
|
||||
|
||||
r.tsigSecret = enclave
|
||||
return nil
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
func (r *RFC2136Provider) Cleanup() error {
|
||||
if r.tsigSecret != nil {
|
||||
r.tsigSecret.Destroy()
|
||||
}
|
||||
return nil
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Requirements:**
|
||||
1. TSIG secrets MUST be stored in encrypted memory enclaves when in use
|
||||
2. Source buffers containing secrets MUST be wiped immediately after copying
|
||||
3. Secrets MUST NOT appear in debug output, stack traces, or core dumps
|
||||
4. Provider `Cleanup()` MUST securely destroy all secret material

#### Session Security Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
**Challenge-User Binding:**
|
||||
Manual challenges MUST be bound to the authenticated user's session:
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
type Challenge struct {
|
||||
ID string `json:"id"` // UUIDv4 (cryptographically random)
|
||||
UserID uint `json:"user_id"` // Owner of this challenge
|
||||
SessionID string `json:"-"` // Session that created challenge
|
||||
// ... other fields
|

}

|

|
||||
return ErrChallengeNotFound
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
if challenge.UserID != userID {
|
||||
// Log potential unauthorized access attempt
|
||||
s.auditLog.Warn("unauthorized challenge access attempt",
|
||||
"challenge_id", challengeID,
|
||||
"owner_id", challenge.UserID,
|
||||
"requester_id", userID,
|
||||
)
|
||||
return ErrUnauthorized
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
return nil
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**CSRF Protection:**
|
||||
All state-changing operations (POST, PUT, DELETE) on manual challenges MUST validate CSRF tokens:
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
// Middleware for manual challenge endpoints
|
||||
func CSRFProtection(next http.Handler) http.Handler {
|
||||
return http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
|
||||
if r.Method == "POST" || r.Method == "PUT" || r.Method == "DELETE" {
|
||||
token := r.Header.Get("X-CSRF-Token")
|
||||
sessionToken := getSessionCSRFToken(r)
|
||||
|
||||
if !secureCompare(token, sessionToken) {
|
||||
http.Error(w, "CSRF token mismatch", http.StatusForbidden)
|
||||
return
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
next.ServeHTTP(w, r)
|
||||
})
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Challenge ID Generation:**
|
||||
Challenge IDs MUST use cryptographically random UUIDs (UUIDv4):
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
import "github.com/google/uuid"
|
||||
|
||||
func generateChallengeID() string {
|
||||
// UUIDv4 uses crypto/rand, providing 122 bits of randomness
|
||||
return uuid.New().String()
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// DO NOT use:
|
||||
// - Sequential IDs (predictable)
|
||||
// - UUIDv1 (contains timestamp/MAC address)
|
||||
// - Custom random without proper entropy
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Session Validation on Each Request:**
|
||||
| Endpoint | Required Validations |
|
||||
|----------|---------------------|
|
||||
| `GET /manual-challenge/:id` | Valid session, challenge.user_id == session.user_id |
|
||||
| `POST /manual-challenge/:id/verify` | Valid session, CSRF token, challenge ownership |
|
||||
| `DELETE /manual-challenge/:id` | Valid session, CSRF token, challenge ownership |
|
||||
|
||||
**Note:** Although Charon has existing WebSocket infrastructure (`backend/internal/services/websocket_tracker.go`), polling is chosen for simplicity:

### 9.4 Audit Logging
|
||||
### 9.4 Log Redaction Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
All custom plugin operations MUST be logged:
|
||||
Sensitive data MUST be redacted from all logs, including debug logs, error messages, and audit trails.
|
||||
|
||||
**Required Redaction Patterns:**
|
||||
|
||||
| Field Pattern | Redaction | Example |
|
||||
|---------------|-----------|--------|
|
||||
| `api_token` | `[REDACTED:api_token]` | `Bearer abc123` → `Bearer [REDACTED:api_token]` |
|
||||
| `api_key` | `[REDACTED:api_key]` | `X-API-Key: secret` → `X-API-Key: [REDACTED:api_key]` |
|
||||
| `secret` | `[REDACTED:secret]` | `client_secret=xyz` → `client_secret=[REDACTED:secret]` |
|
||||
| `password` | `[REDACTED:password]` | `password=abc` → `password=[REDACTED:password]` |
|
||||
| `tsig_key_secret` | `[REDACTED:tsig_secret]` | TSIG key value → `[REDACTED:tsig_secret]` |
|
||||
| `authorization` | `[REDACTED:auth]` | `Authorization: Bearer ...` → `Authorization: [REDACTED:auth]` |
|
||||
| `bearer` | `[REDACTED:bearer]` | Bearer token values → `[REDACTED:bearer]` |
|
||||
|
||||
**Implementation:**
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
import "regexp"
|
||||
|
||||
var sensitivePatterns = []struct {
|
||||
pattern *regexp.Regexp

|
||||
}
|
||||

||||
func RedactSensitiveData(input string) string {
|
||||
result := input

||||
for _, sp := range sensitivePatterns {

||||
result = sp.pattern.ReplaceAllString(result, sp.replace)
|
||||
}
|
||||
return result
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Apply to all log output
|
||||
func (l *Logger) LogWithRedaction(level, msg string, fields map[string]any) {

||||
// Redact message

||||
msg = RedactSensitiveData(msg)

// Redact field values

||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
l.underlying.Log(level, msg, fields)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Enforcement:**
|
||||
- All plugin code MUST use the redacting logger
|
||||
- Pre-commit hooks SHOULD scan for potential credential logging
|
||||
- Security tests MUST verify no secrets appear in logs
|

# Unused Code Audit Report
|
||||
|
||||
**Generated:** January 12, 2026
|
||||
**Project:** Charon
|
||||
**Audit Scope:** Backend (Go) and Frontend (TypeScript/React)
|
||||
|
||||
## Executive Summary
|
||||
|
||||
This audit examined the Charon project for unused code elements using the following linting tools:
|
||||
1. **Go Vet** - Static analysis for Go code
|
||||
2. **Staticcheck** - Advanced Go linter
|
||||
3. **ESLint** - Frontend JavaScript/TypeScript linter
|
||||
4. **TypeScript Compiler** - Type checking and unused code detection
|
||||
|
||||
### Findings Overview
|
||||
|
||||
| Category | Count | Severity |
|
||||
|----------|-------|----------|
|
||||
| Unused Variables (Frontend) | 1 | Low |
|
||||
| Unused Type Annotations (Frontend) | 56 | Low |
|
||||
| Unused Err Values (Backend) | 1 | Medium |
|
||||
|
||||
**Total Issues:** 58
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 1. Backend (Go) Unused Code
|
||||
|
||||
### 1.1 Unused Variables
|
||||
|
||||
#### File: `internal/services/certificate_service_test.go`
|
||||
- **Line:** 397
|
||||
- **Issue:** Value of `err` is never used
|
||||
- **Code Context:**
|
||||
```go
|
||||
// Line 397
|
||||
err := someOperation()
|
||||
// err is assigned but never checked or used
|
||||
```
|
||||
- **Severity:** Medium
|
||||
- **Recommendation:** Either check the error with proper error handling or use `_ = err` if intentionally ignoring
|
||||
- **Safe to Remove:** No - Needs review. Error should be handled or explicitly ignored.
|
||||
- **Category:** Unused Assignment (SA4006)
|
||||
|
||||
### 1.2 Analysis Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- **Go Vet:** Passed with no issues (exit code 0)
|
||||
- **Staticcheck:** Identified 1 unused value issue
|
||||
- No unused imports detected
|
||||
- No unused functions detected
|
||||
- No unused constants detected
|
||||
|
||||
The Go codebase is generally very clean with minimal unused code.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 2. Frontend (TypeScript/React) Unused Code
|
||||
|
||||
### 2.1 Unused Variables
|
||||
|
||||
#### File: `frontend/src/components/CredentialManager.tsx`
|
||||
- **Line:** 370
|
||||
- **Variable:** `zone_filter`
|
||||
- **Code Context:**
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
const { zone_filter, ...rest } = prev
|
||||
return rest
|
||||
```
|
||||
- **Severity:** Low
|
||||
- **Recommendation:** This is a destructuring assignment used to remove `zone_filter` from the object. This is intentional and follows the pattern of "destructuring to omit properties".
|
||||
- **Safe to Remove:** No - This is intentional code, not unused.
|
||||
- **Category:** Unused Variable (False Positive)
|
||||
- **Notes:** ESLint flags this as unused, but it's actually a common React pattern to extract and discard specific properties. Consider adding `// eslint-disable-next-line @typescript-eslint/no-unused-vars` if this warning is unwanted.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2.2 Type Annotation Issues (Not Unused Code)
|
||||
|
||||
The frontend linter reported 56 warnings about using `any` type. These are **NOT** unused code issues but rather type safety warnings.

|
||||
**File:** `src/components/CredentialManager.tsx`
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// Line 71
|
||||
const handleChange = (field: string, value: any) => { // ⚠️ any type
|
||||
// ...
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Line 93
|
||||
const handleFieldChange = (field: string, value: any) => { // ⚠️ any type
|
||||
// ...
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Line 429
|
||||
catch (error: any) { // ⚠️ any type
|
||||
// ...
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**File:** `src/components/DNSProviderForm.tsx`
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// Line 67
|
||||
const handleCredentialChange = (field: string, value: any) => { // ⚠️ any type
|
||||
// ...
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Line 93
|
||||
const getFieldValue = (field: string): any => { // ⚠️ any type
|
||||
// ...
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Severity:** Low
|
||||
**Recommendation:** Replace `any` with proper TypeScript types for better type safety. This is a code quality issue, not unused code.
|
||||
**Safe to Remove:** N/A - These are not unused; they need type improvements.
|
||||
**Category:** Type Safety Warning

|
||||
|
||||
## 3. Detailed Findings by Category
|
||||
|
||||
### 3.1 Unused Imports
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
No unused imports were detected in either backend or frontend code.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
**Status:** ✅ None found
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 4. Recommendations
|
||||
|
||||
### 4.1 Immediate Actions
|
||||
|
||||
#### High Priority
|
||||
None
|
||||
|
||||
#### Medium Priority
|
||||
1. **Fix Backend Error Handling** (`internal/services/certificate_service_test.go:397`)
|
||||
- Review the error assignment and add proper error handling
|
||||
- If intentionally ignoring, use `_ = err` with a comment explaining why
|
||||
|
||||
### 4.2 Code Quality Improvements
|
||||
|
||||
#### Replace `any` Types (Low Priority)
|
||||
The 56 instances of `any` type should be replaced with proper TypeScript types:
|
||||
- **Test files:** Consider using `unknown` or specific mock types
|
||||
- **Error handlers:** Use `Error` or `unknown` type
|
||||
- **Event handlers:** Use proper React event types
|
||||
- **Generic handlers:** Create proper type definitions
|
||||
|
||||
**Example Refactoring:**
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// Before
|
||||
catch (error: any) {
|
||||
console.error(error)
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// After
|
||||
catch (error: unknown) {
|
||||
if (error instanceof Error) {
|
||||
console.error(error.message)
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
console.error('Unknown error occurred')
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### False Positive Handling
|
||||
For the `zone_filter` variable in `CredentialManager.tsx:370`, add an ESLint disable comment if the warning is bothersome:
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// eslint-disable-next-line @typescript-eslint/no-unused-vars
|
||||
const { zone_filter, ...rest } = prev
|
||||
```

|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 6. Code Coverage Context
|
||||
|
||||
The project demonstrates excellent code hygiene with:
|
||||
- No unused imports
|
||||
- No unused functions
|
||||
- Minimal unused variables
|
||||
- Clean dependency management
|
||||
- Good test coverage
|
||||
|
||||
The only actual unused code issue is a single unused error value in a test file, which is a minor oversight that should be addressed.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 7. Summary and Action Items
|
||||
|
||||
### Critical Issues
|
||||
**Count:** 0
|
||||
|
||||
### Important Issues
|
||||
**Count:** 1

|
||||
### Suggested Improvements
|
||||
**Count:** 57
|
||||
- [ ] Replace `any` types with proper TypeScript types (56 instances)
|
||||
- [ ] Consider adding ESLint directive for intentional destructuring pattern (1 instance)
|
||||
|
||||
### Overall Assessment
|
||||
**Status:** ✅ Excellent
|
||||
|
||||
The codebase is remarkably clean with minimal unused code. The only true unused code issue is a single error value in a test file. The majority of linting warnings are related to type safety (use of `any`), not unused code.
