Patch vulnerable transitive dependencies across all three compiled
binaries in the Docker image (backend, Caddy, CrowdSec):
- go-jose/v3 and v4: JOSE/JWT validation bypass (CVE-2026-34986)
- otel/sdk: resource leak in OpenTelemetry SDK (CVE-2026-39883)
- pgproto3/v2: buffer overflow via pgx/v4 bump (CVE-2026-32286)
- AWS SDK v2: event stream injection in CrowdSec deps (GHSA-xmrv-pmrh-hhx2)
- OTel HTTP exporters: request smuggling (CVE-2026-39882)
- gRPC: bumped to v1.80.0 for transitive go-jose/v4 resolution
All Dockerfile patches include Renovate annotations for automated
future tracking. Renovate config extended to cover Go version and
GitHub Action refs in skill example workflows, preventing version
drift in non-CI files. SECURITY.md updated with pre-existing Alpine
base image CVE (no upstream fix available).
Nightly Go stdlib CVEs (1.26.1) self-heal on next development sync;
example workflow pinned to 1.26.2 for correctness.
- Remove the conditional secure=false branch from setSecureCookie that
allowed cookies to be issued without the Secure flag when requests
arrived over HTTP from localhost or RFC 1918 private addresses
- Pass the literal true to c.SetCookie directly, eliminating the
dataflow path that triggered CodeQL go/cookie-secure-not-set (CWE-614)
- Remove the now-dead codeql suppression comment; the root cause is
gone, not merely silenced
- Update setSecureCookie doc comment to reflect that Secure is always
true: all major browsers (Chrome 66+, Firefox 75+, Safari 14+) honour
the Secure attribute on localhost HTTP connections, and direct
HTTP-on-private-IP access without TLS is an unsupported deployment
model for Charon which is designed to sit behind Caddy TLS termination
- Update the five TestSetSecureCookie HTTP/local tests that previously
asserted Secure=false to now assert Secure=true, reflecting the
elimination of the insecure code path
- Add Secure=true assertion to TestClearSecureCookie to provide explicit
coverage of the clear-cookie path
The TCP monitor creation form showed a placeholder that instructed users to enter a URL with the tcp:// scheme prefix (e.g., tcp://192.168.1.1:8080). Following this guidance caused a silent HTTP 500 error because Go's net.SplitHostPort rejects any input containing a scheme prefix, expecting bare host:port format only.
- Corrected the urlPlaceholder translation key to remove the tcp:// prefix
- Added per-type dynamic placeholder (urlPlaceholderHttp / urlPlaceholderTcp) so the URL input shows the correct example format as soon as the user selects a monitor type
- Added per-type helper text below the URL input explaining the required format, updated in real time when the type selector changes
- Added client-side validation: typing a scheme prefix (://) in TCP mode shows an inline error and blocks form submission before the request reaches the backend
- Reordered the Create Monitor form so the type selector appears before the URL input, giving users the correct format context before they type
- Type selector onChange now clears any stale urlError to prevent incorrect error messages persisting after switching from TCP back to HTTP
- Added 5 new i18n keys across all 5 supported locales (en, de, fr, es, zh)
- Added 10 RTL unit tests covering all new validation paths including the type-change error-clear scenario
- Added 9 Playwright E2E tests covering placeholder variants, helper text, inline error lifecycle, submission blocking, and successful TCP creation
Closes #issue-5 (TCP monitor UI cannot add monitor when following placeholder)
- Added HTTP status checks for login and security config POST requests to ensure proper error handling.
- Implemented a readiness gate for the Caddy admin API before applying security configurations.
- Increased sleep duration before verifying rate limit handler to accommodate Caddy's configuration propagation.
- Changed verification failure from a warning to a hard exit to prevent misleading test results.
- Updated Caddy admin API URL to use the canonical trailing slash in multiple locations.
- Adjusted retry parameters for rate limit verification to reduce polling noise.
- Removed stale GeoIP checksum validation from the Dockerfile's non-CI path to simplify the build process.
The slack sub-tests in TestDiscordOnly_CreateRejectsNonDiscord and
TestBlocker3_CreateProviderRejectsNonDiscordWithSecurityEvents were
omitting the required token field from their request payloads.
CreateProvider enforces that Slack providers must have a non-empty
token (the webhook URL) at creation time. Without it the service
returns "slack webhook URL is required", which the handler does not
classify as a 400 validation error, so it falls through to 500.
Add a token field to each test struct, populate it for the slack
case with a valid-format Slack webhook URL, and use
WithSlackURLValidator to bypass the real format check in unit tests —
matching the pattern used in all existing service-level Slack tests.

- Implemented UI controls for keepalive settings in System Settings, including validation and persistence.
- Added localization support for new keepalive fields in multiple languages.
- Created a manual test tracking plan for verifying keepalive controls and their behavior.
- Updated existing tests to cover new functionality and ensure proper validation of keepalive inputs.
- Ensured safe defaults and fallback behavior for missing or invalid keepalive values.
- Added a new documentation file outlining the manual test plan to validate the SMTP mock server flakiness fix, ensuring improved mail test reliability without affecting production behavior.
- Updated the current specification document to reflect the focus on stabilizing flaky SMTP STARTTLS+AUTH unit tests, including detailed research findings and requirements for the implementation.
- Created a QA/Security validation report for the SMTP flaky test fix, confirming that changes are test-only, stable under repeated runs, and do not introduce new security risks.
This change hardens certificate handler test execution so repeated CI runs are deterministic and no longer fail intermittently under concurrent scheduling and race-mode pressure.
It was necessary because initialization timing and test setup ordering created nondeterministic behavior that produced sporadic failures in the backend test suite.
The result is a stable certificate list test path with explicit validation gates and reproducible test artifacts for auditing.
Known container vulnerability findings remain documented and are treated as an accepted exception for this hotfix scope, with remediation deferred to the dedicated security track.
