Migrated all Docker stages from Alpine 3.23 to Debian Trixie (13) to
address critical CVE in Alpine's gosu package and improve security
update frequency.
Key changes:
Updated CADDY_IMAGE to debian:trixie-slim
Added gosu-builder stage to compile gosu 1.17 from source with Go 1.25.6
Migrated all builder stages to golang:1.25-trixie
Updated package manager from apk to apt-get
Updated user/group creation to use groupadd/useradd
Changed nologin path from /sbin/nologin to /usr/sbin/nologin
Security impact:
Resolved gosu Critical CVE (built from source eliminates vulnerable Go stdlib)
Reduced overall CVE count from 6 (bookworm) to 2 (trixie)
Remaining 2 CVEs are glibc-related with no upstream fix available
All Go binaries verified vulnerability-free by Trivy and govulncheck
Verification:
E2E tests: 243 passed (5 pre-existing failures unrelated to migration)
Backend coverage: 87.2%
Frontend coverage: 85.89%
Pre-commit hooks: 13/13 passed
TypeScript: 0 errors
Refs: CVE-2026-0861 (glibc, no upstream fix - accepted risk)
Phase 2 Complete (99/99 tests passing - 100%):
Created access-lists-crud.spec.ts (44 tests)
CRUD operations, IP/CIDR rules, Geo selection
Security presets, Test IP functionality
Bulk operations, form validation, accessibility
Created certificates.spec.ts (55 tests)
List view, upload custom certificates
Certificate details, status indicators
Delete operations, form accessibility
Integration with proxy hosts
Fixed Access Lists test failures:
Replaced getByPlaceholder with CSS attribute selectors
Fixed Add button interaction using keyboard shortcuts
Fixed strict mode violations with .first()
Overall test suite: 242/252 passing (96%)
7 pre-existing failures tracked in backlog
Part of E2E testing initiative per Definition of Done
Add comprehensive E2E testing infrastructure including:
docker-compose.playwright.yml for test environment orchestration
TestDataManager utility for per-test namespace isolation
Wait helpers for flaky test prevention
Role-based auth fixtures for admin/user/guest testing
GitHub Actions e2e-tests.yml with 4-shard parallelization
Health check utility for service readiness validation
Phase 0 of 10-week E2E testing plan (Supervisor approved 9.2/10)
All 52 existing E2E tests pass with new infrastructure
- Created a comprehensive QA report detailing the audit of three GitHub Actions workflows: propagate-changes.yml, nightly-build.yml, and supply-chain-verify.yml.
- Included sections on pre-commit hooks, YAML syntax validation, security audit findings, logic review, best practices compliance, and specific workflow analysis.
- Highlighted strengths, minor improvements, and recommendations for enhancing security and operational efficiency.
- Documented compliance with SLSA Level 2 and OWASP security best practices.
- Generated report date: 2026-01-13, with a next review scheduled after Phase 3 implementation or 90 days from deployment.
Remove unused pull-requests: write permission from auto-versioning workflow.
The workflow uses GitHub Release API which only requires contents: write
permission. This follows the principle of least privilege.
Changes:
- Removed unused pull-requests: write permission
- Added documentation for cancel-in-progress: false setting
- Created backup of original workflow file
- QA verification complete with all security checks passing
Security Impact:
- Reduces attack surface by removing unnecessary permission
- Maintains functionality (no breaking changes)
- Follows OWASP and CIS security best practices
Related Issues:
- Fixes GH013 repository rule violation on tag creation
- CVE-2024-45337 in build cache (fix available, not in production)
- CVE-2025-68156 in CrowdSec awaiting upstream fix

Linter Configuration Updates:
Add version: 2 to .golangci.yml for golangci-lint v2 compatibility
Scope errcheck exclusions to test files only via path-based rules
Maintain production code error checking while allowing test flexibility
CI/CD Documentation:
Fix CodeQL action version comment in security-pr.yml (v3.28.10 → v4)
Create workflow modularization specification (docs/plans/workflow_modularization_spec.md)
Document GitHub environment protection setup for releases
Verification:
Validated linter runs successfully with properly scoped rules
Confirmed all three workflows (playwright, security-pr, supply-chain-pr) are properly modularized
Feature branch pushes were failing to save artifacts because the image
was pushed to GHCR but not loaded locally. Multi-platform builds
cannot use load:true, so feature branch pushes now build single-platform.
