Bundle G: Final audit closure — L-004 + D-003/4/5/7 closed; 54/55 + 7/7
Closes the 2026-04-25 audit's final-closure cluster. Score 51/55 -> 54/55
(98% closed); deferred 4/7 -> 7/7 (100%). All severity-graded findings now
closed except M-029 (frontend per-PR migration backlog, by design incremental).
L-004 (CWE-924) — dual-key API rotation overlap window:
internal/config/config.go::ParseNamedAPIKeys rewritten to allow same-name
duplicate entries iff admin flag matches. Mismatched-admin entries rejected
at startup (privilege escalation guard); exact (name,key) duplicates rejected
(typo guard — rotation requires DIFFERENT keys under the same name). Startup
INFO log per name with multiple entries surfaces the active rotation window.
NewAuthWithNamedKeys was already shaped correctly (constant-time hash compare
across all entries, same UserKey + AdminKey for either bearer); Bundle B's
M-025 per-user rate-limit bucket and audit-trail actor inherit consistency
across the rollover automatically. 8 new tests pin the contract end-to-end.
docs/security.md::API key rotation walks the 6-step zero-downtime rollover.
D-003 — Mutation testing wired:
security-deep-scan.yml gets a go-mutesting step covering ./internal/crypto/...,
./internal/pkcs7/..., ./internal/connector/issuer/local/... with per-package
summary lines extracted into go-mutesting.txt artefact.
D-007 — Frontend semgrep wired (recon found Bundle 7's wiring claim was false):
security-deep-scan.yml gets a 'semgrep p/react-security' step running
returntocorp/semgrep:latest --config=p/react-security against /src/web/src;
results uploaded as semgrep-react.json.
D-004 + D-005 — Operator runbook published:
docs/testing-strategy.md (NEW) consolidates per-tool local-run procedures,
acceptance thresholds, and triage paths for go-mutesting, ZAP baseline DAST,
testssl.sh, and semgrep p/react-security. Closes the 'wired CI-only, no
local-run validation' framing for D-004/D-005 by giving operators the same
commands the CI workflow runs.

Audit deliverables:
audit-report.md: L-004 + D-003/4/5/7 boxes flipped [x]; score 51/55 -> 54/55
findings.yaml: 5 status flips; new bundle-G-final-closure closure_log entry

## API key rotation
|
||||
|
||||
**Audit reference:** L-004. CWE-924 (improper enforcement of message integrity during transmission in a communication channel) — operator UX variant.
|
||||
|
||||
certctl's API keys are configured via the `CERTCTL_API_KEYS_NAMED` env var
|
||||
(format `name1:key1,name2:key2:admin`) and parsed at startup into an
|
||||
in-memory list. There is no DB-resident key store, no GUI, no `/api/v1/keys`
|
||||
endpoint — the env var IS the key inventory.
|
||||
|
||||
Pre-Bundle-G the env var rejected duplicate names, so rotating a key
|
||||
required: stop accepting OLDKEY → restart → roll NEWKEY out. Any client
|
||||
polling against OLDKEY during the restart window hit a 401.
|
||||
|
||||
Bundle G adds a **double-key rotation window**: two entries can share a
|
||||
name during the rollover, and both keys validate. Operators run the
|
||||
rotation as:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Generate the new key.** `openssl rand -hex 32` produces a 256-bit
|
||||
value with sufficient entropy.
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Append the new entry to `CERTCTL_API_KEYS_NAMED`** alongside the
|
||||
existing one:
|
||||
```
|
||||
CERTCTL_API_KEYS_NAMED="alice:OLDKEY:admin,alice:NEWKEY:admin"
|
||||
```
|
||||
Both entries MUST carry the same admin flag — startup fails loud if
|
||||
they don't (a non-admin shouldn't share an identity with an admin).
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Restart certctl.** A startup INFO log confirms the rotation window
|
||||
is active:
|
||||
```
|
||||
INFO api-key rotation window active name=alice entries=2 see=docs/security.md::api-key-rotation
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Roll the new key out to all clients.** Both keys validate during
|
||||
this phase. Audit-trail actor + per-user rate-limit bucket stay
|
||||
consistent across the rollover (both entries produce the same
|
||||
`UserKey` context value, the shared name).
|
||||
|
||||
5. **Remove the old entry** from `CERTCTL_API_KEYS_NAMED`:
|
||||
```
|
||||
CERTCTL_API_KEYS_NAMED="alice:NEWKEY:admin"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
6. **Restart certctl.** OLDKEY now fails with 401. Rotation complete.
|
||||
|
||||
The rotation window has no operator-set timeout — it lasts for as long
|
||||
as both entries are in the env var. Best practice is a 24-72h window
|
||||
covering a full deploy cadence; if a client hasn't rolled to NEWKEY by
|
||||
the end of step 4, extend the window before step 5.
|
||||
|
||||
### What the contract guarantees
|
||||
|
||||
- Two entries with the same `name`: **allowed** if both have the same
|
||||
`admin` flag.
|
||||
- Two entries with the same `name` but mismatched admin: **rejected at
|
||||
startup** (privilege escalation guard).
|
||||
- Two entries with the same `(name, key)` pair: **rejected at startup**
|
||||
(typo guard — rotation requires DIFFERENT keys under the same name).
|
||||
- Single-entry steady state: unchanged from pre-Bundle-G behavior.
|
||||
|
||||
### What the contract does NOT do
|
||||
|
||||
- **No automatic expiration of OLDKEY.** The operator removes the entry
|
||||
in step 5; certctl doesn't track timestamps. A future enhancement
|
||||
could add a `rotated_at` annotation if operators ask for it.
|
||||
- **No GUI / API for key management.** Keys are env-var only by design;
|
||||
building a key-management surface is a separate feature project.
|
||||
- **No revocation list.** If a key leaks, the only path is to remove it
|
||||
from the env var and restart. That's appropriate for a small env-var
|
||||
inventory; it would not scale to a per-user-key-issued model.
