M-023 (PCI-DSS Req 4 §2.2.5) — Legacy EST/SCEP reverse-proxy runbook docs/legacy-est-scep.md (NEW): operator runbook for embedded EST/SCEP clients that only speak TLS 1.2 against a TLS-1.3-pinned certctl listener. Sections: - 3-condition gate for when this runbook applies - Architecture diagram (legacy client -> proxy TLS 1.2 -> certctl TLS 1.3) - Full nginx config with ssl_protocols TLSv1.2 TLSv1.3 + ECDHE AEAD-only ciphers + mTLS optional verification + proxy_ssl_protocols TLSv1.3 on the backend hop - HAProxy alternative config with ssl-min-ver TLSv1.2 frontend + ssl-min-ver TLSv1.3 backend - certctl-side env vars: CERTCTL_EST_PROXY_TRUSTED_SOURCES (CIDR allowlist of trusted proxies) + CERTCTL_EST_TRUST_PROXY_CLIENT_CERT_HEADER (toggle header-as-identity). Dual-knob design forces operators to think about header spoofing. - PCI-DSS Req 4 v4.0 §2.2.5 attestation language - Forward-look on TLS 1.2 deprecation watch certctl listener stays pinned at TLS 1.3 minimum (cmd/server/tls.go:131); the proxy-to-certctl hop is also TLS 1.3. M-024 (NIST SSDF PW.7.2) — govulncheck hard gate .github/workflows/ci.yml: 'Run govulncheck' step renamed to 'Run govulncheck (M-024 hard gate)' with updated comment block documenting why no carve-out is needed. Bundle E's transitive bumps (x/net 0.42->0.47, x/crypto 0.41->0.45) cleared the 5 L-021 deferred-call advisories that the original Bundle F prompt designed an exception list for. Plain 'govulncheck ./...' is now the right gate; default exit-code semantics fail on any future called-vuln advisory. Deferred-call advisories that legitimately can't be remediated should land in a NIST SSDF deviation log in docs/security.md, not be silenced. Audit endgame: 51/55 closed (93%). Remaining open items don't require further bundle work: - M-029 frontend per-page migration backlog — closes per-PR - L-004 rotation infra — explicit scope-pivot defer - D-003 mutation testing — sandbox-blocked - D-004 DAST suite — wired CI-only via security-deep-scan.yml - D-005 testssl.sh — wired CI-only - D-007 frontend semgrep — wired CI-only Audit deliverables: audit-report.md: score 49/55 -> 51/55 closed; M-023 + M-024 boxes flipped [x] with closure notes. findings.yaml: 2 status flips CHANGELOG.md: Bundle F section + 'Audit endgame' summary --- .github/workflows/ci.yml | 17 +++- CHANGELOG.md | 31 ++++++ docs/legacy-est-scep.md | 199 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 244 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) create mode 100644 docs/legacy-est-scep.md diff --git a/.github/workflows/ci.yml b/.github/workflows/ci.yml index d8c746c..4d86dba 100644 --- a/.github/workflows/ci.yml +++ b/.github/workflows/ci.yml @@ -41,12 +41,23 @@ jobs: - name: Install govulncheck run: go install golang.org/x/vuln/cmd/govulncheck@latest - - name: Run govulncheck + - name: Run govulncheck (M-024 hard gate) # Bundle-7 / D-001 partial: govulncheck distinguishes called-vs-uncalled # advisories.
