fix(security): close BUNDLE 5 — auth, OIDC, MCP, API + browser security edges
Bundle 5 closure (2026-05-13 acquisition diligence audit). 13-finding
security audit pass across the auth / OIDC / MCP / API / browser-
security surface. Five real closures shipped in code, two false-as-
stated findings annotated with the existing implementation, three
operator-decision items documented for v3 follow-up, three doc-only
fixes (auth architecture narrative aligned with shipped OIDC).
Source findings closed (code):
S1 break-glass /auth/breakglass/login lacked the documented
5/min per-source-IP rate limit; handler now owns its own
SlidingWindowLimiter wired at startup. Doc claim turns true.
R6 OIDC test_discovery JWKS probe ran on http.DefaultClient;
now uses an http.Client whose transport wraps
validation.SafeHTTPDialContext. JWKS URI can no longer
pivot into reserved-address ranges via DNS rebinding.
R7 Slack + Teams notifiers built http.Client without the SSRF
dial-time guard. Both New() constructors now install
validation.SafeHTTPDialContext; webhook URLs (operator-
configured via dynamic-config GUI) cannot dial 169.254.x or
in-cluster reserved ranges. Test seam: newForTest bypasses
the guard for httptest's 127.0.0.1 binds, mirroring the
existing internal/connector/notifier/webhook pattern.
RT-L2 CERTCTL_ACME_INSECURE=true now emits a prominent
logger.Warn at server boot. Pre-Bundle-5 the knob silently
disabled ACME directory TLS verification.
Source findings closed (doc):
finding 1 + HIGH-5 Architecture doc claimed no in-process JWT/
OIDC/mTLS/SAML and pointed everyone at the
authenticating-gateway pattern. Auth Bundle 2
(commit dea5053) shipped native OIDC + sessions +
break-glass. New §"In-process authentication surface"
table (api-key / oidc / none) supersedes the old framing;
"Authenticating-gateway pattern (SAML, mTLS-as-auth,
LDAP)" section retained for protocols certctl still
doesn't ship natively.
Source findings verified false (existing implementation):
S4 OIDC email-domain allowlist — `email_domain_test.go`
already pins the strict-equality semantics (subdomain not
auto-accepted, multi-entry no-match path, empty allowlist
accepts all by-design per RFC 9700 §4.1.1).
SEC-L1 CSP / HSTS / referrer-policy headers — already shipped at
internal/api/middleware/securityheaders.go and wired at
cmd/server/main.go L2003+L2027+L2115.
Operator-decision / deferred (tracked in bundle-5 closure doc):
S3 CERTCTL_API_KEYS_NAMED parsing is wired, end-to-end
validation is partial. Operator decides: complete the
named-key middleware path or deprecate the syntax.
S5 Audit-middleware best-effort for read paths;
security-critical writes use WithinTx. Operator decides
per-path escalation.
S8 MCP threat model — the binary is a thin protocol bridge,
no privileges of its own; every tool call carries
CERTCTL_API_KEY and is auth'd + RBAC-gated server-side.
Optional CERTCTL_MCP_READ_ONLY gate tracked as v3.
SEC-H1 2026-05-10 audit CRIT-1/2/4 already closed on master;
CRIT-3/5 status against the spec folder is operator-
workstation-validation-only. Documented for follow-up.
SEC-L2 WebAuthn / FIDO2 / step-up — already documented in
docs/operator/auth-threat-model.md "Threats Bundle 2 does
NOT close". v3 work item per CLAUDE.md decision 12.
Full per-finding rationale + receipts at
docs/operator/security-bundle-5-audit-closure.md.

fix(security): close BUNDLE 2 — safe first run, demo mode, agent bootstrap
Bundle 2 closure (2026-05-12 acquisition diligence audit). Closes the
"docker compose up == accidental production" hazard: pre-Bundle-2 the
base deploy/docker-compose.yml WAS the demo path (AUTH_TYPE=none +
DEMO_MODE_ACK=true + KEYGEN_MODE=server + DEMO_SEED=true + literal
change-me-... placeholder creds), the README claimed "drop the demo
overlay for a clean install", and ENVIRONMENTS.md table documented
auth-type default as api-key — three contradictory stories layered on
the same compose file.
Source findings closed:
R2 R3 C1 D9 finding-2 S9 (repo audit)
SEC-H2 SEC-M1 SEC-M3 OPS-M3 LOW-5 HIGH-6 (cowork audit)
Compose split (deploy/docker-compose.yml + deploy/docker-compose.demo.yml):
The base now ships production-shaped — no AUTH_TYPE override, no
KEYGEN_MODE override, no DEMO_MODE_ACK, no DEMO_SEED, no literal
placeholder fallbacks. POSTGRES_PASSWORD / CERTCTL_AUTH_SECRET /
CERTCTL_CONFIG_ENCRYPTION_KEY / CERTCTL_API_KEY / CERTCTL_AGENT_ID
must come from deploy/.env (sample template in deploy/.env.example +
root .env.example). The demo overlay carries the full demo posture
(every env var + every placeholder credential) so the
`-f docker-compose.demo.yml` one-flag flip remains a zero-config
populated-dashboard path.
Fail-closed startup guards (internal/config/config.go::Validate):
Three new gates layered on the existing HIGH-12 demo-mode listen-bind
guard. All three exempt CERTCTL_DEMO_MODE_ACK=true so the demo overlay
keeps working:
• HIGH-6: AUTH_SECRET = "change-me-in-production" → refuse
• HIGH-6: CONFIG_ENCRYPTION_KEY = "change-me-32-char..." → refuse
• LOW-5: CORS_ORIGINS contains "*" (CWE-942 + CWE-352) → refuse
Visible DEMO MODE banner (cmd/server/main.go): every boot under
DEMO_MODE_ACK=true now emits a prominent WARN line with a 6-step
production-promotion checklist. The 2026-04-19 incident (a screenshot
run that kept running for three days) drove this; the per-startup
banner makes the posture unmissable in any log scraper.
Agent enrollment doc alignment:
• docs/reference/configuration.md L83: corrected the non-existent
URL `POST /api/v1/agents/register` to the real route
`POST /api/v1/agents`; added the bootstrap-token note and the
install-agent.sh handoff sequence.
• docs/reference/architecture.md L154: replaced "agents register
themselves at first heartbeat" (false — cmd/agent/main.go fail-
fasts when CERTCTL_AGENT_ID is unset) with the actual two-step
operator-driven flow (REST or GUI registration first, returned ID
fed to install-agent.sh second).
Tests + CI guard:
• 9 new TestValidate_Bundle2_* cases in internal/config/config_test.go
covering: placeholder-secret refused + demo-ack exempt; placeholder
encryption-key refused + demo-ack exempt; real key not mistaken for
placeholder; wildcard CORS refused + demo-ack exempt; wildcard mixed
into a concrete allowlist still refused; concrete allowlist accepted.
• scripts/ci-guards/B2-compose-base-no-demo-env.sh: greps the base
compose for any of the demo-mode env vars + placeholder credentials.
Comments stripped before checking so the narrative header in the
base file can still reference the overlay's posture in prose.
Cold-DB CI smoke (.github/workflows/ci.yml::cold-db-compose-smoke):
Switched to layering -f docker-compose.demo.yml on top of the base —
the new production base requires real env vars the smoke doesn't have,
and the smoke's purpose (catch migration-on-cold-DB regressions + the
bootstrap-token mint path) is orthogonal to which auth posture the
boot lands in.
Receipts:
• Current first-run truth table
compose flag → posture
-f docker-compose.yml (production)
→ requires .env;
fail-fasts on
missing AUTH_SECRET
/ CONFIG_ENCRYPTION
_KEY / POSTGRES
_PASSWORD; agent

-f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.demo.yml (demo)

+ debug logging

backends
• Verification (PATH=/tmp/go/bin export GO* paths to /tmp):
gofmt -l # clean (no diffs)

go test -short -count=1 ./internal/config/... # PASS (cumulative +
all 9 new Bundle 2
cases green)
go test -short -count=1 # PASS (no regression

bash scripts/ci-guards/H-1-encryption-key-min-length.sh # clean
bash scripts/ci-guards/G-3-env-docs-drift.sh # clean
Remaining operator warnings (not blocking; tracked in CLAUDE.md
"Open decisions"):
• The first `docker compose -f docker-compose.yml up -d` against a
pre-Bundle-2 .env (placeholder values still in place) will now
fail-fast. This is the intended posture but operators upgrading
from v2.0.x via .env-from-old-master need to rotate before
upgrading. The CHANGELOG note for the v2.1.0 release should
call this out alongside Auth Bundle 2's other breaking changes.

docs: factuality sweep — fix 3 broken links + 12 count claims (audit findings 2026-05-05)
Per the cowork/docs-audit-2026-05-05/ end-to-end factuality audit (20 confirmed findings across 76 docs, 7 parallel subagents + audit-of-the-audit). Hot + Warm tier fixes ship here; STALE findings (qa-test-suite.md test-count snapshot) need 'make qa-stats' which is operator-side. BROKEN links repaired (3): - docs/reference/api.md L195: [Quick Start](quickstart.md) → ../getting-started/quickstart.md (404 pre-fix) - docs/reference/api.md L196: [Connector Guide](connectors.md) → connectors/index.md (Phase 4 rename, was 404 pre-fix) - docs/reference/protocols/scep-intune.md L377: [legacy-est-scep.md](legacy-est-scep.md) → scep-server.md (file was deleted in Phase 7 commit |

docs: retire compliance subtree + sweep framework name-drops from prose
Per operator decision the framework-mapping docs are gone. They
were aspirational (no audit, no certification, no validated
mapping); keeping them around was misleading.
Files deleted (1,883 lines):
- docs/compliance/index.md
- docs/compliance/soc2.md
- docs/compliance/pci-dss.md
- docs/compliance/nist-sp-800-57.md
Hyperlinks removed:
- README.md: 'Auditor / compliance' row in the doc table; the
'(compliance mapping included)' parenthetical in the
positioning paragraph
- docs/README.md: the '## Compliance' section table; the
'Auditor / compliance team' reading-order-by-role row
Prose name-drops swept across 24 files:
- README.md: 'FedRAMP boundary CAs / financial-services policy
CAs' → '4-level boundary CAs / 3-level policy CAs';
'Compliance-grade for PCI-DSS Level 1, FedRAMP Moderate / High,
SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA' → cut entirely
- getting-started/{quickstart,concepts,examples,why-certctl,
advanced-demo}.md: 'compliance' → 'audit' / 'policy';
'PCI-DSS / SOC 2 / NIST SP 800-57' framework lists cut;
''pci': 'true'' tag example → ''environment': 'production''
- migration/cert-manager-coexistence.md: 'compliance rules' →
'policy rules'
- operator/approval-workflow.md: 'Compliance customers (PCI-DSS
Level 1, FedRAMP Moderate / High, SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA)' →
'Operators'; entire 'Compliance control mapping' table
(PCI-DSS §6.4.5 / NIST SP 800-53 SA-15 / SOC 2 Type II CC6.1
/ HIPAA §164.308(a)(4)) deleted; 'compliance contract' →
'two-person-integrity contract'; 'compliance auditors' →
'reviewers'
- operator/legacy-clients-tls-1.2.md: 'PCI-DSS v4.0 Req 4 §2.2.5'
audit-reference → CWE-326 (kept); 'PCI-DSS Req 4 §2.2.5
attestation' section retitled to 'TLS posture summary' and
rewritten without framework framing; 'PCI-DSS, NIST, and
major browsers will eventually deprecate TLS 1.2' →
'Major browsers and OS vendors will eventually deprecate
TLS 1.2'
- operator/database-tls.md: PCI-DSS Req 4 §2.2.5 audit-ref →
CWE-319 only; 'PCI-DSS scope' → 'sensitive data'; PCI-DSS
Req 4 v4.0 prose footing → cut
- operator/runbooks/disaster-recovery.md: 'SOC 2 / PCI
procurement-team deliverable' → 'on-call deliverable';
'compliance auditors' → 'reviewers'
- reference/connectors/{acme,aws-acm,azure-kv,globalsign,
local-ca,openssl,ssh,index}.md: 'compliance reporting
(PCI-DSS §3.6, HIPAA §164.312)' → 'audit reporting';
'Compliance environments (PCI-DSS Level 1, FedRAMP High,
HIPAA)' → 'Regulated environments'; 'compliance audits' →
'audit'; 'FedRAMP boundary CA' pattern names →
'4-level boundary CA' (technically descriptive)
- reference/protocols/est.md: 'compliance-hook seam' →
'device-state hook seam'; 'compliance gating' → 'device-state
gating'; 'est_compliance_failed' → 'est_device_state_failed'
- reference/protocols/scep-intune.md: 'Optional compliance
check' → 'Optional device-state check'; failure-counter
'compliance_failed' → 'device_state_failed'; 'Conditional
Access compliance gating' → 'Conditional Access
device-state gating'
- reference/intermediate-ca-hierarchy.md: 'FedRAMP boundary-CA
deployments where the regulator requires...' →
'Boundary-CA deployments where you want separation of policy
and issuing authorities'; pattern A retitled '4-level FedRAMP
boundary CA' → '4-level boundary CA'
- reference/architecture.md: broken Related-docs link to
compliance.md removed; the rest of that block had stale
pre-Phase-2 paths (quickstart.md, demo-advanced.md,
connectors.md, openapi.md, testing-guide.md, test-env.md) —
retargeted to current locations
- reference/deployment-model.md: 'SOC 2 evidence-report
generator' → 'Audit-evidence report generator'
- reference/vendor-matrix.md: 'SOC 2 / PCI auditors paste this
into evidence packs' → 'reviewers paste this into
vendor-evaluation packs'
- contributor/qa-test-suite.md: 'compliance exist' coverage
description cut; 'Compliance (PCI / SOC2 / HIPAA-relevant)'
risk-class label → 'Audit-relevant'
What was kept:
- CWE references (legitimate technical pointers)
- Microsoft API/feature names that happen to use 'compliance'
literally ('Microsoft Graph compliance API',
'device-compliance validators' — these are MS product names,
not framework name-drops)
- 'NIST PQC' on the landing page (Post-Quantum Cryptography is
the actual NIST standard family, not a compliance framework)
Verified: zero hyperlinks into docs/compliance/ remain. All 24
ci-guards/*.sh pass locally. qa-doc-seed-count.sh clean.
Net diff: 26 files / -1,883 deletions in compliance/ + -32 net
across the prose sweep.
Companion edits in cowork/ (CLAUDE.md doc-tree summary +
WORKSPACE-CHANGELOG.md retirement note) land separately.

docs: Phase 14 — Last reviewed line sweep across docs/
Per Phase 1 audit at cowork/docs-overhaul-phase-1-audit-2026-05-04/. Adds a `> Last reviewed: 2026-05-05` line right after the H1 heading of every doc that didn't already have one (41 files). This dates the freshness clock for the future Phase 4 per-doc review. The discipline going forward: when a doc's content gets a meaningful edit, bump the date. When the date gets old (e.g., >6 months), the doc earns a freshness-review pass. Mechanical insertion via awk one-liner, applied to every docs/*.md that didn't already match `grep -q 'Last reviewed:'`. Files that already carried the line from earlier Phase 2 work (the navigation index, the new connector docs, the new SCEP server / legacy-clients- TLS-1.2 / release-verification docs, and the 5 per-connector deep dives) were skipped to avoid duplicate insertion. Net: every doc in docs/ now has a Last reviewed line. |

docs: Phase 2 mechanical file moves to subdirectory structure
Pure git mv operations; no content edits. Internal links remain pointing
at old paths and will be fixed in Phase 11. Per the Phase 1 audit
recommendations at cowork/docs-overhaul-phase-1-audit-2026-05-04/.
35 files moved across 8 audience-organized subdirectories:
docs/getting-started/ (5):
quickstart.md, concepts.md, examples.md, advanced-demo.md (was
demo-advanced.md), why-certctl.md
docs/reference/ (6):
architecture.md, api.md (was openapi.md), mcp.md,
intermediate-ca-hierarchy.md, deployment-model.md (was
deployment-atomicity.md), vendor-matrix.md (was
deployment-vendor-matrix.md)
docs/reference/protocols/ (6):
acme-server.md, acme-server-threat-model.md, scep-intune.md,
est.md, crl-ocsp.md, async-ca-polling.md (was async-polling.md)
docs/operator/ (4):
security.md, tls.md, database-tls.md, approval-workflow.md
docs/operator/runbooks/ (3):
cloud-targets.md (was runbook-cloud-targets.md), expiry-alerts.md
(was runbook-expiry-alerts.md), disaster-recovery.md
docs/migration/ (3):
from-certbot.md (was migrate-from-certbot.md), from-acmesh.md
(was migrate-from-acmesh.md), cert-manager-coexistence.md (was
certctl-for-cert-manager-users.md)
docs/compliance/ (4):
index.md (was compliance.md), soc2.md (was compliance-soc2.md),
pci-dss.md (was compliance-pci-dss.md), nist-sp-800-57.md (was
compliance-nist.md)
docs/contributor/ (4):
testing-strategy.md, test-environment.md (was test-env.md),
ci-pipeline.md, qa-test-suite.md (was qa-test-guide.md)
Deferred to later Phase 2 sub-phases:
- connectors.md split (Phase 4): docs/connectors.md +
docs/connector-{apache,f5,iis,k8s,nginx}.md still at top level
- testing-guide.md prune (Phase 5): docs/testing-guide.md still
at top level
- features.md disperse (Phase 6): docs/features.md still at top
level
- legacy-est-scep.md split (Phase 7): docs/legacy-est-scep.md
still at top level
- ACME walkthrough re-homing (Phase 8): three
docs/acme-*-walkthrough.md still at top level
- Upgrade docs archive (Phase 3): two docs/upgrade-*.md still
at top level
Cross-reference updates (Phase 11) will happen after all moves and
content edits land. Internal links to docs/* paths are temporarily
broken until that phase completes.
