Closes Phase 12 of cowork/auth-bundle-2-prompt.md. The single
canonical operator-facing threat model (one doc per topic per the
docs convention) now covers both Bundle 1 (RBAC) AND Bundle 2 (OIDC
+ sessions + back-channel logout + OIDC first-admin + break-glass)
in one place.
File: docs/operator/auth-threat-model.md (MODIFIED, +485 LOC)
Conventions held
================
* The Bundle 1 sections ("Threat actors", "Defenses Bundle 1
ships", "Threats Bundle 1 does NOT close", "Compliance mapping",
"Operator-facing checks", "Cross-references") stay structurally
intact. Bundle 2 EXTENDS them; nothing is rewritten in place.
* `Last reviewed:` header bumped 2026-05-09 → 2026-05-10.
* Per the prompt's explicit instruction: "do NOT create a separate
auth-threat-model-bundle-2.md companion." This commit is a
single-file extension.
Changes
=======
Intro paragraph rewritten:
* From "Bundle 1 lands... Bundle 2 will be updated" to "Bundle 1
AND Bundle 2 land." Sets the reader's expectation that this is
the post-Bundle-2 doc.
Threat actors section (4 new actors appended):
* OIDC-federated end user (token-forgery / session-hijacking /
group-claim-manipulation surface).
* Stolen session cookie holder (XSS / network MITM / pasted-token).
* Compromised IdP (rogue token issuance; mitigations bounded to
audit trail + group-mapping configuration).
* Break-glass-password holder (Phase 7.5 path bypasses OIDC + group
layer entirely; default-OFF is the load-bearing mitigation).
NEW: Defenses Bundle 2 ships (5 sub-sections):
* OIDC token validation (Phase 3) — alg allow-list, IdP-downgrade
defense, exact iss match, aud + azp checks, at_hash
REQUIRED-when-access_token-present (Phase 3 tightening of OIDC
core's MAY → MUST), single-use state + nonce, PKCE-S256 mandatory,
iat window, JWKS rotation handling, JWKS-fetch-fail closed,
encrypted client_secret at rest.
* Session minting + cookies (Phases 4 + 6) — length-prefixed HMAC
defeating concatenation collision, HttpOnly + Secure + SameSite
cookie hardening, idle + absolute timeouts, CSRF defense via
double-submit-cookie + hashed-token-on-row, optional IP/UA bind,
signing-key rotation primitive with retention window, fail-fatal
EnsureInitialSigningKey at boot, pre-login vs post-login cookie
discrimination.
* Back-channel logout (Phase 5) — OpenID Connect Back-Channel
Logout 1.0 (NOT RFC 8414), required-claim pinning, jti-based
replay defense, alg allow-list applies, Cache-Control: no-store.
* OIDC first-admin bootstrap (Phase 7) — coexists with Bundle 1's
env-var-token bootstrap, group-scoped, one-shot per tenant via
admin-existence probe, explicit OIDC provider gate, audit row on
every grant.
* Break-glass admin (Phase 7.5) — default-OFF, surface-invisibility
via 404-not-403, Argon2id with OWASP 2024 params, lockout state
machine, constant-time across all failure paths via verifyDummy,
WARN log at boot when ENABLED=true, 5/min rate limit on the
public login endpoint.
NEW: Bundle 2 threat catalogue (8 sub-sections, one per
prompt-enumerated threat axis):
1. OIDC token forgery vectors and mitigations (9-row table covering
alg confusion, audience injection, issuer mismatch, nonce replay,
state replay, at_hash substitution, iat window manipulation,
JWKS rotation mid-login, JWKS-fetch failure during a key
rotation).
2. Session hijacking vectors and mitigations (7-row table covering
XSS cookie theft, network MITM, CSRF, concatenation-collision
forgery, stolen-cookie replay, cross-tab interference, sign-out
race).
3. IdP compromise scenarios (operator monitors IdP audit logs,
operator can rotate group-role mappings without redeploying,
audit trail records source provider, provider-delete returns
409 with active sessions).
4. Back-channel logout failure modes (6-row table covering IdP
unreachable, invalid signature, replay via jti, alg confusion,
missing events claim, present-nonce-claim).
5. Group-claim manipulation (4-row table covering operator
misconfigured mapping, misconfigured groups_claim_path, IdP
renames a group, IdP user maintainer adds user to unintended
group).
6. Bootstrap phase risks post-Bundle-2 (4-row table covering
CERTCTL_BOOTSTRAP_TOKEN leak, CERTCTL_BOOTSTRAP_ADMIN_GROUPS
misconfigured to a wide group, both bootstrap strategies
simultaneously, multi-IdP without explicit provider gate).
7. Break-glass risks (7-row table covering phished password,
online brute-force, offline brute-force on DB compromise,
operator forgets to disable, side-channel timing on
wrong-vs-no-credential-vs-locked, surface fingerprinting,
reserved-actor mutation).
8. Token-leak hygiene (the explicit grep policy with three
per-package logging_test.go pointers + the audit_redact.go
defense-in-depth note).
Threats Bundle 1 does NOT close section relabeled:
* Section header now reads "Threats Bundle 1 does NOT close
(Bundle 2 closure status)" with each item carrying ✅ / ⚠️ /
"still deferred" markers.
* Items 1, 2, 3, 8 marked ✅ closed by Bundle 2.
* Items 4, 5, 7, 9 marked still-deferred with v3 / follow-on
pointers.
* Item 6 (rate limiting on bootstrap) marked acceptable; Bundle 2
adds the same rate-limit primitive to /auth/breakglass/login.
NEW: Threats Bundle 2 does NOT close section listing the 8 v3 /
future-work items:
* WebAuthn / FIDO2 second factor (Decision 12).
* Time-bound role grants / JIT elevation.
* SAML federation (operators broker through Keycloak).
* Multi-tenant data isolation activation (gated to managed-service
hosting work).
* HSM / FIPS-validated signing key for sessions.
* OIDC RP-initiated logout (Bundle 2 implements only back-channel).
* GUI E2E via Playwright.
* Per-IdP runbook external-tester sign-off (encouraged, NOT a merge
gate post-2026-05-10 policy change).
Operator-facing checks section extended:
* 6 new SQL-shaped checks for Bundle 2 (provider count drift,
per-actor session count, unmapped-groups audit-row spike,
break-glass usage outside incidents, OIDC first-admin one-row-per-
tenant invariant, retired-signing-key GC liveness).
Cross-references section split into Bundle 1 anchors + Bundle 2
anchors:
* Bundle 2 anchors enumerate every load-bearing file: 6
internal/auth/ packages, 5 migrations, 3 ci-guards.
Compliance mapping section UNCHANGED:
* Phase 15 (standards-and-RFC-implementation table) is the proper
home for the RFC + CWE evidence the Bundle 2 surface adds.
Re-introducing framework-mapping prose at the threat-model layer
would regress the operator's 2026-05-05 retired-compliance-docs
decision, which is explicitly forbidden by the Phase 15 prompt.
Verification
============
* `> Last reviewed: 2026-05-10` — confirmed via head -3.
* All 8 prompt-mandated Bundle 2 threat sub-sections present —
confirmed via grep `^### ` count (19 ### headers total: 6 Bundle
1 + 5 Bundle 2 defenses + 8 Bundle 2 threats).
* All 39 prompt-listed threat-vector keywords present — confirmed
via single-line grep counting 39 hits across the prompt's
vocabulary.
* Internal markdown links resolve cleanly — confirmed via shell
loop iterating each `]( ...)` reference and checking `[ -e "$path" ]`.
* No backend / Go-test impact — pure docs commit.
* `make verify` gate unchanged.
