Closes 3 findings (1 High + 1 Medium + 1 Low) from
/Users/shankar/Desktop/cowork/comprehensive-audit-2026-04-25/.
Bundle 4 hardens the only attack surface reachable by an anonymous network
attacker in certctl: the unauthenticated EST + SCEP enrollment endpoints.
Findings closed:
- H-004 (High): Hand-rolled ASN.1 parser had no fuzz target.
The audit's original framing pointed at internal/pkcs7/, but recon
confirmed that package is an ASN.1 ENCODER (BuildCertsOnlyPKCS7,
ASN1Wrap*, ASN1EncodeLength) — not a parser. The actual hand-rolled
PKCS#7 PARSING reachable via anonymous network is in
internal/api/handler/scep.go::extractCSRFromPKCS7 +
parseSignedDataForCSR. Added native go fuzz targets:
* internal/api/handler/scep_fuzz_test.go::FuzzExtractCSRFromPKCS7
* internal/api/handler/scep_fuzz_test.go::FuzzParseSignedDataForCSR
* internal/pkcs7/pkcs7_fuzz_test.go::FuzzPEMToDERChain (defense-in-depth)
* internal/pkcs7/pkcs7_fuzz_test.go::FuzzASN1EncodeLength (defense-in-depth)
Local 15s fuzz session: 150k execs on FuzzExtractCSRFromPKCS7,
937k on FuzzPEMToDERChain, 925k on FuzzASN1EncodeLength — zero panics.
- M-021 (Medium): EST TLS-Unique channel binding (RFC 7030 §3.2.3).
Added internal/api/handler/est.go::verifyESTTransport — defense-in-depth
TLS pre-conditions (r.TLS != nil; HandshakeComplete; TLS ≥ 1.2).
The full §3.2.3 channel binding only applies when EST mTLS is in use;
certctl does not currently support EST mTLS, so the §3.2.3 requirement
is moot today. RFC 9266 (TLS 1.3 tls-exporter) and EST mTLS are
documented as deferred follow-ups in the verifyESTTransport doc comment.
- L-005 (Low): EST/SCEP issuer-binding fail-loud at startup.
Pre-Bundle-4 cmd/server/main.go validated that CERTCTL_EST_ISSUER_ID and
CERTCTL_SCEP_ISSUER_ID existed in the registry but did NOT validate the
issuer TYPE could emit a CA cert. An operator binding EST to an ACME
issuer (whose GetCACertPEM returns explicit error) booted successfully
and only failed at first /est/cacerts request. Post-Bundle-4: new
preflightEnrollmentIssuer helper calls GetCACertPEM(ctx) at startup
with a 10s timeout. Failure logs the connector error + the candidate
issuer types and os.Exit(1).
Tests added/modified:
- internal/api/handler/est_transport_test.go (new) — 5 verifyESTTransport
table cases covering plaintext-rejected, incomplete-handshake-rejected,
TLS 1.0 rejected, TLS 1.2/1.3 accepted
- cmd/server/preflight_test.go (new) — TestPreflightEnrollmentIssuer
covering nil-connector, error-from-issuer, empty-PEM, valid cases
- internal/api/handler/est_handler_test.go (modified) — 7 POST sites
now stamp r.TLS to satisfy the new transport pre-condition
- internal/integration/negative_test.go (modified) — setupTestServer
wraps the test handler with a fake-TLS-state injector so the EST
handler receives r.TLS != nil; production paths still rely on the
real TLS listener
