# WHOOSH Security Audit Report
|
||||
|
||||
**Date:** 2025-09-12
|
||||
**Auditor:** Claude Code Security Expert
|
||||
**Version:** Post-Security Hardening
|
||||
|
||||
## Executive Summary
|
||||
|
||||
A comprehensive security audit was conducted on the WHOOSH search and indexing system. Multiple critical and high-risk vulnerabilities were identified and remediated, including CORS misconfiguration, missing authentication controls, inadequate input validation, and insufficient webhook security. The system now implements production-grade security controls following industry best practices.
|
||||
|
||||
## Security Improvements Implemented
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. CORS Configuration Hardening (CRITICAL - FIXED)
|
||||
|
||||
**Issue:** Wildcard CORS origins (`AllowedOrigins: ["*"]`) allowed any domain to make authenticated requests.
|
||||
|
||||
**Remediation:**
|
||||
- Implemented configurable CORS origins via environment variables
|
||||
- Added support for secret file-based configuration
|
||||
- Restricted allowed headers to only necessary ones
|
||||
- Updated configuration in `/internal/config/config.go` and `/internal/server/server.go`
|
||||
|
||||
**Files Modified:**
|
||||
- `/internal/config/config.go`: Added `AllowedOrigins` and `AllowedOriginsFile` fields
|
||||
- `/internal/server/server.go`: Updated CORS configuration to use config values
|
||||
- `.env.example`: Added CORS configuration examples
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Authentication Middleware Implementation (HIGH - FIXED)
|
||||
|
||||
**Issue:** Admin endpoints (team creation, project creation, repository management, council operations) lacked authentication controls.
|
||||
|
||||
**Remediation:**
|
||||
- Created comprehensive authentication middleware supporting JWT and service tokens
|
||||
- Implemented role-based access control (admin vs regular users)
|
||||
- Added service token validation for internal services
|
||||
- Protected sensitive endpoints with appropriate middleware
|
||||
|
||||
**Files Created:**
|
||||
- `/internal/auth/middleware.go`: Complete authentication middleware implementation
|
||||
|
||||
**Files Modified:**
|
||||
- `/internal/server/server.go`: Added auth middleware to admin endpoints
|
||||
|
||||
**Protected Endpoints:**
|
||||
- `POST /api/v1/teams` - Team creation (Admin required)
|
||||
- `PUT /api/v1/teams/{teamID}/status` - Team status updates (Admin required)
|
||||
- `POST /api/v1/tasks/ingest` - Task ingestion (Service token required)
|
||||
- `POST /api/v1/projects` - Project creation (Admin required)

## Security Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
### Environment Variables
|
||||
|
||||
Updated `.env.example` with security-focused configuration:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# CORS Origins (restrict to specific domains)
|
||||
WHOOSH_SERVER_ALLOWED_ORIGINS=https://your-frontend-domain.com,http://localhost:3000
|
||||
|
||||
# Strong authentication secrets (use files in production)
|
||||
WHOOSH_AUTH_JWT_SECRET=your_jwt_secret_here_minimum_32_characters
|
||||
WHOOSH_AUTH_SERVICE_TOKENS=token1,token2,token3
|
||||
|
||||
# File-based secrets for production
|
||||
WHOOSH_AUTH_JWT_SECRET_FILE=/secrets/jwt_secret
|
||||
WHOOSH_AUTH_SERVICE_TOKENS_FILE=/secrets/service_tokens
|
||||
WHOOSH_SERVER_ALLOWED_ORIGINS_FILE=/secrets/allowed_origins
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Production Recommendations
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Secret Management:**
|
||||
- Use file-based configuration for all secrets
|
||||
- Implement secret rotation policies
|
||||
- Store secrets in secure volumes (Docker secrets, Kubernetes secrets)
|
||||
|
||||
2. **TLS Configuration:**
|
||||
- Enable HTTPS in production
|
||||
- Use strong TLS configuration (TLS 1.2+)
|
||||
- Implement HSTS headers
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Database Security:**
|
||||
- Enable SSL/TLS for database connections
|
||||
- Use dedicated database users with minimal privileges
|
||||
- Implement database connection pooling limits
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Monitoring:**
|
||||
- Monitor authentication failures
|
||||
- Alert on rate limit violations
|
||||
- Log all administrative actions
|
||||
|
||||
## Risk Assessment
|
||||
|
||||
### Before Security Hardening
|
||||
- **Critical Risk:** CORS wildcard allowing unauthorized cross-origin requests
|
||||
- **High Risk:** Unprotected admin endpoints allowing unauthorized operations
|
||||
- **Medium Risk:** Basic input validation susceptible to injection attacks
|
||||
- **Medium Risk:** Minimal webhook security validation
|
||||
|
||||
### After Security Hardening
|
||||
- **Low Risk:** Well-configured CORS with specific domains
|
||||
- **Low Risk:** Comprehensive authentication and authorization controls
|
||||
- **Low Risk:** Production-grade input validation and sanitization
|
||||
- **Low Risk:** Enhanced webhook security with comprehensive validation
|
||||
|
||||
## Compliance Considerations
|
||||
|
||||
The implemented security controls support compliance with:
|
||||
|
||||
- **SOC 2 Type II:** Access controls, system monitoring, data protection

|
||||
- **NIST Cybersecurity Framework:** Identify, Protect, Detect functions
|
||||
- **OWASP Top 10:** Protection against most common web vulnerabilities
|
||||
|
||||
## Testing Recommendations
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Penetration Testing:**
