# Security Audit Report

**Date**: 2026-05-11 (cycle 1 baseline) · 2026-05-11 cycle 2 refresh appended below
**Scope**: Satellite Provider — full repository (Api, Common, DataAccess, Services.*, Tests, infra)
**Trigger**: `/autodev` Step 14 (Security Audit) — feature cycle 1, post-AZ-484; **cycle 2 delta scan added 2026-05-11 covering AZ-487 JWT validation baseline + AZ-488 UAV tile upload endpoint**
**Verdict (current, post-cycle-2)**: **PASS_WITH_WARNINGS**

## Summary

| Severity | Cycle 1 | Cycle 2 delta | Current total |
|----------|---------|---------------|---------------|
| Critical | 0       | 0             | 0             |
| High     | 0       | 0             | 0             |
| Medium   | 5       | 2 (F-AUTH-2, F-DEPS-UAV) | 7  |
| Low      | 5       | 4 (F-AUTH-1, F-AUTH-3, F-UAV-2, D3) | 9 |
| Info     | —       | 1 (F-UAV-3) | 1 |

No Critical or High findings in either cycle. The verdict remains `PASS_WITH_WARNINGS`. Cycle 2's two new Medium findings (`iss`/`aud` not validated yet; ImageSharp decode exposure widened) are both bounded by mitigations already in place and tracked as follow-ups rather than gating items. **AZ-484 (cycle 1's only feature change) introduced zero new findings** — it remained a pure data-layer change.

## OWASP Top 10:2025 Assessment

| Category | Status | Findings |
|----------|--------|----------|
| A01 Broken Access Control | N/A (with caveat) | — |
| A02 Security Misconfiguration | FAIL | S1, S2/I6, I1, I2 |
| A03 Software Supply Chain Failures | PASS_WITH_WARNINGS | D1, D2 |
| A04 Cryptographic Failures | N/A | — |
| A05 Injection | PASS | — |
| A06 Insecure Design | FAIL | S3, S4, I3 |
| A07 Authentication Failures | N/A (with caveat) | — |
| A08 Software or Data Integrity Failures | PASS | — |
| A09 Security Logging and Alerting Failures | PASS_WITH_WARNINGS | I4 |
| A10 Mishandling of Exceptional Conditions | PASS | — |

The two **N/A (with caveat)** entries (A01, A07) reflect the documented architectural choice (`architecture.md` §7) that this is an internal/trusted-network service. **The audit does not endorse that choice — it merely notes that the choice has been made deliberately.** If the deployment trust boundary ever changes, A01 and A07 immediately become FAIL and every endpoint becomes an unauthenticated surface; that decision must be re-examined before any internet-facing exposure.

## Findings

| #  | Severity | Category               | Location                                                | Title                                                                                |
|----|----------|------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| S1 | Medium   | A02 — Misconfiguration | `SatelliteProvider.Api/appsettings.json:24`             | Default Postgres password (`postgres/postgres`) committed in `appsettings.json`     |
| S2 | Medium   | A02 — Misconfiguration | `docker-compose.yml:6-7,30`                             | Weak Postgres credentials in compose (mirrors S1)                                    |
| S3 | Low      | A06 — Insecure Design  | `SatelliteProvider.Api/Program.cs:169,207,237`          | Latitude/longitude inputs not range-validated at API boundary                        |
| S4 | Medium   | A06 — Insecure Design  | `.env` (workspace root)                                 | Apparent real Google Maps API key on developer filesystem; no `.env.example`         |
| D1 | Medium   | A03 — Supply Chain     | `SatelliteProvider.Api.csproj` — `Microsoft.AspNetCore.OpenApi 8.0.21` | CVE-2026-26130 SignalR DoS (not reachable in this app — codebase has zero SignalR use) — **RESOLVED cycle 3 (AZ-496): bumped to 8.0.25** |
| D2 | Low      | A03 — Supply Chain     | `SatelliteProvider.Tests.csproj` — `Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk 17.8.0` | CVE-2022-30184 transitive via `NuGet.Frameworks <6.2.1` (test-only)                  |
| I1 | Low      | A02 — Misconfiguration | `SatelliteProvider.Api/Dockerfile`                      | Container runs as root (no `USER` directive)                                          |
| I2 | Low      | A02 — Misconfiguration | `SatelliteProvider.Api/Program.cs`                      | No security headers middleware                                                        |
| I3 | Medium   | A06 — Insecure Design  | `SatelliteProvider.Api/Program.cs`                      | No inbound rate limiting on any HTTP endpoint                                         |
| I4 | Low      | A09 — Logging          | `SatelliteProvider.Api/*` (logging strategy)            | No security-event logs / alerting                                                     |
| I5 | Medium   | A02 — Misconfiguration | `.dockerignore` + `Dockerfile:15` (`COPY . .`)          | `.env` not in `.dockerignore` — risk of API key being baked into image layers         |

I6 in the infra report is a duplicate of S2 (same root cause) and is not double-counted in the summary.

### Finding Details

Full evidence and remediation for every finding lives in the per-phase reports. The detail tables there are the source of truth — this top-level report intentionally avoids restating multi-paragraph remediation steps.

- **Phase 1**: `_docs/05_security/dependency_scan.md` — D1, D2, full dependency inventory + cross-version sanity check
- **Phase 2**: `_docs/05_security/static_analysis.md` — S1, S2, S3, S4, plus the categories that were checked clean (SQL injection, command injection, deserialization, path traversal, log leakage, exception leakage)
- **Phase 3**: `_docs/05_security/owasp_review.md` — OWASP Top 10:2025 per-category assessment + cross-reference table
- **Phase 4**: `_docs/05_security/infrastructure_review.md` — I1, I2, I3, I4, I5, I6, plus the items checked clean (CI secrets handling, image attribution labels)

## Dependency Vulnerabilities

| Package | CVE | Severity | Reachable? | Fix Version |
|---------|-----|----------|------------|-------------|
| Microsoft.AspNetCore.OpenApi (→ ASP.NET Core 8 runtime) | CVE-2026-26130 | High (paper) / Low (this app) | **No** — codebase has zero SignalR use | 8.0.25 |
| Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk → NuGet.Frameworks | CVE-2022-30184 | Medium (paper) / Low (this app) | Test project only — never shipped | Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk 17.9.0+ |

All other dependencies (`Newtonsoft.Json 13.0.4`, `SixLabors.ImageSharp 3.1.11`, `Npgsql 9.0.2`, `Dapper 2.1.35`, `Swashbuckle.AspNetCore 6.6.2`, `Serilog.AspNetCore 8.0.3`, `dbup-postgresql 6.0.3`, `Microsoft.Extensions.* 9.0.10`) are at or beyond the patched line for every CVE I could find.

## AZ-484 Cycle-Specific Verdict

The reason this audit was triggered (the AZ-484 multi-source tile storage cycle) is independently **clean**:

- Migration 013 is transactional and idempotent — no data loss / data integrity finding.
- `TileSourceConverter` enforces a closed value space at the language layer; `TileEntity.Source` is `string` only as a Dapper-bug workaround documented in `_docs/LESSONS.md` L-001.
- `TileRepository` queries continue to use parameterised Dapper — no new SQL injection surface.
- No new external dependencies, no new endpoints, no new untrusted-input flows.
- All findings in this report predate AZ-484 and are unchanged by it.

## Recommendations

### Immediate (Critical/High)

None — there are no Critical or High findings. The audit does not block the next deploy on its own merit.

### Short-term (Medium — pick before next public-network exposure or any post-deploy hardening pass)

1. **S1 + S2 + I5** — De-default DB credentials and stop shipping the .env into the build context. One coordinated change:
   - Remove `ConnectionStrings:DefaultConnection` from `appsettings.json` (rely on env-var via the existing throw on null).
   - Add `POSTGRES_USER` / `POSTGRES_PASSWORD` to a tracked `.env.example` and source them from a dev `.env`; bind `5432` to `127.0.0.1`.
   - Append `.env` and `.env.*` (with `!.env.example` exception) to `.dockerignore`.
2. **S4** — Rotate the Google Maps API key out-of-band, add `.env.example`, add Google Cloud key restrictions (HTTP referrer or IP allowlist + per-API quotas). The audit deliberately did not echo the key value into any artifact.
3. **D1** — Bump `Microsoft.AspNetCore.OpenApi` from `8.0.21` to the current 8.0.x patch (≥ 8.0.25) and rebuild the deployed image so the vulnerable SignalR code paths are physically absent.
4. **I3** — Wire `Microsoft.AspNetCore.RateLimiting` (built into .NET 8 — no new package). Conservative starting threshold in the per-phase report.

### Long-term (Low — hardening backlog)

1. **I1** — Add a non-root `USER` to the API Dockerfile.
2. **I2** — Add a tiny security-headers middleware (or pull `NWebsec.AspNetCore.Middleware`).
3. **S3** — Add explicit lat/lon range guards at the API boundary (matches the existing `SizeMeters` 100-10000 pattern).
4. **D2** — Bump `Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk` to ≥ 17.9.0 next time the test project's deps are touched.
5. **I4** — Defer until the trust boundary changes; if/when the API moves toward a less-trusted network, add structured 4xx logging per IP + a basic alerting rule.

## Verdict Logic

- No Critical or High findings → **not FAIL**
- 5 Medium + 5 Low findings exist → **not PASS**
- Therefore: **PASS_WITH_WARNINGS**

This satisfies the autodev gate to proceed to Step 15 (Performance Test). The recommendations above should be tracked as separate Jira tasks under a hardening epic before the first non-internal deployment.

## Self-verification

- [x] All findings from Phases 1–4 included
- [x] No duplicate findings (I6 explicitly noted as a duplicate of S2 and not double-counted)
- [x] Every finding has remediation guidance (in per-phase reports)
- [x] Verdict matches severity logic (no Critical/High → not FAIL; >0 findings → not PASS)
- [x] No real secret values printed in any audit artifact (S4 described without echoing the API key)

## Cycle 2 Delta Summary (AZ-487 + AZ-488)

### What changed in cycle 2

AZ-487 introduced a JWT validation baseline (HS256, `JWT_SECRET` env var, `.RequireAuthorization()` on every endpoint, Swagger Bearer hook). AZ-488 replaced the 501 `/api/satellite/upload` stub with a multipart batch endpoint that validates JPEGs via a 5-rule quality gate and persists accepted tiles. Two new packages were added: `Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.JwtBearer 8.0.21` (Api) and `SixLabors.ImageSharp 3.1.11` (TileDownloader + Tests; consistent with the existing Api-level reference).

### Findings table (cycle-2 delta)

| #          | Severity      | Category                                | Location                                                                | Title                                                                       |
|------------|---------------|------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| F-AUTH-1   | Low (accepted)| A02 — Misconfiguration                   | `SatelliteProvider.Api/appsettings.Development.json:14`                 | DEV-ONLY JWT secret committed; env-var overrides; operator must verify in prod |
| F-AUTH-2   | Medium        | A07 — AuthN / Identification             | `Authentication/AuthenticationServiceCollectionExtensions.cs:31-32`     | `iss`/`aud` not validated — **RESOLVED cycle 3 (AZ-494): `ValidateIssuer` + `ValidateAudience` flipped to `true`; values sourced from `JWT_ISSUER` / `JWT_AUDIENCE` env vars with fail-fast contract; production admin-team values still to be confirmed before deploy** |
| F-AUTH-3   | Low (rec. I3) | A06 — Insecure Design                    | every `/api/satellite/*` endpoint                                       | No rate limiting on 401-producing paths (extends cycle-1 I3)                |
| F-UAV-1    | Medium        | A03 — Supply Chain (exposure)            | `Services.TileDownloader/UavTileQualityGate.cs:60-95`                   | ImageSharp decode now runs on attacker-controlled JPEGs (mitigations OK)    |
| F-UAV-2    | Low           | A07 — AuthN claim parsing                 | `Authentication/PermissionsRequirement.cs:84-111`                       | `JsonDocument.Parse` on signature-validated claim values (bounded by header cap) |
| F-UAV-3    | Informational | A06 — Insecure Design (info-disclosure)  | `Services.TileDownloader/UavTileQualityGate.cs`                         | Reject reasons disclose gate structure (accepted UX trade-off; documented in contract) |
| D3         | Low           | A03 — Supply Chain                       | `SatelliteProvider.Api.csproj` (new JwtBearer 8.0.21)                   | Shares D1 patch line; same remediation — **RESOLVED cycle 3 (AZ-496): bumped to 8.0.25 alongside OpenApi** |
| F-DEPS-UAV | Medium        | A03 — Supply Chain (exposure)            | new ImageSharp call site in TileDownloader                              | Documented in dependency_scan.md cycle-2 delta                              |

### Verdict reconciliation

- No new Critical or High findings → cycle 2 does NOT escalate the verdict.
- Two new Medium findings — both are *follow-ups under existing remediations*, not blockers:
  - F-AUTH-2 — **RESOLVED cycle 3 (AZ-494)**: validation flipped on, config plumbed through env + appsettings; production iss/aud values gated behind admin-team confirmation at deploy time.
  - F-UAV-1 + F-DEPS-UAV jointly say "subscribe to ImageSharp GHSA and bump aggressively" — no immediate change needed.
- F-AUTH-1 and F-UAV-3 are explicitly accepted.
- F-AUTH-3 + D3 fold into existing cycle-1 remediations (I3 rate limiting, D1 8.0.x patch bump).

**Current verdict: PASS_WITH_WARNINGS** (cycle 2 satisfies the autodev Step-14 gate; proceed to Step 15).

### New / refreshed cycle-2 recommendations

- **Pre-deploy gate (operational, NOT code)**: `deploy/SKILL.md` must verify `JWT_SECRET` is set to a ≥ 32-byte value distinct from the DEV-ONLY placeholder. Cycle-2 deploys without this verification step are gated.
- **Coordinate with admin team**: confirm expected `iss`/`aud` values for the prod `JWT_ISSUER` / `JWT_AUDIENCE` env vars. **Code change DONE cycle 3 (AZ-494)** — `ValidateIssuer` / `ValidateAudience` are now `true`; `appsettings.Development.json` ships clearly-tagged DEV-ONLY values so local dev works out-of-the-box; production `appsettings.json` ships empty values so the app fails fast at startup until the operator supplies the real values via env. The remaining work is purely operational.
- **Bump 8.0.x ASP.NET Core packages together** — **DONE cycle 3 (AZ-496)**: both `Microsoft.AspNetCore.OpenApi` and `Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.JwtBearer` bumped to `8.0.25` in `SatelliteProvider.Api.csproj`. Runtime base image uses floating `mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/aspnet:8.0` so the deployed runtime auto-picks up the matching patch on next build.
- **ImageSharp subscribe-and-bump policy**: add to the runbook — patch within 7 days of any `SixLabors.ImageSharp` GHSA. Reconsider sandboxing if the upload endpoint is exposed beyond the trust boundary documented in architecture.md § 7.
- **Cycle-2 hardening backlog (Low priority)**:
  - Pass `JsonDocumentOptions { MaxDepth = 8 }` and a max-claim-length check to `PermissionsAuthorizationHandler.TryReadJsonArray`.
  - Document in `architecture.md` that reject-reason codes are NOT a security boundary.

## Cycle 3 Delta Summary (AZ-491 / AZ-492 / AZ-493 / AZ-494 / AZ-495 / AZ-496)

### What changed in cycle 3

Cycle 3 was test-infrastructure + dependency + iss/aud-validation hardening. The most security-relevant change is AZ-494, which flipped `iss` / `aud` validation from `false` (cycle-2 F-AUTH-2 finding) to `true`, sourcing both values from `JWT_ISSUER` / `JWT_AUDIENCE` env vars with the same fail-fast contract as `JWT_SECRET`. AZ-496 bumped the ASP.NET Core 8.0.21 family to 8.0.25 (closes D1 + D3). The other tasks (AZ-491 consolidate JWT test helpers, AZ-492 perf harness PT-07/PT-08, AZ-493 integration test DB reset hook, AZ-495 doc folder convention) added test-side surface but no new production attack surface.

### Findings table (cycle-3 delta)

|------------|-----------------------|------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| D4         | Low                   | A03 — Supply Chain (test-only)           | `SatelliteProvider.TestSupport.csproj` (`System.IdentityModel.Tokens.Jwt 7.0.3` + `Microsoft.IdentityModel.Tokens 7.0.3`) | CVE-2024-21319 (JWE DoS) in pinned 7.0.3 < 7.1.2 fix line; **test-only, never deployed**; bump to ≥ 7.1.2 in future PBI |
| F-AUTH-3   | Informational         | A07 — AuthN observability (test-only)    | `SatelliteProvider.IntegrationTests/Program.cs:67`                        | Test runner logs resolved `iss` / `aud` at startup — operator-visible only, no prod path leaks |
| F-AUTH-4   | Informational         | A02 — Misconfiguration (by design)       | `appsettings.Development.json` + `.env.example`                           | DEV-ONLY iss/aud placeholders deliberately committed (Option B forcing function for prod fail-fast) |
| F-DBR-1    | **False positive**    | A05 — Injection (TRUNCATE interpolation) | `SatelliteProvider.IntegrationTests/IntegrationTestDatabaseReset.cs:32`   | Hard-coded table list; no user input flows in; recorded so scanners don't re-flag           |
| F-DBR-2    | Low                   | A08 — Data Integrity (test-only)         | `SatelliteProvider.TestSupport/IntegrationTestResetGuard.cs:11-36`        | Destructive TRUNCATE gated by two soft guards (env + Host allowlist); deliberate operator-bypass surface |
| F-PERF-1   | Low                   | A06 / A07 — Token handling (CLI-only)    | `SatelliteProvider.IntegrationTests/PerfBootstrap.cs:21-48`               | 4-hour `GPS`-permission token written to stdout for the perf harness; operator-trusted machine assumed |

### Verdict reconciliation

- No new Critical or High findings → cycle 3 does NOT escalate the verdict.
- One new Low finding in production-adjacent surfaces (D4) — **test-only, never deployed**; documented remediation path in dependency_scan.md.
- Two new Informational items (F-AUTH-3, F-AUTH-4) — both by-design or test-runner-only.
- One Low finding in test-side destructive op (F-DBR-2) — unit-tested guard, conservative-by-default.
- One Low finding on operator-controlled perf-CLI surface (F-PERF-1) — accepted operational trade-off.
- One false positive (F-DBR-1) — recorded for future scanner runs.
- **Cycle-2 carry-overs resolved**: F-AUTH-2 (Medium, A07) and D3 (Low, A03) both flipped to RESOLVED. Cycle-1 D1 also flipped to RESOLVED.

**Current verdict: PASS_WITH_WARNINGS** (cycle 3 satisfies the autodev Step-14 gate; proceed to Step 15).

### New / refreshed cycle-3 recommendations

- **Pre-deploy gate (operational, NOT code)** — same forcing function as cycle 2's `JWT_SECRET` gate, now extended:
  - `deploy/SKILL.md` must verify `JWT_SECRET` is ≥ 32 bytes AND NOT equal to the DEV-ONLY placeholder.
  - `deploy/SKILL.md` must verify `JWT_ISSUER` and `JWT_AUDIENCE` are set to admin-team-confirmed prod values, NOT the `DEV-ONLY-` placeholders. A grep for `DEV-ONLY-` in the rendered deploy environment must return zero hits.
- **TestSupport 7.0.3 bump** (D4) — future PBI: bump `Microsoft.IdentityModel.Tokens` + `System.IdentityModel.Tokens.Jwt` to ≥ 7.1.2 (or align to the 8.0.x family). Eliminates the `NU1902` warning noise on every restore. Test-only, low priority.
- **Cross-repo doc** (AZ-494 AC-7) — `suite/_docs/10_auth.md` write deferred. Outside this workspace's boundary; tracked in `deploy_cycle2.md` R3 follow-up.
- **Token revocation list** (A07 residual) — accepted as out-of-scope until requirement emerges. Re-evaluate if cycle N introduces user-revocable tokens or session management.

### Cycle-3 hardening backlog (Low priority, NOT cycle-blocking)

- Add a third guard to `IntegrationTestResetGuard` requiring explicit `INTEGRATION_TEST_DB_RESET_CONFIRM=I-UNDERSTAND-THIS-TRUNCATES` when the guard runs against a non-`postgres` host (i.e. operator's `localhost` outside Docker).
- Drop `iss` / `aud` from the integration-tests startup banner (F-AUTH-3) once the AZ-494 contract is well-understood by everyone on the team; the byte-count line is enough.
- Pipe `--mint-only` token through a process substitution / `xargs` so it never lands in shell history.
