The application serves **`/robots.txt`** with **`Disallow: /`** (a hint to crawlers; it is not access control). The application includes **defence-in-depth** for the login and initial-setup endpoints: **per-IP rate limiting**, **lockout** after repeated failed passwords from an address (with **trusted client** recognition after a successful login so your own browsers are less likely to be blocked during broad attacks), **logging** of access attempts (IP, User-Agent, path, time) inspectable under **Debug Logs → Access attempts**, and session cookies configured as **HttpOnly** with **SameSite=Lax**. None of this removes the inherent risks of a public-facing service; it only reduces some abuse and accident scenarios. +### What you download should match what we built -### Core Security Features +Official release binaries and packages are built in **automation on GitHub**, not by hand on a laptop. Each tagged release is intended to ship: -- **ASAR Integrity Validation**: Utilizes Electron 39 features to protect the application against tampering. -- **Backend Binary Verification**: Generates a SHA-256 manifest of the unpacked Python backend during build and verifies it on every startup. -- **Data-at-Rest Integrity Monitoring**: Snapshots the state of identities and database files on clean shutdown and warns if they were modified while the app was closed. -- **CSP Hardening**: Multi-layered Content Security Policy protection across the entire application stack. -- **Hardened Electron Environment**: Hardened security by disabling `runAsNode` and `nodeOptions` environment variables via Electron Fuses. -- **Rootless Docker Images**: Support for running in restricted environments with rootless container images. +- **Installable files** (for example AppImage, `.deb`, Windows and macOS installers, Python wheels) from that tag. +- A **software bill of materials (SBOM)** in CycloneDX form (`sbom.cyclonedx.json`) where the Linux release pipeline produces it, so you or your tools can see what went into the build. +- **Signed provenance** files (`*.intoto.jsonl`) that cryptographically tie those binaries to the **same source repository and tag** on GitHub, using the industry [SLSA](https://slsa.dev/) approach and the [slsa-github-generator](https://github.com/slsa-framework/slsa-github-generator) project. New tags also get a **draft** GitHub release so assets can be reviewed before the release is published. -### Automated Security Measures +**Docker images** published to GitHub Container Registry are built in CI and **signed with Cosign (keyless / Sigstore)** so the signature can be checked against the image digest. -The project employs continuous security monitoring and testing: +**Optional extra signatures:** If you see `*.cosign.bundle` files next to a binary, those are additional attestations from a **repository-managed signing key** (when the project enables it). They are separate from the SLSA `*.intoto.jsonl` files; either or both may be present depending on configuration. -- **Security Scanning**: `.gitea/workflows/scan.yml` runs on a weekly schedule and on pushes to `master` and `dev`. It installs frontend dependencies and runs **Trivy filesystem** vulnerabilities on the repo (`scripts/ci/trivy-fs-scan.sh`: high and critical severities, exit non-zero on findings), and **Trivy Dockerfile** misconfiguration (`trivy config --exit-code 1 Dockerfile`). The **Docker** workflow runs **Trivy** on the built image (`trivy image`) separately from that job. -- **Auth and path-safety tests**: Pytest covers HTTP **401** on protected `/api/*` when `auth_enabled` is on and no session (`tests/backend/test_notifications.py`), **ValueError** on backup/snapshot delete paths that escape storage (`tests/backend/test_security_path_and_backup.py`), and **schema upgrade** from version **N-1** (`tests/backend/test_schema_migration_upgrade.py`). Database **backup/restore** round-trips are covered in `tests/backend/test_database_snapshots.py`. Login and setup **rate limiting**, **lockout**, and **access attempt** logging are covered in `tests/backend/test_access_attempts_dao.py` and `tests/backend/test_access_attempts_enforcement.py` (including Hypothesis and HTTP smoke tests). -- **CI**: On pushes and pull requests, **`pip-audit`** (Python) and **Trivy** (`trivy fs` via `scripts/ci/trivy-fs-scan.sh`) run against the repository tree (including Node lockfiles and manifests after install where applicable). -- **Pinned Actions**: CI/CD workflows use pinned actions with full URLs to forked, vetted actions hosted on our Gitea instance (`git.quad4.io`) where an action is used at all. -- **Extensive Testing & Fuzzing**: Backend benchmarking and stress coverage to reduce instability and resource-exhaustion risks. -- **Linting & Code Quality**: Linting and static analysis run on CI paths. +### Practical tips -## Release provenance +- Prefer **official download pages** or **GitHub Releases** for your copy of the app. +- For Docker, prefer an image referenced by **digest** (`@sha256:…`) once you trust a given build, not only by a moving tag. +- If something claims to be MeshChatX but does not match published checksums or verification steps, treat it as **untrusted**. -Tagged releases are built from `.gitea/workflows/build.yml`. Release assets include a CycloneDX SBOM (`sbom.cyclonedx.json`). When the repository secret **`COSIGN_PRIVATE_KEY`** is set (PEM from `cosign generate-key-pair`, with **`COSIGN_PASSWORD`** if the key is encrypted), the workflow also produces **SLSA v1**-style cosign bundle files (`*.cosign.bundle`) next to each attested artifact. +--- -Attestations are uploaded to the **Sigstore public transparency log (Rekor)** by default. The build runner must be able to reach the Rekor endpoint (default `https://rekor.sigstore.dev`; override with **`COSIGN_REKOR_URL`** if you use another instance). +## For security professionals and auditors -Commit the cosign **public** key at the **repository root** as **`cosign.pub`** so others can verify without hunting for the key out of band. +### Product controls (high level) -### Signing key rotation +- **Desktop (Electron):** Packaging and runtime follow [Electron security guidance](https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/tutorial/security); ASAR integrity and hardened defaults (for example fuses that reduce risky Node integration) are part of the shipped app. +- **Backend:** A SHA-256 manifest of the bundled Python backend is checked on startup to detect tampering with the on-disk payload. +- **Data at rest:** The application can detect unexpected changes to sensitive files between runs (integrity monitoring around identities and database state). +- **Web surface:** Content Security Policy is applied in depth across the stack. +- **Containers:** Images are intended to run **without root** inside the container where the platform supports it. -Rotate the signing key when it may be compromised or on an internal schedule (for example annually). Generate a new key pair, replace the **`COSIGN_PRIVATE_KEY`** (and password) secret in Gitea, and replace **`cosign.pub`** in the repository with the new public key. Releases built **before** rotation remain verifiable using the **old** public key kept alongside the download or in git history; document which key applies to which release tag if you maintain multiple keys. +### Build, supply chain, and transparency -## Verifying releases - -Install **[cosign](https://docs.sigstore.dev/cosign/installation/)**. Download the release artifact and its matching **`artifact.cosign.bundle`** from the same release page. - -Use a **permalink** to the public key that matches the signing key for that release (same tag or commit as the release, or a known-good commit that still documents the key you trust). Example (replace with your tag or commit as needed): - -- **Immutable commit (raw key):** - `https://git.quad4.io/RNS-Things/MeshChatX/raw/commit/a3ce41148e6b044d9dc78f2a024fec91d343edb9/cosign.pub` - -**Bash or zsh** (no separate key file; process substitution feeds the key to cosign): - -```bash -cosign verify-blob-attestation \ - --key <(curl -fsSL 'https://git.quad4.io/RNS-Things/MeshChatX/raw/commit/a3ce41148e6b044d9dc78f2a024fec91d343edb9/cosign.pub') \ - --bundle ./MeshChatX-Example.AppImage.cosign.bundle \ - --type slsaprovenance1 \ - ./MeshChatX-Example.AppImage -``` - -If your shell does not support `<(...)`, download the key once and pass a path: - -```bash -curl -fsSL -o cosign.pub 'https://git.quad4.io/RNS-Things/MeshChatX/raw/commit/a3ce41148e6b044d9dc78f2a024fec91d343edb9/cosign.pub' -cosign verify-blob-attestation \ - --key cosign.pub \ - --bundle ./MeshChatX-Example.AppImage.cosign.bundle \ - --type slsaprovenance1 \ - ./MeshChatX-Example.AppImage -``` - -If you intentionally use a private Sigstore deployment, set the same **`COSIGN_REKOR_URL`** (and any other Sigstore env vars) your builder used. - -When CI signing is disabled (no **`COSIGN_PRIVATE_KEY`**), there will be no **`.cosign.bundle`** files for that release. - -### Container images - -Published images are built in `.gitea/workflows/docker.yml`. **OCI image cosign signing is not wired in that workflow yet.** Until it is, treat digest pinning as the main integrity check: pull or reference the image by **`@sha256:`** from a trusted manifest or registry UI, and optionally run **`trivy image`** against that digest. When cosign image signing is added, verification will look like: - -```bash -cosign verify --key cosign.pub /@sha256: -``` - -(Exact flags may depend on keyless versus key-based signing; follow the release notes when signing lands.) +- **CI:** Automated pipelines (hosted on GitHub Actions) run dependency and configuration scanning (including **Trivy** and **pip-audit** on relevant paths), build checks, and security-relevant automated tests (authentication, path safety on dangerous operations, schema upgrades, backup/restore, rate limiting and access logging, and related areas). +- **Action pinning:** Third-party GitHub Actions are referenced with **pinned commit SHAs** in workflow definitions to reduce unexpected upgrades. +- **Releases:** Tagged release artifacts for Linux, Windows, and macOS are produced in CI. **SLSA Build Level 3–style provenance** for those artifacts is generated via the **generic** SLSA GitHub generator (`generator_generic_slsa3.yml` at release **v2.1.0**), which satisfies the **isolated builder and signed provenance** expectations for that tier; **distribution** (draft releases, mirrors) and **consumer verification** remain your operational controls, as described in upstream SLSA documentation. +- **Transparency logs:** Builds that use Sigstore (including the SLSA generator path and optional Cosign signing) normally write attestations to the **public Rekor** log (`https://rekor.sigstore.dev` by default). Private-repo or air-gapped policies may require different Sigstore settings; operators should align `COSIGN_REKOR_URL` and related variables with their own governance. +- **Cosign public key:** When repository key-based signing is used, the **public** key is published in-repo as `cosign.pub` so verifiers do not need a separate out-of-band key hunt. **Key rotation:** replace the GitHub secret holding the private key and update `cosign.pub` in the repository; older releases remain verifiable with the key that was current at build time. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/lang/README.de.md b/lang/README.de.md index d785b81..4aae7cd 100644 --- a/lang/README.de.md +++ b/lang/README.de.md @@ -310,7 +310,7 @@ Fuer konsistente Releases die Versionsfelder dort abgleichen, wo noetig (`packag - [`SECURITY.md`](../SECURITY.md) - Integrierte Integritaetspruefungen und HTTPS/WSS-Standardeinstellungen in der App -- CI-Scanning-Workflows in `.gitea/workflows/` +- CI- und Release-Workflows in `.github/workflows/`; auf Gitea nur `.gitea/workflows/github-release-sync.yml` für GitHub-Release-Sync (siehe `SECURITY.md`) ## Sprache hinzufuegen diff --git a/lang/README.it.md b/lang/README.it.md index ae79f94..956ace3 100644 --- a/lang/README.it.md +++ b/lang/README.it.md @@ -310,7 +310,7 @@ Per release coerenti, allineare i campi di versione dove richiesto (`package.jso - [`SECURITY.md`](../SECURITY.md) - Controlli di integrita integrati e HTTPS/WSS predefiniti nell'app -- Workflow di scansione CI in `.gitea/workflows/` +- CI e release in `.github/workflows/`; su Gitea solo `.gitea/workflows/github-release-sync.yml` per il sync delle release su GitHub (vedi `SECURITY.md`) ## Aggiungere una lingua diff --git a/lang/README.ja.md b/lang/README.ja.md index 3ab2ceb..91d13d4 100644 --- a/lang/README.ja.md +++ b/lang/README.ja.md @@ -310,7 +310,7 @@ pnpm run version:sync - [`SECURITY.md`](../SECURITY.md) - アプリ実行時の組み込み整合性チェックとデフォルトの HTTPS/WSS -- `.gitea/workflows/` の CI スキャンワークフロー +- CI とリリースは `.github/workflows/`。Gitea では GitHub リリース同期用に `.gitea/workflows/github-release-sync.yml` のみ（`SECURITY.md` を参照） ## 言語の追加 diff --git a/lang/README.ru.md b/lang/README.ru.md index 6e17743..ad5d468 100644 --- a/lang/README.ru.md +++ b/lang/README.ru.md @@ -310,7 +310,7 @@ pnpm run version:sync - [`SECURITY.md`](../SECURITY.md) - Встроенные проверки целостности и HTTPS/WSS по умолчанию в приложении -- CI-сканирование в `.gitea/workflows/` +- CI и релизы в `.github/workflows/`; на Gitea только `.gitea/workflows/github-release-sync.yml` для выгрузки релизов на GitHub (см. `SECURITY.md`) ## Добавление языка diff --git a/lang/README.zh.md b/lang/README.zh.md index 7ab6f2e..a213830 100644 --- a/lang/README.zh.md +++ b/lang/README.zh.md @@ -310,7 +310,7 @@ pnpm run version:sync - [`SECURITY.md`](../SECURITY.md) - 应用内置完整性检查与默认 HTTPS/WSS -- `.gitea/workflows/` 中的 CI 扫描工作流 +- CI 与发版在 `.github/workflows/`；Gitea 仅保留 `.gitea/workflows/github-release-sync.yml` 用于同步 GitHub Release（见 `SECURITY.md`） ## 添加语言
