H1 corp_admin_cidrs (UFW 22/9009 on the corp NIC from these only; refuses
when it would lock out the current SSH client) and corp_ssh_password_auth
(sshd drop-in, passwords only from the imaging subnet). Defaults keep the
current behaviour and print a loud warning.
H2 pxe-netplan-apply.sh: pre-flight refusal (pxe-MAC NIC holds the default
route, a DHCP lease or the route to an SSH client), run from the USB
before anything changes; post-apply checks (names, imaging IPv4, corp
IPv4 back within 30 s, SSH route) and a 120 s systemd-run auto-revert.
H3 restore() puts the previous NIC names back (two-phase rename via
temporary names, so swaps work) before generate + apply.
H4 a failed rename is fatal (restore + exit 1); the play drops the old
any-interface UFW rules only after verifying both NICs and their
per-interface SSH rules.
H5 first-boot checks the playbook exit code, retries at next boot (max 5),
writes /var/lib/pxe-firstboot.failed and /etc/issue + /etc/motd banners.
M1 build-usb.sh verifies iPXE files against the playbook pins, every wheel
against its own package's hashes, drops the unpinned pip fallback,
requires --site-vars or --no-site-vars.
M2 webapp restarts when the code, wheels or unit changed.
M3 ignore-carrier on the imaging NIC; ip_nonlocal_bind kept for the
apache/networkd boot race.
M4 menu suffix must match blancco_kver; missing kernel with no earlier
build is fatal; a live menu with the staged Blancco test entry is not
overwritten.
M5 build-proxmox-iso.sh is unsupported (hard exit); use build-usb --image.
M6 deploy-unattend.sh: password via SSHPASS env and sudo stdin only,
%q-quoted remote args, sha256 check of the live file; lint-unattend.py
reads PXE_SERVER/PXE_USER/PXE_PASS and uses sshpass -e.
M7 the playbook lints the unattend files before the force: yes copies
(lint-unattend.py ships on CIDATA as scripts/); pre-commit ACMR.
M8 Blancco initramfs build: no ignore_errors, pipefail, trap cleanup.
Also: Send-ImagingStage.ps1 deploy, carrier hook install tasks
(pxe-nic-carrier, networkd-dispatcher), L1 imaging-active hold
(allow_disruptive) and no iPXE downgrade below an Updates-page install,
L2 iso-volid, L3 kver pin read from the playbook, L4 cp -rL, L5 refuse
>= 4 GiB WinPE files, L6 PIP_DIR wipe guard, L7 per-package wheel hashes,
no online fallback, L8 check-updates.py (apt_pkg/cached compare, all
components, exit 2 on no debs / bad answers).
- webapp/requirements.txt pins all eight wheels with sha256, at the fixed
releases (lxml 6.1.3 for GHSA-vfmq-68hx-4jfw / PYSEC-2026-87, werkzeug
3.1.9 for GHSA-g6x2-hccm-hh4m).
- download-packages.sh fetches exactly that set for Python 3.12 / x86_64
into an emptied folder; PIP_DIR is honoured inside the container (own
mount), files are handed back to the calling user, USE_DOCKER=1 forces
the container on a noble host, an unknown package name now prints apt's
error instead of failing silently, and linux-modules-extra-7.0.* is gone
(it does not exist; 7.0 ships those modules in linux-modules).
- Playbook: the wheel installer refuses any wheel whose sha256 is not
pinned, needs exactly one wheel per pin, and removes an older installed
version by its RECORD first. The webapp copy is a full rsync every run
(was cp with creates: app.py, which never updated an install).
- scripts/check-updates.py: offline debs against noble security/updates
and the pins against PyPI + osv.dev; exit 1 when something needs
updating. Run it before building a USB.
Tested: installer in a Python 3.12 venv (clean install, upgrade over lxml
6.0.4 + werkzeug 3.1.8 leaves no old dist-info, re-run is a no-op, a stray
wheel is refused); check-updates.py flags the April bundle (94 security
updates) and passes the pins.
