Fix CRITICAL and HIGH security vulnerabilities in certificate renewal
Addresses all critical and high-severity findings from Fable security review. CRITICAL FIX #1: Server Certificate Validation Bypass - File: CertificateRenewal.cs - Issue: Agent accepted ANY server certificate when ServerCertThumbprint not configured - Fix: Now validates against Windows trusted roots when pinning not configured - Impact: Prevents MITM attacks during renewal requests CRITICAL FIX #2: Certificate Revocation Check Incomplete - Files: asset.py, client_cert.py, migration 0022 - Issue: Revocation check used hasattr() and silently skipped when columns missing - Fix: Applied migration 0022, uncommented revocation columns, removed hasattr() - Impact: Revoked certificates can no longer authenticate or renew CRITICAL FIX #3: Expired Certificates Cannot Renew - Files: routes.py (renewal endpoint), CertificateRenewal.cs - Issue: Expired certs fail at TLS handshake before reaching renewal endpoint - Fix: Added API key + hostname fallback for renewal when cert expired - Agent now sends hostname in request body for API key authentication - Impact: Agents can renew expired certificates, 30-day window becomes effective HIGH FIX #4: Hostname Injection Vulnerability - File: routes.py - Issue: No validation before passing hostname to certificate generation - Fix: Added regex validation - 1-64 chars, alphanumeric plus dot/hyphen/underscore - Impact: Prevents injection attacks via malicious hostnames HIGH FIX #5: Rate Limit Bypass via Clock Manipulation - File: routes.py - Issue: Naive UTC datetime arithmetic vulnerable to timezone changes - Fix: Use timezone-aware datetime with explicit UTC conversion - Impact: Rate limit cannot be bypassed via clock manipulation HIGH FIX #6: Hard Process Termination Loses In-Flight Work - File: Program.cs - Issue: Environment.Exit(0) aborted in-flight work and could corrupt state - Fix: Graceful return from RunHostAsync() instead of Environment.Exit() - Impact: Service exits cleanly, no lost telemetry or corrupted local state HIGH FIX #7: Missing Database Transaction Isolation - File: routes.py - Issue: Race condition in concurrent renewal requests - Fix: Added with_for_update() row-level locking for both auth paths - Impact: Prevents concurrent renewals from bypassing rate limit MEDIUM FIX #8: Missing Audit Logging for Failures - File: routes.py - Issue: Failed renewal attempts not captured in audit trail - Fix: Added AuditLog.log() for cert generation and database update failures - Impact: Security monitoring can detect repeated renewal failures SECURITY HARDENING: - Server cert validation: Never accepts certificates blindly - Revocation enforcement: Fail closed if columns missing - Expired cert handling: Dual-auth allows renewal while maintaining security - Input validation: Hostname must match safe character set - Transaction safety: Row locks prevent race conditions - Audit trail: All failures logged for security monitoring OPERATIONAL IMPROVEMENTS: - Agents can now renew expired certificates (no more manual intervention) - Graceful shutdown prevents data loss during renewal - Rate limiting immune to timezone issues - Comprehensive audit trail for troubleshooting ADR COMPLIANCE: - Maintains ADR-001 (Asset as platform contract) - Maintains ADR-006 (Collector contract - backward compatible) - Database naming (snake_case columns) - No unicode/emojis - Security best practices: ALL CRITICAL/HIGH issues resolved Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
