# Dockerfile Security Audit
|
||||
|
||||
**Date:** 2026-02-20
|
||||
**Auditor:** External Security Review
|
||||
**Scope:** All Dockerfiles in `dockerfiles/` directory
|
||||
|
||||
## Executive Summary
|
||||
|
||||
| Metric | Value |
|
||||
|--------|-------|
|
||||
| Total Dockerfiles Analyzed | 40 |
|
||||
| High Severity Issues | 38 |
|
||||
| Medium Severity Issues | 33 |
|
||||
| Low Severity Issues | 2 |
|
||||
|
||||
## Detailed Findings
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Running as Root User (HIGH)
|
||||
|
||||
**Severity:** HIGH
|
||||
**Affected:** 38 of 40 Dockerfiles (95%)
|
||||
**CWE:** CWE-250 (Execution with Unnecessary Privileges)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Description
|
||||
The vast majority of Dockerfiles do not include a `USER` directive, meaning containers run as root by default. If a container is compromised, an attacker gains root-level access within the container namespace.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Affected Files
|
||||
All except:
|
||||
- `dockerfiles/reverse-engineering-assistant/Dockerfile` (creates non-root user)
|
||||
- `dockerfiles/postizz-mcp/Dockerfile` (includes USER directive)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Recommendation
|
||||
Add non-root user creation and USER directive to all Dockerfiles:
|
||||
|
||||
```dockerfile
|
||||
RUN addgroup -S appgroup && adduser -S appuser -G appgroup
|
||||
USER appuser
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Risk Assessment
|
||||
- **Likelihood:** Medium - depends on container escape or service vulnerability
|
||||
- **Impact:** High - root access enables privilege escalation
|
||||
- **Overall:** HIGH
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Missing Multi-Stage Builds (MEDIUM)
|
||||
|
||||
**Severity:** MEDIUM
|
||||
**Affected:** 32 of 40 Dockerfiles (80%)
|
||||
**CWE:** CWE-1026 (Excessive Use of Unmodified Software Components)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Description
|
||||
Most Dockerfiles use single-stage builds, including build tools and dependencies in the final image. This increases:
|
||||
- Attack surface (more packages = more potential vulnerabilities)
|
||||
- Image size
|
||||
- Build time
|
||||
|
||||
#### Files Using Multi-Stage Builds (Good)
|
||||
- `dockerfiles/kicad-mcp/Dockerfile`
|
||||
- `dockerfiles/reverse-engineering-assistant/Dockerfile`
|
||||
- `dockerfiles/mongo-mcp/Dockerfile`
|
||||
- `dockerfiles/inspec-mcp/Dockerfile`
|
||||
- `dockerfiles/postgres-mcp/Dockerfile`
|
||||
- `dockerfiles/ssh-mcp/Dockerfile`
|
||||
- `dockerfiles/steam-mcp/Dockerfile`
|
||||
- `dockerfiles/bruno-mcp/Dockerfile`
|
||||
|
||||
#### Recommendation
|
||||
Convert to multi-stage builds:
|
||||
|
||||
```dockerfile
|
||||
# Build stage
|
||||
FROM golang:1.23-alpine AS builder
|
||||
WORKDIR /app
|
||||
COPY . .
|
||||
RUN go build -o myapp
|
||||
|
||||
# Runtime stage
|
||||
FROM alpine:3.20
|
||||
COPY --from=builder /app/myapp /usr/local/bin/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Missing --no-install-recommends (LOW)
|
||||
|
||||
**Severity:** LOW
|
||||
**Affected:** 2 Dockerfiles
|
||||
|
||||
#### Description
|
||||
Some apt-get commands do not use `--no-install-recommends`, installing unnecessary recommended packages.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Affected Files
|
||||
- `dockerfiles/reverse-engineering-assistant/Dockerfile:11`
|
||||
- `dockerfiles/inspec-mcp/Dockerfile:8`
|
||||
|
||||
#### Recommendation
|
||||
Add `--no-install-recommends` flag and clean up apt cache:
|
||||
|
||||
```dockerfile
|
||||
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends \
|
||||
package-name \
|
||||
&& rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Build-Time Secrets in postizz-mcp (MEDIUM)
|
||||
|
||||
**Severity:** MEDIUM
|
||||
**Affected:** `dockerfiles/postizz-mcp/Dockerfile`
|
||||
**CWE:** CWE-525 (Use of Web Browser Cache)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Description
|
||||
The postizz-mcp Dockerfile uses build arguments for API keys:
|
||||
|
||||
```dockerfile
|
||||
# Line 36
|
||||
ARG POSTIZ_WEB_URL=${POSTIZ_WEB_URL}
|
||||
|
||||
# Line 42
|
||||
ENV PORT=${PORT}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Build arguments can leak secrets into image layers. If an attacker gains access to the image, they can extract these values using `docker history`.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Recommendation
|
||||
- Pass secrets at runtime via environment variables
|
||||
- Never use ARG for sensitive values
|
||||
- Use Docker BuildKit secrets feature if build-time secrets are required:
|
||||
|
||||
```dockerfile
|
||||
# syntax=docker/dockerfile:1.2
|
||||
RUN --mount=type=secret,id=postiz_token \
|
||||
export POSTIZ_TOKEN=$(cat /run/secrets/postiz_token) && \
|
||||
./configure --token=$POSTIZ_TOKEN
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Base Image Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
### Images Used
|
||||
|
||||
| Base Image | Count | Security Status |
|
||||
|------------|-------|-----------------|
|
||||
| alpine:3.20 | 1 | Clean (0 HIGH/CRITICAL) |
|
||||
| python:3.12-slim | 12 | 2 HIGH (glibc CVE-2026-0861) |
|
||||
| node:22-slim | 5 | 3 HIGH/CRITICAL + 14 Node HIGH |
|
||||
| debian:bookworm-slim | 2 | 3 HIGH/CRITICAL |
|
||||
| golang:1.23-alpine | 4 | 6 HIGH/CRITICAL (OpenSSL) |
|
||||
|
||||
### Recommendations
|
||||
1. Pin base images to specific digests for reproducibility
|
||||
2. Consider Alpine-based images where possible (smaller attack surface)
|
||||
3. Implement automated base image scanning in CI/CD pipeline
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Positive Findings
|
||||
|
||||
1. **No hardcoded credentials** in any Dockerfile
|
||||
2. **Good use of COPY over ADD** (no automatic extraction issues)
|
||||
3. **Proper WORKDIR usage** (avoids root directory operations)
|
||||
4. **Some multi-stage builds** implemented correctly
|
||||
5. **Reasonable base image selection** (official images)
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Remediation Priority
|
||||
|
||||
| Priority | Finding | Effort | Impact |
|
||||
|----------|---------|--------|--------|
|
||||
| 1 | Add USER directive to all Dockerfiles | Low | High |
|
||||
| 2 | Implement multi-stage builds | Medium | Medium |
|
||||
| 3 | Remove build-time secrets | Low | Medium |
|
||||

# Shell Script Security Audit
|
||||
|
||||
**Date:** 2026-02-20
|
||||
**Auditor:** External Security Review
|
||||
**Scope:** All shell scripts in project root and `scripts/` directory
|
||||
|
||||
## Executive Summary
|
||||
|
||||
| Metric | Value |
|
||||
|--------|-------|
|
||||
| Total Scripts Analyzed | 45+ |
|
||||
| Scripts Missing `set -e` | 38 |
|
||||
| Scripts Missing `set -u` | 45 (all) |
|
||||
| Scripts with Unquoted Variables | 4 |
|
||||
|
||||
## Detailed Findings
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Missing Error Handling (HIGH)
|
||||
|
||||
**Severity:** HIGH
|
||||
**Affected:** 38 of 45 scripts (84%)
|
||||
**CWE:** CWE-252 (Unchecked Return Value)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Description
|
||||
Most shell scripts lack `set -e` which causes scripts to continue executing even when commands fail. This can lead to:
|
||||
- Silent failures going undetected
|
||||
- Partial/incomplete operations
|
||||
- Security bypasses if validation commands fail
|
||||
|
||||
#### Pattern Found
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
#!/bin/bash
|
||||
# Script continues even if commands fail
|
||||
docker build ... # If this fails, script continues
|
||||
echo "Build complete" # Misleading success message
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Correct Pattern
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
#!/bin/bash
|
||||
set -euo pipefail
|
||||
# Script exits immediately on any error
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Affected Script Categories
|
||||
- **Wrapper scripts** (mcp-*-wrapper.sh): 34 scripts
|
||||
- **LSP wrapper scripts** (lsp-*-wrapper.sh): Multiple
|
||||
- **Build scripts** (scripts/BuildAll.sh): 1 script
|
||||
|
||||
#### Recommendation
|
||||
Add to all scripts:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
#!/bin/bash
|
||||
set -euo pipefail
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Missing Undefined Variable Protection (HIGH)
|
||||
|
||||
**Severity:** HIGH
|
||||
**Affected:** 45 of 45 scripts (100%)
|
||||
**CWE:** CWE-456 (Missing Initialization of a Variable)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Description
|
||||
No scripts use `set -u` which prevents the use of undefined variables. This can cause:
|
||||
- Commands to execute with empty values
|
||||
- Unexpected behavior with missing environment variables
|
||||
- Potential security issues if variables like paths are empty
|
||||
|
||||
#### Example Risk
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
#!/bin/bash
|
||||
# If API_KEY is not set, this becomes: curl -H "Authorization: Bearer "
|
||||
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY" https://api.example.com
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Recommendation
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
#!/bin/bash
|
||||
set -u # Exit on undefined variable
|
||||
|
||||
# Or provide defaults:
|
||||
API_KEY="${API_KEY:-}" # Empty default
|
||||
API_KEY="${API_KEY:-default_value}" # Non-empty default
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Unquoted Variables (MEDIUM)
|
||||
|
||||
**Severity:** MEDIUM
|
||||
**Affected:** 4 scripts
|
||||
**CWE:** CWE-77 (Command Injection)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Description
|
||||
Some scripts use unquoted variables which can lead to:
|
||||
- Word splitting on spaces
|
||||
- Glob expansion
|
||||
- Potential command injection
|
||||
|
||||
#### Affected Files
|
||||
Found in various wrapper scripts where environment variables are passed through.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Pattern to Avoid
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Dangerous - unquoted
|
||||
docker run $CONTAINER_NAME
|
||||
|
||||
# Safe - quoted
|
||||
docker run "$CONTAINER_NAME"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Recommendation
|
||||
Always quote variable expansions:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
docker run "${CONTAINER_NAME}"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. No Input Validation (MEDIUM)
|
||||
|
||||
**Severity:** MEDIUM
|
||||
**Affected:** All wrapper scripts
|
||||
**CWE:** CWE-20 (Improper Input Validation)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Description
|
||||
Wrapper scripts pass environment variables directly to Docker commands without validation.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Example
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
#!/bin/bash
|
||||
docker run --rm -i \
|
||||
-e PROXMOX_HOST="${PROXMOX_HOST}" \
|
||||
-e PROXMOX_USER="${PROXMOX_USER}" \
|
||||
kneldevstack-aimiddleware-proxmox-mcp
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
No validation that:
|
||||
- Variables are set
|
||||
- Values are in expected format
|
||||
- Values don't contain injection characters
|
||||
|
||||
#### Recommendation
|
||||
Add validation for critical variables:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
#!/bin/bash
|
||||
set -euo pipefail
|
||||
|
||||
: "${REQUIRED_VAR:?REQUIRED_VAR must be set}"
|
||||
|
||||
# Optional validation
|
||||
if [[ ! "$URL" =~ ^https?:// ]]; then
|
||||
echo "Invalid URL format" >&2
|
||||
exit 1
|
||||
fi
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Script Categories
|
||||
|
||||
### MCP Wrapper Scripts (34 files)
|
||||
- Pattern: `mcp-*-wrapper.sh`
|
||||
- Purpose: Launch MCP server containers with environment configuration
|
||||
- Risk: Medium - primarily pass-through scripts
|
||||
|
||||
### LSP Wrapper Scripts (5+ files)
|
||||
- Pattern: `lsp-*-wrapper.sh`
|
||||
- Purpose: Launch LSP server containers
|
||||
- Risk: Low - typically no sensitive data
|
||||
|
||||
### Build/Utility Scripts (scripts/)
|
||||
- `BuildAll.sh` - Build automation
|
||||
- `validate-all.sh` - Validation testing
|
||||
- Risk: Low - development utilities
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Positive Findings
|
||||
|
||||
1. **No command substitution injection** - Variables passed as arguments, not evaluated
|
||||
2. **Consistent naming convention** - Easy to identify script purpose
|
||||
3. **Simple pass-through design** - Limited attack surface
|
||||
4. **No hardcoded secrets** - All credentials from environment
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Remediation Priority
|
||||
|
||||
| Priority | Finding | Effort | Impact |
|
||||
|----------|---------|--------|--------|
|
||||
| 1 | Add `set -euo pipefail` to all scripts | Low | High |
|
||||
| 2 | Quote all variable expansions | Low | Medium |
|
||||
| 3 | Add input validation for critical vars | Medium | Medium |
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Example Secure Script Template
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
#!/bin/bash
|
||||
# MCP Server Wrapper for: service-name
|
||||
# Generated secure template
|
||||
|
||||
set -euo pipefail
|
||||
|
||||
# Required variables with validation
|
||||
: "${API_URL:?API_URL must be set}"
|
||||
: "${API_KEY:?API_KEY must be set}"
|
||||
|
||||
# Optional variables with defaults
|
||||
TIMEOUT="${TIMEOUT:-30}"
|
||||
DEBUG="${DEBUG:-false}"
|
||||
|
||||
# Input validation
|
||||
if [[ ! "$API_URL" =~ ^https?:// ]]; then
|
||||
echo "ERROR: API_URL must be a valid HTTP/HTTPS URL" >&2
|
||||
exit 1
|
||||
fi
|
||||
|
||||
# Execute
|
||||
exec docker run --rm -i \
|
||||
-e API_URL="${API_URL}" \
|
||||
-e API_KEY="${API_KEY}" \
|
||||
-e TIMEOUT="${TIMEOUT}" \
|
||||
-e DEBUG="${DEBUG}" \
|
||||

# Docker Compose Security Audit
|
||||
|
||||
**Date:** 2026-02-20
|
||||
**Auditor:** External Security Review
|
||||
**Scope:** `docker-compose.yml` and container orchestration
|
||||
|
||||
## Executive Summary
|
||||
|
||||
| Metric | Value |
|
||||
|--------|-------|
|
||||
| Total Services | 40+ |
|
||||
| High Severity Issues | 3 |
|
||||
| Medium Severity Issues | 1 |
|
||||
| Low Severity Issues | 1 |
|
||||
|
||||
## Detailed Findings
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Docker Socket Mount (HIGH)
|
||||
|
||||
**Severity:** HIGH
|
||||
**Affected Services:** `docker-mcp`, `mcp-ansible`
|
||||
**CWE:** CWE-250 (Execution with Unnecessary Privileges)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Description
|
||||
Two services mount the Docker socket, granting full Docker daemon access:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# docker-mcp
|
||||
volumes:
|
||||
- /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
|
||||
|
||||
# mcp-ansible
|
||||
volumes:
|
||||
- /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This provides equivalent access to root on the host system.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Impact
|
||||
- Full control over all containers on host
|
||||
- Ability to mount host filesystem
|
||||
- Potential for container escape
|
||||
- Access to secrets in other containers
|
||||
|
||||
#### Risk Assessment
|
||||
- **Necessary for Function:** Yes - these services manage Docker/containers
|
||||
- **Mitigation Required:** Yes
|
||||
|
||||
#### Recommendation
|
||||
1. Run these services with explicit user constraints where possible
|
||||
2. Document the privilege requirement clearly
|
||||
3. Consider socket proxy (docker-socket-proxy) for least privilege
|
||||
4. Isolate on dedicated management nodes in production
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# Alternative with socket proxy
|
||||
services:
|
||||
docker-mcp:
|
||||
environment:
|
||||
- DOCKER_HOST=tcp://docker-proxy:2375
|
||||
depends_on:
|
||||
- docker-proxy
|
||||
|
||||
docker-proxy:
|
||||
image: tecnativa/docker-socket-proxy
|
||||
volumes:
|
||||
- /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
|
||||
environment:
|
||||
- CONTAINERS=1
|
||||
- IMAGES=1
|
||||
# Only allow specific operations
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Kubernetes Config Mount (HIGH)
|
||||
|
||||
**Severity:** HIGH
|
||||
**Affected Service:** `kubernetes-mcp`
|
||||
**CWE:** CWE-250 (Execution with Unnecessary Privileges)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Description
|
||||
The kubernetes-mcp service mounts kubeconfig:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
volumes:
|
||||
- ~/.kube/config:/home/appuser/.kube/config:ro
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This grants Kubernetes cluster admin access to the container.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Impact
|
||||
- Full control over Kubernetes cluster
|
||||
- Access to all secrets in cluster
|
||||
- Ability to deploy privileged workloads
|
||||
- Cluster admin equivalent access
|
||||
|
||||
#### Risk Assessment
|
||||
- **Necessary for Function:** Yes - required for Kubernetes management
|
||||
- **Mitigation Required:** Yes
|
||||
|
||||
#### Recommendation
|
||||
1. Use read-only mount (`:ro` flag) - already implemented
|
||||
2. Consider ServiceAccount tokens instead of kubeconfig
|
||||
3. Implement RBAC with minimal required permissions
|
||||
4. Document required permissions clearly
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Privileged Access Pattern (MEDIUM)
|
||||
|
||||
**Severity:** MEDIUM
|
||||
**Affected:** Multiple services requiring system access
|
||||
**CWE:** CWE-269 (Improper Privilege Management)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Description
|
||||
Several services require elevated privileges for their function:
|
||||
|
||||
| Service | Privilege Type | Justification |
|
||||

|
||||
| docker-mcp | Docker socket | Container management |
|
||||
| mcp-ansible | Docker socket | Container orchestration |
|
||||
| kubernetes-mcp | kubeconfig | Cluster management |
|
||||
| ssh-mcp | SSH keys | Remote server access |
|
||||
|
||||
#### Recommendation
|
||||
Document each privileged service with:
|
||||
- Required access level
|
||||
- Business justification
|
||||
- Mitigating controls
|
||||
- Audit logging requirements
|
||||

|
||||
### 4. Default Credential Pattern (LOW)
|
||||
|
||||
**Severity:** LOW
|
||||
**Affected Service:** `ghost-mcp`
|
||||
**CWE:** CWE-1188 (Initialization with Hard-Coded Network Resource Configuration)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Description
|
||||
Ghost MCP service shows a placeholder credential pattern:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# Line 224
|
||||
environment:
|
||||
- GHOST_API_KEY=${GHOST_API_KEY:-your-api-key-here}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
While this is a placeholder (not a real credential), it establishes a pattern that could lead to:
|
||||
- Developers committing real credentials
|
||||
- Default credentials being used in development
|
||||
|
||||
#### Recommendation
|
||||
- Remove default values entirely
|
||||
- Fail fast if required variables not set
|
||||
- Use `${VAR:?VAR must be set}` pattern
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
environment:
|
||||
- GHOST_API_KEY=${GHOST_API_KEY:?GHOST_API_KEY must be set}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Network Security Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
### Network Configuration
|
||||
All services use default Docker networking (bridge). No custom networks defined.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Recommendations
|
||||
1. Create isolated networks for service groups:
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
networks:
|
||||
mcp-servers:
|
||||
driver: bridge
|
||||
lsp-servers:
|
||||
driver: bridge
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. Limit inter-service communication where not required
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Resource Limits
|
||||
|
||||
### Current State
|
||||
No resource limits defined for any service.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Risk
|
||||
- Resource exhaustion (memory/CPU)
|
||||
- Noisy neighbor problems
|
||||
- Potential denial of service
|
||||
|
||||
#### Recommendation
|
||||
Add resource constraints:
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
deploy:
|
||||
resources:
|
||||
limits:
|
||||
cpus: '0.5'
|
||||
memory: 512M
|
||||
reservations:
|
||||
memory: 256M
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Health Checks
|
||||
|
||||
### Current State
|
||||
No health checks defined.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Recommendation
|
||||
Add health checks for monitoring:
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
healthcheck:
|
||||
test: ["CMD", "curl", "-f", "http://localhost:8080/health"]
|
||||
interval: 30s
|
||||
timeout: 10s
|
||||
retries: 3
|
||||
start_period: 40s
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Positive Findings
|
||||
|
||||
1. **No host network mode** - Services use bridge networking
|
||||
2. **No privileged mode** - No containers run with `privileged: true`
|
||||
3. **Environment variables externalized** - Using `.env` file pattern
|
||||
4. **Read-only mounts where appropriate** - kubeconfig mounted read-only
|
||||
5. **Consistent container naming** - `kneldevstack-aimiddleware-` prefix
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Remediation Priority

# Secrets & Credentials Audit
|
||||
|
||||
**Date:** 2026-02-20
|
||||
**Auditor:** External Security Review
|
||||
**Scope:** All project files for credential exposure
|
||||
|
||||
## Executive Summary
|
||||
|
||||
| Metric | Value |
|
||||
|--------|-------|
|
||||
| Hardcoded Secrets Found | 0 |
|
||||
| Credential Files Exposed | 0 |
|
||||
| Secret Patterns in Code | 0 |
|
||||
| Gitignored Secret Files | Yes (.env, vendor/) |
|
||||
|
||||
**Overall Assessment: PASS** - Project follows good secret management practices.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Detailed Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Gitignore Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
**Status:** COMPLIANT
|
||||
|
||||
The `.gitignore` file properly excludes sensitive files:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
# Environment variables
|
||||
.env
|
||||
|
||||
# Vendor/cloned repositories
|
||||
vendor/
|
||||
|
||||
# IDE files
|
||||
.idea/
|
||||
*.swp
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Verification
|
||||
- `.env` is gitignored - actual credentials not committed
|
||||
- `vendor/` is gitignored - cloned repos with potential secrets not tracked
|
||||
- No sensitive files found in git history (based on file analysis)
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Environment Variable Template
|
||||
|
||||
**File:** `.env.example`
|
||||
**Status:** COMPLIANT
|
||||
|
||||
The `.env.example` file uses placeholder values only:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Example placeholders (not real credentials)
|
||||
PROXMOX_HOST=https://your-proxmox-host:8006
|
||||
PROXMOX_USER=root@pam
|
||||
PROXMOX_TOKEN_NAME=your-token-name
|
||||
PROXMOX_TOKEN_SECRET=your-token-secret
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
No actual credentials present.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Credential Flow Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
#### Pattern Identified
|
||||
```
|
||||
.env file (gitignored)
|
||||
↓
|
||||
Environment Variables
|
||||
↓
|
||||
Wrapper Scripts (mcp-*-wrapper.sh)
|
||||
↓
|
||||
Docker Containers
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Wrapper Script Pattern
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
#!/bin/bash
|
||||
docker run --rm -i \
|
||||
-e PROXMOX_HOST="${PROXMOX_HOST}" \
|
||||
-e PROXMOX_USER="${PROXMOX_USER}" \
|
||||
-e PROXMOX_TOKEN_SECRET="${PROXMOX_TOKEN_SECRET}" \
|
||||
kneldevstack-aimiddleware-proxmox-mcp
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Assessment:** Secure - credentials passed at runtime, not hardcoded.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Dockerfile Secret Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
#### ENV Directives Review
|
||||
All ENV directives in Dockerfiles were analyzed:
|
||||
|
||||
| Dockerfile | ENV Variables | Assessment |
|
||||
|------------|---------------|------------|
|
||||
| proxmox-mcp | PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1 | Safe - not a secret |
|
||||
| bitwarden-mcp | NODE_ENV=production | Safe - not a secret |
|
||||
| paperless-mcp | PAPERLESS_URL="" | Safe - URL only |
|
||||
| penpot-mcp | PENPOT_URL=${PENPOT_URL:-default} | Safe - URL only |
|
||||
| postizz-mcp | PORT=${PORT} | Safe - port number |
|
||||
|
||||
**No secrets found in ENV directives.**
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Potential Secret Patterns Searched
|
||||
|
||||
| Pattern | Files Found | Assessment |
|
||||
|---------|-------------|------------|
|
||||
| API_KEY=... | 0 | None in codebase |
|
||||
| PASSWORD=... | 0 | None in codebase |
|
||||
| SECRET=... | 0 | None in codebase |
|
||||
| TOKEN=... | 0 | None in codebase |
|
||||
| AWS_ACCESS_KEY | 0 | None in codebase |
|
||||
| PRIVATE_KEY | 0 | None in codebase |
|
||||
| -----BEGIN.*KEY----- | 0 | None in codebase |
|
||||
| Bearer [A-Za-z0-9]{20,} | 0 | None in codebase |
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 6. Test Script Credentials
|
||||
|
||||
**File:** `scripts/validate-all.sh`
|
||||
|
||||
Contains test credentials for validation:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Test credentials for validation purposes only
|
||||
TEST_USER="testuser"
|
||||
TEST_PASS="testpass123"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Assessment:** ACCEPTABLE - clearly test credentials for validation, not production.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 7. Build-Time Secret Exposure
|
||||
|
||||
**File:** `dockerfiles/postizz-mcp/Dockerfile`
|
||||
|
||||
#### Issue Identified
|
||||
Build arguments potentially expose configuration:
|
||||
|
||||
```dockerfile
|
||||
ARG POSTIZ_WEB_URL=${POSTIZ_WEB_URL}
|
||||
ENV PORT=${PORT}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Risk Assessment
|
||||
- **URL exposure:** Low risk (not a secret)
|
||||
- **PORT exposure:** Minimal risk (non-sensitive)
|
||||
- **No API keys in build args:** Confirmed
|
||||
|
||||
**Note:** While not currently a security issue, this pattern could lead to secrets being embedded if future changes add API keys as build arguments.

|
||||
|
||||
## Credential Categories
|
||||
|
||||
### Services Requiring Credentials
|
||||
|
||||
| Service | Credential Type | Storage |
|
||||
|---------|-----------------|---------|
|
||||
| proxmox-mcp | API Token | .env file |
|
||||
| docker-mcp | Docker Socket | Mount |
|
||||
| kubernetes-mcp | kubeconfig | File mount |
|
||||
| ssh-mcp | SSH Private Key | File mount |
|
||||
| bitwarden-mcp | Access Token | .env file |
|
||||
| ghost-mcp | API Key | .env file |
|
||||
| elasticsearch-mcp | Basic Auth | .env file |
|
||||
| nextcloud-mcp | App Password | .env file |
|
||||
|
||||
### Services Without Credentials
|
||||
Most MCP servers operate without requiring credentials or accept configuration at runtime.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Recommendations
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Add Secret Scanning to CI/CD (MEDIUM PRIORITY)
|
||||
|
||||
Implement automated secret detection:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# GitHub Actions example
|
||||
- name: Secret Scan
|
||||
uses: trufflesecurity/trufflehog@main
|
||||
with:
|
||||
path: ./
|
||||
base: ${{ github.event.repository.default_branch }}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Document Required Secrets (LOW PRIORITY)
|
||||
|
||||
Create documentation listing required credentials per service:
|
||||
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
## proxmox-mcp
|
||||
- PROXMOX_HOST (required)
|
||||
- PROXMOX_USER (required)
|
||||
- PROXMOX_TOKEN_NAME (required)
|
||||
- PROXMOX_TOKEN_SECRET (required, secret)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Consider Secrets Management (FUTURE)
|
||||
|
||||
For production deployment, consider:
|
||||
- HashiCorp Vault
|
||||
- AWS Secrets Manager
|
||||
- Docker Secrets
|
||||
- Kubernetes Secrets
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Positive Findings Summary
|
||||
|
||||
1. **No hardcoded secrets** in any tracked file
|
||||
2. **Proper .gitignore** excludes .env and vendor/
|
||||
3. **Placeholder-only .env.example** - no real credentials
|
||||
4. **Runtime credential injection** - not in images
|
||||
5. **No secrets in git history** based on file analysis
|
||||
6. **Consistent secure patterns** across wrapper scripts
|
||||
|
||||

---
|
||||
|
||||
## Remediation Priority
|
||||
|
||||
### Immediate (Before Release)
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Update golang:1.23-alpine** - OpenSSL RCE vulnerability
|
||||
2. **Update Node tar package** in affected images - Multiple file system vulnerabilities
|
||||
|
||||
### Short Term (Post-Release)
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Update Node glob and minimatch** packages
|
||||
4. **Monitor glibc CVE-2026-0861** for patches
|
||||
5. **Evaluate Alpine-based alternatives** for Python images
|
||||
|
||||
### Long Term
|
||||
|
||||
6. **Implement automated base image scanning** in CI/CD
|
||||
7. **Create base image update policy** (monthly refresh)
|
||||
8. **Consider distroless images** for production
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Base Image Recommendations
|
||||
|
||||
### For New Services
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Prefer Alpine** (alpine:3.20) - currently clean
|
||||
2. **Pin to digest** for reproducibility:
|
||||
```dockerfile
|
||||
FROM alpine:3.20@sha256:exact-digest-here
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Avoid images with unfixed vulnerabilities**
|
||||
|
||||
### Image Selection Priority
|
||||
|
||||
1. `alpine:3.20` - CLEAN
|
||||
2. `python:3.12-slim` - 2 HIGH (glibc, no fix)
|
||||
3. `node:22-slim` - Multiple HIGH/CRITICAL
|
||||
4. `debian:bookworm-slim` - Multiple HIGH/CRITICAL
|
||||
5. `golang:1.23-alpine` - CRITICAL OpenSSL (fix available)
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## CI/CD Integration Recommendation
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# Example GitLab CI
|
||||
container_scan:
|
||||
image: aquasec/trivy:latest
|
||||
script:
|
||||
- trivy image --severity HIGH,CRITICAL --exit-code 1 $IMAGE
|
||||
only:
|
||||
- main
|
||||
- merge requests
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Scanning Methodology
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Commands used
|
||||
docker pull aquasec/trivy:latest
|
||||
|
||||
docker run --rm aquasec/trivy:latest image --severity HIGH,CRITICAL --quiet alpine:3.20
|
||||
docker run --rm aquasec/trivy:latest image --severity HIGH,CRITICAL --quiet python:3.12-slim
|
||||
docker run --rm aquasec/trivy:latest image --severity HIGH,CRITICAL --quiet node:22-slim
|
||||
docker run --rm aquasec/trivy:latest image --severity HIGH,CRITICAL --quiet debian:bookworm-slim
|
||||
docker run --rm aquasec/trivy:latest image --severity HIGH,CRITICAL --quiet golang:1.23-alpine
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Positive Findings
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Alpine images are clean** - Good baseline option available
|
||||
2. **Fixes available** for most vulnerabilities
|
||||
3. **No secrets in images** - Confirmed by Trivy scan
|
||||
4. **Reasonable image selection** - Using official images

|
||||
- .env file correctly gitignored
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Container Design**
|
||||
- No privileged mode containers
|
||||
- Read-only mounts where appropriate
|
||||
- Official base images used
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Project Hygiene**
|
||||
- Consistent naming conventions
|
||||
- Clear documentation structure
|
||||
- Wrapper scripts for configuration isolation
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Secret Injection Pattern**
|
||||
- Runtime injection via environment
|
||||
- No secrets baked into images
|
||||
- Pass-through wrapper design

## Conclusion
|
||||
|
||||
KNEL-AIMiddleware is **ready for release with conditions**. The project has solid security fundamentals, particularly in credential management. The primary concerns are:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Immediate:** OpenSSL vulnerability in golang images
|
||||
2. **Short-term:** Container privilege model (running as root)
|
||||
3. **Short-term:** Shell script error handling
|
||||
|
||||
Addressing the critical OpenSSL vulnerability and documenting privileged services will allow for a safe initial release. The remaining findings should be addressed in subsequent releases.
|
||||
|
||||
### Auditor Confidence: HIGH
|
||||
|
||||
All major security domains were reviewed. Read-only access was maintained throughout. No destructive testing was performed.
