# Charles TODO - TSYS FetchApply Security Improvements
|
|
|
|
**Priority Order:** High → Medium → Low
|
|
**Target:** Address security vulnerabilities and operational improvements
|
|
|
|
## 🚨 HIGH PRIORITY (Security Critical)
|
|
|
|
### 1. Replace Insecure Deployment Method
|
|
**Current Issue:** `curl https://dl.knownelement.com/KNEL/FetchApply/SetupNewSystem.sh | bash`
|
|
**Action Required:**
|
|
- Create signed packages (`.deb`/`.rpm`) for distribution
|
|
- Implement GPG signature verification for scripts
|
|
- Consider using configuration management tools (Ansible, Puppet, Salt)
|
|
- Add cryptographic checksums for all downloadable components
|
|
|
|
**Files to modify:**
|
|
- `README.md` (line 19) - update deployment instructions
|
|
- `ProjectCode/SetupNewSystem.sh` - add integrity checks
|
|
|
|
### 2. Enforce HTTPS for All Downloads
|
|
**Current Issue:** HTTP URLs in Dell OMSA and some repository setups
|
|
**Action Required:**
|
|
- Replace HTTP URLs with HTTPS equivalents in:
|
|
- `ProjectCode/Dell/Server/omsa.sh` (lines 19-28)
|
|
- `ProjectCode/legacy/prox7.sh` (line 3)
|
|
- Verify SSL certificate validation is enabled
|
|
- Add fallback mechanisms for certificate failures
|
|
|
|
### 3. Implement Secrets Management
|
|
**Current Issue:** SSH keys committed to repository, no secrets rotation
|
|
**Action Required:**
|
|
- Deploy Bitwarden CLI or HashiCorp Vault integration
|
|
- Remove SSH public keys from repository
|
|
- Create secure key distribution mechanism
|
|
- Implement key rotation procedures
|
|
- Add environment variable support for sensitive data
|
|
|
|
**Files to secure:**
|
|
- `ProjectCode/ConfigFiles/SSH/AuthorizedKeys/` (entire directory)
|
|
- Hard-coded hostnames in various scripts
|
|
|
|
## 🔶 MEDIUM PRIORITY (Operational Security)
|
|
|
|
### 4. Add Script Integrity Verification
|
|
**Action Required:**
|
|
- Generate SHA256 checksums for all scripts
|
|
- Create checksum verification function in Framework-Includes
|
|
- Add signature verification for external downloads
|
|
- Implement rollback capability on verification failure
|
|
|
|
### 5. Enhanced Error Recovery
|
|
**Action Required:**
|
|
- Add state tracking for partial deployments
|
|
- Implement resume functionality for interrupted installations
|
|
- Create system restoration points before major changes
|
|
- Add dependency checking before module execution
|
|
|
|
### 6. Security Testing Framework
|
|
**Action Required:**
|
|
- Create integration tests for security configurations
|
|
- Add compliance validation (CIS benchmarks, STIG)
|
|
- Implement automated security scanning post-deployment
|
|
- Create test environments for validation
|
|
|
|
### 7. Configuration Validation
|
|
**Action Required:**
|
|
- Add pre-flight checks for system compatibility
|
|
- Validate network connectivity to required services
|
|
- Check for conflicting software before installation
|
|
- Verify sufficient disk space and system resources
|
|
|
|
## 🔹 LOW PRIORITY (Quality Improvements)
|
|
|
|
### 8. Documentation Enhancement
|
|
**Action Required:**
|
|
- Create detailed security architecture documentation
|
|
- Add troubleshooting guides for common issues
|
|
- Document security implications of each module
|
|
- Create deployment runbooks for different environments
|
|
|
|
### 9. Monitoring and Alerting
|
|
**Action Required:**
|
|
- Add deployment success/failure reporting
|
|
- Implement centralized logging for all installations
|
|
- Create dashboards for deployment status
|
|
- Add alerting for security configuration drift
|
|
|
|
### 10. User Experience Improvements
|
|
**Action Required:**
|
|
- Create web-based deployment interface
|
|
- Add progress indicators for long-running operations
|
|
- Implement dry-run mode for testing configurations
|
|
- Add interactive configuration selection
|
|
|
|
## Implementation Timeline
|
|
|
|
**Week 1:** Items 1-2 (Critical security fixes)
|
|
**Week 2:** Item 3 (Secrets management)
|
|
**Week 3-4:** Items 4-5 (Operational improvements)
|
|
**Month 2:** Items 6-10 (Quality and monitoring)
|
|
|
|
