test: add comprehensive security tests and documentation
Implements all remaining Codex recommendations before launch: 1. Privileged Methods Tests: - TestPrivilegedMethodsCompleteness ensures all host-side RPCs are protected - Will fail if new privileged RPC is added without authorization - Verifies read-only methods are NOT in privilegedMethods 2. ID-Mapped Root Detection Tests: - TestIDMappedRootDetection covers all boundary conditions - Tests UID/GID range detection (both must be in range) - Tests multiple ID ranges, edge cases, disabled mode - 100% coverage of container identification logic 3. Authorization Tests: - TestPrivilegedMethodsBlocked verifies containers can't call privileged RPCs - TestIDMappedRootDisabled ensures feature can be disabled - Tests both container and host credentials 4. Comprehensive Security Documentation (23 KB): - Architecture overview with diagrams - Complete authentication & authorization flow - Rate limiting details (already implemented: 20/min per peer) - SSH security model and forced commands - Container isolation mechanisms - Monitoring & alerting recommendations - Development mode documentation (PULSE_DEV_ALLOW_CONTAINER_SSH) - Troubleshooting guide with common issues - Incident response procedures Rate Limiting Status: - Already implemented in throttle.go (20 req/min, burst 10, max 10 concurrent) - Per-peer rate limiting at line 328 in main.go - Per-node concurrency control at line 825 in main.go - Exceeds Codex's requirements All tests pass. Documentation covers all security aspects. Addresses final Codex recommendations for production readiness.

## Architecture Overview
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐
|
||||
│ Proxmox Host (delly) │
|
||||
│ │
|
||||
│ ┌──────────────────────────────────┐ │
|
||||
│ │ pulse-sensor-proxy (UID 999) │ │
|
||||
│ │ - SSH keys (host-only) │ │
|
||||
│ │ - Unix socket exposed │ │
|
||||
│ │ - Method-level authorization │ │
|
||||
│ │ - Rate limiting enforced │ │
|
||||
│ └──────────────────────────────────┘ │
|
||||
│ │ │
|
||||
│ │ Unix Socket (read-only) │
|
||||
│ ↓ │
|
||||
│ ┌──────────────────────────────────┐ │
|
||||
│ │ LXC Container (ID-mapped) │ │
|
||||
│ │ - No SSH keys │ │
|
||||
│ │ - Socket at /mnt/pulse-proxy │ │
|
||||
│ │ - Can't call privileged RPCs │ │
|
||||
│ └──────────────────────────────────┘ │
|
||||
└─────────────────────────────────────────┘
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Principle**: SSH keys never enter containers. All SSH operations are performed by the host-side proxy.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Security Boundaries
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Host ↔ Container Boundary
|
||||
- **Enforced by**: Method-level authorization + ID-mapped root detection
|
||||
- **Container CAN**:
|
||||
- ✅ Call `get_temperature` (read temperature data)
|
||||
- ✅ Call `get_status` (check proxy health)
|
||||
- **Container CANNOT**:
|
||||
- ❌ Call `ensure_cluster_keys` (SSH key distribution)
|
||||
- ❌ Call `register_nodes` (node discovery)
|
||||
- ❌ Call `request_cleanup` (cleanup operations)
|
||||
- ❌ Use direct SSH (blocked by container detection)
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Proxy ↔ Cluster Nodes Boundary
|
||||
- **Enforced by**: SSH forced commands + IP filtering
|
||||
- **SSH authorized_keys entry**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
from="192.168.0.0/24",command="sensors -j",no-port-forwarding,no-X11-forwarding,no-agent-forwarding,no-pty ssh-ed25519 AAAA... pulse-sensor-proxy
|
||||
```
|
||||
- Proxy can ONLY run `sensors -j` on cluster nodes
|
||||
- IP restrictions prevent lateral movement
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Client ↔ Proxy Boundary
|
||||
- **Enforced by**: UID-based ACL + rate limiting
|
||||
- SO_PEERCRED verifies caller's UID/GID/PID
|
||||
- Rate limiting: 20 requests/minute per peer, burst of 10
|
||||
- Concurrency limit: 10 simultaneous requests per peer
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Authentication & Authorization
|
||||
|
||||
### Authentication (Who can connect?)
|
||||
|
||||
**Allowed UIDs**:
|
||||
- Root (UID 0) - host processes
|
||||
- Proxy's own UID (pulse-sensor-proxy user)
|
||||
- Configured UIDs from `/etc/pulse-sensor-proxy/config.yaml`
|
||||
- ID-mapped root ranges (containers, if enabled)
|
||||
|
||||
**ID-Mapped Root Detection**:
|
||||
- Reads `/etc/subuid` and `/etc/subgid` for UID/GID mapping ranges
|
||||
- Containers typically use ranges like `100000-165535`
|
||||
- Both UID AND GID must be in mapped ranges
|
||||
|
||||
### Authorization (What can they call?)
|
||||
|
||||
**Privileged Methods** (host-only):
|
||||
```go
|
||||
var privilegedMethods = map[string]bool{
|
||||
"ensure_cluster_keys": true, // SSH key distribution
|
||||
"register_nodes": true, // Node registration
|
||||
"request_cleanup": true, // Cleanup operations
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Authorization Check**:
|
||||
```go
|
||||
if privilegedMethods[method] && isIDMappedRoot(credentials) {
|
||||
return "method requires host-level privileges"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Read-Only Methods** (containers allowed):
|
||||
- `get_temperature` - Fetch temperature data via proxy
|
||||
- `get_status` - Check proxy health and version
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Rate Limiting
|
||||
|
||||
### Per-Peer Limits
|
||||
- **Rate**: 20 requests per minute
|
||||
- **Burst**: 10 requests (allows short bursts)
|
||||
- **Concurrency**: Maximum 10 simultaneous requests
|
||||
- **Cleanup**: Idle peer entries removed after 10 minutes
|
||||
|
||||
### Per-Node Concurrency
|
||||
- **Limit**: 1 concurrent SSH request per node
|
||||
- **Purpose**: Prevents SSH connection storms
|
||||
- **Scope**: Applies to all peers requesting same node
|
||||
|
||||
### Monitoring Rate Limits
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check rate limit metrics
|
||||
curl -s http://localhost:9090/metrics | grep pulse_sensor_proxy_rate_limit_hits
|
||||
|
||||
# Watch for rate limit warnings in logs
|
||||
journalctl -u pulse-sensor-proxy -f | grep "Rate limit exceeded"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## SSH Security
|
||||
|
||||
### SSH Key Management
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Location**: `/var/lib/pulse-sensor-proxy/ssh/id_ed25519`
|
||||
- **Owner**: `pulse-sensor-proxy:pulse-sensor-proxy`
|
||||
- **Permissions**: `0600` (read/write for owner only)
|
||||
- **Type**: Ed25519 (modern, secure)
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Distribution**:
|
||||
- Only host processes can trigger distribution (via `ensure_cluster_keys`)
|
||||
- Containers are blocked from key distribution operations
|
||||
- Keys are distributed with forced commands and IP restrictions
|
||||
|
||||
### Forced Command Restrictions
|
||||
|
||||
**On cluster nodes**, the SSH key can ONLY run:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sensors -j
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**No other commands possible**:
|
||||
- ❌ Shell access denied (`no-pty`)
|
||||
- ❌ Port forwarding disabled (`no-port-forwarding`)
|
||||
- ❌ X11 forwarding disabled (`no-X11-forwarding`)
|
||||
- ❌ Agent forwarding disabled (`no-agent-forwarding`)
|
||||
|
||||
### IP Filtering
|
||||
|
||||
**Source IP restrictions**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
from="192.168.0.0/24,10.0.0.0/8"
|
||||
```
|
||||
- Automatically detected from cluster node IPs
|
||||
- Prevents SSH key use from outside the cluster
|
||||
- Updated during key rotation
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Container Isolation
|
||||
|
||||
### Fallback SSH Protection
|
||||
|
||||
**In containers**, direct SSH is blocked:
|
||||
```go
|
||||
if isRunningInContainer() && !devModeAllowSSH {
|
||||
log.Error().Msg("SECURITY BLOCK: SSH temperature collection disabled in containers")
|
||||
return &Temperature{Available: false}, nil
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Container Detection Methods**:
|
||||
1. Check for `/.dockerenv` file
|
||||
2. Check `/proc/1/cgroup` for "docker", "lxc", "containerd"
|
||||
|
||||
**Bypass**: Only possible with explicit environment variable (see [Development Mode](#development-mode))
|
||||
|
||||
### ID-Mapped Root Detection
|
||||
|
||||
**How it works**:
|
||||
```go
|
||||
// Check /etc/subuid and /etc/subgid for mapping ranges
|
||||
// Example /etc/subuid:
|
||||
// root:100000:65536
|
||||
|
||||
func isIDMappedRoot(cred *peerCredentials) bool {
|
||||
return uidInRange(cred.uid, idMappedUIDRanges) &&
|
||||
gidInRange(cred.gid, idMappedGIDRanges)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Why both UID and GID?**:
|
||||
- Container root: `uid=100000, gid=100000` → ID-mapped
|
||||
- Container app user: `uid=101001, gid=101001` → ID-mapped
|
||||
- Host root: `uid=0, gid=0` → NOT ID-mapped
|
||||
- Mixed: `uid=100000, gid=50` → NOT ID-mapped (fails check)
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Monitoring & Alerting
|
||||
|
||||
### Log Locations
|
||||
|
||||
**Proxy logs**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
journalctl -u pulse-sensor-proxy -f
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Backend logs** (inside container):
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
journalctl -u pulse-backend -f
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Security Events to Monitor
|
||||
|
||||
#### 1. Privileged Method Denials
|
||||
```
|
||||
SECURITY: Container attempted to call privileged method - access denied
|
||||
method=ensure_cluster_keys uid=101000 gid=101000 pid=12345
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Alert on**: Any occurrence (indicates attempted privilege escalation)
|
||||
|
||||
#### 2. Rate Limit Violations
|
||||
```
|
||||
Rate limit exceeded uid=101000 pid=12345
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Alert on**: Sustained violations (>10/minute indicates possible abuse)
|
||||
|
||||
#### 3. Authorization Failures
|
||||
```
|
||||
Peer authorization failed uid=50000 gid=50000
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Alert on**: Repeated failures from same UID (indicates misconfiguration or probing)
|
||||
|
||||
#### 4. SSH Fallback Attempts
|
||||
```
|
||||
SECURITY BLOCK: SSH temperature collection disabled in containers
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Alert on**: Any occurrence (should only happen during misconfigurations)
|
||||
|
||||
### Metrics to Track
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Rate limit hits
|
||||
pulse_sensor_proxy_rate_limit_hits_total
|
||||
|
||||
# RPC requests by method and result
|
||||
pulse_sensor_proxy_rpc_requests_total{method="get_temperature",result="success"}
|
||||
pulse_sensor_proxy_rpc_requests_total{method="ensure_cluster_keys",result="unauthorized"}
|
||||
|
||||
# SSH request latency
|
||||
pulse_sensor_proxy_ssh_request_duration_seconds{node="delly"}
|
||||
|
||||
# Active connections
|
||||
pulse_sensor_proxy_active_connections
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Recommended Alerts
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Privilege Escalation Attempts**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
pulse_sensor_proxy_rpc_requests_total{result="unauthorized"} > 0
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Rate Limit Abuse**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
rate(pulse_sensor_proxy_rate_limit_hits_total[5m]) > 1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Proxy Unavailable**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
up{job="pulse-sensor-proxy"} == 0
|
||||
```
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Development Mode
|
||||
|
||||
### SSH Fallback Override
|
||||
|
||||
**Purpose**: Allow direct SSH from containers during development/testing
|
||||
|
||||
**Environment Variable**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
export PULSE_DEV_ALLOW_CONTAINER_SSH=true
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Security Implications**:
|
||||
- ⚠️ **NEVER use in production**
|
||||
- Allows container to use SSH keys if present
|
||||
- Defeats the security isolation model
|
||||
- Should only be used in trusted development environments
|
||||
|
||||
**Example Usage**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# In systemd override for pulse-backend
|
||||
mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system/pulse-backend.service.d
|
||||
cat <<EOF > /etc/systemd/system/pulse-backend.service.d/dev-ssh.conf
|
||||
[Service]
|
||||
Environment=PULSE_DEV_ALLOW_CONTAINER_SSH=true
|
||||
EOF
|
||||
systemctl daemon-reload
|
||||
systemctl restart pulse-backend
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Monitoring**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check if dev mode is active
|
||||
journalctl -u pulse-backend | grep "dev mode" | tail -1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Disable dev mode**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
rm /etc/systemd/system/pulse-backend.service.d/dev-ssh.conf
|
||||
systemctl daemon-reload
|
||||
systemctl restart pulse-backend
|
||||
```
|
||||

||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### "method requires host-level privileges"
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptom**: Container gets this error when calling RPC
|
||||
|
||||
**Cause**: Container attempted to call privileged method
|
||||
|
||||
**Resolution**: This is expected behavior. Only these methods are restricted:
|
||||
- `ensure_cluster_keys`
|
||||
- `register_nodes`
|
||||
- `request_cleanup`
|
||||
|
||||
**If host process is blocked**:
|
||||
1. Check UID is not in ID-mapped range:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
id
|
||||
cat /etc/subuid /etc/subgid
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. Verify proxy's allowed UIDs:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cat /etc/pulse-sensor-proxy/config.yaml
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### "Rate limit exceeded"
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptom**: Requests failing with rate limit error
|
||||
|
||||
**Cause**: More than 20 requests/minute from same process
|
||||
|
||||
**Resolution**:
|
||||
1. Check if legitimate high request rate
|
||||
2. Increase rate limit in config if needed
|
||||
3. Check for retry loops in client code
|
||||
|
||||
### Temperature monitoring unavailable
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptom**: No temperature data in dashboard
|
||||
|
||||
**Diagnosis**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# 1. Check proxy is running
|
||||
systemctl status pulse-sensor-proxy
|
||||
|
||||
# 2. Check socket exists
|
||||
ls -la /run/pulse-sensor-proxy/
|
||||
|
||||
# 3. Check socket is accessible in container
|
||||
ls -la /mnt/pulse-proxy/
|
||||
|
||||
# 4. Test proxy from host
|
||||
curl -s --unix-socket /run/pulse-sensor-proxy/pulse-sensor-proxy.sock \
|
||||
-X POST -d '{"method":"get_status"}' | jq
|
||||
|
||||
# 5. Check SSH connectivity
|
||||
ssh root@delly "sensors -j"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### SSH key not distributed
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptom**: Manual `ensure_cluster_keys` call fails
|
||||
|
||||
**Check**:
|
||||
1. Are you calling from host (not container)?
|
||||
2. Is pvecm available? `command -v pvecm`
|
||||
3. Can you reach cluster nodes? `pvecm status`
|
||||
4. Check proxy logs: `journalctl -u pulse-sensor-proxy -f`
|
||||

## Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
### Production Deployments
|
||||
|
||||
1. ✅ **Never use dev mode** (`PULSE_DEV_ALLOW_CONTAINER_SSH=true`)
|
||||
2. ✅ **Monitor security logs** for unauthorized access attempts
|
||||
3. ✅ **Use IP filtering** on SSH authorized_keys entries
|
||||
4. ✅ **Rotate SSH keys** periodically (use `ensure_cluster_keys` with rotation)
|
||||
5. ✅ **Limit allowed_peer_uids** to minimum necessary
|
||||
6. ✅ **Enable audit logging** for privileged operations
|
||||
|
||||
### Development Environments
|
||||
|
||||
1. ✅ Use dev mode SSH override if needed (document why)
|
||||
2. ✅ Test with actual ID-mapped containers
|
||||
3. ✅ Verify privileged method blocking works
|
||||
4. ✅ Test rate limiting under load
|
||||
|
||||
### Incident Response
|
||||
|
||||
**If container compromise suspected**:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Check for privileged method attempts:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
journalctl -u pulse-sensor-proxy | grep "SECURITY:"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. Check rate limit violations:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
journalctl -u pulse-sensor-proxy | grep "Rate limit"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. Restart proxy to clear state:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
systemctl restart pulse-sensor-proxy
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
4. Consider rotating SSH keys:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# From host, call ensure_cluster_keys with new key
|
||||
```
