No affected components available
None of the response paths in internal/web/ or internal/api/ set the standard browser-security headers. grep for Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy returns zero matches across the codebase.
Impact
The admin UI signs CA certificates, mints API keys (returned inline once per page), displays TOTP QR codes, and exposes operator-management forms. Missing X-Frame-Options: DENY / frame-ancestors 'none' is a real clickjacking lever against an admin browsing /ui/operators/* or /ui/cas/*. Missing X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff allows MIME confusion on any user-supplied content surface. Missing HSTS on TLS deployments leaves a downgrade window.
Affected
All released versions up to v0.3.0.
Suggested fix
A single response-header middleware mounted at the chi router root in both /ui/* and /api/* paths:
func securityHeadersMiddleware(next http.Handler) http.Handler {
return http.HandlerFunc(func(rw http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
h := rw.Header()
h.Set("Content-Security-Policy",
"default-src 'self'; frame-ancestors 'none'; base-uri 'none'; form-action 'self'")
h.Set("X-Content-Type-Options", "nosniff")
h.Set("Referrer-Policy", "same-origin")
h.Set("X-Frame-Options", "DENY") // belt-and-braces; CSP frame-ancestors is the modern path
if r.TLS != nil {
h.Set("Strict-Transport-Security", "max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains")
}
next.ServeHTTP(rw, r)
})
}
The inline <script> in layout.html for CSRF wiring (added in the CSRF advisory) will need either a nonce, a hash in CSP, or external-file extraction. Easiest path: a nonce per request (crypto/rand, base64) injected into both the CSP header and the script's nonce="" attribute.
The vulnerability can be exploited over the network without needing physical access. It is easy for an attacker to exploit this vulnerability. An attacker does not need any special privileges or access rights.
Exploitation attempts have been detected. Elevated vigilance and prompt remediation are advised.
The exploit probability is very low. The vulnerability is unlikely to be exploited in the next 30 days.
We did not find any exploit available. Neither in GitHub repositories nor in the Exploit-Database.
