 **Architecture Note:** The duplicate-header check was originally in `MtlsMiddleware`, which was dead code (never wired into the pipeline). It has been extracted into `SecurityHeadersMiddleware`, which IS wired into the pipeline and runs on every request. Client certificate authentication is handled at the TLS handshake level by rustls via `CrlAwareVerifier` — no application-layer certificate middleware is needed. See `src/auth/mtls.rs` for the ADR documenting this decision.
 ---
 ## Architecture Decision Record: rustls as Authoritative Client-Auth Gate
 **Decision:** Client certificate authentication is enforced at the TLS handshake level by rustls via `CrlAwareVerifier`, NOT by application-layer middleware.
 **Context:** The original `MtlsMiddleware` was never wired into the Actix-web pipeline. It contained both a duplicate-header check (VULN-006) and a `validate_client_certificate()` stub that returned `Ok(())` unconditionally. Meanwhile, the actual client certificate verification was always performed by rustls at the TLS handshake level through `CrlAwareVerifier`, which wraps `WebPkiClientVerifier`.
 **Rationale:**
 - rustls provides battle-tested X.509 verification at the TLS handshake level
 - Enforcing auth at the TLS layer eliminates bypass vulnerabilities (middleware ordering bugs, route-specific skips)
 - CRL revocation checking is integrated into the same handshake path via `CrlAwareVerifier`
 - Application-layer certificate validation is redundant when the TLS layer already rejects untrusted connections
 **Consequences:**
 - `MtlsMiddleware` (Transform/Service) and `validate_client_certificate()` have been removed as dead code
 - `build_rustls_config()` is now a free function (no longer a method on `MtlsMiddleware`)
 - `SecurityHeadersMiddleware` handles VULN-006 (duplicate critical header rejection) as a dedicated, wired middleware
 - `ClientCertInfo` struct is preserved for potential future use in extracting certificate details from TLS sessions

 ### 🔴 CRITICAL: Committed Private Key Material (Issue #12)
 **Description:**  
 Private key files (`*.key`, `*.key.pem`) were committed to version control in:
 - `configs/certs/ca.key.pem` — CA private key
 - `configs/certs/server.key.pem` — Server private key
 - `configs/certs/client001.key.pem` — Client private key
 - `tests/e2e/certs/client.key` — E2E test client private key
 Committed private keys are a critical security risk: anyone with repository access
 (even read-only) can impersonate the server or clients, decrypt captured TLS traffic,
 or forge certificates signed by the CA.
 **Status:** ✅ RESOLVED
 **Remediation Applied:**
 1. Removed all private key files from git tracking (`git rm --cached`)
 2. Added `*.key`, `*.key.pem`, `configs/certs/`, and `tests/e2e/certs/*.key` to `.gitignore`
 3. Created `scripts/generate-dev-certs.sh` to generate test certificates at runtime
 4. Updated e2e tests to generate certificates on demand instead of loading from disk
 5. Added `gitleaks` secret scanning to CI pipeline
 6. Git history will be purged with `git filter-repo` after PR merge
 **Key Rotation:**  
 These keys were used for development/testing only. No production key rotation is needed.
 All committed keys should be considered compromised and must not be used in any
 production environment.

 ## Architecture Decision Record: rustls as Authoritative Client-Auth Gate
 **Date:** 2026-06-06  
 **Status:** Accepted  
 **Context:** Issue #13
 ### Decision
 Client certificate authentication is enforced at the TLS handshake level by rustls via `CrlAwareVerifier`, NOT by application-layer middleware.
 ### Context
 The original `MtlsMiddleware` was never wired into the Actix-web pipeline (dead code). It contained:
 1. A duplicate-header check (VULN-006) that never ran
 2. A `validate_client_certificate()` stub that returned `Ok(())` unconditionally
 Meanwhile, actual client certificate verification was always performed by rustls at the TLS handshake level through `CrlAwareVerifier` (which wraps `WebPkiClientVerifier`), with CRL revocation checking integrated into the same path.
 ### Changes Made
 1. **Removed dead code:** `MtlsMiddleware`, `MtlsMiddlewareService`, `validate_client_certificate()`, and the Transform/Service impls
 2. **Extracted VULN-006:** `has_duplicate_critical_headers()` moved to new `SecurityHeadersMiddleware` (wired into pipeline)
 3. **Converted `build_rustls_config()`** from method on `MtlsMiddleware` to free function
 4. **Preserved:** `CrlAwareVerifier`, `MtlsConfig`, `MtlsError`, `ClientCertInfo`, `build_rustls_config()`, and all CRL infrastructure
 ### Rationale
 - rustls provides battle-tested X.509 verification at the TLS handshake level
 - Enforcing auth at the TLS layer eliminates bypass vulnerabilities (middleware ordering bugs, route-specific skips)
 - CRL revocation checking is integrated into the same handshake path
 - Application-layer certificate validation is redundant when TLS already rejects untrusted connections

 # Development Certificates
 **⚠️ Private keys are NOT committed to version control.**
 This directory is used for local development certificates only. Private key
 files (`*.key`, `*.key.pem`) are excluded from git via `.gitignore`.
 ## Generating Development Certificates
 Run the generation script from the repository root:
 ```bash
 ./scripts/generate-dev-certs.sh
 ```
 This creates:
 - `ca.pem` / `ca.key.pem` — Internal CA certificate and key
 - `server.pem` / `server.key.pem` — Server certificate and key
 - `client001.pem` / `client001.key.pem` — Client certificate and key
 - `tests/e2e/certs/` — E2E test certificates
 ## Production Deployments
 Production deployments should use certificates issued by the organisation's
 internal CA. The `install.sh` script and systemd unit handle production
 certificate paths at `/etc/linux_patch_api/certs/`.
 ## Security
 - **Never commit private keys** (`*.key`, `*.key.pem`) to version control
 - Private keys must have `0600` permissions in production
 - The `gitleaks` CI check scans for accidentally committed secrets
 - See `SECURITY_FINDINGS_REPORT.md` and `SECURITY.md` for full details

 //! # Architecture Decision Record: rustls as Authoritative Client-Auth Gate
 //!
 //! Client certificate authentication is enforced at the TLS handshake level by
 //! rustls via `CrlAwareVerifier` (which wraps `WebPkiClientVerifier`). This means:
 //!
 //! - **rustls + CrlAwareVerifier IS the authoritative client-auth gate.**
 //! - No application-layer certificate validation middleware is needed because
 //!   rustls rejects connections that fail client-cert verification before any
 //!   HTTP request is processed.
 //! - `build_rustls_config()` configures the TLS listener to require client
 //!   certificates (`with_client_cert_verifier`), making mTLS enforcement
 //!   unavoidable at the transport layer.
 //! - CRL revocation checking is integrated into the same handshake path via
 //!   `CrlAwareVerifier`, so revoked certificates are also rejected before any
 //!   HTTP handler runs.
 //!
 //! This design was chosen because rustls provides battle-tested X.509
 //! verification, and enforcing auth at the TLS layer eliminates an entire
 //! class of bypass vulnerabilities that application-layer checks are
 //! susceptible to (e.g., middleware ordering bugs, route-specific skips).

 # E2E Test Certificates
 **⚠️ Private keys are NOT committed to version control.**
 This directory holds mTLS certificates used by the Python E2E test suite.
 The `client.key` private key is excluded from git via `.gitignore`.
 ## Generating Test Certificates
 Certificates are generated automatically by the E2E test runner, or manually:
 ```bash
 ./scripts/generate-dev-certs.sh
 ```
 This script creates `ca.crt`, `client.crt`, and `client.key` in this directory.
 ## Files
 | File | Committed | Description |
 |------|-----------|-------------|
 | `ca.crt` | ✅ Yes | CA certificate (public) |
 | `client.crt` | ✅ Yes | Client certificate (public) |
 | `client.key` | ❌ No | Client private key (gitignored) |

git-echo	fe9bdce3c1	feat(crl): add CRL consumption and custom verifier for mTLS revocation enforcement Implements agent-side CRL consumption for mTLS certificate revocation checking, as specified in issue #20. Changes: - NEW: src/auth/crl.rs - CRL loading, parsing, signature verification, in-memory revoked serial index (HashSet), 24h background refresh task - MODIFY: src/auth/mtls.rs - CrlAwareVerifier wrapping WebPkiClientVerifier with post-chain CRL serial lookup; fails closed on invalid signature, degrades gracefully when CRL is missing - MODIFY: src/auth/mod.rs - Register crl module, re-export CrlState/CrlStatus - MODIFY: src/config/loader.rs - Add crl_path field to TlsConfig - MODIFY: src/main.rs - Load CRL on startup, spawn refresh task, wire SharedCrlState into server and health endpoint - MODIFY: src/api/handlers/system.rs - Add crl_status and crl_age_seconds to health check response - MODIFY: Cargo.toml - Add arc-swap, base64 deps; enable x509-parser verify feature for CRL signature verification Design decisions: - ArcSwap for lock-free atomic CRL state swaps on the hot path - O(1) serial lookup via HashSet<String> of hex-encoded serials - Stale CRL = continue serving + warn + health reports degraded - Invalid CRL signature = refuse to start (fail-closed) - Missing CRL = fall back to WebPKI-only (backward compatible) Companion to PR #26 in linux-patch-manager (manager-side CRL generation) Refs: #20	2026-06-05 13:42:35 -05:00
