Buyer / operator problem

Wardnet must never expose unauthenticated management writes on a non-loopback listener. Loopback-only development may remain credential-free, but production-facing binds require a write-capable administrator credential before readiness.

What changed

  • fail closed before readiness when BIND_ADDR is non-loopback and there is no write-capable admin credential
  • normalize blank credential inputs and reject ambiguous ADMIN_TOKENS bootstrap entries
  • compare shared and RBAC token values in constant time
  • return 401 for unauthenticated requests and 403 for readonly principals attempting writes
  • surface loopback-without-write-auth as auth_mode=development in /healthz
  • add property/fuzz/startup/smoke coverage for malformed, duplicate, blank and role-bound credentials
  • document the production authentication boundary and retain redistributable NIST SSDF evidence

Current integration state

The branch is synchronized with protected main@cc15cc2c34daf8c104eeb83d52a6a66f3cd6e128, including the externally provisioned Kubernetes administrator-Secret lifecycle that is already protected-main truth. The previous stale production-guide text was not allowed to overwrite that hardening; the branch adds the runtime fail-closed credential requirement to the protected-main deployment guidance.

Exact current head is e6f05d77858e91c176cff25c4b11e790bc5dcdd1; GitHub reports the PR mergeable on main. Exact-head repository workflows are terminal GREEN: CI 33505620035, Fuzz 33505619939, Security Scan 33505620205, and SAST Semgrep 33505620030. No predecessor checks/reviews transfer.

A fresh CodeRabbit current-head review has been requested because automatic review had paused during earlier branch churn. Central exact-head coverage/review evidence remains non-passing where runner acquisition is still queued; that control-plane defect is owned through .github#712. The structurally impossible solo-maintainer generic approval count is owned through .github#772. Neither condition is a reason to weaken Wardnet source or deterministic gates.

Fixes #78.

Merge only on this unchanged exact head after then-live central required evidence, review/thread state, live-base compatibility, and repaired governance are clean. No self-approval, model-as-human approval, force push, routine bypass, or predecessor-evidence reuse.

관리 자격 증명 처리를 엄격하게 변경했습니다. 비루프백 바인딩은 쓰기 권한 자격 증명 없이 시작하지 않습니다. 관리 쓰기는 401과 403을 구분합니다. 관련 상태, 문서, 통합 테스트, 속성 테스트와 퍼즈 테스트를 갱신했습니다.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to efca6

The executable now blocks public startup without write-capable credentials, but applications embedding the exported library can still expose unauthenticated management writes on a non-loopback listener. That security boundary should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge; smaller follow-ups remain for readonly error wording, regression-test linkage, and redistributable security references.

🟡 KEV authentication errors become outages

When only readonly principals exist, the capability precheck returns 503 before reject_management_write. Missing and readonly credentials lose their required 401 and 403 responses.

Prompt for agents
In src/lib.rs, import_kev_feed checks has_write_admin_credential before reject_management_write. On a loopback deployment configured with only readonly ADMIN_TOKENS principals, this masks request authentication and authorization: missing credentials and valid readonly credentials both receive 503 rather than 401 and 403. Reorder or restructure the guards so request-level authentication and authorization remain distinct while preserving the endpoint's existing behavior when no write-capable credential is configured at all.

📝 Info: Legacy parser remains permissive

run_from_env uses strict parsing, while exported parse_admin_tokens retains permissive legacy semantics. Existing library callers therefore keep their prior behavior.
