Description

Comprehensive security review identified and resolved 9 vulnerabilities across shell scripts, Python code, and web endpoints.

Command Injection (High)

  • scripts/uefi-tools/uuefi-apply.sh, scripts/secure-boot/keys-centralize.sh: Replaced eval "$*" with "$@"
  • scripts/recovery/autonuke.py: Changed subprocess.run() default to shell=False with shlex.split()

Secrets & Credentials (High)

  • web/hardware_database_server.py: Replaced hardcoded Flask SECRET_KEY with os.environ.get('SECRET_KEY', secrets.token_hex(32))

Path Traversal (Critical)

  • web/hardware_database_server.py: Added alphanumeric validation and TOCTOU-resistant path resolution in download endpoint
# Validate input format
if not re.match(r'^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+$', hardware_id):
    return "Invalid hardware ID format", 400

# Resolve symlinks and verify containment
profile_file = profile_file.resolve()
if not str(profile_file).startswith(str(UPLOADS_PATH.resolve())):
    return "Invalid file path", 400

Insecure Temp Files (Medium)

  • scripts/secure-boot/enable-secureboot-kexec.sh: Replaced predictable /tmp/phoenixboot_*.sh with mktemp

Input Validation (Medium)

  • scripts/recovery/nuclear-wipe.sh: Added device path regex validation, extracted to reusable function

Deprecated APIs

  • scripts/validation/detect_bootkit.py: Replaced os.system() with subprocess.run()

  • Breaking change?

  • Impacts security?

  • Includes tests?

How This Was Tested

  • CodeQL security scanning: 0 alerts
  • Shellcheck analysis: No critical errors
  • Python syntax validation: All files valid

Integration Instructions

Production deployments should set SECRET_KEY environment variable for web/hardware_database_server.py. If unset, a random key is generated (sessions invalidated on restart).
