Orphelix implements enterprise-grade security with multi-layered protection:
- β 100% API Endpoint Coverage (77/77 endpoints secured)
- β AES-256-GCM Encryption for sensitive data at rest
- β SQL Injection Immune (100% prepared statements)
- β Rate Limiting (9 configurations for different endpoints)
- β Input Validation (Zod schemas, DNS-1123 compliance)
- β Security Headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options)
- β 97% Security Test Coverage (229/236 tests passing)
Security Status: β Production Ready Known Vulnerabilities: 0 Risk Level: π’ LOW
For detailed security implementation, see .ai-docs/SECURITY_REPORT.md
Purpose: User authentication to access real cluster data
Permissions:
read:user- Basic profile information
Setup:
GITHUB_ID=your_oauth_app_id
GITHUB_SECRET=your_oauth_app_secretWithout OAuth:
- β Demo mode works (no authentication needed)
- β Cannot access production mode
Purpose: Edit manifests and create pull requests
Permissions:
- Contents: Read & Write
- Pull Requests: Read & Write
- Metadata: Read
Setup:
GITHUB_APP_ID=your_app_id
GITHUB_APP_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id
GITHUB_APP_CLIENT_SECRET=your_secret
GITHUB_APP_PRIVATE_KEY="-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----..."Without GitHub App:
- β All monitoring features work
- β Cannot edit YAML manifests
| Use Case | GitHub OAuth | GitHub App |
|---|---|---|
| Demo mode | β | β |
| View real cluster | β | β |
| GitOps workflow | β | β |

Algorithm: AES-256-GCM (Authenticated Encryption) Key Derivation: scrypt Usage: API keys stored encrypted in SQLite database
Setup:
# Generate encryption key
openssl rand -base64 32
# Add to .env.local
ENCRYPTION_KEY=your_generated_key_hereSQLite Database (orphelix.db):
- Application settings
- GitHub repository preferences
- API keys (encrypted with AES-256-GCM)
- UI state (pinned items, aliases)
HTTP-only Cookies:
- GitHub OAuth session (30 days)
- GitHub App token (8 hours, auto-refresh)
- β Kubernetes credentials (uses kubeconfig)
- β Cluster data (fetched on-demand)
- β Pod logs (streamed, not persisted)
- β Secrets content (displayed but not saved)
- All cluster access via local kubeconfig
- No cloud dependencies
- Application runs entirely on your machine
- Kubernetes credentials never leave your system

Required Environment Variables:
# Encryption
ENCRYPTION_KEY=<base64-key>
# GitHub OAuth
GITHUB_ID=<oauth-app-id>

# Node environment
NODE_ENV=productionSecurity Checklist:
- Use HTTPS in production (Strict-Transport-Security enabled)
- Set strong
ENCRYPTION_KEY(32+ random bytes) - Verify security headers are active
- Monitor rate limit violations
- Regular dependency updates (
npm audit) - Database file permissions: 0600
- Regular backups of
orphelix.db
