Highest confirmed finding severity

High

2 confirmed security findings require attention.

Installation context

Check the current Skill page

This page summarizes report evidence only. The Skill page provides the canonical install advisory.

Open current Skill page

This report does not block or authorize the manifest or ZIP.

Most static alerts are false positives caused by Markdown fences, example paths, placeholders, and reference links. The review confirms an all-interface bind and identifies unsafe mTLS bypass examples and insufficient CA key protection guidance.

Report position

Limitations

This report does not claim runtime or sandbox execution and does not prove the absence of side effects.

Evidence chain

Follow the evidence from source binding to the install contract. Available evidence supports verification; it is not a safety guarantee.

Capability review items (1)
Medium
Hardcoded IP address
bind_address = "0.0.0.0"
The SPIRE server example binds to 0.0.0.0, exposing the service on every interface unless external controls restrict access.

Risk findings

Confirmed security concerns are separated from items that still need review.

Confirmed security concerns (2)

RISK-001 High
mTLS Bypass Examples Lack Compensating Controls
Examples permit plaintext mesh traffic and bypass Linkerd TLS without requiring authorization, network isolation, monitoring, or a removal deadline.
The examples explicitly use PERMISSIVE, DISABLE, and skip-outbound-ports settings. These settings can allow traffic outside mutual authentication.
RISK-002 High
CA Signing Key Protection Is Underspecified
The template places CA signing material in a standard Kubernetes Secret without guidance for encryption, strict access control, auditing, or external key storage.
The example creates a CA issuer backed by a Secret containing tls.key. Compromise of that key can undermine the mesh trust domain.

Remediation

Suggested fixes recorded by this audit. Applying them is the maintainer’s responsibility.

  1. FIX-001
    High
    Examples permit plaintext traffic or bypass mesh TLS without compensating controls.
    Label every exception as temporary and require authorization, network policy, monitoring, and a removal deadline.
  2. FIX-002
    High
    The CA signing key example uses a standard Kubernetes Secret without protection guidance.
    Recommend an external key manager or encrypted secrets with strict RBAC, audit logging, backup protection, and rotation procedures.
  3. FIX-003
    Medium
    The SPIRE example binds its server to every network interface.
    Use a scoped interface and require network policy or firewall restrictions around the SPIRE server port.

Analysis metadata

Audit model: codex

Analysis state: Complete

Scope is limited to the recorded files, lines, methods, and evidence. No runtime or sandbox execution is claimed.

Verify and export

The manifest and lockfile bind install artifacts to cryptographic hashes. This integrity claim is separate from the security assessment.

Audit attestation: active
