Fixes #5232
Summary

This PR implements Phase 1 of the Zero-Trust Issue Submission system for BLT.

The goal of Phase 1 is to enable end-to-end encrypted vulnerability reporting while guaranteeing that no proof-of-concept (PoC) or sensitive payload data is ever stored in the database or filesystem at rest.

This PR delivers a working zero-trust pipeline, reusing the existing Issue model and BLT flows, while enforcing strict data-minimization and ephemeral handling.

🎯 Goals Achieved (Phase 1)

✔ End-to-end zero-trust submission flow

✔ No plaintext PoC persistence (DB or disk)

✔ Reuses existing Issue model and reward lifecycle

✔ Encrypted delivery directly to organization contact

✔ Minimal metadata stored for auditability

🧩 Key Changes

  1. Issue Model Extensions (Metadata-Only)

Extended Issue with non-sensitive, metadata-only fields:

  • is_zero_trust

  • artifact_sha256

  • encryption_method

  • delivery_method

  • delivery_status

  • delivered_at

⚠️ No PoC, exploit steps, screenshots, or payloads are stored.

  1. Organization Encryption Configuration

Added OrgEncryptionConfig (1:1 with Organization) to define secure delivery:

  • contact_email

  • preferred_method

  • age

  • openpgp

  • sym_7z

Public-key metadata:

  • age_recipient

  • pgp_fingerprint

  • Optional pgp_key_text

This ensures encryption preferences are org-controlled and auditable.

  1. Zero-Trust Pipeline Helper

Introduced build_and_deliver_zero_trust_issue(...) which:

  • Writes uploaded files to a temporary, isolated directory

  • Builds a tar.gz payload with minimal metadata.json

Encrypts using org preference:

  • age → .age

  • openpgp → .asc

  • Fallback 7z → .7z + random password (OOB)

  • Computes and stores SHA-256 hash only

  • Sends encrypted artifact via email

  • Updates Issue delivery metadata

  • Securely deletes all temporary files

  • After execution, no plaintext remains on disk.

  1. Zero-Trust Submission API

Added:

  • POST /api/zero-trust/issues/

Accepts:

domain_id

  • url

  • summary (high-level only)

  • files[] (multipart)

Creates an Issue with:

  • is_zero_trust = True

  • is_hidden = True

Behavior:

  • Executes encrypted delivery synchronously

Returns:

  • issue_id

  • artifact_sha256

  • delivery_status

  1. Admin Safety Defaults
  • Registered OrgEncryptionConfig in admin

  • Zero-trust Issue fields are read-only

  • Prevents accidental exposure or mutation of sensitive state

🔐 Zero-Trust Guarantees

1)What is stored

  • High-level summary

  • Metadata

  • Artifact hash

2)What is never stored

  • PoC files

  • Exploit payloads

  • Screenshots

  • Reproduction steps

  • Failure-safe

  • Encryption or delivery failure leaves no plaintext behind

  • Audit-friendly

  • Hashes and delivery status preserved for integrity checks

🧪 Testing Status

  • Added two new test files covering the zero-trust submission flow

  • Additional tests will be added in subsequent phases

✅ Phase Status

Phase 1: Implemented and functionally complete
Hardening and formal verification to follow before Phase 2 rollout.

Walkthrough

Adds a zero-trust vulnerability reporting workflow: API endpoint to submit encrypted reports, a synchronous pipeline to package/encrypt/deliver artifacts, org-level encryption configuration, Issue model fields to track artifacts, admin UI updates, settings for binaries and temp dirs, and comprehensive tests and migration.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Configuration & Environment
blt/settings.py
Added throttle rate zero_trust_issues = 10/hour; introduced REPORT_TMP_DIR, AGE_BINARY, GPG_BINARY, SEVENZ_BINARY with env overrides.
URL Routing
blt/urls.py
Imported ZeroTrustIssueCreateView and registered path("api/zero-trust/issues/", ZeroTrustIssueCreateView.as_view(), name="zero_trust_issue_create").

Pipeline Implementation
website/zero_trust_pipeline.py
New public build_and_deliver_zero_trust_issue(issue, uploaded_files) plus private helpers: file validation/save, tar.gz packaging with metadata, encryption backends (age, OpenPGP, sym_7z), SHA-256 computation, email delivery, out-of-band password delivery for sym_7z, secure cleanup, error handling and status updates.
Data Models & Migration
website/models.py, website/migrations/0264_issue_artifact_sha256_issue_delivered_at_and_more.py
Added OrgEncryptionConfig model (organization OneToOne, contact_email, preferred_method, public key fields, timestamps); extended Issue with is_zero_trust, artifact_sha256, encryption_method, delivery_method, delivery_status, delivered_at; added validate_sha256_if_present validator.

Pull request overview

This PR implements Phase 1 of a Zero-Trust vulnerability reporting system for BLT, enabling end-to-end encrypted vulnerability submissions where sensitive proof-of-concept data is never stored on disk or in the database. The implementation adds encrypted artifact delivery directly to organization security contacts while maintaining minimal metadata for auditability.

Key Changes:

  • Added zero-trust pipeline for ephemeral file handling, encryption, and secure delivery via email
  • Extended Issue model with metadata-only fields (hash, encryption method, delivery status) without storing sensitive content
  • Created OrgEncryptionConfig model to manage per-organization encryption preferences (age, OpenPGP, or symmetric 7z)

@Jayant2908, I've thoroughly reviewed zero_trust_pipeline.py and analyzed all 16 Copilot suggestions. Here's a comprehensive breakdown with actionable recommendations for this PR:

🚨 Critical Security Issues (Must Fix)

1. Subprocess Timeout (Lines 105, 118, 139)

Risk: Malicious/buggy encryption tools could hang indefinitely, causing resource exhaustion.

Fix: Add timeout to all subprocess.run calls:

# age encryption
subprocess.run(cmd, check=True, timeout=300, capture_output=True)

# OpenPGP encryption
subprocess.run(cmd, check=True, timeout=300, capture_output=True)

# 7z encryption
subprocess.run(cmd, check=True, timeout=300, capture_output=True)

2. File Size and Count Validation (Line 35)

Risk: Users could upload extremely large files or many files, exhausting disk/memory.

Fix: Add validation at the start of the pipeline:

def build_and_deliver_zero_trust_issue(issue: Issue, uploaded_files) -> None:
    """..."""
    # Validation constants
    MAX_FILE_SIZE = getattr(settings, "ZERO_TRUST_MAX_FILE_SIZE", 50 * 1024 * 1024)  # 50MB
    MAX_FILES_COUNT = getattr(settings, "ZERO_TRUST_MAX_FILES", 10)
    
    # Validate file count
    if len(uploaded_files) > MAX_FILES_COUNT:
        raise ValueError(f"Maximum {MAX_FILES_COUNT} files allowed")
    
    # Validate file sizes
    total_size = 0
    for f in uploaded_files:
        if hasattr(f, 'size'):
            if f.size > MAX_FILE_SIZE:
                raise ValueError(f"File {f.name} exceeds maximum size of {MAX_FILE_SIZE} bytes")
            total_size += f.size
    
    if total_size > MAX_FILE_SIZE:
        raise ValueError(f"Total upload size exceeds {MAX_FILE_SIZE} bytes")
    
    os.makedirs(REPORT_TMP_DIR, exist_ok=True)
    # ... rest of the code

3. Command Injection Risk (Lines 105, 118)

Risk: age_recipient and pgp_fingerprint from database could contain shell metacharacters.

Fix: Add validation functions:

import re

def _validate_age_recipient(recipient: str) -> bool:
    """Validate age recipient format (age1... or ssh-ed25519/rsa key)."""
    # age recipients start with 'age1' or are ssh keys
    if recipient.startswith('age1'):
        # age public key format: age1[a-z0-9]{58}
        return bool(re.match(r'^age1[a-z0-9]{58}$', recipient))
    # Also allow SSH keys
    return recipient.startswith(('ssh-ed25519 ', 'ssh-rsa '))

def _validate_pgp_fingerprint(fingerprint: str) -> bool:
    """Validate PGP fingerprint is hexadecimal."""
    # PGP fingerprints are 40 hex characters (SHA-1) or 64 (SHA-256)
    return bool(re.match(r'^[A-Fa-f0-9]{40}$|^[A-Fa-f0-9]{64}$', fingerprint))

def _encrypt_artifact_for_org(org_config: OrgEncryptionConfig, input_path: str, tmp_dir: str, issue: Issue):
    preferred = org_config.preferred_method

    # age
    if preferred == OrgEncryptionConfig.ENCRYPTION_METHOD_AGE and org_config.age_recipient:
        if not _validate_age_recipient(org_config.age_recipient):
            raise ValueError(f"Invalid age recipient format: {org_config.age_recipient}")
        out = os.path.join(tmp_dir, "report_payload.tar.gz.age")
        cmd = [getattr(settings, "AGE_BINARY", "age"), "-r", org_config.age_recipient, "-o", out, input_path]
        subprocess.run(cmd, check=True, timeout=300, capture_output=True)
        return out, OrgEncryptionConfig.ENCRYPTION_METHOD_AGE

    # OpenPGP
    if preferred == OrgEncryptionConfig.ENCRYPTION_METHOD_OPENPGP and org_config.pgp_fingerprint:
        if not _validate_pgp_fingerprint(org_config.pgp_fingerprint):
            raise ValueError(f"Invalid PGP fingerprint format: {org_config.pgp_fingerprint}")
        out = os.path.join(tmp_dir, "report_payload.tar.gz.asc")
        cmd = [
            getattr(settings, "GPG_BINARY", "gpg"),
            "--encrypt",
            "--armor",
            "--recipient",
            org_config.pgp_fingerprint,
            "--output",
            out,
            input_path,
        ]
        subprocess.run(cmd, check=True, timeout=300, capture_output=True)
        return out, OrgEncryptionConfig.ENCRYPTION_METHOD_OPENPGP
    # ... rest

4. Broken sym_7z Fallback (Line 139)

Risk: Organizations receive encrypted files they cannot decrypt (password never delivered).

Fix: Disable sym_7z until OOB delivery is implemented:

    # Fallback: DISABLED - symmetric 7z requires OOB password delivery
    raise RuntimeError(
        f"Organization {org_config.organization.name} has no valid encryption method configured. "
        f"Symmetric 7z encryption is not supported because out-of-band password "
        f"delivery is not implemented. Please configure Age or OpenPGP encryption."
    )

5. Filename Sanitization (Line 42)

Risk: Malicious filenames with null bytes or path traversal attempts.

Fix: Use stronger sanitization:

import string
import unicodedata

def _sanitize_filename(filename: str) -> str:
    """Sanitize uploaded filename to prevent path traversal and other issues."""
    # Get basename to prevent path traversal
    filename = os.path.basename(filename)
    
    # Normalize unicode
    filename = unicodedata.normalize('NFKD', filename)
    
    # Remove null bytes and control characters
    filename = ''.join(c for c in filename if c not in ('\x00', '\r', '\n'))
    
    # Only allow alphanumeric, spaces, dots, dashes, underscores
    safe_chars = string.ascii_letters + string.digits + ' .-_'
    filename = ''.join(c if c in safe_chars else '_' for c in filename)
    
    # Prevent hidden files and ensure extension
    filename = filename.strip('. ')
    
    # Fallback if name is empty
    if not filename:
        filename = f"upload_{uuid.uuid4().hex[:8]}"
    
    return filename

# In build_and_deliver_zero_trust_issue:
for f in uploaded_files:
    safe_name = _sanitize_filename(f.name)
    dest_path = os.path.join(issue_tmp_dir, safe_name)
    # ... rest

⚠️ High Priority (Should Fix)

6. Add Logging Framework (Line 13)

Issue: No logging makes debugging impossible in production.

Fix: Add proper logging:

import logging

logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)

# In exception handler (line 84):
except Exception as e:
    issue.delivery_status = "failed"
    issue.save(update_fields=["delivery_status", "modified"])
    logger.error(
        f"Zero-trust pipeline failed for issue {issue.id}: {str(e)}",
        exc_info=True,
        extra={"issue_id": issue.id, "domain": issue.domain.url if issue.domain else None}
    )
    raise

7. Better Exception Handling (Lines 105, 118, 139)

Issue: Generic exception handling hides root causes.

Fix: Catch and log specific exceptions:

try:
    subprocess.run(cmd, check=True, timeout=300, capture_output=True)
except subprocess.TimeoutExpired as e:
    logger.error(
        f"Encryption command timed out for issue {issue.id}: {' '.join(cmd)}",
        exc_info=True
    )
    raise RuntimeError(f"Encryption timed out after {e.timeout} seconds")
except subprocess.CalledProcessError as e:
    logger.error(
        f"Encryption command failed for issue {issue.id}: {' '.join(cmd)}\n"
        f"Return code: {e.returncode}\n"
        f"Stderr: {e.stderr.decode('utf-8', errors='replace') if e.stderr else 'N/A'}",
        exc_info=True
    )
    raise RuntimeError(f"Encryption failed: {e.stderr.decode('utf-8', errors='replace') if e.stderr else 'Unknown error'}")

8. Separate Email Failures (Line 186)

Issue: Email failure marks entire pipeline as failed, even if encryption succeeded.

Fix: Add separate status tracking:

try:
    email.send(fail_silently=False)
    delivery_status = "delivered"
except Exception as e:
    logger.error(
        f"Email delivery failed for issue {issue.id} to {org_config.contact_email}",
        exc_info=True
    )
    delivery_status = "encryption_success_delivery_failed"
    # Don't raise - encryption was successful

# Update Issue metadata
issue.artifact_sha256 = artifact_sha256
issue.encryption_method = method_used
issue.delivery_method = "email:smtp"
issue.delivery_status = delivery_status

9. Safe Domain Access (Line 50)

Issue: Potential AttributeError if domain model doesn't have organization.

Fix:

domain = issue.domain
org = getattr(domain, "organization", None) if domain else None
if org is None:
    raise RuntimeError("Zero-trust issue must be associated with a domain/organization.")

📝 Documentation/Cleanup

10. Document Secure Deletion Limitations (Line 223)

Add docstring warning:

def _secure_delete_file(path: str) -> None:
    """
    Attempt basic secure deletion by overwriting with zeros before removal.
    
    WARNING: This is NOT cryptographically secure deletion on modern systems:
    - Copy-on-write filesystems (btrfs, ZFS) may preserve data
    - SSDs with wear-leveling don't overwrite in place
    - Encrypted filesystems already protect data at rest
    
    This provides defense-in-depth by clearing RAM buffers and preventing
    simple file recovery, but should not be relied upon as the sole protection.
    """
    try:
        length = os.path.getsize(path)
        with open(path, "wb") as f:
            f.write(b"\x00" * length)
        os.remove(path)
    except Exception:
        # Fallback to simple deletion if secure delete fails
        try:
            os.remove(path)
        except FileNotFoundError:
            pass

11. Rename Placeholder Function (Line 197)

🧪 Testing Recommendations

Add these test scenarios (can be in follow-up PR if needed):

  1. Test cleanup after encryption failure
  2. Test cleanup after email failure
  3. Test file size limit enforcement
  4. Test file count limit enforcement
  5. Test filename sanitization edge cases
  6. Test subprocess timeout handling
  7. Test invalid age recipient handling
  8. Test invalid PGP fingerprint handling

Summary of Required Changes

Must fix in this PR:

  1. ✅ Add subprocess timeouts (300 seconds)
  2. ✅ Add file size/count validation
  3. ✅ Add input validation for encryption parameters
  4. ✅ Improve filename sanitization
  5. ✅ Disable sym_7z fallback
  6. ✅ Add logging framework
  7. ✅ Improve exception handling
  8. ✅ Separate email vs encryption failures
  9. ✅ Safe domain.organization access

Can defer to Phase 2:

  • Additional test coverage
  • Email content sanitization (low risk)
  • UUID collision handling (negligible risk)

Would you like me to generate a complete, updated version of the file with all these fixes applied?

@Jayant2908, here are the detailed step-by-step changes for zero_trust_pipeline.py:

📋 Step-by-Step Changes

SECTION 1: Import Statements (Lines 1-14)

At line 2 (after import hashlib), ADD these new imports:

import logging
import re
import string
import unicodedata

After line 14 (after the OrgEncryptionConfig import), ADD:

logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)

SECTION 2: Add Validation Functions (Before build_and_deliver_zero_trust_issue)

After line 16 (after REPORT_TMP_DIR = ...), ADD these three new functions:

def _validate_age_recipient(recipient: str) -> bool:
    """Validate age recipient format (age1... or ssh-ed25519/rsa key)."""
    if recipient.startswith('age1'):
        # age public key format: age1[a-z0-9]{58}
        return bool(re.match(r'^age1[a-z0-9]{58}$', recipient))
    # Also allow SSH keys
    return recipient.startswith(('ssh-ed25519 ', 'ssh-rsa '))


def _validate_pgp_fingerprint(fingerprint: str) -> bool:
    """Validate PGP fingerprint is hexadecimal."""
    # PGP fingerprints are 40 hex characters (SHA-1) or 64 (SHA-256)
    return bool(re.match(r'^[A-Fa-f0-9]{40}$|^[A-Fa-f0-9]{64}$', fingerprint))


def _sanitize_filename(filename: str) -> str:
    """Sanitize uploaded filename to prevent path traversal and other issues."""
    # Get basename to prevent path traversal
    filename = os.path.basename(filename)
    
    # Normalize unicode
    filename = unicodedata.normalize('NFKD', filename)
    
    # Remove null bytes and control characters
    filename = ''.join(c for c in filename if c not in ('\x00', '\r', '\n'))
    
    # Only allow alphanumeric, spaces, dots, dashes, underscores
    safe_chars = string.ascii_letters + string.digits + ' .-_'
    filename = ''.join(c if c in safe_chars else '_' for c in filename)
    
    # Prevent hidden files and ensure extension
    filename = filename.strip('. ')
    
    # Fallback if name is empty
    if not filename:
        filename = f"upload_{uuid.uuid4().hex[:8]}"

@Jayant2908 Thanks — all 8 items are in-scope for this Phase 1 MVP. They tighten security, prevent abuse, and improve integrity/admin UX without changing the intended flow. Below are concise fixes you can drop into this PR.

  1. Add throttling to the zero-trust endpoint
    Why: Prevents resource exhaustion via repeated heavy uploads.

Code (website/api/views.py):

from rest_framework.throttling import ScopedRateThrottle

class ZeroTrustIssueCreateView(APIView):
    """
    Zero-trust Issue creation endpoint.
    Stores only metadata in DB; PoC files are encrypted and delivered ephemerally.
    """
    authentication_classes = [TokenAuthentication]
    permission_classes = [IsAuthenticated]
    parser_classes = [MultiPartParser, FormParser]

    # NEW: throttle uploads by user/IP using a named scope
    throttle_classes = [ScopedRateThrottle]
    throttle_scope = "zero_trust_issues"

    def post(self, request):
        ...

Settings (add or extend in settings.py):

REST_FRAMEWORK = {
    # keep your existing settings...
    "DEFAULT_THROTTLE_RATES": {
        # keep your existing rates...
        "zero_trust_issues": "5/hour",   # tune as needed, e.g., "2/min", "20/day"
        "user": "1000/day",               # optional defaults
        "anon": "200/day",
    }
}
  1. Make the test age recipient format-safe (or document why)
    Why: The current “all q’s” string may not be a well-formed bech32 recipient; better to make the intent explicit and length-correct.

Code (tests; ZeroTrustAPITests.setUp):

OrgEncryptionConfig.objects.create(
    organization=self.org,
    contact_email="security@example.com",
    preferred_method="age",
    # Valid-length placeholder (age1 + 58 chars). We mock the pipeline, so this is never used by age/gpg.
    age_recipient="age1" + "q" * 58,
)

Optionally add a comment above explaining the pipeline is mocked and the key is not used for real encryption in this test.

  1. Register OrgEncryptionConfig in admin
    Why: PR description promises admin safety defaults; this enables org-controlled config management.

Code (website/admin.py):

from website.models import (..., OrgEncryptionConfig, ...)  # add OrgEncryptionConfig to the import list

class OrgEncryptionConfigAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    list_display = ("organization", "preferred_method", "contact_email", "updated_at", "last_verified_at")
    search_fields = ("organization__name", "contact_email", "age_recipient", "pgp_fingerprint")
    list_filter = ("preferred_method",)
    readonly_fields = ("created_at", "updated_at", "last_verified_at")

admin.site.register(OrgEncryptionConfig, OrgEncryptionConfigAdmin)
  1. Prevent unusable sym_7z deliveries until OOB password exists
    Why: Avoids delivering undecryptable artifacts; explicit failure is safer.

Code (website/zero_trust_pipeline.py, inside _encrypt_artifact_for_org):

if preferred == OrgEncryptionConfig.ENCRYPTION_METHOD_SYM_7Z:
    raise RuntimeError(
        "Symmetric 7z is disabled: no out-of-band password delivery is implemented. "
        "Please configure Age or OpenPGP for this organization."
    )
  1. Improve pipeline test realism (let pipeline create dirs)
    Why: Avoids bypassing real behavior and reduces false confidence.

Code (tests; ZeroTrustPipelineTests.test_pipeline_sets_hash_and_deletes_temp_files):

@patch("website.zero_trust_pipeline._encrypt_artifact_for_org")
@patch("website.zero_trust_pipeline.uuid.uuid4")
def test_pipeline_sets_hash_and_deletes_temp_files(self, mock_uuid, mock_encrypt):
    fixed_uuid = uuid.UUID("12345678123456781234567812345678")
    mock_uuid.return_value = fixed_uuid

    # Let the pipeline create the temp dir; do NOT pre-create it.

    def fake_encrypt(org_config, input_path, tmp_dir, issue):
        out = Path(tmp_dir) / "report.tar.gz.age"
        out.write_bytes(b"encrypted-content")
        return str(out), "age"

    mock_encrypt.side_effect = fake_encrypt

    upload = SimpleUploadedFile("poc.txt", b"secret data", content_type="text/plain")

    build_and_deliver_zero_trust_issue(self.issue, [upload])
    self.issue.refresh_from_db()

    self.assertTrue(self.issue.is_zero_trust)
    self.assertIsNotNone(self.issue.artifact_sha256)
    self.assertEqual(self.issue.encryption_method, "age")

    issue_tmp_dir = Path(settings.REPORT_TMP_DIR) / str(fixed_uuid)
    self.assertFalse(issue_tmp_dir.exists())
  1. Assert the API calls the pipeline with correct arguments
    Why: Ensures the view and pipeline wiring is correct.

Code (tests; ZeroTrustAPITests.test_zero_trust_issue_creation):

self.assertEqual(response.status_code, 201)
self.assertIn("artifact_sha256", response.data)
self.assertEqual(response.data["delivery_status"], "pending_build")

# NEW: verify pipeline invocation args
self.assertTrue(mock_pipeline.called)
called_issue, called_files = mock_pipeline.call_args[0]
self.assertEqual(called_issue.id, response.data["id"])
self.assertEqual(len(called_files), 1)
self.assertEqual(getattr(called_files[0], "name", None), "exploit.txt")
  1. Validate artifact_sha256 is a 64-char hex string
    Why: Protects integrity of stored metadata.

Code (website/models.py):

from django.core.validators import RegexValidator

class Issue(models.Model):
    ...
    artifact_sha256 = models.CharField(
        max_length=64,
        blank=True,
        help_text="SHA-256 of the encrypted disclosure artifact sent to the org.",
        validators=[RegexValidator(
            regex=r"^[A-Fa-f0-9]{64}$",
            message="artifact_sha256 must be exactly 64 hexadecimal characters.",
            code="invalid_sha256",
        )],
    )
    ...

Note: This change requires a migration (manage.py makemigrations).

  1. Avoid orphan Issue rows when OrgEncryptionConfig is missing
    Why: Prevents persistent “pending_build” rows when delivery can never happen.

Code (website/api/views.py; in ZeroTrustIssueCreateView.post — pre-check before create):

def post(self, request):
    domain_id = request.data.get("domain_id")
    url = request.data.get("url")
    summary = request.data.get("summary")
    files = request.FILES.getlist("files")

    if not domain_id or not url or not summary or not files:
        return Response({"error": "domain_id, url, summary and files are required"},
                        status=status.HTTP_400_BAD_REQUEST)

    try:
        domain = Domain.objects.get(id=domain_id)
    except Domain.DoesNotExist:
        return Response({"error": "Invalid domain_id"}, status=status.HTTP_400_BAD_REQUEST)

    # NEW: Check org encryption config BEFORE creating the Issue
    try:
        OrgEncryptionConfig.objects.get(organization=domain.organization)
    except OrgEncryptionConfig.DoesNotExist:
        return Response(
            {"error": "Zero-trust delivery is not configured for this organization"},
            status=status.HTTP_400_BAD_REQUEST,
        )

    # Create Issue only after config is confirmed
    issue = Issue.objects.create(
        user=request.user,
        domain=domain,
        url=url,
        description=summary,
        is_hidden=True,
        is_zero_trust=True,
        delivery_status="pending_build",
    )
    assert issue.is_hidden is True
    assert issue.is_zero_trust is True

    try:
        build_and_deliver_zero_trust_issue(issue, files)
    except Exception:
        return Response({"error": "Zero-trust submission failed"}, status=status.HTTP_500_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR)

    issue.refresh_from_db()
    return Response(
        {"id": issue.id, "artifact_sha256": issue.artifact_sha256, "delivery_status": issue.delivery_status},
        status=status.HTTP_201_CREATED,
    )

Quick rationale summary

  • 1 (Throttling): Yes — protects infra from abusive heavy uploads.
  • 2 (Test key): Yes — avoids future flakiness; at minimum document; better to make format-safe.
  • 3 (Admin registration): Yes — aligns with PR goals; required for operability.
  • 4 (sym_7z password): Yes — disable until OOB exists; otherwise unusable deliveries.
  • 5 (Test temp dir): Yes — improves test realism.
  • 6 (Assert pipeline called): Yes — verifies integration behavior.
  • 7 (SHA-256 validator): Yes — enforces integrity of stored metadata.
  • 8 (Pre-check config): Yes — avoids orphan Issues and user confusion.

If you want, I can also add a small throttle test and a migration stub for the validator.

@coderabbitai I have doubts
1)Check the first issue in the above and settings.py and give the exact code as it is creating confusion.
2)What to do next for the 4th issue

@Jayant2908, here are the exact fixes for all 3 issues:

1️⃣ Throttling Configuration (Exact Code)

Step A: Update blt/settings.py

Find the REST_FRAMEWORK dictionary (around line 630-640). It currently looks like this:

REST_FRAMEWORK = {
    "DEFAULT_PAGINATION_CLASS": "rest_framework.pagination.PageNumberPagination",
    "DEFAULT_FILTER_BACKENDS": ("django_filters.rest_framework.DjangoFilterBackend",),
    "DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES": ("rest_framework.authentication.TokenAuthentication",),
    "PAGE_SIZE": 10,
    "DEFAULT_THROTTLE_RATES": {
        "anon": f"{anon_throttle}/day",
        "user": f"{user_throttle}/day",
    },
}

Replace it with (add the zero_trust_issues scope):

REST_FRAMEWORK = {
    "DEFAULT_PAGINATION_CLASS": "rest_framework.pagination.PageNumberPagination",
    "DEFAULT_FILTER_BACKENDS": ("django_filters.rest_framework.DjangoFilterBackend",),
    "DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES": ("rest_framework.authentication.TokenAuthentication",),
    "PAGE_SIZE": 10,
    "DEFAULT_THROTTLE_RATES": {
        "anon": f"{anon_throttle}/day",
        "user": f"{user_throttle}/day",
        "zero_trust_issues": "5/hour",  # NEW: limit heavy uploads
    },
}

Step B: Update website/api/views.py

Find the ZeroTrustIssueCreateView class (around line 1996). It currently starts like this:

class ZeroTrustIssueCreateView(APIView):
    """
    Zero-trust Issue creation endpoint.
    Stores only metadata in DB; PoC files are encrypted and delivered ephemerally.
    """

    authentication_classes = [TokenAuthentication]
    permission_classes = [IsAuthenticated]
    parser_classes = [MultiPartParser, FormParser]

    def post(self, request):

Update it to (add throttling imports and classes):

First, add this import at the top of views.py (around line 30-40 where other imports are):

from rest_framework.throttling import ScopedRateThrottle

Then update the class:

class ZeroTrustIssueCreateView(APIView):
    """
    Zero-trust Issue creation endpoint.
    Stores only metadata in DB; PoC files are encrypted and delivered ephemerally.
    """

    authentication_classes = [TokenAuthentication]
    permission_classes = [IsAuthenticated]
    parser_classes = [MultiPartParser, FormParser]
    throttle_classes = [ScopedRateThrottle]  # NEW
    throttle_scope = "zero_trust_issues"  # NEW

    def post(self, request):

2️⃣ sym_7z Issue - Already Fixed ✅

You already have the fix from my previous response. The code in website/zero_trust_pipeline.py should have removed the 7z fallback section and replaced it with an error. If you haven't applied it yet, find the fallback section (around line 160-170) and replace it with:

    # Fallback: DISABLED - symmetric 7z requires OOB password delivery
    raise RuntimeError(
        f"Organization {org_config.organization.name} has no valid encryption method configured. "
        f"Symmetric 7z encryption is not supported because out-of-band password "
        f"delivery is not implemented. Please configure Age or OpenPGP encryption."
    )

This means sym_7z is completely disabled until Phase 2 implements OOB password delivery.


3️⃣ Fix Failing Test

The test fails because the mock doesn't simulate what the real pipeline does. The mock returns None but never updates the issue object.

Replace the test in website/tests/test_zero_trust_api.py with:

@patch("website.api.views.build_and_deliver_zero_trust_issue")
def test_zero_trust_issue_creation(self, mock_pipeline):
    # Make the mock update the issue like the real pipeline would
    def fake_pipeline(issue, files):
        issue.artifact_sha256 = "abc123def456"  # fake hash
        issue.delivery_status = "delivered"
        issue.encryption_method = "age"
        issue.save()
    
    mock_pipeline.side_effect = fake_pipeline
    
    url = "/api/zero-trust/issues/"

    file = SimpleUploadedFile(
        "exploit.txt",
        b"TOP SECRET",
        content_type="text/plain",
    )

    response = self.client.post(
        url,
        {
            "domain_id": self.domain.id,
            "url": "https://api.example.com/vuln",
            "summary": "High-level issue summary",
            "files": [file],
        },
        format="multipart",
    )

    self.assertEqual(response.status_code, 201)
    self.assertIn("artifact_sha256", response.data)
    self.assertEqual(response.data["delivery_status"], "delivered")  # Now this will pass
    
    # Verify pipeline was called with correct arguments
    self.assertTrue(mock_pipeline.called)
    called_issue, called_files = mock_pipeline.call_args[0]
    self.assertEqual(called_issue.domain.id, self.domain.id)
    self.assertEqual(len(called_files), 1)

Why the test was failing:

  • Before: Mock returned None → pipeline never ran → delivery_status stayed "pending_build"
  • After: Mock simulates real pipeline → updates issue.delivery_status = "delivered" → test passes ✅

Summary

  1. Throttling: Add "zero_trust_issues": "5/hour" to REST_FRAMEWORK in settings.py + add throttle_classes and throttle_scope to the view
  2. sym_7z: Already handled - it's disabled with an error message
  3. Test fix: Make the mock simulate real pipeline behavior by updating the issue object

All three issues are now resolved! 🎯

665-671: Zero‑trust temp directory and binary configuration are consistent with pipeline/tests

REPORT_TMP_DIR under BASE_DIR matches how build_and_deliver_zero_trust_issue and ZeroTrustPipelineTests construct per‑issue temp dirs, and the AGE/GPG/7z binaries are cleanly overridable via env. If you ever deploy on non‑ephemeral disks, consider documenting that tmp_reports should be excluded from backups or mounted on an ephemeral volume to preserve the zero‑trust guarantees.

website/tests/test_zero_trust_api.py (1)

11-23: Make Domain setup and URL usage more explicit in the API test

Two small robustness tweaks worth considering:

  • In setUp, Domain.objects.create(organization=self.org, url="https://api.example.com") relies on whatever defaults Domain.name happens to have. To avoid surprises if that field’s constraints change, it’s safer to pass a concrete name, e.g. name="api.example.com".

  • In test_zero_trust_issue_creation, using reverse("zero_trust_issue_create") instead of the hard‑coded "/api/zero-trust/issues/" would keep the test resilient to future URL refactors.

Also applies to: 38-55

website/api/views.py (1)

2012-2022: Consider adding summary length validation.

The endpoint validates URL format but doesn't limit the summary field length. While the Issue model likely has database constraints, API-level validation prevents resource exhaustion from extremely long summaries before processing begins.

🔎 Proposed enhancement
+        MAX_SUMMARY_LENGTH = 5000  # Reasonable limit for vulnerability summary
+
         if not domain_id or not url or not summary or not files:
             return Response(
                 {"error": "domain_id, url, summary, and files are required"},
                 status=status.HTTP_400_BAD_REQUEST,
             )
+
+        if len(summary) > MAX_SUMMARY_LENGTH:
+            return Response(
+                {"error": f"Summary exceeds maximum length of {MAX_SUMMARY_LENGTH} characters"},
+                status=status.HTTP_400_BAD_REQUEST,
+            )
website/tests/test_zero_trust_sym7z.py (1)

143-154: Command verification could be more robust.

The assertion at line 151 converts the command list to string with str(cmd) which works but is less precise. The check at line 144 filters for calls where call[0][0][0].endswith("7z") which may not match all 7z binary paths (e.g., /usr/bin/7z would work, but paths without 7z suffix wouldn't).

🔎 Suggested improvement
-        # Find the 7z encryption call
-        calls = [call for call in mock_subprocess.call_args_list if call[0][0][0].endswith("7z")]
+        # Find the 7z encryption call (binary name contains '7z')
+        calls = [call for call in mock_subprocess.call_args_list if "7z" in call[0][0][0]]

         self.assertGreater(len(calls), 0, "7z should have been called")

         cmd = calls[0][0][0]  # First positional arg is the command list

         # Verify critical security flags
-        self.assertIn("7z", str(cmd))
+        self.assertTrue(any("7z" in arg for arg in cmd), "Command should involve 7z")
         self.assertIn("-mhe=on", cmd, "Should encrypt headers")
         self.assertIn("-t7z", cmd, "Should use 7z format")
         self.assertTrue(any("-p" in arg for arg in cmd), "Should have password flag")
website/zero_trust_pipeline.py (2)

195-198: Consider using generic error messages in exceptions.

The RuntimeError at line 198 includes the organization name, which could be exposed if exception messages are logged or returned differently in the future. While the API layer currently catches this and returns a generic error, following the principle of defense-in-depth, consider logging the details separately and raising a generic exception.

🔎 Suggested improvement
         try:
             org_config = OrgEncryptionConfig.objects.get(organization=org)
         except OrgEncryptionConfig.DoesNotExist:
-            raise RuntimeError(f"No OrgEncryptionConfig for organization {org.name}")
+            logger.error(
+                "No OrgEncryptionConfig for organization id=%s name=%s",
+                org.id,
+                org.name,
+            )
+            raise RuntimeError("Organization encryption configuration not found")

148-150: Consider restricting temporary directory/file permissions.

The temporary directory and files are created with default permissions, which may allow other users on shared systems to access sensitive data during processing. While files are short-lived and the pipeline is intended for isolated environments, restrictive permissions provide defense-in-depth.

🔎 Suggested hardening
-    os.makedirs(REPORT_TMP_DIR, exist_ok=True)
+    os.makedirs(REPORT_TMP_DIR, mode=0o700, exist_ok=True)
     # Use mkdtemp for guaranteed unique directory (prevents UUID collision and race conditions)
-    issue_tmp_dir = tempfile.mkdtemp(prefix=f"issue_{issue.id}_", dir=REPORT_TMP_DIR)
+    # Note: mkdtemp uses system umask; explicitly set restrictive permissions
+    issue_tmp_dir = tempfile.mkdtemp(prefix=f"issue_{issue.id}_", dir=REPORT_TMP_DIR)
+    os.chmod(issue_tmp_dir, 0o700)

For file writes (line 169), consider:

fd = os.open(dest_path, os.O_WRONLY | os.O_CREAT | os.O_TRUNC, 0o600)
with os.fdopen(fd, "wb") as out:
    # ... write chunks

blt/settings.py (1)

508-518: Zero‑trust throttle scope and rate wiring look correct

"zero_trust_issues": "5/hour" lines up with ScopedRateThrottle + throttle_scope="zero_trust_issues" in ZeroTrustIssueCreateView, so the heavy upload endpoint will actually be throttled as intended.

website/migrations/0264_issue_artifact_sha256_issue_delivered_at_and_more.py (1)

14-107: Migration schema matches models and validator usage

The new Issue fields and OrgEncryptionConfig definition mirror website.models (including the conditional SHA‑256 validator), so the schema aligns with the runtime model logic and should migrate cleanly.

blt/urls.py (1)

22-54: Zero‑trust issue API endpoint is correctly wired

Importing ZeroTrustIssueCreateView and exposing it at api/zero-trust/issues/ cleanly connects the DRF view (with its auth + throttling) to the public URL that the tests exercise. No issues here.

Also applies to: 1255-1259

website/tests/test_zero_trust.py (1)

44-70: Pipeline behavior coverage for success, failure, and temp cleanup looks solid

The tests for:

  • successful age encryption with hash set and temp dir removal,
  • failure when OrgEncryptionConfig is missing (and delivery_status moving to "failed"), and
  • successful sym_7z configuration via a mocked _encrypt_artifact_for_org

nicely pin down the critical zero‑trust pipeline invariants without hitting real crypto or email. No changes needed here.

Also applies to: 86-114

website/models.py (1)

53-61: Zero‑trust model and validator design are sound

  • validate_sha256_if_present correctly allows blanks while enforcing a strict 64‑hex format when a value is present, which fits artifact_sha256’s lifecycle.

  • OrgEncryptionConfig’s clean() + save() guarantee that age/openpgp configs can’t be saved without their respective key identifiers, which avoids runtime encryption failures.

  • The new Issue zero‑trust fields (is_zero_trust, artifact_sha256, encryption_method, delivery_method, delivery_status, delivered_at) are modeled as metadata only, with sensible max_lengths and help_texts, and don’t interfere with existing Issue behavior.

All of this aligns well with the zero‑trust workflow described in the PR.

Also applies to: 302-367, 818-848

website/admin.py (2)

187-215: Admin correctly protects zero‑trust Issue fields

Extending IssueAdmin to:

  • show is_zero_trust, delivery_status, and encryption_method in list_display, and
  • treat all zero‑trust fields as read‑only via readonly_fields plus get_readonly_fields

ensures operators can inspect pipeline state without accidentally mutating integrity‑critical metadata from the admin UI.

Also applies to: 217-232


65-66: OrgEncryptionConfig admin surface is appropriately constrained

Importing OrgEncryptionConfig and registering OrgEncryptionConfigAdmin with key fields in list_display, searchable key material identifiers, and read‑only timestamps gives admins the necessary visibility while avoiding accidental edits to audit fields. This matches the intended org‑level encryption configuration model.

Also applies to: 1308-1315

website/api/views.py (2)

2055-2079: LGTM! Defense-in-depth invariant checks properly implemented.

The invariant checks correctly use explicit if not statements with RuntimeError (rather than assertions that can be disabled with -O), and include proper logging before raising. The boolean comparisons are idiomatic Python.


2080-2109: LGTM! Error handling appropriately returns issue ID for client tracking.

The error handling correctly logs the exception with exc_info=True, marks the issue as failed, and returns both the error message and issue.id so clients can track or retry failed submissions. This addresses previous concerns about orphaned issues being untrackable.

website/tests/test_zero_trust_sym7z.py (4)

40-61: LGTM! Password generation tests cover key security requirements.

The tests verify length, character diversity requirements (uppercase, lowercase, digits, special characters), and uniqueness. Good coverage of the cryptographic password generation function.


63-121: LGTM! Comprehensive test for dual-email delivery in sym_7z workflow.

The test correctly simulates the full sym_7z flow by having the mock encryption function also call _deliver_password_oob, ensuring both the artifact email and password email are sent. Good verification of subjects, recipients, attachments, and content.


156-189: LGTM! Validates password is not persisted to database.

The test appropriately verifies that no password-like string is stored in Issue fields after pipeline execution. While the regex pattern could theoretically match non-password strings, the specific fields being checked make false positives unlikely.


191-210: LGTM! Good coverage of OOB delivery failure scenario.

This test verifies that when out-of-band password delivery fails, the pipeline properly raises an exception and marks the issue's delivery_status as "failed". Critical for ensuring the security invariant that encrypted artifacts without delivered passwords are flagged appropriately.

website/zero_trust_pipeline.py (6)

26-64: LGTM! Robust validation and sanitization helpers.

The validation functions properly check age recipient and PGP fingerprint formats to prevent command injection. The filename sanitization is thorough—using os.path.basename, unicode normalization, null byte removal, and character whitelisting. Good defense-in-depth approach.


66-96: LGTM! Cryptographically secure password generation.

Correctly uses secrets module, avoids ambiguous characters, ensures character diversity from all categories, and shuffles with secrets.SystemRandom() to prevent predictable patterns. Well-documented with clear docstring.


148-183: LGTM! Robust file handling with streaming validation.

Good improvements addressing past concerns:

  • Uses tempfile.mkdtemp() for guaranteed unique directories (line 150)
  • Handles filename collisions with counter suffix (lines 160-166)
  • Streaming size validation during write prevents accepting files larger than declared size (lines 174-181)
  • Tracks both per-file and total cumulative sizes

272-386: LGTM! Encryption implementation with proper security controls.

Key security measures in place:

  • Input validation before subprocess calls prevents command injection
  • Explicit shell=False and timeout=300 on all subprocess calls
  • Separate exception handling for TimeoutExpired and CalledProcessError with detailed logging
  • sym_7z implementation correctly generates password, delivers OOB, then removes reference
  • Honest documentation about Python string immutability limitations (lines 374-377)

439-515: LGTM! OOB password delivery implementation with good security guidance.

The _deliver_password_oob function correctly:

  • Sends password in a separate email channel
  • Raises RuntimeError on failure (ensuring artifacts without delivered passwords are flagged)
  • Includes comprehensive security instructions for recipients
  • Advises against copying the full command to avoid shell history exposure (line 472-473)
  • Documents that password is never logged or stored (line 448)

533-554: LGTM! Secure deletion with honest limitation documentation.

The function appropriately documents that this is defense-in-depth rather than cryptographic secure deletion (lines 537-543). The fallback error handling catches FileNotFoundError and logs appropriately. Given that artifacts are encrypted before delivery, this provides an additional layer of protection without false security claims.

How these patches resolve Copilot’s comments

  • subprocess.run timeouts/logging/error capture: added timeout=300, capture_output, shell=False, and explicit error logging.
  • File size/count limits: enforced at pipeline start (50MB/file default; max 10 files; customize via settings if needed).
  • Throttling: ScopedRateThrottle + "zero_trust_issues": "5/hour" in settings.
  • URL validation: URLValidator with 400 on bad input.
  • Admin registration: OrgEncryptionConfigAdmin with action to mark verified.
  • domain.organization getattr: safe access added.
  • artifact_sha256 validator: validate_sha256_if_present.
  • Filename sanitization: whitelist + unicode normalization; collision-proof filenames.
  • Dir uniqueness: tempfile.mkdtemp instead of manual UUID path; prevents reuse.
  • Secure deletion doc: expanded docstring with caveats.
  • Generic exception logging: logger.error with exc_info in pipeline and API.
  • Email failure status: returns "encryption_success_delivery_failed" when email send fails.
  • sym_7z password delivery: functional _deliver_password_oob; tests updated to simulate dual mails when encryption is mocked.
  • REPORT_TMP_DIR note: keep configurable; can point to OS temp via env (or mount ephemeral volume in containers).
  • last_verified_at: minimal helper + admin action (documented hook for Phase 2 verification workflow).
  • Tests: fix pending_build vs delivered expectation by making the mock update the Issue and assert pipeline args; add cleanup test.

If you want, I can open a small follow-up PR that only adds the two new tests (cleanup and sym_7z mail flow) to keep this one focused.

@Jayant2908 Good catches! Here's my analysis:

Issue 1: MUST FIX (Broken Test)

Problem: You're absolutely right! The test mocks uuid.uuid4() but the code uses tempfile.mkdtemp(), which generates its own random suffix. The test checks for a path that will never exist.

Current behavior:

  • Code creates: /tmp_reports/issue_123_a7f2x9z (mkdtemp's random suffix)
  • Test checks: /tmp_reports/12345678123456781234567812345678 (mocked UUID)
  • Assertion passes because mocked path doesn't exist, but actual temp dir might still exist!

This is in Phase 1 scope because it's a broken test that doesn't verify cleanup.

Fix for website/tests/test_zero_trust.py:

@patch("website.zero_trust_pipeline._encrypt_artifact_for_org")
def test_pipeline_sets_hash_and_deletes_temp_files(self, mock_encrypt):
    # REMOVED: uuid mock - no longer needed since we use mkdtemp
    
    def fake_encrypt(org_config, input_path, tmp_dir, issue):
        out = Path(tmp_dir) / "report.tar.gz.age"
        out.write_bytes(b"encrypted-content")
        return str(out), "age"

    mock_encrypt.side_effect = fake_encrypt

    upload = SimpleUploadedFile("poc.txt", b"secret data", content_type="text/plain")

    build_and_deliver_zero_trust_issue(self.issue, [upload])
    self.issue.refresh_from_db()

    self.assertTrue(self.issue.is_zero_trust)
    self.assertIsNotNone(self.issue.artifact_sha256)
    self.assertEqual(self.issue.encryption_method, "age")

    # Verify cleanup: no directories with this issue's prefix should remain
    base = Path(settings.REPORT_TMP_DIR)
    leftover_dirs = list(base.glob(f"issue_{self.issue.id}_*"))
    self.assertEqual(leftover_dirs, [], f"Found leftover temp directories: {leftover_dirs}")

Also fix the sym7z test at line 88-89 the same way (remove uuid mock, use glob pattern).


Issue 2: SHOULD FIX (Redundant Validation)

Problem: You're correct. The first validation (lines 138-146) only counts files that have a .size attribute. This creates two issues:

  1. Inconsistent behavior: Files without .size aren't counted in the first pass
  2. Unnecessary complexity: Streaming validation (lines 156-183) already catches everything

Example scenario where first pass fails:

  • Upload 2 files: 40MB (with .size) + 40MB (no .size)
  • First pass: total_size = 40MB → passes ✅
  • Streaming: streamed_total_size = 80MB → fails ❌

This isn't a security issue (streaming catches it), but it's confusing and wasteful to do two passes.

This is in Phase 1 scope because it's a code quality improvement that simplifies the implementation.

Fix for website/zero_trust_pipeline.py (lines 138-147):

Remove these lines:

    # Validate file sizes
    total_size = 0
    for f in uploaded_files:
        if hasattr(f, "size"):
            if f.size > MAX_FILE_SIZE:
                raise ValueError(f"File {f.name} exceeds maximum size of {MAX_FILE_SIZE} bytes")
            total_size += f.size

    if total_size > MAX_FILE_SIZE:
        raise ValueError(f"Total upload size exceeds {MAX_FILE_SIZE} bytes")

The streaming validation already handles this robustly!


Issue 3: INCOMPLETE

Your message cuts off after "3)". Could you share what the third issue is? I'm ready to evaluate and fix it if needed! 🔍


📋 Summary

Issue Severity In Scope? Fix
1. Test mocking wrong function High (broken test) ✅ Yes Remove uuid mock, use glob pattern
2. Redundant validation Medium (code quality) ✅ Yes Remove first-pass validation
3. ??? Unknown ? Waiting for details

Both issues 1 and 2 are worth fixing in this PR:

  • Issue 1 is a correctness bug (test doesn't verify what it claims)
  • Issue 2 is a simplification that removes confusing redundancy

Please share issue #3 when you get a chance! 🚀

@Jayant2908, excellent analysis! Here's my evaluation of each issue:


Issue 1: File Size Logic Error - MUST FIX

Problem: You're absolutely right. The logic is confusing:

  • Per-file limit: 50MB
  • Total limit: also 50MB ← This makes no sense!

This is in Phase 1 scope because it's a logic error that prevents legitimate use cases (e.g., uploading 2 × 30MB files).

Fix for website/zero_trust_pipeline.py (lines 131-147):

def build_and_deliver_zero_trust_issue(issue: Issue, uploaded_files: List[UploadedFile]) -> None:
    """..."""
    # Validation constants
    MAX_FILE_SIZE = getattr(settings, "ZERO_TRUST_MAX_FILE_SIZE", 50 * 1024 * 1024)  # 50MB per file
    MAX_TOTAL_SIZE = getattr(settings, "ZERO_TRUST_MAX_TOTAL_SIZE", 100 * 1024 * 1024)  # 100MB total
    MAX_FILES_COUNT = getattr(settings, "ZERO_TRUST_MAX_FILES", 10)
    
    # Validate file count
    if len(uploaded_files) > MAX_FILES_COUNT:
        raise ValueError(f"Maximum {MAX_FILES_COUNT} files allowed")
    
    # Validate file sizes (check if .size attribute exists)
    total_size = 0
    for f in uploaded_files:
        if hasattr(f, "size"):
            if f.size > MAX_FILE_SIZE:
                raise ValueError(f"File {f.name} exceeds maximum size of {MAX_FILE_SIZE / (1024*1024):.0f}MB")
            total_size += f.size
    
    # Validate total size (only if we got sizes for all files)
    if total_size > 0 and total_size > MAX_TOTAL_SIZE:
        raise ValueError(f"Total upload size {total_size / (1024*1024):.1f}MB exceeds maximum {MAX_TOTAL_SIZE / (1024*1024):.0f}MB")

⚠️ Issue 2: Password Memory Security - DEFER TO PHASE 2

Problem: del password doesn't securely erase memory.

This is NOT in Phase 1 scope for these reasons:

  1. Python limitation: True secure memory zeroing requires C extensions or specialized libraries
  2. Current implementation: Already documents the limitation with a comment
  3. Defense in depth: The password is never stored in DB/logs, only exists briefly in memory
  4. Complexity: Adding array.array or securemem is non-trivial and needs thorough testing

Recommendation: Keep current implementation with enhanced documentation. Add to Phase 2/3 roadmap.

Optional documentation improvement:

# Remove password reference (Python's immutable strings prevent true memory clearing)
# SECURITY NOTE: The password string will remain in memory until garbage collected.
# For production systems handling highly sensitive data:
# - Phase 2: Consider using `array.array('u', password)` with manual zeroing
# - Phase 3: Evaluate libraries like `securemem` or `pymemzero`
# Current risk: Low (password never persisted; memory only exposed during brief GC window)
del password

Issue 3: REPORT_TMP_DIR Validation - MUST FIX

Problem: BASE_DIR might not exist or be writable in production.

This is in Phase 1 scope because it's a robustness issue that could cause runtime failures.

Fix for blt/settings.py (line 666):

# Zero-trust report assembly temp directory with fallback
_DEFAULT_TMP = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "tmp_reports")
REPORT_TMP_DIR = os.environ.get("REPORT_TMP_DIR") or _DEFAULT_TMP

# Validate temp directory on startup (or create it)
try:
    os.makedirs(REPORT_TMP_DIR, exist_ok=True)
    # Test writability
    _test_file = os.path.join(REPORT_TMP_DIR, ".write_test")
    with open(_test_file, "w") as f:
        f.write("test")
    os.remove(_test_file)
except (OSError, PermissionError) as e:
    import tempfile
    REPORT_TMP_DIR = tempfile.gettempdir()
    logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
    logger.warning(
        f"REPORT_TMP_DIR {_DEFAULT_TMP} not writable, falling back to {REPORT_TMP_DIR}: {e}"
    )

Issue 4: Email Failure Test Coverage - SHOULD ADD

This is in Phase 1 scope because it tests an important error path.

Add to website/tests/test_zero_trust_api.py:

@override_settings(EMAIL_BACKEND="django.core.mail.backends.locmem.EmailBackend")
@patch("website.zero_trust_pipeline.EmailMessage.send")
@patch("website.zero_trust_pipeline._encrypt_artifact_for_org")
def test_email_delivery_failure_status(self, mock_encrypt, mock_email_send):
    """Test that email failure is tracked separately from encryption failure."""
    
    def fake_encrypt(org_config, input_path, tmp_dir, issue):
        out = Path(tmp_dir) / "report.tar.gz.age"
        out.write_bytes(b"encrypted-content")
        return str(out), "age"
    
    mock_encrypt.side_effect = fake_encrypt
    mock_email_send.side_effect = Exception("SMTP connection failed")
    
    upload = SimpleUploadedFile("poc.txt", b"data", content_type="text/plain")
    
    build_and_deliver_zero_trust_issue(self.issue, [upload])
    self.issue.refresh_from_db()
    
    # Encryption succeeded, email failed
    self.assertIsNotNone(self.issue.artifact_sha256)
    self.assertEqual(self.issue.encryption_method, "age")
    self.assertEqual(self.issue.delivery_status, "encryption_success_delivery_failed")

Issue 6: Test Mock Issue - MUST FIX

Already identified earlier. Fix by removing uuid mock and using glob pattern.

Fix for website/tests/test_zero_trust.py (line 45-68):

@patch("website.zero_trust_pipeline._encrypt_artifact_for_org")
def test_pipeline_sets_hash_and_deletes_temp_files(self, mock_encrypt):
    # REMOVED: uuid mock - no longer needed since code uses mkdtemp
    
    def fake_encrypt(org_config, input_path, tmp_dir, issue):
        out = Path(tmp_dir) / "report.tar.gz.age"
        out.write_bytes(b"encrypted-content")
        return str(out), "age"

    mock_encrypt.side_effect = fake_encrypt

    upload = SimpleUploadedFile("poc.txt", b"secret data", content_type="text/plain")

    build_and_deliver_zero_trust_issue(self.issue, [upload])
    self.issue.refresh_from_db()

    self.assertTrue(self.issue.is_zero_trust)
    self.assertIsNotNone(self.issue.artifact_sha256)
    self.assertEqual(self.issue.encryption_method, "age")

    # Verify cleanup: no directories with this issue's prefix should remain
    base = Path(settings.REPORT_TMP_DIR)
    leftover_dirs = list(base.glob(f"issue_{self.issue.id}_*"))
    self.assertEqual(leftover_dirs, [], f"Found leftover temp directories: {leftover_dirs}")

📋 Summary

Issue In Scope? Priority Action
1. File size logic ✅ Yes Must Add separate MAX_TOTAL_SIZE
2. Password memory ❌ No Nice-to-have Defer to Phase 2, enhance docs
3. REPORT_TMP_DIR ✅ Yes Must Add validation & fallback
4. Email failure test ✅ Yes Should Add test case
5. Validation tests ✅ Yes Should Add comprehensive tests
6. Test mock bug ✅ Yes Must Remove uuid mock, use glob

Must fix (3): Issues 1, 3, 6 - These are bugs/logic errors
Should fix (2): Issues 4, 5 - These add important test coverage
Defer (1): Issue 2 - Documented limitation, complex to implement properly

All fixes provided above are ready to apply! 🎯

@Jayant2908 You're absolutely right about point 1! Here's my analysis and fixes for the in-scope issues:

Issue 1: REPORT_TMP_DIR Fallback - SKIP

Your assessment: Correct! Other settings like BASE_DIR, STATIC_ROOT, etc. don't have fallbacks. Keep consistency.

Action: Remove the fallback I suggested. Keep the original simple approach.


Issue 2: Test Failing - FIX REQUIRED

Problem: The test I provided references self.issue which doesn't exist in ZeroTrustAPITests. This test class creates issues via the API, not in setUp.

Fix: Add the test to a new test class that extends the pipeline test setup:

In website/tests/test_zero_trust.py, add this test at the end:

@override_settings(EMAIL_BACKEND="django.core.mail.backends.locmem.EmailBackend")
@patch("website.zero_trust_pipeline.EmailMessage.send")
@patch("website.zero_trust_pipeline._encrypt_artifact_for_org")
def test_email_delivery_failure_status(self, mock_encrypt, mock_email_send):
    """Test that email failure is tracked separately from encryption failure."""
    
    def fake_encrypt(org_config, input_path, tmp_dir, issue):
        out = Path(tmp_dir) / "report.tar.gz.age"
        out.write_bytes(b"encrypted-content")
        return str(out), "age"
    
    mock_encrypt.side_effect = fake_encrypt
    mock_email_send.side_effect = Exception("SMTP connection failed")
    
    upload = SimpleUploadedFile("poc.txt", b"data", content_type="text/plain")
    
    build_and_deliver_zero_trust_issue(self.issue, [upload])
    self.issue.refresh_from_db()
    
    # Encryption succeeded, email failed
    self.assertIsNotNone(self.issue.artifact_sha256)
    self.assertEqual(self.issue.encryption_method, "age")
    self.assertEqual(self.issue.delivery_status, "encryption_success_delivery_failed")

This uses self.issue from the existing ZeroTrustPipelineTests class.


Issue 3: Test Command Extraction Bug - FIX REQUIRED

Problem: Line 148 extracts cmd = calls[0][0][0] which gives a string, but assertions expect a list.

Fix in website/tests/test_zero_trust_sym7z.py (line 148):

Replace:

cmd = calls[0][0][0]  # First positional arg is the command list

With:

cmd = calls[0][0]  # First positional arg is the command list

Issue 5: Stderr Leaking in API - FIX REQUIRED (Security)

Problem: API returns raw stderr which could expose server paths, versions, config details.

Fix in website/api/views.py (around line 2079-2092):

Replace the exception handler:

        try:
            build_and_deliver_zero_trust_issue(issue, files)
        except Exception:
            logger.error(
                "Zero-trust submission failed for issue %s",
                issue.id,
                exc_info=True,
            )
            issue.refresh_from_db()
            return Response(
                {
                    "error": "Zero-trust submission failed",
                    "id": issue.id,
                    "delivery_status": issue.delivery_status,
                },
                status=status.HTTP_500_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR,
            )

With sanitized version:

        try:
            build_and_deliver_zero_trust_issue(issue, files)
        except ValueError as e:
            # Validation errors are safe to expose (file size, count, etc.)
            logger.warning("Zero-trust validation failed for issue %s: %s", issue.id, str(e))
            issue.refresh_from_db()
            return Response(
                {
                    "error": str(e),  # Safe user-facing errors
                    "id": issue.id,
                    "delivery_status": issue.delivery_status,
                },
                status=status.HTTP_400_BAD_REQUEST,
            )
        except Exception as e:
            # System errors: log details but don't expose to API
            logger.error(
                "Zero-trust submission failed for issue %s",
                issue.id,
                exc_info=True,
            )
            issue.refresh_from_db()
            return Response(
                {
                    "error": "Encryption or delivery failed. Please contact support.",
                    "id": issue.id,
                    "delivery_status": issue.delivery_status,
                },
                status=status.HTTP_500_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR,
            )

This distinguishes between validation errors (safe to show) and system errors (hide details).


Issue 7: Binary Path Validation - FIX REQUIRED (Security)

Problem: AGE_BINARY, GPG_BINARY, SEVENZ_BINARY could be manipulated if not validated.

Fix in blt/settings.py (after line 671):

import shutil

# Encryption binaries
AGE_BINARY = os.environ.get("AGE_BINARY", "age")
GPG_BINARY = os.environ.get("GPG_BINARY", "gpg")
SEVENZ_BINARY = os.environ.get("SEVENZ_BINARY", "7z")

# Validate binary paths on startup
def _validate_binary(name: str, path: str) -> str:
    """Validate and resolve binary path safely."""
    # If it's an absolute path, check it exists and is executable
    if os.path.isabs(path):
        if not os.path.isfile(path) or not os.access(path, os.X_OK):
            logger.warning(f"{name} path '{path}' is not executable or doesn't exist")
        return path
    
    # Otherwise, resolve from PATH
    resolved = shutil.which(path)
    if resolved:
        return resolved
    
    # Not found - log warning but allow (will fail at runtime if used)
    logger.warning(f"{name} binary '{path}' not found in PATH")
    return path

AGE_BINARY = _validate_binary("AGE_BINARY", AGE_BINARY)
GPG_BINARY = _validate_binary("GPG_BINARY", GPG_BINARY)
SEVENZ_BINARY = _validate_binary("SEVENZ_BINARY", SEVENZ_BINARY)

This ensures binaries are resolved safely from PATH or validated as absolute paths.


Issue 4: Async/Celery - DEFER TO PHASE 2

Why out of scope:

  • Phase 1 MVP goal: Prove the zero-trust workflow works end-to-end
  • Synchronous is simpler for initial deployment/testing
  • Real production deployments would use:
    • Celery worker for async processing
    • Immediate response with status=202 Accepted
    • Webhook callback when complete
    • Status polling endpoint

Recommendation: Document in Phase 2 roadmap as "Production Deployment: Async Task Queue"


⚠️ Issue 6: Email TLS - DOCUMENT, DON'T ENFORCE

Why not enforced in code:

  • Django's email backend already supports TLS via EMAIL_USE_TLS and EMAIL_USE_SSL
  • This is a deployment/configuration concern, not a code concern
  • Some deployments use internal SMTP relays where TLS isn't needed
  • Enforcing would break valid deployments

Recommendation: Add documentation warning in _deliver_password_oob docstring:

def _deliver_password_oob(org_config: OrgEncryptionConfig, issue_id: int, password: str) -> None:
    """
    Deliver the symmetric encryption password via out-of-band email channel.
    
    Security model:
    - Password is sent in a SEPARATE email from the encrypted artifact
    - Both emails go to the same contact_email (organization's secure contact)
    - Organizations should implement additional controls (e.g., require both
      artifact email and password email to be present before decryption)
    - Password is NEVER logged or stored in the database
    
    DEPLOYMENT REQUIREMENT: Ensure EMAIL_USE_TLS=True or EMAIL_USE_SSL=True
    in production settings.py to protect password in transit.
    
    Args:
        org_config: Organization encryption configuration
        issue_id: Issue ID for reference
        password: The symmetric encryption password (will be sent then discarded)
    """

Bug: The OpenPGP encryption error handler fails to raise an exception on failure, leading to a FileNotFoundError when the non-existent output file is processed downstream.
Severity: CRITICAL | Confidence: High

🔍 Detailed Analysis

When OpenPGP encryption fails due to a subprocess.CalledProcessError, the function logs the error but does not raise an exception, unlike the handlers for Age and 7z encryption. It proceeds to return a path to an output file that was never created. The calling code then attempts to compute a SHA256 hash on this non-existent file path, which will trigger a FileNotFoundError and cause a crash. This prevents the system from correctly reporting the encryption failure.

💡 Suggested Fix

In the except subprocess.CalledProcessError block for OpenPGP encryption, add a raise RuntimeError(...) after the error is logged. This will ensure that encryption failures halt execution, matching the behavior of the Age and 7z error handlers.

Potential issue: When OpenPGP encryption fails due to a `subprocess.CalledProcessError`,
the function logs the error but does not raise an exception, unlike the handlers for Age
and 7z encryption. It proceeds to return a path to an output file that was never
created. The calling code then attempts to compute a SHA256 hash on this non-existent

Remaining Issue (1 Bug)

Test Bug in website/tests/test_zero_trust_sym7z.py Line 148

Problem: Wrong element extracted from subprocess mock calls.

Current code (WRONG):

cmd = calls[0][0][0]  # This gets the binary name string "7z", not the command list

Fixed code:

cmd = calls[0][0]  # This gets the full command list ['7z', 'a', '-t7z', ...]

Why it fails: calls[0][0][0] extracts just the string "7z", so assertions like self.assertIn("-mhe=on", cmd) check if substring -mhe=on is in the string "7z", which will fail.

Apply this fix:

# In website/tests/test_zero_trust_sym7z.py, line 148
# Replace:
        cmd = calls[0][0][0]  # First positional arg is the command list

# With:
        cmd = calls[0][0]  # First positional arg is the command list

🔇 Additional comments (18)
website/tests/test_zero_trust_pipeline.py (1)

1-61: LGTM! Good coverage for security-critical validation functions.

The tests adequately cover both valid and invalid inputs for _validate_age_recipient and _validate_pgp_fingerprint, including edge cases like wrong length, invalid characters, and empty strings. This provides a solid foundation for the security validation logic.

blt/settings.py (1)

516-516: Throttle rate appropriately configured.

The 10/hour rate for zero-trust submissions balances security research use cases with abuse prevention. This was adjusted from 5/hour per prior feedback.

website/tests/test_zero_trust.py (3)

17-40: Test setup is well-structured.

The setUp method correctly initializes all required objects with valid configurations. The test properly uses mocking to avoid requiring actual encryption binaries in CI.


42-65: Good test for hash computation and cleanup verification.

This test correctly verifies that the pipeline sets artifact_sha256 and cleans up temporary directories. The cleanup verification at lines 62-65 using glob pattern matching is a solid approach.


67-80: Good negative test for missing org config.

This test verifies that the pipeline fails gracefully and sets delivery_status to "failed" when the organization encryption config is missing.

website/api/views.py (5)

1998-2010: Well-configured API endpoint with appropriate security controls.

The endpoint correctly implements:

  • Token authentication for user identification
  • Rate limiting via ScopedRateThrottle with zero_trust_issues scope
  • Multipart/form parsing for file uploads

2012-2037: Input validation is thorough.

Good implementation of:

  • Required field checks with clear error message
  • URL format validation using URLValidator
  • Domain existence verification

2039-2063: Excellent pre-flight validation for encryption config.

Checking OrgEncryptionConfig existence before creating the Issue prevents orphan records. The optional validate_for_zero_trust hook provides a clean extension point for future validation logic.


2074-2089: Defense-in-depth invariant checks are properly implemented.

The checks use explicit if not conditions with proper logging, addressing the previous concern about assertions being disabled with -O. These catch unexpected modifications from signals, middleware, or database triggers.


2090-2108: Error handling correctly exposes issue ID for tracking.

On pipeline failure, the response includes both the issue.id and delivery_status, enabling clients to track failed submissions. The error is logged with exc_info=True for debugging.

website/zero_trust_pipeline.py (8)

1-23: Module setup is well-structured with proper logging.

Good use of module-level logger and fallback for REPORT_TMP_DIR configuration.


26-38: Validation functions correctly implement security checks.

Both validators use regex patterns that appropriately constrain the input formats to prevent command injection when these values are used in subprocess calls.


41-63: Filename sanitization provides good defense against path traversal.

The implementation handles:

  • Path traversal via os.path.basename
  • Unicode normalization
  • Null bytes and control characters
  • Whitelist-based character filtering
  • Empty filename fallback

66-96: Secure password generation uses cryptographically sound methods.

Using secrets module with character diversity requirements and shuffling provides strong random passwords suitable for symmetric encryption.


99-171: File handling with streaming validation is well-implemented.

The implementation correctly:

  • Validates file count before processing
  • Uses mkdtemp for unique directory creation
  • Tracks both per-file and total size during streaming
  • Handles duplicate filenames with counter suffix
  • Cleans up partial files on size violation

223-257: Tar artifact building is correctly implemented.

The function properly creates a compressed archive with metadata.json and uploaded files, cleaning up the temporary metadata file after archiving.


424-500: OOB password delivery is now properly implemented.

The implementation addresses the previous concern about _deliver_password_oob being a no-op. Key security features:

  • Password sent in separate email from artifact
  • Clear security instructions for recipients
  • Logging without exposing password
  • Raises RuntimeError on delivery failure to prevent unrecoverable encryption

503-545: Secure deletion with appropriate caveats documented.

The implementation provides defense-in-depth file overwriting with honest documentation about limitations on modern filesystems. The exception handling correctly distinguishes between expected (FileNotFoundError) and unexpected failures.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🔴 Critical

Critical: Missing exception raise after OpenPGP encryption failure.

Line 320 returns normally after catching CalledProcessError, but doesn't raise an exception like the age and sym_7z blocks do. This means OpenPGP encryption failures will silently continue with an empty/corrupted output file.

🔎 Proposed fix
         except subprocess.CalledProcessError as e:
             logger.error(
                 f"OpenPGP encryption failed for issue {issue.id}, return code: {e.returncode}",

In @website/zero_trust_pipeline.py around lines 314-320, The OpenPGP encryption
except block catches subprocess.CalledProcessError, logs it, but then falls
through to return success; modify the except in the OpenPGP encryption handling
so after calling logger.error (the block catching CalledProcessError and using
exc_info=True and extra={"stderr": ...}) you re-raise the exception (e.g., via
raise) instead of allowing the function to reach the existing "return out,
OrgEncryptionConfig.ENCRYPTION_METHOD_OPENPGP" line, matching the behavior used
in the age and sym_7z blocks.

This is a massive step forward for BLT's security posture, @Jayant2908! Implementing Phase 1 of Zero-Trust is a huge win.

I've been looking over the zero_trust_pipeline.py changes. I strongly agree with @coderabbitai regarding the Subprocess timeouts and Filename sanitization. In a Zero-Trust environment, we can't afford a 'Zip Slip' or command injection vulnerability via organization metadata.

Are you planning to implement the OOB (Out-of-Band) password delivery in Phase 1, or should we strictly enforce Public Key encryption for now to prevent orphaned artifacts?
