Detailed Findings

βœ… API Key & Encryption Protection

The PWA and CLI now leverage python-dotenv to manage secrets.

  • Status: Fixed.
  • Remediation:
    • A .env file is used to store PASSFORGE_API_KEY.
    • Vault derives a unique encryption key from this user-specific API key.
    • Local Trust Bootstrap: A secure endpoint /api/bootstrap allows the local PWA to automatically pick up the API key if running on 127.0.0.1, avoiding hardcoded secrets while maintaining ease of use.

βœ… Missing .env in .gitignore

  • Status: Fixed.
  • Remediation: Added .env, .env.local, .env.* to .gitignore.

βœ… Static File Access Risks

  • Status: Fixed.
  • Remediation: SecureStaticFiles in server.py now blocks all files starting with . (hidden files like .git, .env) and all .py, .sh, .bat files. Improved to handle current directory shortcuts safely.

βœ… Supply Chain Security

  • Status: Fixed.
  • Remediation: Bumped fastapi and python-multipart to versions addressing known CVEs related to request processing.

Verification & Retest

Status: Audit Complete (Ver. 1.2.0) - All checks PASSED. The system maintains a robust security posture across entropy analysis, vault encryption, and PWA network boundaries.
