      • Vary: Cookie
      • CSRF cookie scoped to /admin, HttpOnly, SameSite=Strict
    • POST /admin/login without CSRF token -> 403 Forbidden
    • POST /admin/login with valid CSRF token -> 303 See Other with:
      • session cookie scoped to /admin
      • HttpOnly
      • SameSite=Lax
      • rotated CSRF cookie scoped to /admin
    • GET /api/v1/projects without bearer token -> 401 Unauthorized with:
      • Cache-Control: no-store, private, max-age=0
      • Vary: Authorization
      • shared security headers
    • created a download-capable API key through the hardened admin flow and verified:
      • first two GET /api/v1/projects requests -> 200 OK
      • third request -> 429 Too Many Requests with Retry-After: 1
      • changing X-Forwarded-For between those requests did not bypass the rate limit while TRUST_PROXY_HEADERS remained false, confirming socket-address behavior in practice
  • live smoke checks against an HTTPS-configured hardened server on 127.0.0.1:18089 with APP_BASE_URL=https://updates.example.com:
    • GET /admin/login -> 200 OK with Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000
    • CSRF cookie carried Secure, Path=/admin, HttpOnly, SameSite=Strict
    • POST /admin/login with valid CSRF token -> 303 See Other with session cookie carrying Secure, Path=/admin, HttpOnly, SameSite=Lax
  • static review of deployment artifacts:
    • Dockerfile

    • deploy/nginx.update-server.conf.example
    • deploy/update-server.env.example
    • docs/DEPLOYMENT.md

Findings

No blocking findings.

The stage satisfies the agreed scope:

  • admin and protected client routes emit sane security defaults;
  • CSRF protection is enforced on admin POST flows;
  • cookies are scoped to /admin and switch to Secure when the public base URL is HTTPS;
  • login and protected client API rate limits work;
  • trusted proxy handling is opt-in;
  • deployment and backup or restore documentation is present and coherent with the current architecture;
  • artifacts remain private and continue flowing through authenticated application endpoints.

Required Fixes

None.

Optional Improvements

  • Run docker compose up --build and one reverse-proxy example on the real target host before first production exposure, since Docker was unavailable in this validation environment.
  • If you later run multiple app instances, replace the current in-memory rate limiter with a shared store-backed or proxy-backed limiter.
