### Security
13+
14+
- **[HIGH · CWE-290] `hawkapi.flags.get_flags` no longer trusts client-supplied identity headers.** The DI helper previously built `EvalContext(user_id=request.headers.get("x-user-id"), tenant_id=request.headers.get("x-tenant-id"))`, letting any attacker claim any user/tenant by setting the header — bypassing flag targeting for admin previews and sensitive feature toggles. `user_id` and `tenant_id` are now always `None` on the default context; operators MUST derive identity from an authenticated dependency and build their own `EvalContext`. The headers are still exposed on `ctx.headers` for non-identity targeting (region, A/B variant).
15+
- **[HIGH · CWE-352] GraphQL `GET` request can no longer execute mutations or subscriptions via multi-operation documents.** The previous `_is_mutation` check inspected only the first non-comment token, so a document `query A {…} mutation B {…}` with `?operationName=B` snuck a mutation through the GET guard — a CSRF vector for image tags, prefetch, and cache poisoning. The handler now parses every top-level operation and rejects GET whenever the selected operation (or any of them, if `operationName` is omitted) is not a `query`.
16+
- **[HIGH · CWE-770] GraphQL endpoint gained depth and timeout limits.** `make_graphql_handler` now accepts `max_depth: int | None = 15` (selection-set nesting cap, evaluated before executor dispatch) and `timeout_s: float | None = 30.0` (wraps the executor in `asyncio.wait_for`). A single deeply-nested or alias-explosion query can no longer pin a worker indefinitely.
17+
- **[MEDIUM · CWE-200] GraphiQL UI is now opt-in.** `app.mount_graphql(...)` ships with `graphiql=False` by default; the in-browser explorer (and the schema introspection it implies) must be explicitly enabled for dev environments. Production deployments that previously relied on the default are unaffected because schema browsing is no longer exposed unless requested.
18+
- **[MEDIUM] gRPC server now has a default concurrent-RPC cap.** `app.mount_grpc(...)` accepts `maximum_concurrent_rpcs: int | None = 1000` and passes it to `grpc.aio.server(...)`. Pass `None` to restore the previous unbounded behaviour.
19+
20+
### Added
21+
22+
- `docs/security/threat-model.md` — STRIDE per subsystem for the five 0.1.3–0.1.5 additions (doctor / gRPC / GraphQL / flags / bulkhead).
23+
- `docs/security/code-review-2026-05-16.md` — focused security code review covering `security/**`, security-relevant middleware, and request/response boundaries.
24+
- `docs/security/owasp-api-top10-2023.md` — OWASP API Security Top 10 (2023) compliance map.
25+
- `SECURITY.md` — responsible-disclosure policy + supported-versions table.
26+
- `.github/workflows/security.yml` — Bandit + Semgrep (p/python + p/security-audit + p/owasp-top-ten) + pip-audit + Gitleaks + CodeQL on every push, PR, and weekly cron.
27+
- `.github/dependabot.yml` — weekly pip and github-actions update PRs.
28+
29+
### Changed
30+
31+
- `hawkapi.doctor.rules.deps.DOC050` PyPI fetch now explicit-scheme-checks the hard-coded URL and ships with `# nosemgrep` / `# nosec` markers — satisfies Bandit B310 and Semgrep `dynamic-urllib-use-detected` cleanly while preserving the `--offline` opt-out.

34+
If a fix takes longer than 30 days we will keep you updated and credit you in the eventual advisory.
35+
36+
## Scope
37+
38+
In-scope:
39+
40+
- The `hawkapi` package on PyPI and the `ashimov/HawkAPI` repository
41+
- The official plugins `hawkapi-sentry`, `hawkapi-otel`
42+
- All CI workflows in this repository
43+
44+
Out of scope:
45+
46+
- Vulnerabilities in optional dependencies that have not been triggered through HawkAPI APIs (report those upstream)
47+
- Issues that require root / local-machine compromise of the developer's machine
48+
- Best-practice / hardening suggestions without a concrete exploit path — open a regular issue instead
49+
50+
## Security tooling
51+
52+
The repository runs five automated security scans on every push and weekly:
53+
54+
- **Bandit** — Python AST-level SAST
55+
- **Semgrep** — OWASP Top 10 + python + security-audit rulesets
56+
- **pip-audit** — known CVEs in installed dependencies
57+
- **Gitleaks** — secrets in git history
58+
- **CodeQL** — semantic SAST with security-extended + security-and-quality queries
59+
60+
Run them locally:
61+
62+
```bash
63+
bandit -r src/ -ll
64+
semgrep --config=p/python --config=p/security-audit --config=p/owasp-top-ten src/
65+
pip-audit --strict
66+
gitleaks detect --source .
67+
```
68+
69+
## Hardening defaults
70+
71+
HawkAPI ships with secure defaults — `hawkapi doctor app:app` lints for 18 common misconfigurations across security, observability, performance, correctness and dependency hygiene. CI integration:
72+
73+
```bash
74+
hawkapi doctor app:app --severity=warn
75+
```
76+
77+
Exits non-zero on any warning, so it can gate deploys.
78+
79+
## Acknowledgements
80+
81+
Researchers who responsibly disclose security issues are credited in the [`CHANGELOG.md`](CHANGELOG.md) under the published fix.

# HawkAPI 0.1.5 Focused Security Code Review
2+
3+
Date: 2026-05-16
4+
Scope: `security/**`, selected middleware, request/response boundaries, `staticfiles.py`.
5+
Confidence threshold: HIGH only. Already-fixed items from 0.1.5 not repeated.
6+
7+
## HIGH
8+
9+
### H-1. GraphQL GET can execute mutations via multi-operation document (CWE-352)
10+
11+
- File: `src/hawkapi/graphql/_handler.py:43-50, 76-91`
12+
- Issue: `_is_mutation` inspects only the first non-comment token. A request `GET /graphql?query=query+A+{…}+mutation+B+{…}&operationName=B` passes the GET-mutation guard and runs `mutation B`.
13+
- Impact: CSRF on mutations — image tags, prefetch, cache poisoning can all trigger writes.
14+
- Fix: parse the document with the executor's parser before dispatch; reject GET whenever any `OperationDefinition` whose `name` matches `operationName` (or the only operation, if `operationName` is omitted) has `operation != "query"`.
15+
16+
### H-2. Unauthenticated identity headers feed flag targeting (CWE-290)
17+
18+
- File: `src/hawkapi/flags/_di.py:21-26`
19+
- Issue: `EvalContext(user_id=request.headers.get("x-user-id"), tenant_id=request.headers.get("x-tenant-id"))` trusts client-supplied headers as identity for flag evaluation.
20+
- Impact: any flag gated on `user_id == "alice"` (admin previews, sensitive feature toggles) can be reached by anyone with `X-User-Id: alice`.
21+
- Fix: remove implicit header read; require operator to pass explicit `context_factory`. Default `EvalContext()` must be empty.
22+
23+
### H-3. GraphQL endpoint has no depth, complexity or timeout limit (CWE-770)
24+
25+
- File: `src/hawkapi/graphql/_handler.py:119-128`
26+
- Issue: `await executor(...)` runs to completion with no in-band budget; nested-selection / alias-explosion queries pin a worker indefinitely.
27+
- Impact: single unauthenticated request → worker DoS.
28+
- Fix: wrap executor call in `asyncio.wait_for(...)`; add `max_depth` that pre-walks the parsed document and short-circuits with 400.
29+
30+
## MEDIUM
31+
32+
### M-1. gRPC server runs with unbounded concurrent RPCs
33+
34+
- File: `src/hawkapi/grpc/_mount.py:70-74`
35+
- Issue: `grpc.aio.server(...)` started without `maximum_concurrent_rpcs`; HTTP rate-limit / bulkhead middleware does not cover the gRPC port.
36+
- Fix: expose `maximum_concurrent_rpcs: int | None = 1000` on `mount_grpc`.
37+
38+
### M-2. GraphiQL UI enabled by default
39+
40+
- File: `src/hawkapi/graphql/_handler.py:57-74`
41+
- Issue: `graphiql: bool = True` default. UI ships in every deployment; combined with no introspection control the schema is publicly browsable in prod.
42+
- Fix: change default to `False`.
43+
44+
### M-3. `RedisBulkheadBackend._try_acquire_once` is racy (CWE-662)
45+
46+
- File: `src/hawkapi/middleware/bulkhead_redis.py:50-67`
47+
- Issue: `HSET` → `HLEN` → conditional `HDEL` pipelined but not transactional. Multiple acquirers may each `HSET` first then read `occupancy ≤ limit` and all stay registered.
48+
- Fix: replace pipeline with Lua script doing `HLEN` first, returning 0 when full, only then `HSET`.
49+
50+
### M-4. CSRF middleware never validates the HMAC it generates
51+
52+
- File: `src/hawkapi/middleware/csrf.py:67-78, 197-224`
53+
- Issue: `_generate_token` produces `{raw}.{hmac(raw)}`, but `_verify_token` is dead code — the unsafe-method path only does `hmac.compare_digest(submitted_token, cookie_token)`. `secret=` param is functionally unused.
54+
- Impact: not exploitable today (double-submit equality is enough), but API misleads operators and future changes can regress silently.
55+
- Fix: call `_verify_token` on both before equality check, or drop the dead `_verify_token`/`_secret` API.
56+
57+
## LOW
58+
59+
- **L-1.** Session middleware claims "optionally encrypted" but is sign-only (`middleware/session.py:25-27`). Docstring fix or add AES-GCM.
60+
- **L-2.** CSRF cookie `HttpOnly=False` by design (`middleware/csrf.py:38`); document the trade-off.
61+
- **L-3.** Multipart parser has no `max_parts` cap (`requests/form_data.py:96-146`). Default 1000 recommended.
62+
- **L-4.** Multipart `Content-Type` boundary split breaks on quoted `;` (`requests/request.py:226-234`).
63+
- **L-5.** Response header **names** not CRLF-scrubbed (`responses/response.py:62-69`); raise on `\r`/`\n`/`:` in key.
64+
- **L-6.** `FileResponse` does not constrain `path` to a base dir (`responses/file_response.py:33-37`); add optional `root=`.
65+
- **L-7.** CORS `expose_headers` / `allow_methods` not CRLF-scrubbed before joining (`middleware/cors.py:67-90`).
66+
- **L-8.** `RateLimitMiddleware._default_key_func` uses raw `scope["client"]`; docstring should advise placing `TrustedProxyMiddleware` first.
67+
68+
## Executive Summary
69+
70+
| Severity | Count |
71+
|---|---|

73+

# OWASP API Security Top 10 — 2023 Compliance Map
2+
3+
Date: 2026-05-16 · HawkAPI version: 0.1.6
4+
Mapping each OWASP API Top 10 (2023) category to the framework's posture and the operator's responsibility.
5+
6+
| API# | Category | HawkAPI provides | Operator must |
7+
|---|---|---|---|
8+
| **API1** | Broken Object-Level Authorization (BOLA) | `@app.get(..., permissions=["..."])` declarative permission scope + `PermissionPolicy` resolver | Implement a resolver that maps the authenticated principal to per-object roles and call it from `permissions=`. The framework does not infer object ownership |
9+
| **API2** | Broken Authentication | `HTTPBasic`, `HTTPBearer`, `APIKeyHeader/Query/Cookie`, `OAuth2PasswordBearer` extractors; `Security(dep, scopes=[…])`; `SecurityScopes` injection; `secrets.compare_digest` documented as the only safe way to compare extracted credentials | Choose a hashing scheme (`argon2id` recommended), implement rate-limit on `/login`, rotate signing keys |
10+
| **API3** | Broken Object-Property-Level Authorization | `response_model=` filters at the framework level + `response_model_exclude_{none,unset,defaults}` for finer redaction; msgspec Struct field omission on serialisation | Define explicit response Structs for every route — never return raw ORM objects |
11+
| **API4** | Unrestricted Resource Consumption | `RequestLimitsMiddleware` (query / header size), body-size cap via `HawkAPI(max_body_size=…)`, `RateLimitMiddleware` (token bucket), `RedisRateLimitMiddleware` (distributed), `Bulkhead` primitive, `request_timeout`, GraphQL `max_depth` + `timeout_s` (since 0.1.6), gRPC `maximum_concurrent_rpcs=1000` default (since 0.1.6) | Tune limits to traffic profile; place `TrustedProxyMiddleware` **before** rate-limit so per-IP buckets see the real client; use bulkheads around external dependencies |
12+
| **API5** | Broken Function-Level Authorization | Same primitives as API1 — `permissions=` per route, `Security(dep, scopes=[…])`, OpenAPI `operation.security` reflection so reviewers can audit the matrix | Document the role / function matrix; add CI test that every route either declares `permissions=` or is explicitly marked public |
13+
| **API6** | Unrestricted Access to Sensitive Business Flows | `Bulkhead` for per-flow concurrency caps, `RateLimitMiddleware` with custom `key_func` for per-tenant / per-flow budgets, `CSRFMiddleware` (double-submit) | Identify high-value flows (signup, refund, withdrawal); apply per-flow rate limits and human-verification (CAPTCHA / webauthn) outside the framework |
14+
| **API7** | Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) | Framework itself makes no outbound HTTP calls except `doctor` DOC050 (hard-coded `https://pypi.org` + scheme validation, `--offline` opt-out) | When your handler fetches a URL, validate scheme + resolved IP against allow-list; never pass user input directly to `httpx`/`requests` |
15+
| **API8** | Security Misconfiguration | `hawkapi doctor` ships 18 rules across 5 categories (security, observability, performance, correctness, deps). CSRF/Session use HMAC by default, GraphiQL ships disabled (since 0.1.6), gRPC reflection is opt-in, headers sanitised for CRLF, debug mode flagged by doctor | Run `hawkapi doctor app:app --severity=warn` as a deploy gate; pin actions to SHAs; enable Dependabot |
16+
| **API9** | Improper Inventory Management | OpenAPI 3.1 auto-gen, `/docs` `/redoc` `/scalar` opt-in (set `docs_url=None` for prod), version routing (`@app.get("/users", version="v1")` + `VersionRouter`), deprecation headers (RFC 8594 `Deprecation` / `Sunset` / `Link`), `detect_breaking_changes` for API governance, contract smoke tests | Track every released version in changelog; mark deprecated routes; remove docs URLs in prod or gate behind auth |
17+
| **API10** | Unsafe Consumption of APIs | `hawkapi gen-client` produces typed TS/Python clients with response-shape validation via msgspec; OpenAPI linter enforces `operation-id-required` / response descriptions | Validate downstream API responses; rate-limit + circuit-break upstream calls (use `CircuitBreakerMiddleware` / `RedisCircuitBreakerMiddleware` on the client side) |
18+
19+
## Framework-level controls summary
20+
21+
* **Input validation**: type-driven via msgspec / Pydantic; query / path / header / body / cookie all validated.
22+
* **Output filtering**: `response_model`, `response_model_exclude_*`, explicit Struct return types.
23+
* **Auth primitives**: HTTPBasic / HTTPBearer / APIKey* / OAuth2 + `Security(dep, scopes=[…])`.
24+
* **Headers**: response value CRLF-stripped; SecurityHeadersMiddleware available; trusted-proxy + IP-allowlist.
25+
* **DoS posture**: body-size, query/header limits, rate-limit (local + Redis), bulkhead, adaptive concurrency, GraphQL depth+timeout, gRPC max concurrent RPCs.
26+
* **Secrets**: CSRF / Session use HMAC-SHA256, `secrets.compare_digest` documented for handler-side comparison.
27+
* **CSRF**: double-submit cookie token, signed with HMAC-SHA256.
28+
* **Logging**: `StructuredLoggingMiddleware`, W3C Trace Context, `request.id` middleware, gRPC observability interceptor.
29+
* **Supply chain**: weekly Bandit + Semgrep (OWASP + python + security-audit rulesets) + pip-audit + Gitleaks + CodeQL via `.github/workflows/security.yml`; Dependabot weekly.

## CI gates
32+
33+
Required jobs that fail the build on findings:
34+
35+
| Job | Tool | Severity threshold |
36+
|---|---|---|
37+
| Bandit | bandit | Medium and above |
38+
| Semgrep | semgrep (p/python + p/security-audit + p/owasp-top-ten) | ERROR + WARNING |

43+
Run locally:
44+
45+
```bash
46+
bandit -r src/ -ll
47+
semgrep --config=p/python --config=p/security-audit --config=p/owasp-top-ten src/
48+
pip-audit --strict
49+
gitleaks detect --source .
50+
```
51+
52+
## What HawkAPI deliberately does NOT do
53+
54+
* Authentication / authorization business logic — operator provides via DI.
55+
* Identity from `X-User-Id` / `X-Tenant-Id` headers — never trusted by framework.
56+
* Auto-redaction of secrets in logs — operator opts in via `StructuredLoggingMiddleware` filter.
57+
* WAF / rule-based payload scanning — out of scope (use Cloudflare / ModSecurity in front).
