Email: security@axontechlabs.com Response Time: Within 24 hours for critical issues

Please include:

Description of the vulnerability
Steps to reproduce
Potential impact
Suggested fix (if available)

Known Vulnerabilities¶

Base Image Vulnerabilities¶

All known vulnerabilities originate from the Debian base image used by the official python:3.13-slim Docker image. No vulnerabilities exist in SG Provisioner application code or Python dependencies.

Summary (as of 2026-05-05): 0 Critical, 7 HIGH, 42 MEDIUM, 63 LOW

HIGH Severity¶

CVE	Component	Description
CVE-2026-4878	libcap	Privilege escalation via TOCTOU race condition in cap_set_file()
CVE-2025-69720	ncurses	Buffer overflow vulnerability may lead to arbitrary code execution
CVE-2026-29111	systemd	Arbitrary code execution or Denial of Service via spurious IPC

Impact Assessment: All vulnerabilities are in base image system libraries. SG Provisioner does not directly invoke the affected functions. No fixes are currently available from Debian.

For the full vulnerability list run:

trivy image sg-provisioner:latest

Security Fixes in v1.2.0¶

urllib3 upgraded to >=2.7.0 - resolves CVE findings in the Python dependency chain
perl-base upgraded to latest available Debian patch in python:3.13-slim base image

Common Mitigations¶

Container runs as non-root user (sguser) with restricted permissions
No network services exposed by the container
AWS credentials are mounted read-only at runtime
Container runs non-interactively — no shell access
Multi-stage Docker build separates build dependencies from runtime
Cython compilation protects application source code

Security Features¶

Container Security¶

Non-root user: Container runs as sguser (UID 1000)
Minimal base image: python:3.13-slim for reduced attack surface
Multi-stage build: Separates build dependencies from runtime
Source protection: Core modules compiled to .so files via Cython
No hardcoded credentials: All credentials provided at runtime
Read-only mounts: AWS credentials mounted as read-only
Health checks: Container health monitoring enabled
No exposed ports: Container exposes no network services

Application Security¶

Input validation: All configuration validated against JSON Schema
Path traversal prevention: Config filenames cannot contain path separators
IAM least privilege: Split SSM permissions (read VPC, manage SG)
License validation: AWS Marketplace license verification
Audit logging: All operations logged with timestamps
Scenario validation: Security checks block dangerous patterns (open DB ports, SSH from public)

Security Group Validation¶

The scenario validator checks for:

Database ports open to 0.0.0.0/0 or ::/0 (ERROR)
SSH (22) or RDP (3389) open to the world (WARNING)
Missing security group descriptions (ERROR)
References to non-existent tiers (ERROR)

Security Update Policy¶

Severity	Response Time
