## Security Architecture

### Defense-in-Depth Strategy

FraiseQL implements multiple layers of security controls:

```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐
│   Application Layer (GraphQL API)      │  ← CSRF, Rate Limiting, Input Validation
├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
│   Authentication & Authorization        │  ← JWT, RBAC, MFA
├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
│   Container Layer (Distroless)          │  ← No shell, Non-root, Read-only FS
├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
│   Orchestration (Kubernetes)            │  ← Network Policies, Pod Security
├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
│   Infrastructure (Cloud/On-Prem)        │  ← Encryption, Access Control, Monitoring
└─────────────────────────────────────────┘
```

### Key Security Features

| Feature | Implementation | Benefit |
|---------|----------------|---------|
| **Distroless Containers** | Google-maintained minimal base images | 90% fewer CVEs vs standard images |
| **Non-Root Execution** | UID 65532 (distroless default) | Limits privilege escalation |
| **Immutable Infrastructure** | Read-only root filesystem | Prevents runtime tampering |
| **Zero-Trust Networking** | mTLS, Network Policies | Isolates services |
| **Secrets Management** | External vaults (not in containers) | Prevents credential leakage |
| **SBOM Generation** | CycloneDX format | Supply chain transparency |

## Container Security

### Production Dockerfile (Distroless)

**Location**: `deploy/docker/Dockerfile.distroless`

**Build Instructions**:
```bash
# Production image (minimal attack surface)
docker build \
  --target production \
  --tag fraiseql:1.8.0-distroless \
  --file deploy/docker/Dockerfile.distroless \
  .

# Debug image (includes busybox for troubleshooting)
docker build \
  --target debug \
  --tag fraiseql:1.8.0-debug \
  --file deploy/docker/Dockerfile.distroless \
  .
```

**Security Characteristics**:
- **Base Image**: `gcr.io/distroless/python3-debian12:nonroot`
- **No Shell**: `/bin/sh` not present (prevents reverse shells)
- **No Package Manager**: `apt`, `dpkg` not present
- **No Utilities**: `curl`, `wget`, `nc` not present
- **User**: Runs as UID 65532 (non-root)
- **Attack Surface**: ~90% smaller than `python:3.13-slim`

### Standard Dockerfile (Slim)

**Location**: `deploy/docker/Dockerfile`

**Use Cases**: Development, CI/CD, local testing

**Security Characteristics**:
- **Base Image**: `python:3.13-slim`
- **User**: Custom `fraiseql` user (UID 1000+)
- **Hardened**: Minimal packages, cleaned apt cache

---

## Vulnerability Management

### Scanning Process

1. **Weekly Automated Scans**
   - GitHub Actions workflow: `.github/workflows/security-compliance.yml`
   - Trivy scans all container images
   - Results uploaded to GitHub Security Code Scanning

2. **Vulnerability Triage**
   - **CRITICAL**: Immediate patching (24-48 hours)
   - **HIGH**: Expedited patching (7 days)
   - **MEDIUM**: Standard patching (30 days)
   - **LOW**: Review at next release cycle

3. **Exception Management**
   - All accepted vulnerabilities documented in `.trivyignore`
   - Each exception includes:
     - Risk assessment
     - Mitigation strategy
     - Review schedule
     - Approval authority

### Current Vulnerability Status

**As of 2025-12-09**:

| Severity | Count | Status |
|----------|-------|--------|
| CRITICAL | 0 | ✅ None |
| HIGH | 0 | ✅ None |
| MEDIUM | 4 | 📋 Under review (base OS, not exploitable) |
| LOW | 24 | 📋 Accepted risks (documented) |

**Active Monitoring**:
- **CVE-2025-14104** (util-linux): Monitoring for Debian security update
- **CVE-2025-9820** (GnuTLS): Low impact, application uses Python ssl module
- **CVE-2025-6141** (ncurses): Not exploitable (no terminal access in production)

See `.trivyignore` for detailed risk assessments.

---

## Supply Chain Security

### Software Bill of Materials (SBOM)

FraiseQL generates SBOMs for all container images:

```bash
# Generate SBOM in CycloneDX format
docker run --rm \
  -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
  aquasec/trivy image \
  --format cyclonedx \
  --output fraiseql-sbom.json \
  fraiseql:latest
```

**SBOM Contents**:
- All Python packages with versions
- System libraries and dependencies
- Container base image components
- Vulnerability mappings

**Use Cases**:
- Government procurement compliance
- Supply chain risk assessment
- License compliance audits
- Incident response (vulnerable package identification)

### Dependency Pinning

All dependencies are pinned to specific versions:

- **Python**: `pyproject.toml` with exact versions
- **System packages**: Multi-stage builds with locked apt packages
- **Rust crates**: `Cargo.lock` committed to repository

### Third-Party Verification

| Tool | Purpose | Frequency |
|------|---------|-----------|
| **Trivy** | Container & dependency scanning | Weekly + on every PR |
| **pip-audit** | Python package vulnerabilities | Weekly + on every PR |
| **TruffleHog** | Secrets detection | On every PR |
| **License scanner** | GPL compliance check | On every PR |

## Deployment Security

### Kubernetes Security Best Practices

**Pod Security Policy Example**:
```yaml
apiVersion: policy/v1beta1
kind: PodSecurityPolicy
metadata:
  name: fraiseql-restricted
spec:
  privileged: false
  allowPrivilegeEscalation: false
  requiredDropCapabilities:
    - ALL
  runAsUser:
    rule: MustRunAsNonRoot
  seLinux:
    rule: RunAsAny
  fsGroup:
    rule: RunAsAny
  readOnlyRootFilesystem: true
  volumes:
    - 'configMap'
    - 'emptyDir'
    - 'secret'
```

**Network Policy Example**:
```yaml
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: NetworkPolicy
metadata:
  name: fraiseql-api
spec:
  podSelector:
    matchLabels:
      app: fraiseql
  policyTypes:
    - Ingress
    - Egress
  ingress:
    - from:
        - podSelector:
            matchLabels:
              app: api-gateway
      ports:
        - protocol: TCP
          port: 8000
  egress:
    - to:
        - podSelector:
            matchLabels:
              app: postgresql
      ports:
        - protocol: TCP
          port: 5432
    - to:
        - namespaceSelector:
            matchLabels:
              name: kube-system
      ports:
        - protocol: TCP
          port: 53  # DNS
```

### Environment Variables Security

**DO NOT** store secrets in:
- Docker images
- ConfigMaps
- Environment variables in Kubernetes manifests

**DO** use:
- Kubernetes Secrets (with encryption at rest)
- HashiCorp Vault
- AWS Secrets Manager / Azure Key Vault / GCP Secret Manager
- External Secrets Operator

**Example with External Secrets**:
```yaml
apiVersion: external-secrets.io/v1beta1
kind: ExternalSecret
metadata:
  name: fraiseql-db-credentials
spec:
  refreshInterval: 1h
  secretStoreRef:
    name: vault-backend
    kind: SecretStore
  target:
    name: fraiseql-db-secret
  data:
    - secretKey: DATABASE_URL
      remoteRef:
        key: fraiseql/production/database
        property: url
```

---
