Security audit fixes: patch 16 vulnerabilities across 7 source files

CRITICAL:
- Instance name path traversal (AP-001): sanitize::sanitize_instance_name()
  strips .., /, \, \0, spaces, special chars at all 12 join call sites
- Zip-slip protection in world import: starts_with() guard after enclosed_name()

HIGH:
- RCON command injection: validate_username() rejects non-MC usernames
  across all 6 player action macros (whitelist, op, ban)
- Level-seed properties injection: sanitize_seed() strips \n \r = : \0
- CSRF protection: SameSite=Lax -> SameSite=Strict on session cookie

MEDIUM:
- Session TTL: server-side 24h expiry via strftime check in require_auth
- Rate limiting: in-memory 10-ip/5min sliding window on login
- Background task stale is_active: all queries use concrete WHERE id=?1
- Mod validation DoS: 500MB cap, 10k class scan limit, 10k CP entry cap

LOW:
- Logout auth guard: moved into protected route group + CurrentUser param
- Mod orphan race: DB insert before file write
- Backup orphan race: DB insert before ZIP creation
- Template fix: broken Askama == comparisons in edit.html

All fixes compile clean with zero warnings. 10 unit tests pass.

+
+## Vulnerability Pattern Analysis
+
+### 2a. Component Vulnerability Heatmap
+
+The project is a **brand-new codebase** with zero first-party CVEs. The heatmap below is derived from dependency advisory history and architectural analysis:
+
+| Component | Advisory Count (historic) | Risk Factors | Dominant Bug Types |
+|-----------|-------------------------|--------------|--------------------|
+| **`rusqlite`** | 15 (all historic) | Data races (CVE-2020-35866..73), Use-After-Free (CVE-2021-45713..19) | Race conditions, UAF |
+| **`tokio`** | 5 (all historic) | Race conditions, unsoundness | Concurrency bugs |
+| **`h2`** (transitive) | 3 (all fixed by 0.4.4) | CONTINUATION flood, DoS | Resource exhaustion |
+| **`zip`** | 1 (CVE-2025-29787, fixed in 2.3.0) | Path traversal, symlink | Path traversal |
+| **`cookie`** | 2 (both historic, < 0.7.6) | Max-Age DoS, input validation | Input validation |
+| **`tempfile`** | 3 (all historic) | Race conditions, permissions | TOCTOU |
+| **`rand`** | 1 (RUSTSEC-2026-0097, fixed in 0.8.6) | Unsound with custom logger | Unsoundness |
+
+**🔥 High-heat components requiring Phase 3/5 attention:**
+1. **`mods.rs` (480 lines)** — Custom JAR/ZIP parser, class-file constant pool scanning, ZIP extraction. Highest complexity, most attack surface.
+2. **`routes/instances.rs` (782 lines)** — World import/export (ZIP extraction), instance lifecycle, Docker orchestration. Largest single file.
+3. **`auth.rs` (199 lines)** — Session management, password hashing, cookie handling. Custom session cookie parsing (no library).
+4. **`docker.rs` (209 lines)** — Docker API calls with bollard, container creation with user-controlled env vars.
+5. **`rcon.rs` (127 lines)** — Raw TCP protocol implementation, password handling.
+
+### 2b. Bug Type Recurrence
+
+| Bug Class | CWEs | Historic Count | Examples | Recurring? |
+|-----------|------|---------------|----------|------------|
+| **Race condition / TOCTOU** | CWE-362 | 8+ | rusqlite data races, tokio races, tempfile | ⚠️ **Recurring** |
+| **Path traversal** | CWE-22 | 2 | zip (CVE-2025-29787), tower-http (RUSTSEC-2022-0043) | ⚠️ **Recurring** |
+| **Resource exhaustion / DoS** | CWE-400, CWE-770 | 3 | h2 CONTINUATION flood, cookie Max-Age, h2 general | ⚠️ **Recurring** |
+| **Use-after-free** | CWE-416 | 8 | rusqlite UAF, tracing UAF | ⚠️ **Recurring** |
+| **Improper input validation** | CWE-20 | 2 | cookie, zip | — |
+| **Unsoundness** | — | 2 | tokio broadcast, rand | — |
+
+**Key insight**: Path traversal recurs across the dependency tree (zip and tower-http). The project's custom ZIP extraction code (`routes/instances.rs:import_world`) should be audited for the same pattern.
+
+### 2c. Attack Surface Trends
+
+| Input Vector | Where Exploited | Risk Level |
+|-------------|----------------|------------|
+| **Uploaded ZIP/JAR files** | `routes/mods.rs`, `routes/instances.rs` (world import) | 🔴 **Critical** |
+| **HTTP requests** (form data, multipart) | All routes via axum | 🟡 High |
+| **Docker container env vars** | `docker.rs:recreate_container` — user-controlled (version, MOTD, etc.) | 🟡 High |
+| **RCON network protocol** | `rcon.rs` — custom TCP implementation | 🟡 High |
+| **SQL queries via rusqlite** | All DB operations (uses params! macro — safe) | 🟢 Low |
+| **Cookie header parsing** | `auth.rs:require_auth` — manual cookie split | 🟡 Medium |
+| **Template rendering** | Askama templates (compile-time, no injection) | 🟢 Low |
+| **Config file** | `config.toml` parsed via toml crate | 🟢 Low |
+
+**Highest-risk attack surface**: The mod upload/validation pipeline (`routes/mods.rs` + `mods.rs`) accepts arbitrary JAR/ZIP uploads with a 500MB size limit and performs custom bytecode-level class scanning.
+
+### 2d. Patch Quality Signals
+
+No patch-bypass history exists for this project (new codebase, no patched vulnerabilities). However, several **architectural concerns** warrant attention:
+
+1. **`mods.rs` class-file scanner** — Custom constant pool parser (not using a library). Any bug in this parser could lead to mis-validation (accepting client-side mods that crash the server, or rejecting valid server mods). No fuzzing evidence exists.
+
+2. **`auth.rs` cookie session parsing** — Manual `split(';')` + `split_once('=')` parsing of the Cookie header. Equivalent to CWE-172 (Encoding Error). No library cookie parser used despite `cookie` crate being a dependency.
+
+3. **`docker.rs` env injection** — Instance name, MOTD, version, seed, etc. are directly interpolated into Docker container env vars. No sanitization of values that could contain shell-special characters or newlines (env var injection risk).
+
+4. **`rcon.rs` packet parsing** — Custom binary protocol parser with `i32::from_le_bytes` length prefix. Potential for integer underflow/overflow in length handling.

+### Execution Environments
+
+| Environment | Description |
+|-------------|-------------|
+| **Host OS** | Linux (presumed — Docker socket, Unix paths) |
+| **Rust runtime** | Native binary via `tokio` async runtime |
+| **Docker container** | `itzg/minecraft-server` with Java 8/17/21 depending on version |
+| **SQLite** | Embedded database (WAL mode) |
+
+### Highest-Risk Flows (Phase 3 DFD priority)
+
+1. **Mod Upload → Validation → Disk Write** — External attacker-controlled JAR/ZIP → custom bytecode parser → file written to `mods/` directory
+2. **World Import → ZIP Extraction → Disk Write** — Uploaded ZIP → `zip::ZipArchive::by_index` → `enclosed_name()` → file extraction to `world/`
+3. **Instance Create → Docker Container Start** — User-controlled form fields → env var interpolation → Docker API call
+4. **Backup Download → File Read → HTTP Response** — Backup ID → file read from disk → streamed to user (path traversal risk)
+5. **Login → Cookie → Session** — Password verification → session creation → cookie parsing in auth middleware

+|-----------|---------|-------------|------------------------|
+| **axum** | 0.8.9 | Input parsing, multipart handling | HTTP request surface (2c) |
+| **multer** | 3.1.0 | Multipart file upload with 500MB limit | File upload attack surface (2c) |
+| **rusqlite** | 0.40.1 | →historic: data races, UAF | Bug class: race conditions (2b) |
+| **bollard** | 0.17.1 | Docker socket access, container control | Docker API attack surface (2c) |
+| **argon2** | 0.5.3 | Password hashing — credential protection | Auth security (2c) |

+| **axum-extra** | 0.12.6 | Cookie private jar (encryption) | Session security |
+| **rand** | 0.8.7 | RCON password generation | Password strength |
+
+### Key Risk Observations
+
+1. **No regular dependency scanning configured** — No `cargo audit` or `cargo deny` in CI. Relying on manual version choice.
+2. **`htmx.min.js` (vendored)** — Static file served via `tower-http::services::ServeDir`. Should verify integrity of vendored copy.
+3. **`itzg/minecraft-server` Docker images** — External base images with Java runtimes. Image pull happens at runtime; no image hash pinning in code.
+4. **RCON password generation** — Uses `rand::thread_rng()` (CSPRNG) with 16-char alphanumeric charset (~93 bits entropy). Adequate but no periodic rotation.

+Based on pattern analysis:
+
+1. **Phase 3 DFD priorities**:
+   - **Mod upload/validation pipeline** (`routes/mods.rs` + `mods.rs`) — highest complexity, custom bytecode parser
+   - **World import/export** (`routes/instances.rs:import_world`, `export_world`) — ZIP extraction to disk
+   - **Auth middleware** (`auth.rs:require_auth`) — custom cookie parsing without library
+
+2. **Phase 5 deep probe targets**:
+   - **Mod validation bypass** — Can a crafted JAR bypass the class-file scanner? (CWE-22, CWE-180)
+   - **Path traversal in world ZIP extraction** — `zip::ZipArchive::by_index().enclosed_name()` usage
+   - **Docker env var injection** — User-controlled values in container creation
+   - **RCON protocol weaknesses** — Integer handling in packet length parsing
+
+3. **Phase 10 chambers (mandatory attack modes)**:
+   - Path traversal (CWE-22)
+   - Injection (command/env/XML via Docker env)
+   - Deserialization (JAR/ZIP parsing)
+   - Race conditions (SQLite, file operations)
+   - Auth bypass (cookie forging)
+
+4. **Patch-bypass-checker candidates**:
+   - No structural-recurrence candidates (new codebase) — but the ZIP extraction code in both `routes/instances.rs` and `routes/backups.rs` should be compared for consistency

+1. **Full source code review** of all 16 Rust source files (1,540+ lines analyzed)
+2. **Attack surface inventory** — 38 HTTP routes catalogued with entry points, sinks, and trust boundaries
+3. **Backward reasoning** — trace from sinks (file write, RCON command, Docker env, SQL) back to attacker inputs
+4. **Contradiction reasoning** — identify gaps between intended security boundaries and actual code
+5. **Cross-model analysis** — chain multiple low-severity issues into higher-severity attack paths
+6. **Verification** — all findings verified with file:line code evidence via read/grep

+
+---
+
+## Key Findings — Detailed Analysis
+
+### P8-003: Instance Name Path Traversal Chain (CRITICAL)
+
+**The most severe finding.** The instance `name` field is used in 8 different filesystem operations without any sanitization. Rust's `Path::join()` follows `..` components, enabling:
+
+- **Arbitrary directory creation** via `create_dir_all` at instance creation
+- **Arbitrary file write** via mod upload (`fs::write`) and world import (`File::create`)
+- **Arbitrary directory deletion** via `remove_dir_all` at instance deletion
+- **Arbitrary file read** via world export and backup download
+
+The full attack chain:
+1. Create instance with `name=../../../tmp/pwned`
+2. Upload mod/world to write files at `/tmp/pwned/data/mods/evil.so`
+3. Delete instance to remove `/tmp/pwned` directory tree
+
+**Code path:** `src/routes/instances.rs:205` — `Path::join(&form.name)` with no validation → `std::fs::create_dir_all()`
+
+### P8-001: MOTD Docker Environment Injection (HIGH)
+
+The MOTD field is passed directly into Docker container environment variables without newline escaping. Docker treats `\n` in env values as variable delimiters, allowing injection of arbitrary env vars.
+
+**Code path:** `src/docker.rs:128` — `format!("MOTD={}", instance.motd)` → Docker container env → injected vars override security settings like `EULA`, `ONLINE_MODE`.
+
+### P8-002: RCON Command Injection (HIGH)
+
+The `player_action!` macro constructs RCON commands via `format!($command, form.username)` with no sanitization. Spaces, semicolons, and special characters in usernames can inject arbitrary RCON commands.
+
+**Code path:** `src/routes/players.rs:97` — `format!("op {}", form.username)` → `client.send_command_async(cmd)` → Minecraft server console.
+
+### P8-006: Missing CSRF Protection (HIGH)
+
+All 31 POST endpoints lack CSRF tokens. The session cookie uses `SameSite=Lax` which allows cross-site top-level POST navigations. Combined with other findings (path traversal, RCON injection, instance deletion), CSRF enables fully weaponized cross-site attacks.
+
+### P8-009: RCON Password Exposure (HIGH)
+
+The `GET /instances/{id}/edit` endpoint returns `rcon_password` for any instance to any authenticated user. No authorization check beyond `require_auth`.
+
+**Code path:** `src/routes/instances.rs:313` — `rcon_password: row.get(15)?` — rendered in `EditInstanceTemplate`.
+
+### P8-004: Level-Seed Properties Injection (HIGH)
+
+The `seed` field in world regeneration is written to `server.properties` without escaping. Newlines and special characters inject arbitrary Java `.properties` entries.
+
+**Code path:** `src/routes/instances.rs:397` — `format!("level-seed={seed}")` → `std::fs::write(&props_path)`.
+
+---
+
+## Cross-Model Attack Chains
+
+### Chain 1: CSRF + Path Traversal for Full System Compromise
+1. CSRF (P8-006) tricks authenticated admin to create instance with traversed name
+2. Path traversal (P8-003) enables writing arbitrary files outside data directory
+3. Combined impact: full file system write without user interaction
+
+### Chain 2: RCON Password Exposure + Command Injection
+1. Any authenticated user views RCON password (P8-009)
+2. Same user exploits RCON command injection (P8-002) for server compromise
+3. Combined impact: horizontal privilege escalation to Minecraft server operator
+
+### Chain 3: Session Leak + No TTL
+1. Session cookie leaked through any channel (logs, DB backup, etc.)
+2. No server-side TTL (P8-005) means session never expires
+3. POST /logout (P8-007) allows anonymous invalidation of leaked session
+4. Combined impact: indefinite session hijacking window
+
+---
+
+## Coverage Summary
+
+| Entry Point | Finding Coverage | Notes |
+|------------|-----------------|-------|
+| POST /login | P8-006 (CSRF) | No rate limiting finding also relevant |
+| POST /logout | P8-006 (CSRF), P8-007 (Missing Auth) | Not behind require_auth |
+| GET /static/* | None | Safe — static files only |
+| POST /instances/new | P8-003 (Path Traversal), P8-006 (CSRF) | CRITICAL chain |
+| POST /instances/{id}/edit | P8-001 (MOTD injection), P8-006 (CSRF) | Docker env injection path |
+| POST /instances/{id}/delete | P8-003 (Path Traversal), P8-006 (CSRF) | Directory deletion |
+| POST /instances/{id}/activate | P8-001 (MOTD injection chain) | Docker container start |
+| POST /instances/{id}/world/regenerate | P8-004 (Properties Injection), P8-006 (CSRF) | server.properties injection |
+| GET /instances/{id}/edit | P8-009 (RCON password exposure) | Sensitive data leak |
+| POST /players/*/add, /players/*/remove | P8-002 (RCON command injection), P8-006 (CSRF) | 6 endpoints |
+| POST /instances/{id}/mods | P8-003 (Path traversal via mod name), P8-010 (DoS), P8-006 (CSRF) | File write + DoS |
+| POST /instances/{id}/mods/{mid}/delete | P8-003 (Path traversal), P8-006 (CSRF) | File delete |
+| POST /instances/{id}/mods/rescan | P8-010 (DoS), P8-006 (CSRF) | File read + validation |
+| GET /instances/{id}/world/export | P8-003 (Path traversal read) | File read |
+| POST /instances/{id}/world/import | P8-003 (Path traversal write), P8-006 (CSRF) | File write (ZIP) |
+| GET /backups/{id}/download | P8-003 (Path traversal read) | File read |
+| POST /instances/{id}/backups/create | P8-006 (CSRF) | File write |
+| GET /accounts, POST /accounts/* | P8-006 (CSRF) | Superuser operations |
+| POST /change-password | P8-006 (CSRF) | Password change via CSRF |
+| All authenticated routes | P8-005 (No session TTL) | Persistent session hijacking |
+| Session management | P8-005, P8-007 | No TTL, logout without auth |
+
+---
+
+## Missing Coverage / Gaps
+
+1. **No rate limiting** — `POST /login` has no brute-force protection (existing p4-005, not re-drafted here)
+2. **No CSRF on any POST** — universal issue (P8-006)
+3. **Flat authorization model** — any authenticated user can access any instance (by-design for single-user/small-team)
+4. **No audit logging** — no record of state-changing operations (existing p4-017)
+5. **No encryption at rest** — SQLite database unencrypted on disk (existing p4-021)
+6. **No backup restore functionality** — `restore_backup` is a stub (existing p4-024)
+7. **Cookie without Secure flag** — missing when behind HTTPS proxy (existing p4-009)
+
+---
+
+## Recommendations (Priority Order)
+
+1. **CRITICAL: Sanitize instance name** — validate against `^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+$` before filesystem use
+2. **HIGH: Strip newlines from Docker env vars** — sanitize MOTD and all user-controlled fields before Docker env injection
+3. **HIGH: Validate RCON usernames** — restrict to `[a-zA-Z0-9_]` (3-16 chars) before command construction
+4. **HIGH: Add CSRF protection** — SameSite=Strict cookie + CSRF tokens or origin validation
+5. **HIGH: Remove RCON password from edit form** — expose only to superusers
+6. **HIGH: Escape seed value in server.properties** — reject newlines and control characters
+7. **MEDIUM: Add server-side session TTL** — filter sessions by `created_at > datetime('now', '-1 day')`
+8. **MEDIUM: Move logout behind require_auth** — defense-in-depth
+9. **MEDIUM: Add timeout to mod validation** — prevent DoS via crafted JARs
+10. **LOW: Use OsRng for RCON password** — cryptographic PRNG for secrets

+**Key trust boundaries:**
+1. **Public→Protected routes:** session cookie check via `require_auth` middleware (src/auth.rs:55)  
+2. **WebUI→Docker:** local Unix socket — any code running as the webUI user can control containers  
+3. **WebUI→RCON:** localhost TCP — password-protected, but breakable if rcon_password exposed  
+4. **WebUI→Database:** same-process SQLite — no isolation between auth and data ops  
+5. **Mod upload→Filesystem:** validated JAR → instance mods directory (path traversal risk)  
+6. **World import→Filesystem:** ZIP extraction → world directory (path traversal risk)

+                                                 file.enclosed_name()

+```
+**Vulnerability:** `file.enclosed_name()` is used (zip crate's path sanitization), but if the zip entry name starts with `../` and `enclosed_name()` returns `None`, the entry is skipped with `continue`. This mitigates zip slip for standard zip entries — but other path normalization issues could still exist.

+## Attack Surface
+
+### Attacker-Controlled Input Sources
+
+| Source | Entry point | Max size / rate | Risk |
+|--------|------------|-----------------|------|
+| `POST /login` form | `username`, `password` strings | ~4KB per field | Low — auth only |
+| `POST /instances/new` form | `name`, `version`, `seed`, `motd` etc. | Form fields | Medium — SQLite INSERT |
+| `POST /instances/{id}/edit` form | `difficulty`, `gamemode`, `motd` etc. | Form fields | Medium — SQLite UPDATE |
+| `POST /instances/{id}/mods` multipart | `.jar`/`.zip` file bytes, filename | 500MB per field | **High** — file write, class parsing |
+| `POST /instances/{id}/world/import` multipart | `.zip` file bytes | Multipart-limited | **High** — zip extraction |
+| `POST /players/*` forms | usernames via RCON | ~16 chars | Medium — RCON injection |
+| `GET /instances/{id}/world/export` | instance ID from path | N/A | Medium — file read |
+| `GET /backups/{id}/download` | backup ID from path | N/A | Medium — file read |
+| `POST /accounts/create` | `username`, `password` | form fields | Medium — superuser-only |
+
+### Execution Environments
+
+1. **WebUI Rust process** — local user, Docker socket access, SQLite access, filesystem write  
+2. **Docker container** — itzg/minecraft-server, Java process, local network, RCON port  
+3. **Outbound HTTP** — reqwest to Mojang API (no user-controlled URL at present)

+## Key Dependencies
+
+| Dependency | Version | Security role | Known CVEs | Reachability |
+|-----------|---------|---------------|------------|-------------|
+| **axum** | 0.8.9 | HTTP framework, routing, extractors | None recent | Every handler |
+| **argon2** | 0.5.3 | Password hashing (Argon2id) | None — well-vetted | Auth flow only |
+| **rusqlite** | 0.40.1 (bundled) | SQLite — all persistent data | SQLite bundled, no network | Every DB operation |
+| **bollard** | 0.17.1 | Docker Engine API | Low (Docker socket) | Container ops |
+| **zip** | 8.6.0 | ZIP archive parsing/writing | Zip slip in some versions — 8.6.0 has `enclosed_name()` | Mod upload, world import, backups |
+| **multer** | 3.1.0 | Multipart/form-data parser | None recent | Mod upload only |
+| **reqwest** | 0.13.4 | HTTP client to Mojang API | None recent | Version manifest fetch |
+| **cookie** | 0.18.1 | Cookie parsing | None recent | Auth middleware |
+| **axum-extra** | 0.12.6 | Cookie private jar | Not used for signing — feature listed but unused in code | — |
+| **tokio** | 1.52.3 | Async runtime | None recent | Every async operation |
+| **rand** | 0.8.7 | RCON password generation | Std RNG, not crypto-grade | RCON password |
+| **tower-http** | 0.7.0 | Static file serving | None recent | `/static/*` |
+
+**Security-relevant observations:**
+- `rand::thread_rng()` (not `OsRng`) used for RCON password generation — not cryptographic-grade
+- `axum-extra` `cookie-private` feature listed but unused — potential dead feature
+- `zip` 8.6.0 uses `enclosed_name()` which requires explicit check — it IS checked in world import
+
+---
+
+## Framework Contracts and Hidden Control Channels
+
+### Axum Framework Contracts
+
+1. **Request path extraction** — `Path<i64>` extractors in handlers for instance/backup IDs:  
+   - Axum validates that the path segment is a valid integer  
+   - However, ID is used directly in SQL queries (no injection due to type safety of rusqlite params)  
+
+2. **Form extraction** — `axum::Form<T>` deserializes `application/x-www-form-urlencoded` bodies:  
+   - Strings accepted as-is, passed to SQL INSERT/UPDATE via `params![]` macro  
+   - SQL injection prevented by rusqlite's parameterized queries  
+
+3. **Multipart extraction** — manual multer parsing (not axum's built-in `Multipart`):  
+   - Boundary parsed from Content-Type header; `Constraints` limit 500MB  
+   - Filename from `field.file_name()` — **no sanitization** beyond stripping directory with `Path::new(filename).file_name()`  
+
+4. **Extension-based auth** — `require_auth` places `Account` in `request.extensions_mut()`:  
+   - All protected handlers get `CurrentUser` via `FromRequestParts`  
+   - This is a framework-level contract — extensions survive across middleware boundaries  
+
+### Cookie/Hidden Channel Contracts
+
+| Header/Cookie | Set by | Read by | Security property |
+|--------------|--------|---------|-------------------|
+| `Cookie: mcui_session` | `authenticate()` in auth.rs | `require_auth()` middleware | Session identifier |
+| `Content-Type` | Client | Multer parser in mods.rs | Boundary extraction for multipart |
+| User-supplied filename | Client | `field.file_name()` in mods.rs | Written to disk directly |
+
+### Proxy Assumptions
+
+- Server binds to `127.0.0.1:<port>` (localhost-only)  
+- **No TLS** — assumes a reverse proxy (nginx) handles HTTPS termination  
+- `X-Forwarded-*` headers are **not read** anywhere — trust decisions based on direct connection  
+- No CDN, no WAF, no rate limiting in the application  
+
+### Auth Guard Analysis
+
+- **`require_auth` middleware** (src/auth.rs:55): applied to the `protected` router group
+- **Superuser checks**: done **inside handlers** (e.g., `if !account.is_superuser { return Err(Redirect::to("/")); }`)
+- **No re-check** on sub-routes within the protected group — any authenticated user can access all instance/player/backup operations
+- **Logout handler** (`POST /logout`): **NOT behind `require_auth`** — it's registered on the outer Router outside the `protected` group. This means anonymous requests could cause session deletion if they can guess a valid session ID from the cookie header. (Low risk due to session ID being UUID v4 — practically unpredictable.)

+
+## Threat Model
+
+### Assets
+
+| Asset | Description | Storage | Impact if compromised |
+|-------|------------|---------|-----------------------|
+| **Minecraft server instance** | Running Docker container with world, mods, config | Docker + filesystem | Game data loss, server hijack |
+| **World data** | Minecraft saves (chunks, player inventories) | Filesystem (ZIP backups too) | Permanent data loss |
+| **Accounts** | WebUI credentials and sessions | SQLite (Argon2id hashed) | Unauthorized web access |
+| **RCON password** | Auto-generated, per-instance | SQLite (plaintext) + server.properties | Minecraft server control |
+| **Mod files** | Uploaded JARs | Filesystem | Supply chain risk (arbitrary code in JVM) |
+| **Docker socket** | `/var/run/docker.sock` | Host filesystem | Container escape, host compromise |
+| **Config** | Server directory, initial superuser creds | config.toml | Full system access |
+
+### Threat Actors
+
+| Actor | Capability | Motivation |
+|-------|-----------|------------|
+| **Anonymous web attacker** | Can reach localhost:3000 if exposed | Access webUI, break auth, RCE |
+| **Authenticated user** | Valid session; equal access to all instances | Escalate to superuser, exfiltrate data |
+| **Superuser** | Full webUI control | Any action webUI authorizes |
+| **Network-level attacker** | Can reach Docker API, RCON port, Minecraft port | Side-channel or direct attack |
+| **Supply-chain attacker** | Malicious mod JAR | Server-side code execution in Minecraft JVM |
+
+### Attack Scenarios (Prioritized)
+
+| # | Threat | Actor | Vector | Impact | Existing Control | Priority |
+|---|--------|-------|--------|--------|-----------------|----------|
+| T1 | **World import zip slip** | Auth user | ZIP with `../` entries bypasses `enclosed_name()` → write files outside data dir | Filesystem write anywhere webUI user can write | `enclosed_name()` check in world import | **Medium** (mitigated for standard zip slip) |
+| T2 | **Path traversal in mod filename** | Auth user | Upload mod with name `../../cronjob` → write to parent dirs | Arbitrary file write | `file_name()` call strips directory components | **Medium** (partially mitigated) |
+| T3 | **Backup path traversal (download)** | Auth user | Backup filename with path traversal chars in DB | File read outside backup dir | Filename read from DB (stored at insert time) | **Low** |
+| T4 | **Session fixation/logout bypass** | Anonymous | POST /logout can delete sessions without auth middleware | Force logout of legitimate user | UUIDv4 session IDs are unpredictable | **Low** |
+| T5 | **RCON password plaintext in DB** | Auth user/Superuser | Read rcon_password from instances table via edit form | Minecraft server command injection | RCON password stored in DB, returned in edit form | **Medium** |
+| T6 | **Weak RCON password generation** | Network attacker | `rand::thread_rng()` used for 16-char alphanumeric password | RCON brute force | 16 chars alphanumeric = 36^16 space | **Low** |
+| T7 | **No rate limiting on login** | Anonymous | Brute-force login credentials | Account compromise | No rate limiting implemented | **High** |
+| T8 | **No CSRF protection** | Any | Cross-site request forgery on any POST endpoint | State-changing operations without user intent | None — no CSRF token anywhere | **High** |
+| T9 | **Mod JAR parsing denial of service** | Auth user | Upload crafted JAR that causes OOM or hangs in class-file scanner (constant pool loops) | Server DoS | No timeout on validate_mod() | **Medium** |
+| T10 | **Large file upload DoS** | Auth user | 500MB max per field, but no per-request total limit | Memory exhaustion | 500MB per-field limit, but multipart streams | **Medium** |

+
+## CodeQL Structural Analysis
+
+CodeQL was not available on this system. Structural extraction was performed manually using grep + read.
+
+**Database:** Not built (codeql CLI not installed). Artifacts in `piolium/codeql-artifacts/` are manually constructed.
+
+**Entry points found:** 31 (all HTTP route handlers) — see `piolium/codeql-artifacts/entry-points.json`
+
+**Sinks found:** 14 categories — see `piolium/codeql-artifacts/sinks.json`
+
+**Source-to-sink traces:** 12 documented flows — see `piolium/codeql-artifacts/call-graph-slices.json` and `piolium/attack-surface/source-sink-flows-all-severities.md`
+
+Key flows by severity:
+- **Critical:** Instance name path traversal (flow-1)
+- **High:** RCON command injection (flow-4, flow-5), No session TTL (hidden control channel), No CSRF
+- **Medium:** Mod filename special chars (flow-3), World import ZIP (flow-6), Backup path (flow-7), Docker env injection (flow-11), Seed injection (flow-12)
+- **Low:** Content-type parsing, Static file serving, Cookie parsing, Template errors
+
+---
+
+## SAST Enrichment
+
+### Candidate Classification
+
+All 26 candidate matches from the candidate scan were in `static/htmx.min.js` — a minified third-party JavaScript library (htmx v2.x). All candidates are **false positives** from the minified file.
+
+| Finding | Classification | Attacker Control | Boundary | CodeQL Reachability | Verdict |
+|---------|---------------|-----------------|----------|-------------------|---------|
+| dynamic-code-execution (x8, htmx.min.js) | env/tooling-only | N/A (minified 3rd-party lib) | N/A | no-slice | **DROP** — minified 3rd-party lib, not project code |
+| command-execution (x4, htmx.min.js) | env/tooling-only | N/A (minified 3rd-party lib) | N/A | no-slice | **DROP** — minified 3rd-party lib, not project code |
+| path-traversal-file-access (x7, htmx.min.js) | env/tooling-only | N/A (minified 3rd-party lib) | N/A | no-slice | **DROP** — minified 3rd-party lib, not project code |
+| unsafe-html-or-template (x1, htmx.min.js) | env/tooling-only | N/A (minified 3rd-party lib) | N/A | no-slice | **DROP** — minified 3rd-party lib, not project code |
+| hidden-control-channel (x6, htmx.min.js) | env/tooling-only | N/A (minified 3rd-party lib) | N/A | no-slice | **DROP** — minified 3rd-party lib, not project code |
+
+### True Findings Identified Through Manual Analysis
+
+All true findings were identified through manual structural analysis of the Rust source code. See `piolium/findings-draft/` for 30 drafted findings.
+
+### Entry Points Not in Phase 3 DFD Slices
+
+All DFD/CFD entry points from Phase 3 were covered. Additional unauthenticated paths not explicitly listed in Phase 3 DFD slices:
+- `GET /static/*` — static file serving (no auth)
+- `POST /logout` — logout without auth middleware
+
+### Unmodeled High-Risk Flows
+
+- **Docker environment variable injection** (flow-11) — user-controlled instance settings pass into Docker container env without sanitization
+- **Level-seed injection into server.properties** (flow-12) — seed written to config file without escaping
+

+
+## Domain Attack Research
+
+### Domain: ZIP Archive Handling
+
+**Identified via:** `zip` crate dependency (8.6.0), world import (ZIP extraction), mod upload (nested JAR-in-ZIP), backup creation/restore
+
+**Known attack classes:**
+
+| Attack | Description | Detection strategy | Relevance |
+|--------|-------------|-------------------|-----------|
+| **Zip Slip** | Archive entry name with `../` writes outside target dir | Check all `file.enclosed_name()` calls + fallback paths | High — world import and mod ZIP both extract entries |
+| **Zip Bomb** | Tiny archive expands to gigabytes; nested zip | Size limits, streaming extraction, recursion depth | Medium — 500MB stream limit partially mitigates |
+| **Uncontrolled recursion depth** | ZIP within ZIP within ZIP | Recursion depth tracking in process_zip_upload | High — recursion via process_jar_upload→validate_mod has no depth limit |
+| **Symlink traversal** | ZIP entry creates symlink outside target dir | Check zip crate version for symlink handling | Low — zip crate doesn't create symlinks by default |
+| **Empty filename / directory traversal via encoding** | Different OS path normalization of entry names | Test with `\` vs `/` on different platforms | Low — Rust std::fs on Linux doesn't do special normalization |
+
+**Custom SAST targets:**
+
+| Attack pattern | Rule type | Source/sink or pattern | Priority |
+|---------------|-----------|----------------------|----------|
+| Zip entry path not using `enclosed_name()` | Semgrep | `archive.by_index(i)` → `.name()` but no `enclosed_name()` | High |
+| Zip extraction without size limit | Semgrep | `archive.by_index(i)` → `read_to_end()` without size check | Medium |
+| Recursive zip extraction no depth limit | CodeQL | Recursive call to extract function without depth counter | High |
+
+**Manual review checklist:**
+- [ ] All ZIP extraction uses `enclosed_name()` — checked in world import (src/routes/instances.rs:import_world)
+- [ ] Mod ZIP extraction (src/routes/mods.rs:process_zip_upload) — only extracts `.jar` entries, reads them into memory
+- [ ] No depth limit on nested ZIPs inside mod upload (process_zip_upload → process_jar_upload → validate_mod — validate_mod opens the JAR as a ZIP)
+
+### Domain: File Upload (Mod Upload)
+
+**Identified via:** multer dependency, multipart handler for `.jar`/`.zip` files
+
+**Known attack classes:**
+
+| Attack | Description | Detection strategy | Relevance |
+|--------|-------------|-------------------|-----------|
+| **Unrestricted file upload** | Any file extension accepted | Check file extension filtering — `.jar`/`.zip` only | High — only JAR/ZIP accepted |
+| **Path traversal via filename** | `../../evil.so` as upload filename | Filename sanitized via `file_name()` | High — partially sanitized |
+| **Large file DoS** | 500MB upload exhausts memory | Multer size limit configured at 500MB | Medium — 500MB is high |
+| **Content-type not validated** | No MIME type check | No content-type validation on upload | Medium — relies on extension |
+
+**Manual review checklist:**
+- [ ] Filename sanitized with `Path::new(filename).file_name()` in process_jar_upload — YES, directory components stripped
+- [ ] File extension validated before processing — YES, `.jar`/`.zip`/`.JAR`/`.ZIP` only
+- [ ] Uploaded file size validated — YES, 500MB per-field limit via multer Constraints
+- [ ] File written before or after validation — AFTER validation (accept/reject)
+- [ ] Rejected files are NOT written to disk — Correct; only `result.accepted` files are written
+
+### Domain: Session Management
+
+**Identified via:** Custom cookie-based sessions, UUID v4 session IDs
+
+**Known attack classes:**
+
+| Attack | Description | Detection strategy | Relevance |
+|--------|-------------|-------------------|-----------|
+| **Session fixation** | Attacker sets known session ID before login | Session ID regenerated on login (new UUID issued) | Low — new UUID per login |
+| **Session not invalidated on logout** | Server-side session persists | Logout handler deletes session from DB | High — logout DOES delete from DB |
+| **No absolute session timeout** | Sessions valid indefinitely | No `expires_at` or `max-age` check on server side | **High** — sessions stored without TTL |
+| **Missing Secure flag** | Cookie sent over HTTP | Cookie set with HttpOnly but NOT Secure | Medium — behind nginx but not marked |
+| **CSRF via session cookie** | Cookie sent automatically | No SameSite=Strict (only SameSite=Lax) | Medium — POST operations still protected by Lax for same-site |
+| **Brute-force session ID** | Predictable session IDs | UUIDv4 is random | Low — 122 bits of entropy |
+
+**Manual review checklist:**
+- [ ] Session ID regenerated on login — YES (UUIDv4 on each login)
+- [ ] Server-side session deletion on logout — YES (DELETE FROM sessions WHERE id = ?1)
+- [ ] Absolute timeout enforced — **NO** — no `expires_at` column or check
+- [ ] Cookie flags: HttpOnly=YES, Secure=NO, SameSite=Lax=YES
+- [ ] Max-age=86400 (24h) but no server-side enforcement after that
+
+### Domain: RCON Protocol
+
+**Identified via:** Custom TCP client to 127.0.0.1:25575
+
+**Known attack classes:**
+
+| Attack | Description | Detection strategy | Relevance |
+|--------|-------------|-------------------|-----------|
+| **Command injection via username** | Unsanitized username sent in RCON command | Username from form → `format!("whitelist add {}", form.username)` | **Medium** — username contains no shell chars but could inject RCON commands via spaces/semicolons |
+| **RCON password exposure** | Plaintext password in DB and edit form | Stored as `rcon_password` in instances table | **High** — any authenticated user can see it |
+| **RCON man-in-the-middle** | No TLS on RCON connection | Localhost only, plain TCP | Low — localhost only |
+| **Authentication replay** | RCON auth packet capture | No session binding | Low — per-instance random password |
+
+**Manual review checklist:**
+- [ ] Username validated for RCON safety — NO — `format!("whitelist add {}", form.username)` — no sanitization on username
+- [ ] RCON password generation uses crypto RNG — **NO** — `rand::thread_rng()` used (not `OsRng`)
+- [ ] RCON password accessible to users — **YES** — returned in edit form via `rcon_password` field
+
+### Domain: ZIP Slip — Mod Nested ZIP Extraction
+
+**Identified via:** process_zip_upload in src/routes/mods.rs extracts JARs from user-supplied ZIPs
+
+**Attack class:** Recursive extraction with no depth limit — a ZIP containing a JAR (which is also a ZIP) is opened by `validate_mod` which calls `ZipArchive::new` on the extracted bytes.
+
+**Manual review checklist:**
+- [ ] Recursive extraction depth limited — **NO** — no depth counter in process_zip_upload → process_jar_upload → validate_mod
+- [ ] Size of extracted JAR bytes bounded before passing to validate_mod — bounded by multer, but nested extraction may allocate
+
+---
+
+## Phase 4 CodeQL Extraction Targets
+
+| DFD Slice | Source type | Sink kind | File:line | Rationale |
+|-----------|------------|-----------|-----------|-----------|
+| Mod upload file write | RemoteFlowSource | file-write | src/routes/mods.rs:98 (`std::fs::write`) | Attacker-controlled filename → arbitrary file write |
+| World import ZIP extraction | RemoteFlowSource | file-write | src/routes/instances.rs:210 (`std::fs::File::create`) | ZIP entry path → file creation |
+| Backup download path | RemoteFlowSource | file-read | src/routes/backups.rs:106 (`std::fs::read`) | Backup ID from DB → file read |
+| Login username | RemoteFlowSource | sql-execution | src/auth.rs:45 (`query_row`) | String from form → SQL query (parametrized) |
+| Create instance name | RemoteFlowSource | sql-execution | src/routes/instances.rs:119 (`execute`) | Name from form → SQL INSERT |
+| Mod upload filename | RemoteFlowSource | path-traversal | src/routes/mods.rs:187 (`mods_dir.join(&safe_name)`) | Stripped but could still contain special chars |
+| Player action username | RemoteFlowSource | command-execution | src/routes/players.rs:94 (`format!($command, form.username)`) | Username → RCON command string |
+
+---
+
+## Spec Gap Candidates
+
+No formal specs or RFCs are implemented by this project. The application implements:
+1. **RCON protocol** (Minecraft Remote Console) — ad hoc binary protocol, not formally specified, but follows Minecraft community convention
+2. **Argon2id password hashing** (via `argon2` crate) — follows RFC 9106
+3. **UUID v4** (via `uuid` crate) — follows RFC 4122
+4. **`.properties` file parsing** — Java convention, ad hoc implementation in src/properties.rs
+
+**Gap:**
+- The RCON implementation (src/rcon.rs) follows Minecraft protocol but has no nonce or bound authentication — classic RCON vulnerability where any authenticated session can issue any command
+- No explicit rate limiting spec — none implemented
+- No session time-out spec — none enforced server-side
+
+---
+
+## Known False-Positive Sources
+
+None identified — INFO.md was not present.
+
+---
+
+## Out-of-Scope Paths
+
+- `minecraft/` — contains actual runtime data for a Minecraft server instance (world, logs, mods, configs). These are generated runtime artifacts, not source code.
+- `target/` — Rust build artifacts
+- `.git/` — VCS data
+- `piolium/` — audit artifacts
+
+---
+
+## Coverage Gaps
+
+1. **No CSRF protection** — all POST endpoints are vulnerable to cross-site request forgery
+2. **No rate limiting** — login endpoint, mod upload, any POST form
+3. **No session TTL enforcement** — server never checks `created_at` on sessions
+4. **No audit logging** — no record of who performed what action (except RCON commands logged via tracing)
+5. **No input validation for RCON username** — could contain spaces or special RCON-parsed characters
+6. **No backup restore implementation** — `restore_backup` handler returns a redirect without performing any restore
+7. **No encryption at rest** — SQLite DB unencrypted on disk
+8. **No API key or token auth** — only cookie-based session auth
+
+## State & Concurrency Audit
+
+- State-holding entities catalogued: 10 (across 5 tables: accounts, sessions, instances, mods, backups)
+- Concurrency primitives observed: `Arc<Mutex<Connection>>` (per-statement serialisation, no transaction boundaries), SQLite WAL mode
+- Idempotency infrastructure: **absent** — no idempotency keys, no dedup, no request ID storage
+- Drafts filed: 6 (split by class: 3 TOCTOU, 1 state-machine-violation, 1 idempotency, 1 read-modify-write)
+- See `piolium/attack-surface/state-concurrency-summary.md` for full catalogue
+
+## Cross-Service Taint Propagation
+
+- Services analysed: 1 (single-process Rust/axum server — `src/main.rs` only)
+- Edges stitched: 0 — no inter-service edges detected
+- Coverage gaps: N/A
+- Drafts filed: 0
+
+Skipped — single-service project; the only data flows cross boundaries to external infrastructure (Docker daemon via Unix socket, Minecraft server via RCON TCP, SQLite file, filesystem) which are not deployable services within this repo.

+## 3. Attacker-Controlled Input Sources (By Category)
+
+### 3a. Form Fields (application/x-www-form-urlencoded)
+| Field | Handler(s) | Max Size | Validation | Risk |
+|-------|-----------|----------|------------|------|
+| `username` | authenticate, player actions, create_account, set_password | ~64KB | None (SQL param prevents injection) | LOW (SQL safe), **HIGH** (RCON injection in player actions) |
+| `password` | authenticate, change_password, create_account | ~64KB | Argon2id hashed | LOW |
+| `name` | create_instance | ~64KB | **NONE** | **CRITICAL** — used in fs::create_dir_all, stored in DB, used in remove_dir_all |
+| `seed` | create_instance, regenerate_world | ~64KB | **NONE** — written to server.properties | **MEDIUM** — properties injection |
+| `motd` | create_instance, edit_instance | ~64KB | **NONE** — passed to Docker env | **HIGH** — Docker env injection |
+| `version` | create_instance | ~64KB | **NONE** — passed to Docker env | MEDIUM |
+| `difficulty` / `gamemode` / `max_players` | create_instance, edit_instance | i32 | Range limited | MEDIUM |
+| `memory_mb` | create_instance, edit_instance | i32 | 512..max_memory_mb | LOW |
+| `server_type` | create_instance | ~64KB | CHECK constraint in SQL | LOW (DB enforced) |
+| `level_type` | create_instance | ~64KB | Default "DEFAULT" | MEDIUM — Docker env |
+| `pvp` | create_instance, edit_instance | ~8 chars | Checkbox (Some("on") | LOW |
+| `world_source` | create_instance | ~64KB | CHECK constraint in SQL | LOW |
+
+### 3b. Multipart File Uploads
+| Field | Handler | Max Size | Validation | Risk |
+|-------|---------|----------|------------|------|
+| File bytes (.jar) | upload_mod | 500MB per field | JAR metadata validation + class scan | **HIGH** — file write |
+| File bytes (.zip) | upload_mod | 500MB per field | ZIP → extract .jar → JAR validation | **HIGH** — file write, nested ZIP |
+| File bytes (.zip) | import_world | Multipart stream | `enclosed_name()` check | **HIGH** — world file write, zip slip edge cases |
+| Filename (from Content-Disposition) | upload_mod | ~255 chars | `file_name()` strips dir components | **MEDIUM** — special chars preserved |
+| Content-Type / boundary | upload_mod | ~255 chars | **NONE** — directly parsed for multer | **LOW** — multer handles internally |
+
+### 3c. Path Parameters
+| Parameter | Handler(s) | Validation | Risk |
+|-----------|-----------|------------|------|
+| `id` (i64) | All /instances/{id}/*, /backups/{id}/* | Axum Path<i64> (integer only) | LOW — SQL uses params |
+| `instance_id` (i64) | delete_mod | Axum Path<(i64, i64)> | LOW |
+| `mod_id` (i64) | delete_mod | Axum Path<(i64, i64)> | LOW |
+
+### 3d. Cookie / Header Sources
+| Source | Handler | What It Provides | Risk |
+|--------|---------|-----------------|------|
+| `Cookie: mcui_session` | require_auth (all protected routes) | Session ID → Account | **MEDIUM** — no server-side TTL |
+| `Cookie: mcui_session` | logout | Session ID for deletion | **LOW** — missing auth guard |
+| `Content-Type: boundary=` | upload_mod | Multipart parsing boundary | **LOW** |

+| `std::fs::create_dir_all(&instance_dir)` | src/routes/instances.rs:205 | `form.name` (user input) | **NONE** — `Path::join` traverses on `..` |
+| `std::fs::write(&dest, bytes)` | src/routes/mods.rs:98 | `safe_name` (filename from upload) | Partial — `file_name()` strips dir |
+| `std::fs::File::create(&out_path)` | src/routes/instances.rs:210 | `file.enclosed_name()` (ZIP entry path) | Partial — `enclosed_name()` checks |
+| `std::fs::File::create(&backup_path)` | src/routes/backups.rs:72 | `filename` (timestamp-based) | LOW — controlled by app |
+| `std::fs::write(&props_path, ...)` | src/routes/instances.rs:396 | `form.seed` (user input) | **NONE** — content injection |
+| `std::fs::remove_dir_all(&instance_dir)` | src/routes/instances.rs:392-393 | `name` from DB (originally user input) | **NONE** |
+| `std::fs::remove_dir_all(&world_dir)` | src/routes/instances.rs:421 | Instance name from DB | Partial |
+| `std::fs::remove_file(&mod_path)` | src/routes/mods.rs:226 | `filename` from DB | Partial |
+
+### 4b. Filesystem Read Sinks
+| Sink | File:Line | Data Source | Risk |
+|------|-----------|-------------|------|
+| `std::fs::read(&backup_path)` | src/routes/backups.rs:106 | `filename` from DB | **MEDIUM** — filename from DB could be traversed |
+| `std::fs::read_dir(&data_dir)` | src/routes/backups.rs:68 | Instance name from DB | LOW |
+| `std::fs::read_to_string(&props_path)` | src/routes/instances.rs:386 | Instance name from DB | LOW |
+| `std::fs::read_dir(&mods_dir)` | src/routes/mods.rs:175 | Instance name from DB | LOW |
+| `std::fs::read(&path)` | src/routes/mods.rs:183 | File path from read_dir | LOW |
+
+### 4c. RCON Command Sinks
+| Sink | File:Line | Data Source | Command Template | Risk |
+|------|-----------|-------------|-----------------|------|
+| `client.send_command_async(cmd)` | src/routes/players.rs:97 | `form.username` | `format!("whitelist add {}", form.username)` | **HIGH** — command injection |
+| `client.send_command_async(cmd)` | src/routes/players.rs:97 | `form.username` | `format!("op {}", form.username)` | **HIGH** |
+| `client.send_command_async(cmd)` | src/routes/players.rs:97 | `form.username` | `format!("ban {}", form.username)` | **HIGH** |
+| `client.send_command_async("seed".into())` | src/routes/instances.rs:153 | Hardcoded "seed" | `"seed"` | LOW |
+| `client.send_command_async("list".into())` | src/routes/instances.rs:251 | Hardcoded "list" | `"list"` | LOW |
+
+### 4d. Docker Control Sinks
+| Sink | File:Line | Data Source | Risk |
+|------|-----------|-------------|------|
+| `docker.start_container(&instance)` | src/routes/instances.rs:235 | Full Instance struct | **HIGH** — all settings go to Docker env |
+| `docker.stop_container()` | src/routes/instances.rs:195 | None | LOW |
+| `recreate_container()` | src/docker.rs:62 | `instance.name`, `instance.motd`, all settings | **HIGH** — env injection |
+| `env_strings` construction | src/docker.rs:87-113 | `instance.version`, `instance.motd`, `instance.rcon_password`, etc. | **HIGH** — no escaping |
+
+### 4e. SQL Query Sinks
+All SQL queries use `rusqlite::params![]` macro which provides parameterized queries. SQL injection is not feasible.
+
+### 4f. Template Rendering Sinks
+| Sink | File:Line | Data | Risk |
+|------|-----------|------|------|
+| `template.render().unwrap_or_default()` | Various | User-controlled strings (name, motd, etc.) | **LOW** — Askama is compile-time template engine, no XSS injection possible |
+
+---
+
+## 5. Hidden Control Channels
+
+| Channel | File:Line | Processing | What It Controls | Security Concern |
+|---------|-----------|-----------|-----------------|-----------------|
+| `Cookie: mcui_session` value | src/auth.rs:107 | Raw `split(';')` then `split_once('=')` | Identity (session ID) | Naive cookie parsing, no OWS stripping per RFC 6265. Cookie value with `=` or `;` could confuse parsing |
+| `Content-Type: boundary=` | src/routes/mods.rs:141-148 | Custom parsing: `split(';')` → `strip_prefix("boundary=")` → `trim_matches('"')` | Multer multipart boundary | No validation on boundary value; multer validates internally but custom extraction may produce empty boundary |
+| Instance properties → Docker env | src/docker.rs:87-113 | Direct `format!()` calls | Docker container environment | **No escaping** — newlines in MOTD or seed can inject arbitrary env vars |
+| Instance name → filesystem path | src/routes/instances.rs:205 | `server_directory.join("instances").join(&form.name)` | Filesystem paths | **No sanitization** — `..` in name causes directory traversal |
+| RCON password from DB → rendered HTML | src/routes/instances.rs:313 | `row.get(15)` (rcon_password) | Exposed to all authenticated users | Any authenticated user can see the RCON password for any instance |
+| Seed → server.properties | src/routes/instances.rs:386-397 | Direct `format!("level-seed={seed}")` | server.properties content | **No escaping** — can inject arbitrary properties lines |
+| Username → RCON command | src/routes/players.rs:93-97 | `format!("whitelist add {}", form.username)` | Minecraft server state | **No sanitization** — can inject arbitrary RCON commands |
+
+---
+
+## 6. Exploit-Relevant Paths (Verified with Code Evidence)
+
+### X1: Instance Name Path Traversal → Arbitrary Directory Write
+```
+POST /instances/new → CreateInstanceForm.name = "../../../tmp/evil"
+→ src/routes/instances.rs:205: std::fs::create_dir_all(server_dir/instances/../../../tmp/evil/data)
+→ SQL INSERT at line 119 with name stored as-is
+→ Later: GET /instances/{id}/edit → edit_form reads name from DB
+→ Later: POST /instances/{id}/delete → remove_dir_all(server_dir/instances/../../../tmp/evil)
+```
+**Evidence:** `Path::join` on user-controlled `form.name` at line 173. No sanitization on name before `create_dir_all` at line 205.
+
+### X2: RCON Command Injection via Player Username
+```
+POST /players/op/add → PlayerAction.username = "attacker; op injected_player"
+→ src/routes/players.rs:93: format!("op {}", form.username)
+→ src/routes/players.rs:97: client.send_command_async("op attacker; op injected_player")
+```
+**Evidence:** `player_action!` macro at line 89 generates direct format string. No sanitization, no validation of username characters.
+
+### X3: MOTD Docker Environment Injection
+```
+POST /instances/{id}/edit → EditInstanceForm.motd = "hello\nEULA=FALSE\nONLINE_MODE=true"
+→ SQL UPDATE at line 186 (stored in DB)
+→ POST /instances/{id}/activate → reads Instance struct
+→ src/docker.rs:103: format!("MOTD={}", instance.motd) → env_strings.push("MOTD=hello\nEULA=FALSE\nONLINE_MODE=true")
+→ Docker container env includes injected vars
+```
+**Evidence:** `format!("MOTD={}", instance.motd)` at src/docker.rs:103. No escaping of newlines or special characters.
+
+### X4: Level-Seed Injection into server.properties
+```
+POST /instances/{id}/world/regenerate → RegenerateWorldForm.seed = "123\nlevel-type=FLAT\ngamerule=doDaylightCycle=false\n"
+→ src/routes/instances.rs:397: format!("level-seed={seed}")
+→ Written to server.properties via line replacement (line 390-393)
+→ Injected lines become new properties
+```
+**Evidence:** Line 397: `new_lines.push(format!("level-seed={seed}"));` No escaping. Java `.properties` format treats newline-separated lines as separate entries.
+
+### X5: Mod Filename Path Traversal (Partially Mitigated)
+```
+POST /instances/{id}/mods → multipart file with filename "../../../tmp/evil.jar"
+→ src/routes/mods.rs:98: process_jar_upload → Path::new(filename).file_name()
+→ "evil.jar" preserved, "../.." stripped by file_name()
+→ Mitigation: streps directory components BUT unsafe write to mods_dir/evil.jar
+```
+**Evidence:** `safe_name` derived from `file_name()` at line 96, then `mods_dir.join(&safe_name)` at line 98.
+
+### X6: No Server-Side Session TTL
+```
+POST /login → sets cookie Max-Age=86400 (24h)
+src/auth.rs:108-115: require_auth middleware executes:
+  "SELECT ... FROM sessions s JOIN accounts a ON s.account_id = a.id
+   WHERE s.id = ?1"
+  No "AND s.created_at > datetime('now', '-1 day')" filter
+→ Sessions persist indefinitely in DB
+```
+**Evidence:** Session query at src/auth.rs:113 has no time-based filter. Session ID from leaked cookie works forever.
+
+### X7: No CSRF Protection on Any POST Endpoint
+```
+All POST handlers: No token validation, no origin/referer check, no SameSite=Strict
+→ CSRF on: /logout, /instances/new, /instances/{id}/delete, /players/op/add, etc.
+```
+**Evidence:** No CSRF middleware in src/routes/mod.rs. Cookie has SameSite=Lax (not Strict). All POST operations lack CSRF tokens.
+
+### X8: POST /logout Missing Auth Guard
+```
+POST /logout registered on outer Router NOT behind require_auth
+→ src/auth.rs:130-152: Reads Cookie header, extracts session ID, DELETEs from DB
+→ No authentication required for the request
+```
+**Evidence:** src/routes/mod.rs:20 registers logout on outer Router, before `.merge(protected)` at line 33.
+
+### X9: RCON Password Exposed to All Authenticated Users
+```
+GET /instances/{id}/edit → edit_form handler
+→ src/routes/instances.rs:313: rcon_password: row.get(15)?
+→ Rendered in HTML template (EditInstanceTemplate)
+→ Any authenticated user can see RCON password for any instance
+```
+**Evidence:** SELECT query at line 301 includes `rcon_password`. No superuser or ownership check before rendering.
+
+### X10: Weak RCON Password Generation
+```
+src/routes/instances.rs:523-529: generate_rcon_password()
+→ rand::thread_rng() (not OsRng/crypto RNG)
+→ 36^16 space (lowercase alphanumeric)
+```
+**Evidence:** `rand::thread_rng()` at line 524 is not cryptographically secure. 62^16 would be stronger.
+
+### X11: Docker Env Variables Set Without Sanitization (Multiple)
+ALL instance fields injected into Docker container env without sanitization:
+- `VERSION={version}` (src/docker.rs:93)
+- `MAX_PLAYERS={max_players}` (src/docker.rs:95)
+- `DIFFICULTY={difficulty}` (src/docker.rs:96)
+- `RCON_PASSWORD={rcon_password}` (src/docker.rs:109)
+- `MOTD={motd}` (src/docker.rs:103)
+- `LEVEL_TYPE={level_type}` (src/docker.rs:111)
+- `LEVEL_SEED={seed}` (src/docker.rs:116)
+- `GAMEMODE={gamemode}` (src/docker.rs:112)
+
+**Evidence:** src/docker.rs:87-116 — All `format!()` calls with direct `instance.*` values. No escaping.
+
+### X12: Backup Restore is No-Op (Data Loss Risk)
+```
+POST /backups/{id}/restore → restore_backup handler
+→ src/routes/backups.rs:88-96: Looks up backup in DB → redirects
+→ NO actual file restoration performed
+```
+**Evidence:** Handler at line 88 does SELECT then returns Redirect. No file copy/restore operations.
+
+### X13: Mod Validation DoS via Crafted JAR
+```
+POST /instances/{id}/mods → upload crafted JAR with malicious constant pool
+→ src/mods.rs:120: ZipArchive::new(data)
+→ src/mods.rs:185: scan_single_class(data) — walks constant pool
+→ No timeout, no recursion depth limit, no size limits on class files
+→ Crafted constant pool (e.g., giant CONSTANT_Utf8 entries) could cause OOM
+```
+**Evidence:** Loop at line 173 (`while i < cp_count`) has no iteration limit beyond cp_count. No bounds on CONSTANT_Utf8 length.
+
+### X14: Recursive ZIP Extraction Without Depth Limit
+```
+POST /instances/{id}/mods → upload ZIP containing JAR (which is also a ZIP)
+→ src/routes/mods.rs:131: process_zip_upload → extracts JAR bytes
+→ src/routes/mods.rs:149: process_jar_upload → validate_mod
+→ src/mods.rs:120: ZipArchive::new(data) — re-opens JAR as ZIP
+→ No depth counter; possible infinite recursion
+```
+**Evidence:** process_zip_upload calls process_jar_upload which calls validate_mod which opens the JAR as ZIP. No depth tracking.
+

+
+---
+
+## Security-Relevant Diffs (Per Commit)
+
+### Commit `ae7ef10` — Initial Authentication System
+
+**What was introduced:**
+- Argon2 password hashing + verification
+- Session-based auth with UUID v4 session IDs
+- HttpOnly + SameSite=Lax cookie (max-age 86400s)
+- Superuser guard on account management routes
+- `require_auth` middleware applied to all protected routes
+
+**Potential bypass vectors evaluated:**
+
+| Vector | Assessment |
+|--------|------------|
+| Session prediction | UUID v4 is cryptographically random; no predictability. **Sound.** |
+| Cookie theft via XSS | HttpOnly prevents JS access. But no `Secure` flag → cookie sent in cleartext over HTTP. **Bypassable** — network-level theft possible on LAN/public wifi. |
+| Session fixation | New UUID generated on every login. No way to pre-set session ID. **Sound.** |
+| SQL injection in session lookup | Uses parameterized queries. **Sound.** |
+| Timing attack on password | Argon2 constant-time comparison. **Sound.** |
+| Brute force | No rate limiting on `/login` endpoint. **Bypassable.** |
+| Missing Secure flag | Cookie lacks `Secure`; SameSite=Lax helps but not on first request. **Bypassable.** |
+
+**Verdict: Relocated** — the auth primitive is sound in isolation, but the missing `Secure` flag and absent rate limiting shift the attack surface to network interception and brute force.
+
+---
+
+### Commit `9ad52d0` — World Import (ZIP extraction)
+
+**What was introduced:**
+- `import_world()` — multipart ZIP upload → extracted to `data/world/`
+- `export_world()` — directory zipped and streamed to browser
+- `regenerate_world()` — deletes world, rewrites `server.properties`
+
+**Security controls in import_world:**
+- `file.enclosed_name()` from the `zip` crate prevents Zip Slip (path traversal)
+
+**Potential bypass vectors:**
+
+| Vector | Assessment |
+|--------|------------|
+| Zip Slip via symlink | `enclosed_name()` rejects entries whose path escapes the target dir. **Sound.** |
+| Arbitrary file overwrite | Only files within `world_dir` can be written. **Sound.** |
+| Zip bomb | No size limit on uploaded field. `bytes().await` loads entire upload into memory. **Bypassable** — OOM denial of service. |
+| World seed manipulation | `regenerate_world()` writes user-supplied seed to `server.properties` without validation of seed content (e.g., newlines). Could inject extra properties. **Bypassable** — property injection. |
+
+**Specific bypass — property injection via seed:**
+```rust
+// In regenerate_world:
+let seed = form.seed.unwrap_or_default();
+// ...
+new_lines.push(format!("level-seed={seed}"));
+```
+A seed containing newlines (`level-seed=123\nmax-players=999`) injects additional properties.
+
+**Verdict: Bypassable** — property injection via seed field; no upload size limits.
+
+---
+
+### Commit `ce30a87` — Path Safety via `file_name()`
+
+**What was introduced:**
+- Backup creation now uses `path.file_name()` to get basename before adding to ZIP
+- Removed dead `container_status()` code
+- RCON readiness polling (waits up to 60s for server to respond)
+
+**Security-relevant change:**
+The switch to `file_name()` prevents path traversal in backup content (files inside `data/` are only stored by basename):
+```rust
+// Before (ae7ef10):
+if let Some(name) = path.file_name() { ... }
+
+// After (ce30a87 — same pattern, already present)
+```
+
+This was already safe in the initial commit — no change. The commit just removed unused template fields and the `ContainerStatus` enum.
+
+**Verdict: Not a security fix.** No bypass applicable.
+
+---
+
+### Commit `74d2ada` — Mod Validation Engine
+
+**What was introduced:**
+- `src/mods.rs` — two-layer mod validation (metadata + class-file constant-pool scan)
+- `src/routes/mods.rs` — CRUD routes for mod upload, rescan, delete
+- Mods table in DB
+- Whitelist enable/disable checkbox on edit page
+- Dynamic Java image tag based on MC version
+- Session cookie debug logging
+
+**Mod validation policy:**
+- Only mods that **explicitly declare** themselves client-only in metadata are rejected
+- Class-file scanning is informational only — never causes rejection
+- Many Forge mods that work on servers reference `net/minecraft/client/...` (rendering/GUI)
+
+**Potential bypass vectors:**
+
+| Vector | Assessment |
+|--------|------------|
+| Malicious mod upload | No signature verification, no integrity check. Any server-capable mod with malicious code is accepted. **Bypassable by design** — the validation only catches honest client-only declarations. |
+| Metadata spoofing | A server-side malicious mod declaring `side=CLIENT` in `mods.toml` would be **rejected** even though it works on servers. But a server-side malicious mod with `side=BOTH` or no metadata sails through. **Sound for the declared policy.** |
+| Class scan evasion | Mod obfuscation that doesn't reference `net/minecraft/server/...` could bypass detection, but the scan is informational-only, so no security boundary to bypass. |
+| Zip content extraction | `process_zip_upload()` extracts nested JARs from ZIPs. Uses `file_name()` basename. **Sound** — no directory traversal. |
+| Path traversal in filename | `safe_name = Path::new(filename).file_name()` strips directory components. **Sound.** |
+| Arbitrary file write via mod | Once accepted, mod JAR is written to `mods_dir`. No validation that file is actually a valid JAR. But Docker container mounts that dir, so any file ends up in `/data/mods/`. **Sound** — jar extension enforced by route, no symlink. |
+
+**Whitelist toggle fix:**
+The `ENABLE_WHITELIST` env var was hardcoded `true` before this commit. Now it's configurable per-instance. This is a **feature addition** masquerading as a hardening — whitelist being off is a valid configuration choice, not a vulnerability.
+
+**Session cookie debug logging:**
+Added tracing lines that log `raw_cookies` to stderr. If tracing output is captured in production logs, session IDs could leak into log files. **Potential information disclosure.**
+
+**Verdict: Sound for declared policy**, but the policy itself is weak — any malicious server-side mod is accepted. No bypass of the validation logic exists.
+
+---
+
+## Cross-Cutting Vulnerability Analysis
+
+### 1. RCON Command Injection [UNFIXED]
+
+**Location:** `src/routes/players.rs` — `player_action!` macro
+
+**Mechanism:**
+```rust
+macro_rules! player_action {
+    ($name:ident, $command:expr) => {
+        async fn $name(
+            ...
+            Form(form): Form<PlayerAction>,
+        ) -> Result<Redirect, ...> {
+            ...
+            let cmd = format!($command, form.username);
+            // e.g., "whitelist add {}", "op {}", "ban {}", etc.
+            client.send_command_async(cmd.clone()).await
+        }
+    };
+}
+```
+
+**Impact:** Username is directly interpolated into an RCON command string. An attacker can inject additional RCON commands via a crafted username:
+```
+POST /players/whitelist/add
+username=player1;say%20pwned
+```
+Would execute: `whitelist add player1;say pwned` — both commands run.
+
+**Bypass:** No validation or sanitization of `form.username`. No character restrictions. RCON protocol sends commands as null-terminated strings; the `;` is interpreted by the Minecraft server's command parser, which chains commands.
+
+**Cluster:** This is a command injection class bug. No commit has attempted to fix it.
+
+---
+
+### 2. Missing CSRF Protection [UNFIXED]
+
+**Location:** All form handlers
+
+**Mechanism:** No CSRF tokens on any POST form. `SameSite=Lax` on cookies provides partial protection (not for GET-based state changes, but all state changes use POST). However, `SameSite=Lax` sends cookies on top-level navigations from external sites, and `POST` forms from cross-origin without `SameSite=Strict` are still sent with cookies in some browser configurations.
+
+**Impact:** Cross-site request forgery on all admin actions (create instance, delete, activate, upload mods, manage players, change passwords, etc.).
+
+**Bypass:** No CSRF token validation exists anywhere. Attacker site can POST to any endpoint and the victim's browser will include the session cookie for top-level navigations.
+
+**Cluster:** No commit addresses CSRF.
+
+---
+
+### 3. No Rate Limiting [UNFIXED]
+
+**Location:** `/login` endpoint, all POST handlers
+
+**Mechanism:** No rate limiting on any endpoint. Brute-force password attacks against the login form are unbounded.
+
+**Impact:** Unlimited login attempts for credential brute force.
+
+**Bypass:** Directly exploitable — no commit adds any throttling.
+
+---
+
+### 4. Information Disclosure — World Seed via RCON [DESIGN ISSUE]
+
+**Location:** `src/routes/instances.rs` — `edit_form()`
+
+**Mechanism:** The world seed is fetched via RCON `seed` command and displayed on the edit page. Any authenticated user can see the seed.
+
+**Impact:** World seed is considered sensitive by some server operators (enables griefers to locate structures). The seed is also stored in DB and `server.properties`.
+
+**Not a patch bypass** — no commit has attempted to restrict seed access.
+
+---
+
+### 5. Insecure Default Credentials [SOFT]
+
+**Location:** `config.toml`
+
+**Config:**
+```toml
+initial_superuser = "admin"
+initial_superuser_password = "admin"
+```
+
+**Mechanism:** Default credentials are hardcoded in the example config. On first run, these create the initial superuser. `password_change_required=1` is set, forcing a password change on first login.
+
+**Bypass:** If an attacker gains access before the admin changes the password (e.g., upon deployment), they can log in with `admin:admin`. The forced password change can be bypassed if the attacker changes it to their own password.
+
+**Verdict: Relocated** — the forced-change mitigates but doesn't eliminate the window of exposure.
+
+---
+
+### 6. Missing Authorization Boundaries [DESIGN ISSUE]
+
+**Location:** All instance routes
+
+**Mechanism:** All authenticated users can manage all instances. No per-instance access control. The `is_superuser` check only gates account management, not instance operations.
+
+**Impact:** Any user can create, delete, modify, activate, upload mods to, or back up any instance. Single tenancy by design, but problematic if user accounts are meant to isolate administrators.
+
+**Not a patch bypass** — no commit has attempted per-instance authorization.
+
+---
+

+## Undisclosed Fix Candidates
+
+No commits in this repository appear to be silent (undisclosed) security fixes. All commits are feature additions or cleanup. The repository has no advisory history.
+
+However, the following patterns suggest latent vulnerabilities that **should** have been fixed but remain open:
+
+1. **RCON injection in `player_action!` macro** — the most severe unfixed issue (CWE-77)
+2. **Property injection in `regenerate_world`** — seed field allows injecting arbitrary `server.properties` lines
+3. **World import ZIP bomb** — no size limit on multipart field in `import_world()`
+
+---
+
+## Conclusion
+
+- **0 security patches** found in the commit history.
+- **3 critical unfixed vulnerabilities** (RCON injection, CSRF, rate limiting).
+- **3 moderate unfixed issues** (cookie Secure flag, property injection, ZIP bomb).
+- **2 design-level weaknesses** (mod validation policy, static file serving).
+- No existing fix to bypass — the security controls that exist were built in from the initial commit and their bypassability is assessed above.
+
+The most actionable finding is **RCON command injection** (CWE-77) in the player management routes, which allows any authenticated user to execute arbitrary Minecraft server commands through crafted usernames.

+# Authorization Matrix — Public Routes & Access Control
+
+**Coverage stats**: 37 endpoints discovered | 1 endpoint with no guard detected (missing-guard) | 24 endpoints taking object-id parameter
+**Coverage gaps**: None — all routes are statically registered in the axum Router. No reflection-based or dynamically-registered handlers.
+
+## Legend
+
+| Column | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| Layer-1 Guard | Declarative decorators/annotations (none in this Rust axum app) |
+| In-body Authz | Handler-level checks (superuser guard, ownership filters, etc.) |
+| Router/Middleware Guard | `require_auth` middleware applied at the router-group level |
+| Hidden Control Channels | Request-derived values that influence auth, routing, or identity |
+| Object-ID Param | Path parameter that identifies a resource (potential IDOR vector) |
+| Ownership Check? | Does the handler filter queries by the acting user's identity? |
+| Tenant Filter? | Does the handler filter by tenant/org scope? |
+| Expected Scope | `public` / `authenticated` / `role:superuser` / `unknown` |

+## Anomaly Summary
+
+| # | Anomaly | Routes Affected | Severity | Existing Draft |
+|---|---------|-----------------|----------|----------------|
+| A1 | **Missing guard** — POST /logout registered on outer router, not behind `require_auth` middleware | #3 | MEDIUM | p4-008 |
+| A2 | **Fragile superuser pattern** — superuser check done inline in handler body via `if !account.is_superuser` instead of middleware/extractor | #32, #33, #34, #35 | LOW (pattern concern) | p4-025 |
+| A3 | **No ownership/tenant scoping** — all authenticated users have equal access to ALL instances, mods, backups, player management | #6–#31 | INFO (by design: single-user/small-team) | — |
+| A4 | **No CSRF protection** — all POST endpoints lack CSRF tokens | #2, #3, #8, #10, #11, #12, #13, #15, #16, #18–#23, #25, #26, #29, #30, #31, #33–#35, #37, #38 | HIGH | p4-003 |
+| A5 | **Hidden control channel** — `Content-Type` boundary parsed for multer multipart (attacker-controlled boundary string) | #29 | LOW | — |
+| A6 | **Hidden control channel** — Cookie header parsing relies on raw string splitting (no validation of session ID format) | All protected routes | LOW | p4-019 |
+
+## Hidden Control Channels Map
+
+| Channel | Where Used | What It Controls | Can It Bypass Auth? |
+|---------|-----------|-----------------|---------------------|
+| `Cookie: mcui_session` | `require_auth` (src/auth.rs:55), `logout` (src/auth.rs:130) | Identity (session lookup → Account) | No — session must exist in DB |
+| `Content-Type: boundary=` | `upload_mod` (src/routes/mods.rs:86) | Multipart parsing boundary | No — only affects file parsing |
+| Path parameters `{id}` | All `/instances/{id}/*`, `/backups/{id}/*` routes | Resource selection | No — but no ownership check on selected resource |
+| Form fields | All POST handlers | Operation parameters | No — parametrized queries prevent injection |
+| X-Forwarded-* Headers | **Not read anywhere** | N/A | N/A (safe — not trusted) |
+| X-HTTP-Method-Override | **Not supported** | N/A | N/A (safe) |
+| X-Admin / X-Internal | **Not supported** | N/A | N/A (safe) |
+
+## Authz Architecture Summary
+
+- **Authentication**: Cookie-based session (UUIDv4) via `require_auth` middleware (src/auth.rs:55)
+- **Authorization model**: Flat — all authenticated users are equal. No per-resource ownership, no roles beyond `is_superuser`.
+- **Superuser gating**: Inline `if !account.is_superuser` checks in handler bodies (src/routes/accounts.rs)
+- **Static file serving**: Completely public
+- **Logout**: Public (missing guard — only by design because session IDs are unpredictable UUIDs)
+- **Session management**: 24h max-age cookie, NO server-side TTL check, NO Secure flag

+
+### Flow M7: RCON Password Exposed to All Authenticated Users

+- **CWE:** CWE-200 (Information Exposure)
+
+### Flow M8: Logout Handler Without Auth Middleware
+- **Source:** `POST /logout` (registered on outer router, not behind `require_auth`)

+- **CWE:** CWE-674 (Uncontrolled Recursion)
+
+### Flow L3: Backup Restore is No-Op
+- **Source:** `POST /backups/{id}/restore`
+- **Path:** Looks up (instance_id, _filename) from DB, then returns redirect without restoring

+# P7 Spec, Framework Contract & Parser Gap Summary
+
+**Target:** salmon/minecraft-ui
+**Date:** 2025-07-29
+**Phase:** P7 — Specification, Framework Contract & Parser Differential Analysis
+**Mode:** deep
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+This report documents gaps between authoritative specifications, framework contracts, and the codebase implementation for salmon/minecraft-ui. The analysis covers:
+
+- **RFC 9106** (Argon2) — password hashing parameter compliance
+- **Java `.properties` format** (Oracle spec) — server.properties parsing
+- **Source RCON Protocol** (Minecraft community spec — wiki.vg/RCON) — packet handling
+- **RFC 6265** (HTTP State Management) — cookie parsing and session handling
+- **Axum Framework Contracts** — middleware ordering, extension-based auth, multipart boundary parsing
+- **Hidden Control Channels** — Docker environment injection, file path construction, host header trust
+- **Deployment Assumptions** — reverse proxy, localhost binding, no TLS
+
+---
+
+## Spec Gap Candidates
+
+### Gap 1: Java `.properties` — Missing Escape Sequence Processing
+
+- **Spec:** Oracle Java `.properties` file format
+- **Requirement:** The format specifies escape sequences: `\n`, `\r`, `\t`, `\\`, `\uXXXX`, `\ ` (literal space), `\!`, `\#`, `\=`, `\:`, and multi-line continuation with trailing `\`.
+- **Code Path:** `src/properties.rs:13-19` — `read_properties()` splits on `=` or `:` without escaping
+- **Gap Type:** parsing | canonicalization
+- **Impact:** Values containing `=`, `:`, or Java escape sequences in `server.properties` are misparsed. An attacker who can control `server.properties` values (e.g., via `level-seed` setting) can inject fake key-value pairs or corrupt parsing. The `level-seed` value in `server.properties` is written by `regenerate_world` via a line-replacement loop that creates `level-seed={seed}` — the seed value is not escaped for the `.properties` format.
+- **Attack Vector:** Auth'd user sets a seed containing `\nlevel-type=FLAT\n` which, when written to `server.properties` via the naive line-replacement in `regenerate_world`, injects additional properties. On next server start, the injected properties alter server behavior.
+- **Exploit Conditions:** Auth'd user; instance not active; access to `regenerate_world` handler.
+- **Severity:** MEDIUM
+- **Evidence:** `src/properties.rs:13-19` uses `split_once('=')` and `split_once(':')` with no escape processing. Java `.properties` spec requires backslash escaping for separators.
+
+### Gap 2: Argon2id (RFC 9106) — Non-Recommended Default Parameters
+
+- **RFC/Spec:** RFC 9106, Sections 3.1, 4, 7.4
+- **Requirement:** RFC 9106 §4 recommends as FIRST option: `Argon2id` with `t=1`, `p=4`, `m=2^21` (2 GiB). §7.4 states "Argon2id variant with t=1 and 2 GiB memory is the FIRST RECOMMENDED option". Salt SHOULD be 16 bytes and SHOULD be unique per password.
+- **Code Path:** `src/auth.rs:28` — `Argon2::default().hash_password(password.as_bytes(), &salt)?`
+- **Gap Type:** missing-check | parameter-choice
+- **Impact:** `Argon2::default()` uses m_cost=19456 KiB (~19 MiB), t_cost=2 iterations, p_cost=1 lane. This is ~100x less memory than RFC 9106 recommends. While not a compliance vulnerability (any parameters are valid per the algorithm spec), the weak defaults reduce brute-force attack resistance relative to the RFC's recommended "default setting for all environments."
+- **Attack Vector:** Offline password hash cracking benefits from the 19 MiB vs 2 GiB memory reduction (~100x cheaper per guess).
+- **Exploit Conditions:** Attacker obtains password hash from database (SQLite file access or SQL injection).
+- **Impact:** Accelerated offline brute-force by ~100x less memory per hash evaluation.
+- **Severity:** MEDIUM
+- **Evidence:** `src/auth.rs:28` uses `Argon2::default()` (m=19456 KiB, t=2, p=1). RFC 9106 §4 recommends m=2^21 KiB (2 GiB), t=1, p=4 for pass hashing. Source: `/home/salmon/.cargo/registry/src/index.crates.io-1949cf8c6b5b557f/argon2-0.5.3/src/params.rs:29` defines DEFAULT_M_COST = 19 * 1024.
+
+### Gap 3: RCON Protocol — Insufficient Response Read After EXECCOMMAND
+
+- **Spec:** Source RCON Protocol (Minecraft community convention — wiki.vg/RCON)
+- **Requirement:** After sending `SERVERDATA_EXECCOMMAND` (type 2), the server responds with a `SERVERDATA_RESPONSE_VALUE` (type 0) packet containing the command output, followed by a second `SERVERDATA_RESPONSE_VALUE` (type 0) as an end marker. Multi-packet responses are possible.
+- **Code Path:** `src/rcon.rs:72-76` — reads one response, then ignores errors on second
+- **Gap Type:** state-machine | error-handling
+- **Impact:** Reads only one guaranteed response. Fragmented multi-packet responses are truncated. The comment acknowledges this: "some servers send it, some don't; ignore errors."
+- **Attack Vector:** Long RCON command output (> 1400 bytes) gets truncated.
+- **Exploit Conditions:** Any RCON command with output exceeding ~1400 bytes.
+- **Impact:** Truncated command response (information disclosure).
+- **Severity:** LOW — protocol compliance only, no direct security bypass.
+- **Evidence:** `src/rcon.rs:72` — `let response = self.read_packet(&mut stream)?;` followed by `let _ = self.read_packet(&mut stream);` with error ignored.
+
+### Gap 4: Java `.properties` — Key Continuation and Whitespace Separator Not Supported
+
+- **Spec:** Oracle Java `.properties` format
+- **Code Path:** `src/properties.rs:13-19`
+- **Gap Type:** parsing
+- **Impact:** Lines with whitespace-only separators (e.g., `key value`) are silently ignored.
+- **Severity:** LOW — informational; conventional Minecraft server.properties uses `=`.
+
+### Gap 5: Auth Middleware — Manual Cookie Parsing (RFC 6265)
+
+- **RFC/Spec:** RFC 6265 (HTTP State Management), Sections 4.2.2, 5
+- **Code Path:** `src/auth.rs:105-118` — manual `split(';')` then `split_once('=')`
+- **Gap Type:** parsing | canonicalization
+- **Impact:** The parser does NOT strip OWS around cookie names per RFC 6265 §4.2.2. Does NOT handle quoted cookie values.
+- **Severity:** LOW — well-formed browser cookies not affected; no auth bypass possible.
+
+### Gap 6: Framework Contract — Logout Without Auth Middleware
+
+- **Contract:** Axum middleware; all state-changing ops require auth.
+- **Code Path:** `src/routes/mod.rs:29` — `/logout` on outer router, not in `protected` group.
+- **Gap Type:** middleware-ordering
+- **Impact:** Anonymous requests can delete sessions (requires valid session ID — UUIDv4 impractical).
+- **Severity:** LOW — theoretical; UUIDv4 unpredictability prevents exploitation.
+
+### Gap 7: Framework Contract — No Server-Side Session TTL Enforcement
+
+- **Contract:** Session cookie Max-Age=86400 but no server-side expiration check.
+- **Code Path:** `src/auth.rs:93` — `Max-Age=86400`; `src/auth.rs:108-115` — no `created_at` check.
+- **Gap Type:** missing-check
+- **Impact:** Session rows remain valid indefinitely in DB. Stolen session ID (via XSS, log access, DB leak) works forever.
+- **Attack Vector:** Session ID leak → permanent session hijacking. No server-side TTL means an attacker who obtains a session ID can reuse it indefinitely, long after the Max-Age expires.
+- **Exploit Conditions:** Attacker must first obtain a valid session ID.
+- **Impact:** Session hijacking window extended indefinitely.
+- **Severity:** MEDIUM
+- **Evidence:** `src/auth.rs:93` sets `Max-Age=86400` but `src/auth.rs:108-115` does `WHERE s.id = ?1` with no date filter.
+
+### Gap 8: Hidden Control Channel — Instance MOTD Injected Into Docker Env Without Sanitization
+
+- **Contract:** Docker env vars derived from instance settings; Docker env parsing splits on `\n`.
+- **Code Path:** `src/docker.rs:103` — `format!("MOTD={}", instance.motd)`
+- **Gap Type:** hidden-control-channel | missing-check
+- **Impact:** MOTD containing newline characters (`%0a`) injects arbitrary additional env vars into the Docker container. For example, MOTD=`hello\nEULA=FALSE\nONLINE_MODE=true` would override security-critical env vars. All Docker env vars (VERSION, TYPE, MEMORY, MAX_PLAYERS, DIFFICULTY, RCON_PASSWORD, GAMEMODE, LEVEL_TYPE, LEVEL_SEED, PVP, MOTD) are set without sanitization.
+- **Attack Vector:** Auth'd user edits instance MOTD → saves → triggers container restart → injected env vars alter Docker container behavior.
+- **Exploit Conditions:** Auth'd user; container restarted after instance edit.
+- **Impact:** Full Docker container environment variable injection — could override EULA, ONLINE_MODE, RCON settings, or inject arbitrary env vars.
+- **Severity:** HIGH
+- **Evidence:** `src/docker.rs:103` — `format!("MOTD={}", instance.motd)`. No escaping. MOTD sourced from `src/routes/instances.rs:206` via `Form<EditInstanceForm>` without sanitization.
+
+### Gap 9: Hidden Control Channel — Instance Name Used in File Paths Without Sanitization
+
+- **Contract:** Instance name → filesystem path.
+- **Code Path:** `src/routes/instances.rs:173` — `server_directory.join("instances").join(&form.name)`
+- **Gap Type:** hidden-control-channel | missing-check
+- **Impact:** `std::path::Path::join` DOES traverse on `..` prefix. Instance name `../../evil` results in path outside intended tree. All subsequent operations (mod uploads, world import, backups) land at attacker-chosen locations. Files created: instance data directory, mod JAR files, world files.
+- **Attack Vector:** Auth'd user creates instance with `../../evil_name` → data dir created at `server_directory/instances/../../evil_name/data` = `server_directory/evil_name/data`. Then upload mod or import world to write files at traversed location.
+- **Exploit Conditions:** Auth'd user.
+- **Impact:** Arbitrary file write relative to server_directory (WebUI process user permissions).
+- **Severity:** HIGH
+- **Evidence:** `src/routes/instances.rs:173` — `let instance_dir = state.config.server_directory.join("instances").join(&form.name).join("data");` No validation of `form.name` for `..` or path separators. Also stored in DB at `src/routes/instances.rs:119` without sanitization.
+
+### Gap 10: Hidden Control Channel — Content-Type Boundary Parsing Trusts Attacker Input
+
+- **Contract:** Multer multipart parser; boundary from Content-Type header.
+- **Code Path:** `src/routes/mods.rs:140-149` — boundary parsed without validation
+- **Gap Type:** hidden-control-channel | missing-check
+- **Impact:** Attacker-controlled boundary value fed to `multer::Multipart::with_constraints`. While multer validates boundaries internally, a crafted boundary could cause field misidentification, size limit bypass, or field-skipping behavior.
+- **Attack Vector:** Send crafted Content-Type header with boundary overlapping body content: malformed multipart parsing.
+- **Exploit Conditions:** Auth'd user uploading mods.
+- **Impact:** Potential DoS or file size limit bypass.
+- **Severity:** MEDIUM
+- **Evidence:** `src/routes/mods.rs:141-148` — boundary parsed from user-supplied `Content-Type`.
+
+### Gap 11: Hidden Control Channel — All Instance Settings In Docker Env Without Sanitization
+
+- **Contract:** All instance settings → Docker env.
+- **Code Path:** `src/docker.rs:87-113`
+- **Gap Type:** hidden-control-channel | missing-check
+- **Impact:** Beyond MOTD (Gap 8), LEVEL_SEED, LEVEL_TYPE, GAMEMODE, DIFFICULTY, VERSION, RCON_PASSWORD are all injected without sanitization.
+- **Severity:** HIGH — combined with Gap 8.
+
+### Gap 12: Framework Contract — RCON Password Exposed to All Authenticated Users
+
+- **Contract:** Supposed role-based access control for sensitive instance data.
+- **Code Path:** `src/routes/instances.rs:313` — `rcon_password: row.get(15)?` in `edit_form`
+- **Gap Type:** missing-check
+- **Impact:** Any authenticated user can view any instance's RCON password by visiting `/instances/{id}/edit`. No superuser or instance-ownership check. RCON password grants full Minecraft server control.
+- **Attack Vector:** Auth'd user navigates to `/instances/1/edit` → sees RCON password → uses RCON client to issue arbitrary commands.
+- **Exploit Conditions:** Auth'd user.
+- **Impact:** Full Minecraft server compromise via RCON — whitelist bypass, data destruction, command execution.
+- **Severity:** HIGH
+- **Evidence:** `src/routes/instances.rs:313` — `rcon_password` selected and returned. No superuser check. Compare with `src/routes/accounts.rs:35` where checks exist.
+
+---
+
+## Cross-Reference with Phase 3 Domain Attack Research
+
+- **Gap 8/11** (Docker env injection) — NOT covered in Phase 3. New finding.
+- **Gap 9** (Instance name path traversal) — NOT specifically covered. Phase 3 identified mod filename traversal (T2) but not instance name as traversal vector.
+- **Gap 12** (RCON password exposure) — Covered in Phase 3 as T5.
+- **Gap 7** (No session TTL) — Covered in Phase 3 domain research.
+- **Gap 2** (Argon2 defaults) — NOT covered in Phase 3.

+## Concurrency Primitives Observed
+
+| Primitive | Location | Scope | Limitation |
+|-----------|----------|-------|------------|
+| `Arc<Mutex<Connection>>` | `src/db.rs:7` | SQLite connection | Serialises per-statement, not per-transaction |
+| `MutexGuard::drop()` implicit | Every `let conn = state.db.conn()` / `drop(conn)` pattern | Statement boundaries | Mutex released between read and write in multiple handlers |
+| Tokio async tasks (background spawn) | `src/routes/instances.rs:457` | container lifecycle | **No instance ID binding** — uses `WHERE is_active = 1` |
+| SQLite WAL mode | `src/db.rs:19` (PRAGMA) | Write-ahead logging | Allows concurrent reads during writes but does not prevent any of the races documented |
+
+**No distributed locks, no advisory locks, no `SELECT ... FOR UPDATE`, no explicit BEGIN/COMMIT boundaries.**
+
+## Idempotency Infrastructure
+
+**Absent.** No `idempotency_key` table, no deduplication tokens, no request ID storage, no unique constraints leveraged for dedup (except `accounts.username` and `instances.name`). Every POST handler is vulnerable to replay/double-submit.
+
+## Drafts Filed
+
+| Draft | Severity | Class | Summary |
+|-------|----------|-------|---------|
+| p6-001 | CRITICAL | toctou | Background task in `activate_instance` uses `WHERE is_active = 1` (no instance ID bound). After deactivation/reactivation, stale task writes `container_state` on the wrong instance. |
+| p6-002 | HIGH | toctou | `delete_instance` releases DB mutex before `remove_dir_all`. Concurrent `create_instance` with same name has its data directory wiped. Cross-resource TOCTOU with data loss. |
+| p6-003 | MEDIUM | state-machine-violation | `edit_instance` stops container on active instances without restarting. `is_active=1` and stale `container_state='running'` persist. Instance appears running but isn't. |
+| p6-004 | HIGH | idempotency | No idempotency infrastructure on any POST handler. Mod upload, backup create, login, account create all vulnerable to replay/double-submit. |
+| p6-005 | MEDIUM | rmw-no-txn | `process_jar_upload` writes file to disk before DB INSERT. Crash between file write and DB insert leaves orphaned mod file. Also performs `has_modpack` update across separate mutex acquisition. |
+| p6-006 | MEDIUM | toctou | `create_backup` reads instance name, releases mutex, creates ZIP file (long I/O window), then re-acquires mutex. Concurrent instance deletion causes FK violation — orphaned ZIP file with no DB record. |

+# Unauthenticated Attack Surface
+
+Reachable by an anonymous attacker — no valid session, token, or API key.
+
+**Coverage**: 4 entry points | 3 by-design public | 1 missing-guard | 0 middleware-gap
+**Auth model**: Cookie-based session (mcui_session UUIDv4) via `require_auth` middleware (src/auth.rs:55). Login sets Set-Cookie with HttpOnly; middleware extracts cookie header and queries sessions table.
+**Coverage gaps**: None — all routes are statically registered in the axum Router at src/routes/mod.rs. No reflection-based or dynamically-registered handlers.
+
+## Pre-Auth HTTP / API Routes
+
+| # | Method | Path | Handler (file:line) | Why pre-auth | Notable inputs / sinks | Blast radius |
+|---|--------|------|---------------------|--------------|------------------------|--------------|
+| 1 | GET | `/login` | `login_page` (src/routes/mod.rs:53) | by-design | None — renders static template | None — no side effects, no data access |
+| 2 | POST | `/login` | `authenticate` (src/auth.rs:34) | by-design | `username`, `password` form fields → Argon2id password hash verification → session INSERT | Account compromise if credentials brute-forced (no rate limiting — see p4-005). Session fixation not possible (new UUID on each login). |
+| 3 | POST | `/logout` | `logout` (src/auth.rs:130) | **missing-guard** (p4-008) | Cookie header → raw string split on `;` and `=` → session ID → `DELETE FROM sessions WHERE id = ?1` | Session deletion if valid session ID known. UUIDv4 is unpredictable (122 bits). Low practical risk but defense-in-depth violation. |
+| 4 | GET | `/static/*` | `ServeDir::new("static")` (src/routes/mod.rs:28) | by-design | File path after `/static/` → static file read | Static file read only. Directory contains only `style.css` and `htmx.min.js`. No user data, no secrets, no configuration. |
+
+## Other Unauthenticated Entry Points
+
+| Kind | Entry point (file:line) | Why pre-auth | Notes |
+|------|-------------------------|--------------|-------|
+| **Static file server** | `ServeDir::new("static")` mounted at Router level (src/routes/mod.rs:28) | by-design | Serves `static/` directory contents (style.css, htmx.min.js). No auth, no session check, no dynamic content. Served directly without any middleware. |
+| **Logout session deletion** | `logout` handler (src/auth.rs:130) registered on **outer Router** (src/routes/mod.rs:20) | missing-guard (p4-008) | Covered by row #3 above. The handler is on the outer Router, NOT behind `require_auth`. Any anonymous request can reach it. The handler extracts session ID from Cookie header via raw string splitting (`split(';')` then `split_once('=')`) and attempts to delete the session from DB. |
+
+## Why `POST /logout` is classified `missing-guard`
+
+The route registration at src/routes/mod.rs:20:
+
+```rust
+Router::new()
+    .route("/login", axum::routing::get(login_page))
+    .route("/login", axum::routing::post(crate::auth::authenticate))
+    .route("/logout", axum::routing::post(crate::auth::logout))  // <-- OUTSIDE protected group
+    .merge(protected)  // <-- protected has .layer(auth_required)
+```
+
+The `require_auth` middleware (src/auth.rs:55) is applied only to the `protected` router group. The logout handler processes the request without any session validation — it simply reads the Cookie header, extracts the session ID by splitting on `;` and `=`, and executes `DELETE FROM sessions WHERE id = ?1`.
+
+**Mitigating factors:**
+1. Session IDs are UUIDv4 (122 bits of entropy) — practically unpredictable
+2. Attacker would need a victim's exact session cookie value
+3. No account information is leaked; only session deletion occurs
+
+**Risk if session IDs leak:**
+Session IDs could leak via:
+- Server access logs (if session IDs appear in logged cookie headers)
+- Error messages (currently suppressed by `unwrap_or` / `ok()` patterns)
+- Database backup exposure
+- Shoulder surfing / physical access
+
+If leaked, an attacker can force-logout the victim by sending `Cookie: mcui_session=<leaked-id>` to `/logout`.
+
+## Pre-Auth Risk Summary
+
+The webUI is designed to bind to `127.0.0.1` and sit behind a reverse proxy (nginx), which mitigates direct anonymous access. If exposed to the internet (even unintentionally via misconfiguration, Docker port mapping, or reverse proxy error):
+
+| Risk | Pre-auth endpoint | Impact | Existing draft |
+|------|-------------------|--------|----------------|
+| **HIGH** | `POST /login` (no rate limit) | Account compromise via credential brute-force | p4-005 |
+| **LOW** | `POST /logout` (missing guard) | Session deletion (requires valid session ID) | p4-008 |
+| **HIGH** | All POST endpoints (no CSRF) | Cross-site request forgery on any state-changing operation | p4-003 |
+| **NONE** | `GET /login` | None — static page | — |
+| **NONE** | `GET /static/*` | None — only CSS/JS files | — |
+
+## Auth Bypass Verification
+
+**All protected routes are correctly behind `require_auth` middleware:**
+- ✓ Dashboard (`/`)
+- ✓ Instances CRUD (`/instances`, `/instances/{id}/edit`, etc.)
+- ✓ World management (`/instances/{id}/world/*`)
+- ✓ Player management (`/players`, `/players/*`)
+- ✓ Backup management (`/instances/{id}/backups`, `/backups/{id}/*`)
+- ✓ Mod management (`/instances/{id}/mods`, `/instances/{id}/mods/*`)
+- ✓ Account management (`/accounts`, `/accounts/*`)
+- ✓ Password change (`/change-password`)
+
+**Routes NOT behind `require_auth` (intentional for auth protocol):**
+- `GET /login` — login form (by-design)
+- `POST /login` — credential verification (by-design)
+- `GET /static/*` — static assets (by-design)
+
+**Route NOT behind `require_auth` (anomaly):**
+- `POST /logout` — session deletion (missing-guard, p4-008)
+
+## Hidden Control Channel Verification
+
+| Channel | Present? | Can it bypass auth? |
+|---------|----------|---------------------|
+| Cookie header (`mcui_session`) | Yes, in `require_auth` + `logout` | No — session must exist in DB |
+| Content-Type boundary | Yes, in `upload_mod` handler | No — only affects file parsing |
+| X-Forwarded-* headers | **Not read anywhere** | N/A (safe) |
+| X-HTTP-Method-Override | **Not supported** | N/A (safe) |
+| X-Admin / X-Internal / X-Debug | **Not supported** | N/A (safe) |
+| Host header | **Not used for routing decisions** | N/A (safe) |
+
+## References to Existing Drafts
+
+The following p4 findings document pre-auth and authz issues in detail:
+
+| Draft | Class | Covers |
+|-------|-------|--------|
+| p4-003 | csrf | No CSRF on any POST endpoint |
+| p4-005 | missing-rate-limit | No rate limiting on POST /login |
+| p4-008 | missing-guard | POST /logout not behind auth middleware |
+| p4-009 | cookie-no-secure-flag | Cookie missing Secure flag |
+| p4-019 | cookie-parsing-naive | Naive cookie header string splitting |
+
+## Cross-Reference: Matrix Entry vs Unauthenticated Surface
+
+All entries in this file are derived from the authorization matrix (`piolium/attack-surface/public-routes-authz-matrix.md`). The matrix covers 37 total endpoints; 4 are reachable pre-auth as documented above. The remaining 33 require authentication via `require_auth` middleware.

+2. Same flow shape (source type → transformation → sink type)
+3. Same attacker control level (authenticated/unauthenticated, direct/indirect)
+4. Missing protections (no input validation, no escaping, no authorization check)

+
+## Path Traversal Variant Details
+
+### Variant 1: World Import Path Traversal (p12-001)
+
+| Property | Value |
+|----------|-------|
+| Source | `instances.name` from DB (originally `form.name`) |
+| Sink | `std::fs::File::create()` at `instances.rs:704` |
+| Flow | POST `/instances/{id}/world/import` → load name from DB → `.join(&instance_name)` → `world_dir.join(zip_entry)` → `File::create()` |
+| Constraint | `/data/world/` suffix appended after traversed name |
+| Severity | HIGH |
+| New? | Yes — NOT in AP-001 registry previously |
+
+### Variant 2: Regenerate World Path Traversal (p12-002)
+
+| Property | Value |
+|----------|-------|
+| Source | `instances.name` from DB (originally `form.name`) |
+| Sink | `std::fs::remove_dir_all()` at `instances.rs:779` |
+| Flow | POST `/instances/{id}/world/regenerate` → load name from DB → `.join(&instance_name)` → `remove_dir_all(world_dir)` |
+| Constraint | `/data/world/` suffix appended after traversed name |
+| Severity | HIGH |
+| New? | Yes — NOT in AP-001 registry previously |
+
+### Variant 3: Player Management Path Traversal (p12-003)
+
+| Property | Value |
+|----------|-------|
+| Source | `instances.name` from active instance query |
+| Sink | `std::fs::read_to_string()` via `read_json_list()` at `players.rs:59-76` |
+| Flow | GET `/players` → `get_active_instance()` → `.join(&inst_name)` → `read_json_list(.../whitelist.json)` |
+| Constraint | Only files named `whitelist.json`, `ops.json`, `banned-players.json` are read |
+| Severity | MEDIUM (read-only, constrained to 3 filenames) |
+| New? | Yes — NOT in AP-001 registry previously |
+
+### Variant 4: Backup Create Path Traversal (p12-004)
+
+| Property | Value |
+|----------|-------|
+| Source | `instances.name` from DB (originally `form.name`) |
+| Sink | `std::fs::File::create()` at `backups.rs:114` |
+| Flow | POST `/instances/{id}/backups/create` → load name from DB → `filename = {name}_{timestamp}.zip` → `.join(&filename)` → `File::create()` |
+| Constraint | Timestamp suffix (`_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.zip`) attached to traversed name |
+| Severity | MEDIUM (cannot control exact filename) |
+| New? | Partially — backup filename path was listed in registry but created via Write (not Read) |
+
+---
+
+## No Variants Found — Rationale
+
+### AP-002 (RCON Injection)
+The `player_action!` macro generates 6 endpoints with unsanitized username → RCON command. All other RCON calls use hardcoded commands ("seed", "list"). No unsanitized input reaches any other `send_command_async()` call.
+
+### AP-003 (Properties Injection)
+Only `regenerate_world` writes to `server.properties` with user data. The seed is also passed to Docker as `LEVEL_SEED` env var (docker.rs:141), but Docker API injection was ruled FALSE POSITIVE in Phase 10. No other Java .properties files are written with user data.
+
+### AP-004/005 (CSRF, Session TTL)
+Architectural/design-level vulnerabilities. CSRF affects all 31 POST endpoints universally. Session TTL is a single missing WHERE clause in one query. No code-level variants.
+
+### Concurrency (p10-011 through p10-015)
+Each concurrency finding is a unique race condition or ordering bug in a specific code flow. No identical patterns exist elsewhere in the codebase. The `WHERE is_active = 1` filter appears in the dashboard (read-only) and player management (read-only via `get_active_instance`), but these are synchronous reads that always return current state — unlike the background task which closes over the `is_active` state captured at task creation time.
+
+### DoS (p10-016)
+The constant pool parser in `scan_single_class()` is the only CPU-bound parsing without a timeout. No other validation function lacks a timeout. `read_metadata()` opens a ZipArchive but its parsing is bounded by the ZIP entry count and file size.
+
+### Encryption (p10-017)
+Single architectural gap — no encryption layer on SQLite. No variants.
+
+---
+
+## Registry Updates
+
+The following new instances were added to AP-001 in the attack pattern registry:
+- `src/routes/instances.rs:672 — world import via instance_name (FILE WRITE)`
+- `src/routes/instances.rs:776 — regenerate world via instance_name (DIRECTORY DELETE)`
+- `src/routes/players.rs:53 — player management via inst_name (FILE READ)`
+- `src/routes/backups.rs:112 — backup create via filename (FILE WRITE)`
+
+---
+
+## Conclusion
+
+**Total new variants found:** 4  
+**All from:** AP-001 (Path Traversal via Unsanitized Instance Name)  
+**Total variant drafts written:** 4 (p12-001 through p12-004)  
+**Findings with zero variants:** 13 (p10-002 through p10-017, except p10-001)  
+
+The path traversal pattern (AP-001) is the most pervasive vulnerability class in the codebase, with now 12 confirmed instances across 4 route modules (instances.rs, mods.rs, backups.rs, players.rs).

+# Security Audit Report: salmon/minecraft-ui
+
+=========================================
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+This audit of **minecraft-ui** — a self-hosted Rust (axum) web application that manages Docker-based Minecraft server instances — identified **17 validated vulnerabilities** spanning path traversal, injection, CSRF, session management, authorization, concurrency, denial-of-service, and cryptographic weaknesses. The most critical issue is **arbitrary filesystem access via unsanitized instance names** (AP-001), which enables path-traversal-driven directory creation, deletion, and constrained file read/write across 12 confirmed code paths — including 4 variant instances discovered in Phase 12. Four high-severity findings were cold-verified via adversarial review (P11). Combined with universal CSRF absence (31 POST endpoints) and a flat authorization model, the application provides minimal defense-in-depth: any authenticated user can destroy data, modify server configurations, or gain persistent access to Minecraft server consoles. The audit reached draft stage but the **findings promotion pipeline stalled** — no PoCs were built and no `piolium/findings/` directory was created. This report is assembled from available draft, chamber, and knowledge-base artifacts.
+
+## Methodology Summary
+
+- **Intelligence Gathering:** Advisory collection via `cargo-audit-advisory` (SBOM), architecture inventory of 16 Rust source files, dependency analysis (rusqlite, bollard, multer, zip)
+- **Knowledge Base:** Threat modeling with DFD/CFD slices (P3), manual attack surface inventory of 38 routes (P8), domain attack research (Minecraft RCON, Java .properties, Docker env injection)
+- **Static Analysis:** Structural extraction via manual code review; CodeQL database could not be built (system constraint); Semgrep ran but with limited Rust rule coverage
+- **Review Chambers:** 6-cluster multi-agent debate system (path-traversal, injection, auth-session, state-concurrency, denial-of-service, security-architecture). 37 findings from P4/P5/P6/P8 reviewed → **17 VALID** survivors, 7 FALSE POSITIVE, 8 DROP, 5 DUPLICATE
+- **Verification:** P11 cold verification (adversarial review) for 4 highest-severity findings: p10-001 (CONFIRMED), p10-003 (CONFIRMED), p10-004 (DISPROVED), p10-005 (CONFIRMED with severity downgrade challenge)
+- **Variant Analysis (P12):** 4 path-traversal variants discovered from AP-001 root cause search

+
+## Technical Findings Detail
+
+### Instance Name Path Traversal (p10-001 — CRITICAL equivalent)
+
+- **Severity:** CRITICAL
+- **Summary:** The instance `name` field flows unsanitized into `Path::join()` for 8 different filesystem operations. Rust's `Path::join()` follows `..` components, enabling arbitrary directory creation, deletion, and constrained file read/write outside the intended data directory.
+- **Impact:** An authenticated attacker can:
+  - **Delete arbitrary directories** via `remove_dir_all` (path: `src/routes/instances.rs:388-392`) — e.g., name=`../../../target` deletes the project build directory
+  - **Create arbitrary directories** via `create_dir_all` (path: `src/routes/instances.rs:204-206`)
+  - **Write files to arbitrary locations** (constrained by `/mods/` or `/data/world/` suffix chaining via mod upload and world import)
+  - **Read files from arbitrary locations** (constrained by world export and backup download paths)
+- **Root Cause:** `Path::join()` in Rust follows `..` components. User-controlled `form.name` is passed directly with no sanitization, length limits, or character restrictions. No validation exists at any of the 12 known join call sites.
+- **Key Code Reference:** `src/routes/instances.rs:204-206` — `Path::join(&form.name)` → `create_dir_all`
+- **PoC Status:** draft-only (no executable PoC built)
+- **Detailed Report:** `piolium/findings-draft/p10-001-instance-name-path-traversal.md`
+- **Adversarial Review:** `piolium/adversarial-reviews/p10-001-instance-name-path-traversal-review.md` — CONFIRMED, severity challenge rejected
+
+#### Attack Pattern: AP-001
+
+This finding is the root of attack pattern **AP-001** (Path Traversal via Unsanitized Instance Name), which has 12 confirmed instances across 4 route modules:
+- `src/routes/instances.rs:205` (create_dir_all)
+- `src/routes/instances.rs:392` (remove_dir_all)
+- `src/routes/mods.rs:126` (mods dir creation)
+- `src/routes/mods.rs:343` (mod rescan)
+- `src/routes/mods.rs:394` (mod delete)
+- `src/routes/backups.rs:107` (backup path)
+- `src/routes/instances.rs:593` (world export)
+- `src/routes/instances.rs:739` (server.properties)
+- `src/routes/instances.rs:672` (world import — variant)
+- `src/routes/instances.rs:776` (regenerate world — variant)
+- `src/routes/players.rs:53` (player management — variant)
+- `src/routes/backups.rs:112` (backup create — variant)
+
+#### Variants
+
+| Variant ID | Title | Severity | Location | Flow |
+|-----------|-------|----------|----------|------|
+| p12-001 | World Import Path Traversal | HIGH | `instances.rs:672` | `instance_name` from DB → `world_dir.join(zip_entry)` → `File::create()` |
+| p12-002 | Regenerate World Path Traversal | HIGH | `instances.rs:776` | `instance_name` from DB → `.join(&name)` → `remove_dir_all(world_dir)` |
+| p12-003 | Player Management Path Traversal | MEDIUM | `players.rs:53` | `inst_name` → `.join(...)` → `read_json_list()` (read-only, 3 filenames) |
+| p12-004 | Backup Create Path Traversal | MEDIUM | `backups.rs:112` | `name` → `{name}_{timestamp}.zip` → `.join(&filename)` → `File::create()` |

+
+---
+
+### Level-Seed Properties Injection (p10-003 — HIGH)
+
+- **Severity:** HIGH
+- **Summary:** The `POST /instances/{id}/world/regenerate` handler writes the user-supplied `seed` value into `server.properties` via line-based replacement with no escaping. Newline characters in the seed inject arbitrary Java `.properties` entries.
+- **Impact:** Persistent modification of Minecraft server configuration:
+  - Set `online-mode=false` (disable authentication — any player can join as anyone)
+  - Set `enforce-whitelist=false` (bypass whitelist restrictions)
+  - Change difficulty, gamemode, max-players, PvP settings
+  - Inject malformed properties causing server startup failure (DoS)
+  - **Persistence:** Injected values survive across server restarts until manually cleaned
+- **Root Cause:** `format!("level-seed={seed}")` writes the seed value directly into `server.properties` without escaping. The Java `.properties` spec treats newlines as property separators. The `properties.rs:13-19` reader also lacks escape-sequence processing (spec gap G1).
+- **Key Code Reference:** `src/routes/instances.rs:715-759` — `regenerate_world` handler, line replacement loop
+- **PoC Status:** draft-only
+- **Detailed Report:** `piolium/findings-draft/p10-003-level-seed-properties-injection.md`
+- **Adversarial Review:** `piolium/adversarial-reviews/p10-003-level-seed-properties-injection-review.md` — CONFIRMED, severity unchanged
+
+---
+
+### Missing CSRF Protection (p10-005 — HIGH)
+
+- **Severity:** HIGH (adversarial challenge to MEDIUM rejected)
+- **Summary:** The application has no CSRF protection across any of its 31 POST endpoints. No CSRF tokens are generated or validated. No Origin/Referer header validation exists. The session cookie uses `SameSite=Lax` which permits cookies on top-level cross-site POST navigations.
+- **Impact:** Universal cross-site request forgery enabling:
+  - **Account takeover:** Cross-site password change (though `current_password` IS required for `/change-password`, the superuser `/accounts/set-password` does NOT require the current password)
+  - **Instance destruction:** Cross-site delete requests wipe server data
+  - **File system manipulation:** CSRF + path traversal (p10-001) to write files to arbitrary locations
+  - **Minecraft server compromise:** CSRF to op attackers on the Minecraft server via player management endpoints
+  - **Malicious mod upload:** Cross-site mod upload writes JAR files to server
+- **Root Cause:** Cookie `SameSite=Lax` (not `Strict`) and zero CSRF token infrastructure. No axum CSRF middleware, no custom token generation, no header validation.
+- **Key Code Reference:** `src/auth.rs:83-86` — Cookie with `SameSite=Lax`; entire `src/routes/mod.rs` — no CSRF middleware
+- **PoC Status:** draft-only
+- **Detailed Report:** `piolium/findings-draft/p10-005-missing-csrf-protection.md`
+- **Adversarial Review:** `piolium/adversarial-reviews/p10-005-missing-csrf-protection-review.md` — CONFIRMED; severity down-challenge from HIGH to MEDIUM rejected by chamber (sub-claim D partially false but overall impact remains HIGH)
+
+---
+
+### RCON Command Injection (p10-002 — MEDIUM)
+
+- **Severity:** MEDIUM
+- **Summary:** The `player_action!` macro in `src/routes/players.rs` constructs RCON commands by interpolating user-supplied usernames via `format!()` without sanitization. Six player management endpoints are affected.
+- **Impact:** Operation-target manipulation via space injection, silent operation failure from malformed usernames. In vanilla Minecraft, RCON does not support command chaining (no `;` or `&&` injection), limiting impact to argument injection. On Spigot/Paper servers with command-chaining plugins, broader injection may be possible.
+- **Root Cause:** `format!("whitelist add {}", form.username)` — no validation, no character filtering, no Minecraft username format enforcement.
+- **Key Code Reference:** `src/routes/players.rs:89-102` — `player_action!` macro; `PlayerAction.username` is a raw `String`
+- **PoC Status:** draft-only
+- **Detailed Report:** `piolium/findings-draft/p10-002-rcon-command-injection.md`
+
+---
+
+### Flat Authorization Model (p10-010 — MEDIUM)
+
+- **Severity:** MEDIUM
+- **Summary:** Any authenticated user has full access to ALL instances, mods, backups, and player operations. There is no per-resource ownership, no role granularity beyond binary superuser/non-superuser, and no instance-level authorization.
+- **Impact:** In multi-user deployments, every user is a full administrator of every server instance. Data exfiltration, destructive operations, and Minecraft server control are all available to any authenticated account.
+- **Root Cause:** No `owner_id` column on `instances` table; all handlers use `CurrentUser(_user)` with destructured-and-ignored user variable; all queries lack user-scoped filters.
+- **Key Code References:** `src/routes/instances.rs` (all handlers), `src/routes/players.rs` (`player_action!`), `src/routes/backups.rs`, `src/routes/mods.rs`

+
+---
+
+### No Server-Side Session TTL (p10-006 — MEDIUM)
+
+- **Severity:** MEDIUM
+- **Summary:** The `require_auth` middleware validates session cookies against the database but never checks the `created_at` timestamp, despite the column existing in the schema. Stolen session cookies remain valid indefinitely server-side.
+- **Root Cause:** `WHERE s.id = ?1` query at `src/auth.rs:108-115` lacks a time-based filter. Cookie Max-Age=86400 is client-side only and trivially bypassed.
+- **Key Code Reference:** `src/auth.rs:108-115` — session query without `created_at` filter
+- **PoC Status:** draft-only
+- **Detailed Report:** `piolium/findings-draft/p10-006-no-server-side-session-ttl.md`
+
+---
+
+### No Rate Limiting Login (p10-007 — MEDIUM)
+
+- **Severity:** MEDIUM
+- **Summary:** `POST /login` has no rate limiting, account lockout, or progressive delay. Argon2id (~100ms/attempt) provides a weak mitigating factor.
+- **Root Cause:** No rate-limiting middleware, no `governor` or equivalent crate in Cargo.toml.
+- **Key Code Reference:** `src/auth.rs:39-92` — authenticate handler; `src/routes/mod.rs:44` — route registration
+- **PoC Status:** draft-only
+- **Detailed Report:** `piolium/findings-draft/p10-007-no-rate-limiting-login.md`
+
+---
+
+### Background Task Stale is_active (p10-011 — MEDIUM)
+
+- **Severity:** MEDIUM
+- **Summary:** `activate_instance` spawns a background tokio task that updates `container_state` using `WHERE is_active = 1` instead of the concrete instance ID. If the user switches active instances during the 60-second polling window, the stale task writes to the wrong instance's state.
+- **Root Cause:** 5 UPDATE statements at `src/routes/instances.rs:457-502` all use `WHERE is_active = 1` instead of `WHERE id = ?1`.
+- **Key Code Reference:** `src/routes/instances.rs:457-502` — background tokio task
+- **PoC Status:** draft-only (requires dynamic test)
+- **Detailed Report:** `piolium/findings-draft/p10-011-background-task-stale-is-active.md`
+
+---
+
+### Delete-Create Name Reuse Race (p10-012 — MEDIUM)
+
+- **Severity:** MEDIUM
+- **Summary:** `delete_instance` releases the DB mutex before `remove_dir_all`. A concurrent `create_instance` with the same name can create a new instance whose data directory is then wiped by the still-running deletion.
+- **Root Cause:** Mutex released at `drop(conn)` between `DELETE FROM instances` and `remove_dir_all()` (microsecond-to-millisecond race window).
+- **Key Code Reference:** `src/routes/instances.rs:360-396`
+- **PoC Status:** draft-only (requires dynamic test)
+- **Detailed Report:** `piolium/findings-draft/p10-012-delete-create-name-reuse-race.md`
+
+---
+
+### No Idempotency (p10-013 — MEDIUM)
+
+- **Severity:** MEDIUM
+- **Summary:** Zero idempotency infrastructure across all 31 POST endpoints. Network request replay (HTMX retry, proxy retry, rapid clicks) causes duplicate operations.
+- **Impact:** Duplicate mod uploads cause classloader conflicts on server restart (DoS). Duplicate backup creation wastes disk space. Duplicate player RCON commands are mostly harmless.
+- **Root Cause:** No idempotency key table, no deduplication logic, no request ID storage.
+- **Key Code Reference:** All POST endpoints in `src/routes/*.rs`
+- **PoC Status:** draft-only (static hypothesis)
+- **Detailed Report:** `piolium/findings-draft/p10-013-no-idempotency.md`
+
+---
+
+### Mod Validation Denial of Service (p10-016 — MEDIUM)
+
+- **Severity:** MEDIUM
+- **Summary:** `validate_mod()` parses uploaded JAR constant pools with no timeout or resource limits. A crafted constant pool (cp_count=65535, expensive CONSTANT_Utf8 entries) causes CPU exhaustion on the async runtime.
+- **Impact:** Async thread pool exhaustion; multiple concurrent crafted uploads make the server unresponsive.
+- **Root Cause:** Unbounded `while i < cp_count` loop at `src/mods.rs:173-232` with no timeout wrapping.
+- **Key Code Reference:** `src/mods.rs:173-232` — `scan_single_class()`; `src/routes/mods.rs:109-250` — no timeout around `validate_mod`
+- **PoC Status:** draft-only
+- **Detailed Report:** `piolium/findings-draft/p10-016-mod-validation-denial-of-service.md`
+
+---
+
+### No Encryption at Rest (p10-017 — MEDIUM)
+
+- **Severity:** MEDIUM
+- **Summary:** SQLite database `mcui.db` is stored unencrypted on disk with plaintext RCON passwords. Disclosure via prerequisite file read (p10-001 path traversal) or physical access exposes all secrets.
+- **Root Cause:** `Connection::open(path)` at `src/db.rs:16` with no encryption (no SQLCipher, no individual field encryption).
+- **Key Code Reference:** `src/db.rs:16` — `Connection::open(path)`
+- **PoC Status:** draft-only
+- **Detailed Report:** `piolium/findings-draft/p10-017-no-encryption-at-rest.md`
+
+---
+
+### Logout No Auth Middleware (p10-008 — LOW)
+
+- **Severity:** LOW
+- **Summary:** `POST /logout` is registered outside the `require_auth` protected router group. Any unauthenticated request can reach the logout handler. Requires prior session ID disclosure (UUIDv4, 122-bit entropy) for practical exploitation.
+- **Key Code Reference:** `src/routes/mod.rs:20-33` — logout registered before `.merge(protected)`
+- **PoC Status:** draft-only
+- **Detailed Report:** `piolium/findings-draft/p10-008-logout-no-auth-middleware.md`
+
+---
+
+### Cookie No Secure Flag (p10-009 — LOW)
+
+- **Severity:** LOW
+- **Summary:** Session cookie lacks `Secure` flag. With localhost-bound traffic behind an HTTPS-terminating reverse proxy, the cookie travels unencrypted between proxy and app.
+- **Key Code Reference:** `src/auth.rs:83-86` — cookie string missing `; Secure`
+- **PoC Status:** draft-only
+- **Detailed Report:** `piolium/findings-draft/p10-009-cookie-no-secure-flag.md`
+
+---
+
+### Mod Write Before DB Orphan (p10-014 — LOW)
+
+- **Severity:** LOW
+- **Summary:** `process_jar_upload` writes the mod file to disk before inserting the DB record. A crash between these operations orphans the file (invisible to UI, never cleaned up).
+- **Key Code Reference:** `src/routes/mods.rs:234-260`
+- **PoC Status:** draft-only (static hypothesis)
+- **Detailed Report:** `piolium/findings-draft/p10-014-mod-write-before-db-orphan.md`
+
+---
+
+### Backup Orphan Race (p10-015 — LOW)
+
+- **Severity:** LOW
+- **Summary:** `create_backup` creates the ZIP file before inserting the DB record. Concurrent instance deletion during ZIP creation causes a silently-swallowed FK violation, leaving orphaned ZIP files on disk.
+- **Key Code Reference:** `src/routes/backups.rs:85-139`
+- **PoC Status:** draft-only (requires dynamic test)
+- **Detailed Report:** `piolium/findings-draft/p10-015-backup-orphan-race.md`

+
+### Key Attack Surface Dimensions
+
+1. **38 HTTP routes** — 3 public POST, 1 public GET, 31 authenticated POST, 3 authenticated GET
+2. **5 attacker-controlled input sources** — form fields (instance name, seed, username, motd), multipart uploads (JAR/ZIP files), path parameters (instance ID, backup ID, mod ID), cookie header, outbound Mojang API response
+3. **4 dangerous sinks** — filesystem (create_dir_all, remove_dir_all, File::create, read_to_string), RCON TCP (send_command_async), Docker Unix socket (bollard API), SQLite (rusqlite)
+4. **3 trust boundaries** — unauthenticated→authenticated (session cookie), webUI→filesystem (path traversal), webUI→RCON/Minecraft (command injection)
+
+---
+
+## Coverage Gaps
+
+### Pipeline Failure: Findings Never Promoted
+
+The most significant gap is that **the findings promotion pipeline terminated prematurely** between Phase 12 (variant analysis) and Phase 15 (report assembly):
+
+- `piolium/findings/` — **does not exist** — no finding was ever promoted from draft
+- No PoC scripts were built for any finding
+- No `report.md` files were generated with structured severity/PoC/evidence sections
+- No execution evidence was collected
+- Only 4 of 17 findings received adversarial review (P11 cold verification)
+- No `metadata.json` files were created for variant-parent tracking
+- Validating script (`validate_phase_output.py`) not present at expected path
+
+### Static Analysis Gaps
+
+- **CodeQL database could not be built** — the Rust analyzer version mismatch prevented database construction. Only structural extraction (call graphs, entry points, sinks) was performed from manual review.
+- **Semgrep Pro** not available — cross-file taint analysis was not performed for Rust
+- **No automated sink-to-source tracing** — all data flow mapping was manual
+
+### Multi-User Deployment Not Analyzed for Scale
+
+- The flat authorization model (p10-010) was assessed as MEDIUM based on single-user assumptions
+- In a multi-user deployment (2+ users), the severity of p10-010 + p10-001 + p10-005 escalates to CRITICAL
+- No instance-level access control, audit logging, or rate limiting for user actions
+
+### Encryption & Key Management
+
+- No encryption at rest (p10-017)
+- RCON passwords stored in plaintext
+- No TLS termination handled by the application (delegated to reverse proxy)
+- Session IDs stored in unencrypted SQLite
+
+### Supply Chain Not Scanned
+
+- 19 Rust crate dependencies listed in SBOM but no automated vulnerability scan (cargo-audit not integrated)
+- Outbound Mojang API calls not constrained (no TLS pinning, no timeout documented)
+
+---
+
+## Methodology Notes
+
+### Chamber Workspace Summary
+
+The Phase 10 adversarial review chamber processed 37 finding candidates across 6 clusters:
+
+| Cluster | Attack Class | Candidates | Valid Survivors | Rejected |
+|---------|-------------|-----------|-----------------|----------|
+| path-traversal | Path Traversal & File System | 7 | 1 (H-01) | 6 |
+| injection | Injection (RCON, Docker, Properties) | 5 | 2 (H-08, H-10) | 3 |
+| auth-session | Auth & Session Management | 9 | 4 (H-13, H-14, H-16, H-17) | 5 |
+| state-concurrency | State & Concurrency | 6 | 5 | 1 |
+| denial-of-service | Denial of Service | 4 | 1 (H-28) | 3 |
+| security-architecture | Security Architecture | 6 | 1 (H-33) | 5 |
+| **Total** | | **37** | **17** | **20** |
+
+**Rejection breakdown:** 7 FALSE POSITIVE, 8 DROP, 5 DUPLICATE
+
+### Cold Verification (P11)
+
+4 findings subjected to adversarial review:
+- **p10-001** (Instance Name Path Traversal): CONFIRMED — severity HIGH→HIGH (no change)
+- **p10-003** (Level-Seed Properties Injection): CONFIRMED — severity HIGH→HIGH (no change)
+- **p10-004** (RCON Password Exposed): DISPROVED — password never rendered in edit.html template (Askama explicit-field model)
+- **p10-005** (Missing CSRF Protection): CONFIRMED — severity HIGH→MEDIUM challenged, rejected by chamber (CSRF+chain attacks warrant HIGH)
+
+### Variant Analysis (P12)
+
+4 new variant instances discovered from AP-001 root cause search:
+- All 4 come from instance name path traversal pattern
+- Zero variants found for the remaining 13 findings
+- The path traversal pattern (AP-001) is the most pervasive vulnerability class with 12 total confirmed instances
+
+### Attack Pattern Registry
+
+5 attack patterns documented in `piolium/attack-pattern-registry.json`:
+- AP-001: Path Traversal via Unsanitized Instance Name (12 instances)
+- AP-002: RCON Command Injection via Unsanitized Username (6 instances)
+- AP-003: Java Properties Injection via Unsanitized Seed Value (1 instance)
+- AP-004: Missing CSRF Protection (31 endpoints)
+- AP-005: No Server-Side Session TTL Enforcement (1 query)
+
+---
+
+## Conclusion
+
+This audit catalogued 17 validated vulnerabilities across the minecraft-ui codebase. The most severe class — **path traversal via unsanitized instance names** — creates a systemic risk: any authenticated user can read, write, and delete files anywhere the webUI process can access. The absence of CSRF protection (31 endpoints) and per-resource authorization means that a single compromised account (or a cross-site request from a victim's browser) grants full control over all server instances, their files, and their Minecraft consoles.
+
+The application's security posture is appropriate _only_ for its documented single-user, localhost-only deployment model. Any deployment that:
+- Exposes the WebUI beyond localhost
+- Adds a second user account
+- Sits behind a reverse proxy without CSRF middleware at the proxy layer
+- Does not validate instance names at the input layer
+
+...faces unacceptable risk of data loss, privilege escalation, and persistent compromise.
+
+**Pipeline note:** The audit's findings-draft→findings promotion failed. The 17 validated findings, 4 variants, and 5 attack patterns documented in this report are derived from draft-level analysis without confirmed PoC execution. A follow-up audit should focus on building working PoCs for the critical and high-severity findings and executing them against a deployed instance to confirm exploitability and impact in a real environment.
+
+---
+
+## Deferred Findings (triage skip)
+
+*No findings were triaged to `piolium/findings-deferred/`. The `piolium/findings-deferred/` directory does not exist because no findings were promoted past the draft stage. All 17 validated findings remain at investigative (draft) status.*
