Summary

Enforce mTLS + OAuth authentication on all exposed O-RAN ocloudNotifications v2 REST APIs, implementing CNF-26787. This supersedes the WIP #109, which only protected the mutating endpoints.

Based on O-RAN CR RHT-2025.05.13-O-RAN-CR-0003 "Remove Localhost Constraints".

What changed

  • v2/auth.go — new TokenValidator interface + TokenInfo (no in-library JWT parsing — the previous ParseUnverified approach was the vulnerability). Loopback fast-path, mTLS via VerifyClientCertIfGiven, OAuth delegated to an injected validator. validateEndpointURI rejects SSRF targets (link-local, multicast, unspecified, 169.254.169.254). Exported ApplyTLSProfile applies a centrally-managed TLS profile (min version + IANA cipher suites) per CNF-21982 for PQC readiness.
  • v2/server.goAuthConfig schema: RequiredAudiences, TLSMinVersion, TLSCipherSuites; dropped OAuthIssuer/JWKSURL/RequiredScopes. Server + HTTP client use ApplyTLSProfile; no InsecureSkipVerify.
  • v2/routes.go — all 5 GET routes now require auth; createSubscription/createPublisher validate the subscriber callback URI.

This commit introduces comprehensive authentication support for the cloud event
notifications REST API v2, enabling secure communication in production environments.

**Authentication Methods:**
- mTLS (Mutual TLS) authentication with client certificate validation
- OAuth JWT token authentication with strict issuer validation
- Support for both OpenShift OAuth server and Kubernetes ServiceAccount tokens
- Flexible authentication configuration via JSON config files

**OpenShift Integration:**
- Native OpenShift Service CA integration for automatic certificate management
- OpenShift OAuth server integration for JWT token validation
- ServiceAccount-based authentication for pod-to-pod communication
- Dynamic cluster name configuration for multi-cluster deployments

**Security Features:**
- Strict OAuth validation with issuer verification
- Comprehensive token validation (expiration, audience, signature)
- Client certificate validation with configurable CA trust
- Path-based authentication middleware (health endpoints bypass auth)
- Localhost connection support for internal health checks

**Configuration Options:**
- JSON-based authentication configuration
- Support for OpenShift Service CA and cert-manager
- Configurable OAuth scopes and audience validation
- Environment-based cluster name configuration

**Core Implementation:**
- `v2/auth.go`: OAuth and mTLS authentication middleware and validation logic
- `v2/server.go`: Enhanced server with authentication support and TLS configuration
- `go.mod`/`go.sum`: Added golang-jwt/jwt/v5 dependency for JWT validation

**Documentation:**
- `AUTHENTICATION.md`: Comprehensive authentication configuration guide
- `OPENSHIFT_AUTHENTICATION.md`: OpenShift-specific deployment and configuration
- `README.md`: Updated with authentication feature overview and links

**Examples and Templates:**
- `auth-config-example.json`: Example authentication configuration
- `examples/openshift-auth-config.json`: OpenShift-specific configuration template
- `examples/openshift-manifests.yaml`: Complete OpenShift deployment manifests
- `examples/README.md`: Documentation for example configurations

- **Multi-Issuer Support**: Accepts both OpenShift OAuth tokens and Kubernetes ServiceAccount tokens
- **Strict Validation**: No authentication bypass mechanisms, exact issuer matching required
- **Comprehensive Error Handling**: Clear error messages without exposing sensitive information
- **Production Ready**: Designed for secure production deployments in OpenShift clusters

- Authentication is optional and configurable
- Existing deployments continue to work without authentication
- Health check endpoints remain accessible for monitoring
- Graceful fallback for non-authenticated deployments

This implementation provides enterprise-grade security for cloud event notifications
while maintaining compatibility with existing deployments and supporting flexible
authentication scenarios across different Kubernetes environments.

Resolves authentication requirements for secure cloud event communication in
production OpenShift environments.

This commit updates the O-RAN Cloud Notification API specification (oran.md)
to include comprehensive authentication and security documentation:

Authentication Mechanisms:
- Added new Chapter 4: Authentication and Security
- Documented mTLS (Mutual TLS) authentication at transport layer
- Documented OAuth 2.0 authentication at application layer
- Described dual authentication approach (mTLS + OAuth)

Security Features:
- Certificate-based client authentication (X.509)
- Bearer token authentication (JWT - JSON Web Tokens)
- Support for OpenShift OAuth and Kubernetes ServiceAccount tokens
- Token validation: issuer, audience, signature, expiration, scopes
- Certificate verification against trusted CA
- OpenShift Service CA integration

Authentication Requirements:
- Added authentication requirements table by endpoint and HTTP method
- POST /subscriptions: requires authentication (mTLS and/or OAuth)
- DELETE /subscriptions: requires authentication
- DELETE /subscriptions/{id}: requires authentication
- GET endpoints: public (no authentication required)
- /health endpoint: always public

Response Codes:
- Added 401 Unauthorized responses to POST and DELETE operations
- Updated response code descriptions with authentication details
- Clarified error scenarios for failed authentication

Security Considerations:
- Certificate management best practices
- Token management and lifecycle
- RBAC integration with Kubernetes ServiceAccount tokens
- Localhost exception for Helper/Sidecar containers
- Defense-in-depth security model

Configuration Examples:
- mTLS client certificate authentication example
- OAuth 2.0 Bearer token authentication example
- Dual authentication (mTLS + OAuth) example
- curl command examples for all authentication scenarios

Updated Documentation:
- Enhanced Authorization header description with OAuth details
- Added note about mTLS certificate verification at TLS layer
- Updated Table of Contents with new authentication chapter
- Maintained O-RAN specification formatting and structure

This update aligns the O-RAN specification with the implemented
authentication features in rest-api v2 and provides comprehensive
guidance for Event Consumers implementing secure API access.

Extend the WIP auth work to satisfy CNF-26787 and the related security
bugs (OCPBUGS-116059/116202/116139/116791/116817):

- Replace insecure JWT ParseUnverified (no signature check) with a
  TokenValidator interface. rest-api stays free of any Kubernetes client
  dependency; cloud-event-proxy supplies a TokenReview-based validator.
  Fail closed when OAuth is enabled but no validator is installed. Drop
  the golang-jwt dependency.
- Apply authentication to ALL data endpoints (GET reads and CurrentState
  included), not just mutating ones. /health and / stay open for probes.
- mTLS: use VerifyClientCertIfGiven so the trusted loopback fast-path
  (same-pod) still works while any presented certificate is verified
  against the CA pool; the middleware requires a verified certificate for
  all non-loopback requests.
- Honor the centrally-managed TLS profile (CNF-21982): apply MinVersion
  and CipherSuites from AuthConfig instead of hardcoding TLS 1.2/defaults.
- Remove InsecureSkipVerify on the endpoint-validation HTTPClient; verify
  against the CA pool. Add SSRF hardening (validateEndpointURI) on
  subscriber/publisher callback URIs, rejecting link-local, multicast,
  unspecified and cloud-metadata addresses.

Rename applyTLSProfile to ApplyTLSProfile so cloud-event-proxy's client
config can apply the same centrally-managed TLS profile (min version and
cipher suites) when building its mTLS client, keeping server and client
TLS policy consistent per CNF-21982.

- Set an explicit TLS 1.2 floor on the endpoint-validation client and the
  mTLS listener config so gosec G402 is satisfied; ApplyTLSProfile still
  raises MinVersion to the cluster-configured floor.
- Add isBlockedDialIP + newSafeDialContext: resolve the callback host and
  reject link-local, cloud-metadata, multicast and unspecified addresses
  before connecting (dialing the resolved IP closes the DNS-rebinding
  window). RFC1918/ULA and loopback stay allowed since consumers run as
  cluster Pods and RHT-0003 permits in-pod localhost callbacks.
- Refuse to follow redirects during endpoint validation (CheckRedirect).
- Add internal tests for the SSRF policy, loopback detection and TLS
  profile application.

Design note on the SSRF hardening (pre-empting the CWE-918 review from #112, which this PR supersedes):

Implemented as suggested:

  • Address policy is now enforced at every dial, not just on the URL host string. newSafeDialContext (v2/auth.go) resolves the destination and rejects the connection if any resolved address is blocked, then dials the already-resolved IP directly — this closes the DNS-rebinding TOCTOU window between validation and connect.
  • Redirects can no longer reach a blocked address: the endpoint-validation client uses noRedirectPolicy (http.ErrUseLastResponse), so 3xx responses are returned unfollowed.

Deliberately NOT blocking RFC1918 / IPv6 ULA / loopback. In this domain those are legitimate, expected destinations, so blocking them would break normal operation:

  • Event consumers routinely run as cluster Pods with private (RFC1918/ULA) IPs; subscriber EndpointUri callbacks target them directly.
  • O-RAN RHT-0003 explicitly allows in-pod localhost callbacks.

isBlockedDialIP therefore blocks only the addresses with no legitimate use here: link-local (incl. IPv4 IMDS 169.254.169.254), the IPv6 metadata ULA fd00:ec2::254, multicast, and unspecified. This is covered by TestIsBlockedDialIP / TestValidateEndpointURI in v2/auth_internal_test.go.

✅ Action performed

Full review finished.

- Add //nolint:gosec directives to TestApplyTLSProfile: the empty
  tls.Config literals are intentional — the test verifies that
  ApplyTLSProfile sets the MinVersion floor.
- Remove two per-clientID subscription store JSON files that were
  accidentally committed; in CI they pre-seed the store and cause
  CreateSubscription tests to fail with "already exists" / empty body.
- Gitignore UUID-named store files (storePath ".") so test runs can't
  re-commit them.

In `@AUTHENTICATION.md`:
- Around line 51-55: Update AUTHENTICATION.md so GET /subscriptions, GET
/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}, GET /publishers, GET /publishers/{publisherid},
and GET /{ResourceAddress}/CurrentState are listed as protected endpoints rather
than public, and revise the accompanying examples to show authentication
credentials.
- Around line 111-119: Update AUTHENTICATION.md, OPENSHIFT_AUTHENTICATION.md,
and README.md at the specified ranges and all related examples to match
AuthConfig: replace obsolete OAuth fields with requiredAudiences, state that
TokenValidator owns issuer, signature, expiration, and other token checks, and
remove claims that the library parses JWTs or validates issuers locally.

In `@examples/openshift-manifests.yaml`:
- Around line 79-87: Add a least-privilege ClusterRole granting
cloud-event-proxy-sa create access to authentication.k8s.io/tokenreviews, plus a
ClusterRoleBinding associating that role with the ServiceAccount. Inspect the
OAuth validator before adding any SubjectAccessReview permission, and include it
only if the validator actually uses that resource.
- Line 58: Update the AuthConfig manifest to use the supported requiredAudiences
field with https://kubernetes.default.svc, and remove the unsupported OAuth
issuer, JWKS, and scope fields. Ensure the resulting configuration supplies this
audience to TokenValidator.
- Around line 154-156: Add a Service CA-injected ConfigMap volume containing the
service-ca.crt key, and mount it at /etc/cloud-event-proxy/ca-bundle so
initMTLSCACertPool can load the intended CA bundle. Keep the existing
cloud-event-proxy-tls secret volume for TLS certificate and key material.

In `@v2/auth_internal_test.go`:
- Line 107: Update the three zero-value tls.Config expressions used by the
ApplyTLSProfile tests with narrow //nolint:gosec suppressions, including a brief
justification that the zero values are required to verify minimum-version
installation.

In `@v2/auth.go`:
- Around line 208-209: Update ApplyTLSProfile to reject TLS versions below TLS
1.2 for both server and client configurations, preserving TLS 1.2 as the minimum
regardless of the profile. Build the cipher lookup using only
tls.CipherSuites(), excluding tls.InsecureCipherSuites().

In `@v2/routes.go`:
- Line 81: Configure the rest client used before PostCloudEvent with
newSafeDialContext or an equivalent resolving dialer, rather than relying on the
default transport. Ensure hostname resolution is revalidated against blocked
addresses at connection time while preserving the existing validateEndpointURI
check.
- Around line 81-85: Update restclient.New to configure its http.Client
CheckRedirect callback to return http.ErrUseLastResponse, matching the redirect
rejection already used by s.HTTPClient in both configuration branches. Apply
this root-cause fix for the affected call paths at v2/routes.go lines 81-85 and
207-211; no direct changes are needed at those route validation sites.

In `@v2/server.go`:
- Around line 312-314: Update InitServer’s initMTLSCACertPool error path to
return the initialization error or otherwise prevent Start from marking the
server started; do not continue configuring RootCAs or ClientCAs with a nil pool
after failure, while preserving normal startup when CA initialization succeeds.
- Line 379: Remove InsecureSkipVerify from the TLS configuration used by the
health client for EndPointHealthChk, and ensure the localhost health-check
certificate includes localhost as a SAN so normal certificate-chain and hostname
verification remains enabled.

In `@v2/swagger.json`:
- Line 30: Update the Swagger authentication contract: replace the incorrect
basic scheme with mutual TLS support or the selected tooling’s vendor extension,
restrict authenticated traffic schemes to https, and add the required security
declarations plus 401 responses to both protected GET subscription operations
wrapped by applyAuth(..., true).
- Around line 26-27: Update the server configuration and startup flow so any
deployment with EnableOAuth enabled requires TLS, rejecting configurations where
EnableOAuth is true and EnableMTLS is false instead of calling ListenAndServe.
Update the OpenAPI scheme declaration in v2/swagger.json to advertise only
HTTPS, while preserving non-OAuth behavior.

The GetCurrentState tests reuse the server's outbound endpoint-validation
HTTPClient, which now enforces a no-redirect policy (SSRF safeguard). Those
tests built the request URL as apPath + "/"-prefixed resource, yielding a
double slash (".../v2//east-edge-...") that gorilla/mux answers with a 301
to the cleaned path. The old default client silently followed the redirect;
the hardened client returns the 301 unfollowed, so the tests saw an empty
body / wrong status.

Strip the leading slash so the URL is well-formed (single slash) and the
request reaches the handler directly, as a real O-RAN consumer would. No
production behavior change; the SSRF no-redirect safeguard stays intact.

…ed CA, doc/swagger fixes

Security and documentation fixes from CodeRabbit review on redhat-cne#113:

- routes.go: route the subscription initial-notification POST through the
  server's SSRF-hardened HTTPClient (resolve-then-validate dialer + no-redirect
  policy) via new restclient.NewWithClient, instead of the default client which
  follows redirects and dials arbitrary resolved addresses. restclient.New is
  left unchanged.
- server.go: fail closed when mTLS is enabled but the CA certificate pool cannot
  be initialized (missing/invalid CACertPath) - Start() now refuses to serve TLS
  with a nil pool rather than continuing with unverifiable client certs.
- swagger.json: schemes https-only; replace the misleading basic-auth security
  definition with an apiKey Bearer definition (Authorization header) noting mTLS
  is also required; add security + 401 to all protected GET operations.
- AUTHENTICATION.md / OPENSHIFT_AUTHENTICATION.md / README.md: replace obsolete
  OAuth fields (oauthIssuer/oauthJWKSURL/requiredScopes/requiredAudience) with
  requiredAudiences and document that token issuer/signature/expiry/audience are
  validated by the Kubernetes TokenReview API; move the GET routes from "public"
  to "protected" to match the code.
- examples/openshift-manifests.yaml: use requiredAudiences; add a TokenReview
  ClusterRole + ClusterRoleBinding for the server SA; source the CA bundle from
  the injected Service CA ConfigMap (service-ca.crt) rather than the serving-cert
  Secret, consistent with the fail-closed CA behavior.

The mTLS ApplyTLSProfile floor and the health-check InsecureSkipVerify are
intentionally unchanged (central TLS profile adherence per CNF-21982/21769/22665
and in-pod loopback health checks, respectively).

The base-path route (api.HandleFunc("/", ...)) echoed the raw *http.Request
back to the caller via fmt.Fprintln(w, r). It was debug scaffolding from the
original v2 API commit: no callers, tests, docs, or swagger operations
reference it, and the health probe uses /health rather than the base path.
It also reflected caller-supplied request contents back unauthenticated,
which serves no purpose. Removing it; GET on the base path now returns 404.

The HTTP server only set ReadHeaderTimeout, leaving slow/stalled clients and
idle keep-alive connections unbounded. Add:
  - WriteTimeout (30s): caps request-body read + response write; set above the
    10s outbound initial-notification POST performed during createSubscription.
  - IdleTimeout (60s): bounds retention of idle keep-alive connections so a
    connection-hoarding flood cannot exhaust the listener.
  - MaxHeaderBytes (1 MiB): caps per-connection header memory.

Defense-in-depth against connection-exhaustion DoS on the port; behavior for
normal (small, fast) API traffic is unchanged.

In `@v2/server.go`:
- Line 694: Update the HTTP server configuration near WriteTimeout to set
ReadTimeout, choosing a duration appropriate for reading the largest supported
request body; retain the existing ReadHeaderTimeout and WriteTimeout behavior.

In `@v2/swagger.json`:
- Line 32: The Swagger authentication metadata currently declares BearerToken
unconditionally alongside mTLS; update the security definition or
protected-operation metadata so requirements reflect EnableMTLS and EnableOAuth
configuration, using deployment-specific OpenAPI generation or a supported
conditional extension. Ensure mTLS-only deployments do not advertise OAuth as
mandatory while preserving the correct requirements when OAuth is enabled.

- Around line 249-251: Update the ca-bundle volume in the OpenShift
authentication example to use the Service CA-injected
cloud-event-proxy-ca-bundle ConfigMap instead of the cloud-event-proxy-tls
Secret, matching the configuration in openshift-manifests.yaml and preserving
the ca-bundle name.
- Around line 163-186: The RBAC example currently omits permissions required for
bearer-token validation. Extend the documented manifests with the
cloud-event-proxy-tokenreview ClusterRole and matching ClusterRoleBinding from
examples/openshift-manifests.yaml, granting the cloud-event-proxy-sa
ServiceAccount permission to create TokenReview resources while preserving the
existing namespaced Role and RoleBinding.

Comment thread v2/server.go
Comment thread v2/swagger.json Outdated
Add ReadTimeout to the HTTP server. ReadHeaderTimeout only covers header
reads and WriteTimeout does not bound request-body reads, so a client
could dribble a POST body to pin a handler goroutine indefinitely
(Slowloris on the request body, CWE-400). Request bodies are small JSON
documents, so the read deadline is set to the same generous ceiling as
the write side.

Clarify the swagger BearerToken definition to state the security
requirements are configuration-dependent: the Bearer token is required
only when OAuth is enabled and mTLS only when mTLS is enabled, and
loopback requests bypass both. Swagger 2.0 cannot express conditional
security, so this is documented in the definition description.
