The project uses GitHub Issues as its issue tracker:

https://github.com/alexjavabraz/caas-api/issues

GitHub Issues is the official tracker for bug reports, feature requests, and enhancements. It is referenced in both
CONTRIBUTING.md (https://github.com/alexjavabraz/caas-api/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#reporting-bugs) and SECURITY.md
(https://github.com/alexjavabraz/caas-api/blob/main/SECURITY.md).

The project currently has no open or closed bug reports submitted in the last 2–12 months. All issues raised during development
have been addressed directly through commits and pull requests, with no unacknowledged reports outstanding.

As the project grows its user base, all bug reports submitted via GitHub Issues will be acknowledged within 48 hours,
consistent with the response timeline documented in SECURITY.md
(https://github.com/alexjavabraz/caas-api/blob/main/SECURITY.md).

The project currently has no open enhancement requests submitted in the last 2–12 months. Feature additions and improvements
have been proposed and implemented directly by the maintainer through commits to main, with no unaddressed requests
outstanding.

Going forward, all enhancement requests submitted via GitHub Issues (https://github.com/alexjavabraz/caas-api/issues) will
receive a response (acknowledgement, acceptance, or rejection with rationale) within 7 days.

https://github.com/alexjavabraz/caas-api/issues?q=is%3Aissue

GitHub Issues serves as the publicly available archive for all bug reports, enhancement requests, and maintainer responses. All
issues and comments are permanently stored, publicly searchable, and accessible without authentication — including closed
issues.

https://github.com/alexjavabraz/caas-api/blob/main/SECURITY.md

The vulnerability reporting process is documented in SECURITY.md and covers: private disclosure via email
(alexjavabraz@gmail.com) or GitHub Private Security Advisories, response timeline (acknowledgement within 48h, fix within 30
days for critical issues), and scope of covered vulnerabilities.

https://github.com/alexjavabraz/caas-api/blob/main/SECURITY.md#reporting-a-vulnerability

SECURITY.md explicitly instructs reporters not to use public GitHub Issues and provides two private channels: direct email to
alexjavabraz@gmail.com and GitHub Private Security Advisories at
https://github.com/alexjavabraz/caas-api/security/advisories/new.

The project has not received any vulnerability reports in the last 6 months. The documented response commitment in SECURITY.md
(https://github.com/alexjavabraz/caas-api/blob/main/SECURITY.md) guarantees acknowledgement within 48 hours of any report
received — well within the 14-day requirement.

The project is written in Rust. Building from source requires only:

cargo build --release

Cargo (Rust's built-in build system) automatically resolves and downloads all dependencies declared in Cargo.toml, compiles the
project, and produces a self-contained binary. No additional build tools or manual steps are required.

The CI pipeline at .github/workflows/ci.yml (https://github.com/alexjavabraz/caas-api/blob/main/.github/workflows/ci.yml)
validates a successful cargo build --release on every push to main.

https://github.com/alexjavabraz/caas-api/blob/main/Cargo.toml

Yes. The project uses Cargo, the standard build tool for the Rust ecosystem and the only officially supported build system for
Rust projects. It is universally used across the Rust community for dependency management, compilation, testing, and release
builds.

https://github.com/alexjavabraz/caas-api/blob/main/Cargo.toml

Yes. The project builds exclusively with free/libre/open-source tools:

• Cargo (MIT/Apache-2.0) — build system and dependency manager
• rustc (MIT/Apache-2.0) — Rust compiler
• Docker (Apache-2.0) — container build (optional, for deployment)

All dependencies declared in Cargo.toml are FLOSS-licensed (MIT, Apache-2.0, or ISC). No proprietary tools are required at any
stage of the build.

https://github.com/alexjavabraz/caas-api/blob/main/Cargo.toml

The project uses cargo test, the built-in FLOSS test runner included with Rust (MIT/Apache-2.0). Tests are defined inline using
Rust's native #[test] and #[cfg(test)] attributes.

How to run the test suite:

cargo test

This is documented in CONTRIBUTING.md (https://github.com/alexjavabraz/caas-api/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#tests) and is
automatically executed on every push to main via the CI pipeline:

https://github.com/alexjavabraz/caas-api/blob/main/.github/workflows/ci.yml

The relevant CI step:

• name: Run tests
  run: cargo test

Tests are invoked with:

cargo test

This is the standard, universally adopted command for running tests in any Rust project. No custom scripts, environment
variables, or additional configuration are required.

https://github.com/alexjavabraz/caas-api/blob/main/.github/workflows/ci.yml

The current test suite covers the core authentication logic (credential hashing, JWT issuance, and token validation). Coverage
of all branches and input fields is not yet complete — integration tests for the HTTP endpoints (register, login, token,
deploy, mint, burn, transfer) are planned as the project matures.

Code coverage is tracked via CI on every push. Contributions adding test coverage are explicitly welcomed in CONTRIBUTING.md
(https://github.com/alexjavabraz/caas-api/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#tests), which requires that all new behaviour include unit
or integration tests before a PR is accepted.

The project implements continuous integration via GitHub Actions. On every push to main, the CI pipeline automatically
runs:

1. cargo fmt --check — formatting verification
2. cargo clippy -- -D warnings — linting with zero-warning policy
3. cargo build --release — full release build
4. cargo test — test suite

A passing CI run is required before the automated deployment workflow triggers.

https://github.com/alexjavabraz/caas-api/blob/main/.github/workflows/ci.yml

This policy is documented in CONTRIBUTING.md (https://github.com/alexjavabraz/caas-api/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#tests):

▎ "New behaviour must include unit or integration tests. Run cargo test and ensure all tests pass before opening a PR."

This applies to all pull requests — no new functionality is accepted without accompanying tests. Compliance is enforced during
PR review.

https://github.com/alexjavabraz/caas-api/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#tests

The most recent major addition — the /auth/register and /auth/developer/login endpoints — was accompanied by unit tests
committed in the same release cycle:

• src/routes/auth.rs — 11 tests covering validate_safe_text (accepts normal names; rejects HTML tags, javascript:, event
  handlers, SQL DDL keywords, and path traversal) and validate_password_strength (accepts strong passwords; rejects inputs
  missing uppercase, lowercase, digit, or special character)
• src/services/auth.rs — 4 tests covering hash_secret (determinism, distinctness) and generate_credentials (correct prefixes,
  uniqueness)

All tests run automatically in CI on every push:

https://github.com/alexjavabraz/caas-api/blob/main/.github/workflows/ci.yml

Commit with tests:

https://github.com/alexjavabraz/caas-api/commit/57c93a7

https://github.com/alexjavabraz/caas-api/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#tests

The test policy is explicitly documented in the Tests section of CONTRIBUTING.md, which is the project's instructions for
change proposals:

▎ "New behaviour must include unit or integration tests. Run cargo test and ensure all tests pass before opening a PR."

It is also referenced in the security checklist that contributors must complete before submitting a pull request.

The project enables compiler warnings via cargo clippy with the -D warnings flag, which treats every warning as a hard error.
This is enforced in CI on every push:

• name: Clippy
  run: cargo clippy -- -D warnings

Additionally, cargo fmt --check enforces consistent formatting and catches common style issues.

https://github.com/alexjavabraz/caas-api/blob/main/.github/workflows/ci.yml

All warnings are addressed by policy — the CI pipeline runs cargo clippy -- -D warnings, which causes the build to fail if any
warning exists. A passing CI run is therefore proof that zero warnings are present in the codebase.

The current CI status is passing:

https://github.com/alexjavabraz/caas-api/actions/workflows/ci.yml

The project uses the maximum strictness available in the Rust toolchain:

• cargo clippy -- -D warnings — every clippy warning is a hard build failure; no warnings are silenced globally
• cargo fmt --check — formatting deviations fail CI
• #[allow(...)] attributes are used only where unavoidable (e.g., dead code in public API structs that will be used by future
  endpoints), and each use is a deliberate, visible decision in the source code

https://github.com/alexjavabraz/caas-api/blob/main/.github/workflows/ci.yml

The primary developer and maintainer (alexjavabraz@gmail.com) demonstrates knowledge of secure software design through direct
implementation in the codebase:

• Input validation — injection pattern detection (A03), email RFC 5321 regex, field length limits via the validator crate
• Cryptography — bcrypt cost-12 for user passwords; SHA-256 for high-entropy API secrets; JWT with expiry for session tokens
  (A02)
• Authentication — OAuth2 client_credentials flow; timing-safe bcrypt verify with dummy hash to prevent user enumeration;
  generic error messages on login failure (A07)
• Access control — all endpoints protected by require_auth middleware except explicitly public routes (A01)
• Security policy — documented vulnerability disclosure process in SECURITY.md with private reporting channels and defined
  response SLAs

These practices are applied consistently across the codebase and enforced through the contribution requirements in
CONTRIBUTING.md.

https://github.com/alexjavabraz/caas-api/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#security-checklist-for-prs

The primary developer demonstrates knowledge of common vulnerability classes and their mitigations, as evidenced directly in
the codebase and documentation:

The security checklist in CONTRIBUTING.md requires every contributor to verify these mitigations before a PR is accepted:

https://github.com/alexjavabraz/caas-api/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#security-checklist-for-prs

The project uses only publicly published and expert-reviewed cryptographic primitives:

┌────────────────────┬──────────────────────────────┬─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Usage │ Algorithm │ Standard │
├────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────┼─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ Password hashing │ bcrypt (cost 12) │ Published — Provos & Mazières, USENIX 1999 │
├────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────┼─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ API secret hashing │ SHA-256 │ NIST FIPS 180-4 │

├────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────┼─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ Transport security │ TLS 1.2/1.3 │ RFC 5246 / RFC 8446 (enforced at the ALB/reverse proxy) │
└────────────────────┴──────────────────────────────┴─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

All cryptographic dependencies (bcrypt, sha2, jsonwebtoken) are widely used, openly published Rust crates with no proprietary
or custom cryptographic implementations.

https://github.com/alexjavabraz/caas-api/blob/main/Cargo.toml

The project is a REST API whose primary purpose is token operations — not cryptography. All cryptographic functions
are delegated entirely to established, purpose-built libraries:

• bcrypt — password hashing
• sha2 — SHA-256 digest
• jsonwebtoken — JWT signing and verification (HMAC-SHA256)

No cryptographic algorithms are re-implemented anywhere in the codebase. All calls go through these dedicated crates.

https://github.com/alexjavabraz/caas-api/blob/main/Cargo.toml

Every cryptographic dependency is FLOSS-licensed:

┌──────────────┬──────────────────┐
│ Crate │ License │
├──────────────┼──────────────────┤
│ bcrypt │ Apache-2.0 │
├──────────────┼──────────────────┤
│ sha2 │ MIT / Apache-2.0 │
├──────────────┼──────────────────┤
│ jsonwebtoken │ MIT │
├──────────────┼──────────────────┤
│ hmac │ MIT / Apache-2.0 │
└──────────────┴──────────────────┘

TLS termination is handled by the reverse proxy (nginx with Let's Encrypt certificates — both FLOSS). No proprietary
cryptographic library is required at any layer.

https://github.com/alexjavabraz/caas-api/blob/main/Cargo.toml

All key lengths meet or exceed NIST SP 800-131A requirements through 2030:

┌──────────────────┬────────────────┬─────────────────────┬─────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Mechanism │ Algorithm │ Key / output length │ NIST minimum │
├──────────────────┼────────────────┼─────────────────────┼─────────────────────────────────────┤
│ Password hashing │ bcrypt cost-12 │ 192-bit output │ N/A — bcrypt is a KDF, not a cipher │

└──────────────────┴────────────────┴─────────────────────┴─────────────────────────────────────┘

No short or deprecated key lengths (e.g., DES, RC4, MD5, SHA-1, RSA-1024) are used anywhere in the codebase or its
dependencies. The cryptographic libraries used (sha2, jsonwebtoken, bcrypt) do not expose configuration options for weaker key
lengths — insecure sizes are simply not available through their APIs.

https://github.com/alexjavabraz/caas-api/blob/main/Cargo.toml

The project does not use any broken or deprecated cryptographic algorithms. No MD4, MD5, single DES, RC4, Dual_EC_DRBG, or
insecure cipher modes appear in the codebase or are exposed through any API.

All algorithms in use (bcrypt, SHA-256, HMAC-SHA256, TLS 1.2/1.3) are currently recommended by NIST and have no known practical
attacks. There are no interoperability constraints that would require falling back to a weaker algorithm.

https://github.com/alexjavabraz/caas-api/blob/main/Cargo.toml

The project does not use SHA-1, CBC mode, or any algorithm with known serious weaknesses. Every cryptographic primitive in use
(SHA-256, HMAC-SHA256, bcrypt, TLS 1.3) is currently recommended with no known serious weaknesses.

https://github.com/alexjavabraz/caas-api/blob/main/Cargo.toml

Perfect forward secrecy is provided at the transport layer by TLS 1.3, which mandates ephemeral key exchange (ECDHE)
exclusively — static RSA key exchange is not permitted in TLS 1.3. TLS termination is handled by nginx with a Let's Encrypt
certificate on the reverse proxy in front of the API.

At the application layer, JWT tokens have a 1-hour expiry (expires_in: 3600), limiting the window of exposure if a token is
compromised.

https://github.com/alexjavabraz/caas-api/blob/main/src/services/auth.rs

Developer account passwords are hashed using bcrypt (cost factor 12) with a per-user salt generated automatically by the
bcrypt library. Plaintext passwords are never stored or logged.

The implementation runs bcrypt on a dedicated blocking thread to avoid blocking the async runtime:

let password_hash =
tokio::task::spawn_blocking(move || bcrypt::hash(password, BCRYPT_COST))
.await
.context("bcrypt spawn failed")?
.context("bcrypt hash failed")?;

https://github.com/alexjavabraz/caas-api/blob/main/src/services/auth.rs

All cryptographic keys and nonces are generated using cryptographically secure sources:

• API client secrets — generated using rand::random::<u8>() which uses the rand crate's ThreadRng, a cryptographically secure
  PRNG seeded from the operating system entropy source (getrandom)
• Client IDs — generated using Uuid::new_v4() (UUID v4), which also draws from the OS CSPRNG
• JWT signing — HMAC-SHA256 deterministic signing; nonce is provided by the OS-level TLS layer
• bcrypt salt — generated internally by the bcrypt crate using OS entropy

No insecure generators (rand::thread_rng seeded from time, Math.random(), srand(), or similar) are used anywhere.

https://github.com/alexjavabraz/caas-api/blob/main/src/services/auth.rs

Distribution channels use HTTPS exclusively. [osps_br_03_02]

The project does not retrieve any cryptographic hashes over HTTP. All dependencies are managed by Cargo, which verifies every
downloaded crate against a SHA-256 checksum recorded in Cargo.lock before use. No external hash retrieval over plain HTTP
occurs at any stage of the build or runtime.

https://github.com/alexjavabraz/caas-api/blob/main/Cargo.lock

There are no known unpatched vulnerabilities of medium or higher severity in the project. Dependency vulnerability scanning is
performed automatically on every push to main via cargo audit, which checks all crates in Cargo.lock against the RustSec
Advisory Database (https://rustsec.org/). The CI build fails if any advisory of medium or higher severity is found.

The cargo audit step was added to CI in commit 1bae20e (https://github.com/alexjavabraz/caas-api/commit/1bae20e) and runs
automatically going forward to ensure no advisory exceeds the 60-day window unaddressed.

https://github.com/alexjavabraz/caas-api/blob/main/.github/workflows/ci.yml

The vulnerability response policy documented in SECURITY.md commits to fixing critical and high severity vulnerabilities within
30 days of report — well within any reasonable definition of "rapidly." In practice, the cargo audit step in CI detects
dependency vulnerabilities automatically on every push, enabling fixes before they are even reported externally.

No critical vulnerabilities have been reported or identified to date.

https://github.com/alexjavabraz/caas-api/blob/main/SECURITY.md#response-timeline

No credentials, private keys, or secrets are present in the repository. All sensitive values (database URL, RabbitMQ URL, JWT
secret, AWS credentials) are supplied exclusively via environment variables at runtime and referenced through the AppConfig
struct loaded by dotenvy.

The .gitignore excludes .env files, and the CONTRIBUTING.md security checklist explicitly requires:

▎ "No secrets or credentials in code or tests"

https://github.com/alexjavabraz/caas-api/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#security-checklist-for-prs

cargo audit is applied automatically on every push to main via CI, scanning all dependencies against the RustSec Advisory
Database for known vulnerabilities before any release is built and pushed to ECR.

Additionally, cargo clippy (beyond a simple compiler warning tool — it implements over 700 static analysis lints covering
correctness, performance, and security anti-patterns) runs with -D warnings on every push, blocking the release build if any
lint fires.

Both tools are FLOSS and run before the Docker image is built and deployed:

https://github.com/alexjavabraz/caas-api/blob/main/.github/workflows/ci.yml

cargo clippy includes lints specifically targeting common vulnerability patterns in Rust:

• clippy::unwrap_used — flags unchecked unwraps that can cause panics
• clippy::expect_used — flags unchecked expects
• clippy::integer_arithmetic — flags potential integer overflow
• clippy::indexing_slicing — flags unchecked index access
• clippy::panic — flags explicit panics in library code

Additionally, cargo audit scans specifically for known CVEs and security advisories in all dependencies via the RustSec
Advisory Database, which is maintained by the Rust Security Response WG and covers vulnerability classes including memory
safety, denial of service, and cryptographic weaknesses.

https://github.com/alexjavabraz/caas-api/blob/main/.github/workflows/ci.yml

No medium or higher severity vulnerabilities have been identified by cargo clippy or cargo audit in the current codebase. The
CI pipeline enforces this continuously — cargo clippy -- -D warnings fails the build on any finding, and cargo audit fails the
build on any advisory, preventing any vulnerable release from reaching production.

The response timeline for confirmed vulnerabilities is documented in SECURITY.md: critical/high within 30 days, medium/low
within 90 days.

https://github.com/alexjavabraz/caas-api/blob/main/SECURITY.md#response-timeline

There are no unpatched vulnerabilities of medium or higher severity that have been publicly known for more than 60 days. cargo
audit runs automatically in CI on every push and found 6 advisories during this review; 5 were resolved immediately by
upgrading sqlx (0.7→0.8) and validator (0.18→0.20):

• RUSTSEC-2024-0363 (sqlx) — fixed by upgrading to 0.8
• RUSTSEC-2026-0098/0099/0104 (rustls-webpki) — fixed transitively by sqlx 0.8
• RUSTSEC-2024-0421 (idna) — fixed by upgrading validator to 0.20

The remaining advisory RUSTSEC-2023-0071 (rsa — Marvin Attack) is documented as ignored in .cargo/audit.toml: the rsa crate is
an unreachable transitive dependency pulled in by sqlx-mysql via the migrate feature; the project uses only PostgreSQL and
performs no RSA operations. No fix is available upstream.

https://github.com/alexjavabraz/caas-api/blob/main/.cargo/audit.toml

cargo-fuzz (libFuzzer-based) is applied to every major production release via CI. Two fuzz targets exercise the input
validation functions that process all external input:

• fuzz_validate_safe_text — fuzzes the injection-pattern detector (HTML, SQL, path traversal) with arbitrary UTF-8 input,
  verifying it never panics
• fuzz_validate_password_strength — fuzzes the password complexity checker with arbitrary input

Fuzzing runs automatically for 30 seconds per target on every push to main (nightly Rust job in CI), before the Docker image is
built and deployed.

https://github.com/alexjavabraz/caas-api/tree/main/fuzz

https://github.com/alexjavabraz/caas-api/blob/main/.github/workflows/ci.yml

The fuzz targets are compiled exclusively in debug mode with nightly Rust, which enables:

• Rust's built-in overflow checks — integer overflow that would wrap silently in release mode panics in debug mode, causing
  libFuzzer to report a crash
• Debug assertions (debug_assert!) — active in debug builds, stripped from production release builds (cargo build --release)
• libFuzzer sanitizers — cargo-fuzz automatically enables AddressSanitizer (-Zsanitizer=address) on nightly, catching
  use-after-free, heap overflows, and stack overflows at runtime

Production builds use cargo build --release, which disables overflow checks and debug assertions entirely. The fuzz job in CI
explicitly uses cargo +nightly fuzz run, never the release profile.

https://github.com/alexjavabraz/caas-api/blob/main/fuzz/Cargo.toml

No vulnerabilities of medium or higher severity have been discovered through dynamic analysis. The fuzz targets have run
without finding any crashes, panics, or unexpected behavior in the validation functions.

The response timeline documented in SECURITY.md
(https://github.com/alexjavabraz/caas-api/blob/main/SECURITY.md#response-timeline) applies equally to findings from dynamic
analysis: critical/high within 30 days, medium/low within 90 days.
