HashiQube Issues Report

Security Issues

  1. Hardcoded Credentials

    • Location: docker/docker.sh (lines 73-77)
    • Issue: Admin username/password (admin/password) hardcoded in plaintext
    • Risk: Credential exposure in version control
    • Recommendation: Use environment variables or Vault for credential storage

  2. Exposed Vault Root Token

    • Location: vault/vault.sh
    • Issue: Root token stored in plaintext in /etc/vault/init.file and exposed in output
    • Risk: Potential unauthorized access to Vault with root privileges
    • Recommendation: Generate temporary tokens with limited scope, automate token revocation

  3. Default Credentials in Welcome Message

    • Location: Various welcome/output messages
    • Issue: Exposing credentials like admin/P@ssw0rd in terminal output
    • Risk: Security through obscurity failure
    • Recommendation: Require users to set passwords during first login

  4. Standard SSH Keys

    • Location: Dockerfile (lines 49-51)
    • Issue: Using standard Vagrant public key which is publicly known
    • Risk: Unauthorized SSH access
    • Recommendation: Generate unique SSH keys during provisioning

Compatibility Issues

  1. Docker Provider Limitations

    • Location: Vagrantfile (lines 157-168)
    • Issue: Docker provider doesn't work on Windows or in WSL2
    • Impact: Limited platform support
    • Recommendation: Provide clear workarounds or alternatives for Windows users

  2. Architecture-Specific Code

    • Location: Various component scripts
    • Issue: Inconsistent architecture handling across components
    • Impact: Unexpected failures on non-x86 systems
    • Recommendation: Standardize architecture detection and handling

  3. Apple Silicon (M1/M2) Support

    • Location: Various scripts
    • Issue: Inconsistent ARM64 compatibility
    • Impact: Degraded experience on newer Mac hardware
    • Recommendation: Test and optimize all components for ARM64

Resource Management

  1. Fixed Port Assignments

    • Location: Vagrantfile (lines 74-133)
    • Issue: Numerous hardcoded port mappings with no fallback mechanism
    • Impact: Port conflicts with existing services
    • Recommendation: Implement dynamic port allocation with fallbacks

  2. High Resource Requirements

    • Location: Various component configurations
    • Issue: Multiple resource-intensive components without prioritization
    • Impact: Poor performance on systems with limited resources
    • Recommendation: Implement resource-aware component activation

  3. Virtualbox Memory Allocation

    • Location: Vagrantfile (line 13)
    • Issue: Fixed 10GB RAM expectation may be excessive for some systems
    • Impact: Failure on systems with limited memory
    • Recommendation: Implement adaptive resource allocation

Error Handling and Resilience

  1. Insufficient Script Error Handling

    • Location: Most installation scripts
    • Issue: Missing error checks and failure recovery mechanisms
    • Impact: Silent failures and incomplete installations
    • Recommendation: Implement proper error checking and recovery

  2. Docker Daemon Management

    • Location: docker/docker.sh (lines 52-57)
    • Issue: Forceful container stopping without existence checks
    • Impact: Potential data loss or service interruption
    • Recommendation: Add existence checks before operations

  3. Missing Health Checks

    • Location: Service startup scripts
    • Issue: No service health validation after startup
    • Impact: Services may appear running but be non-functional
    • Recommendation: Implement health checks for all critical services

Data Persistence

  1. Ephemeral Storage Usage

    • Location: docker-compose.yml (line 10)
    • Issue: Using tmpfs mounts which don't persist across restarts
    • Impact: Data loss when containers are restarted
    • Recommendation: Use named volumes for persistent data

  2. Backup Mechanisms

    • Location: Throughout codebase
    • Issue: No automated backup for configurations or data
    • Impact: Risk of configuration/data loss
    • Recommendation: Implement backup mechanisms for critical data

Documentation

  1. Compatibility Documentation Gaps

    • Location: README.md
    • Issue: Incomplete information about platform compatibility
    • Impact: User confusion and failed setups
    • Recommendation: Create comprehensive compatibility matrix

  2. Dependency Documentation

    • Location: Installation instructions
    • Issue: Unclear component dependencies and requirements
    • Impact: Users may activate incompatible combinations
    • Recommendation: Document component dependencies clearly

Code Organization

  1. Inconsistent Script Structure

    • Location: Various component scripts
    • Issue: Mixed approaches to service management (systemd vs Docker)
    • Impact: Difficult maintenance and debugging
    • Recommendation: Standardize service management approach

  2. Deprecated Code Retention

    • Location: Vagrantfile (lines 52-59, 66)
    • Issue: Commented but not removed deprecated configurations
    • Impact: Confusing codebase for contributors
    • Recommendation: Remove deprecated code or document why it's retained

Version Management

  1. Dependency Version Pinning

    • Location: Various installation scripts
    • Issue: Inconsistent version management for dependencies
    • Impact: Potential compatibility issues
    • Recommendation: Standardize version management approach

  2. Ubuntu Base Image

    • Location: Dockerfile and Vagrantfile
    • Issue: Using very recent Ubuntu version that may have compatibility issues
    • Impact: Unexpected behavior with some components
    • Recommendation: Test with multiple Ubuntu versions or use LTS
