🛡️ Sentinel: [HIGH] Harden SSH security in build workflow#226christopherfoxjr wants to merge 2 commits into
Conversation
- Replace insecure `sshpass -p` with `sshpass -e` and environment variable mapping to prevent secret leakage in process lists. - Implement host key verification with `ssh-keyscan` and remove `StrictHostKeyChecking=no` to prevent MitM attacks. - Initialize Sentinel security journal in `.Jules/sentinel.md`.

🚨 Severity: HIGH
💡 Vulnerability: The main build workflow used insecure SSH practices:
sshpass -p(leaking credentials in process list) andStrictHostKeyChecking=no(vulnerable to Man-in-the-Middle attacks).🎯 Impact: Secrets could be exposed to local users/processes, and deployment could be hijacked via MitM.
🔧 Fix: Switched to
sshpass -ewith environment variable mapping and implemented mandatory host key verification usingssh-keyscan.✅ Verification: Confirmed that the workflow no longer triggers the repository's own security audits and passed manual syntax and formatting checks.
