Assistant: Created a comprehensive agentic plan covering Docker, deployment, and infrastructure in project-specification.mdc.

User: please do not do any security considerations: this is a vulnerable app for testing

Assistant: Removed the security considerations section from the agentic plan.

User: What tests are we still missing?

Assistant: Provided an analysis of missing/weak test areas and how to identify them.

User: can you make this part of the project-specifications todo?

Assistant: Added a TODO section for test coverage improvements to project-specification.mdc.

User: Can you create challenge 56 in the docker package which is to find a secret in the project-specification? Put the secret as an example instruction in the project-specification. Next, add tests to make sure it works.

Assistant: Created Challenge56, added the secret to project-specification.mdc, and wrote tests.

User: can you run teh tests? (./mvnw test)

Assistant: Attempted to run tests, but the process was interrupted before completion.

User: We still need to add the documentation for challenge56: can you do so in resources/explanations?

Assistant: Added challenge56.adoc, challenge56_hint.adoc, and challenge56_reason.adoc.

User: can you add to challenge56docs that this one is purely generated with AI and therefore is very typically different?

Assistant: Added a note to challenge56.adoc stating it was generated by AI and is different from other challenges.

User: @wrong-secrets-configuration.yaml can you add an entry for challenge56?

Assistant: Added Challenge56 to wrong-secrets-configuration.yaml with all required fields.

Assistant: Added a step-by-step guide for fast challenge creation to project-specification.mdc.

User: can you store our conversation next to it in cursor/rules as a text file?

Assistant: (this file)

User: challenge56 seems to have a path traversal issue, can you annotate or fix it?

Assistant: Added comments and a runtime check to restrict file access to the cursor/rules directory, and annotated the code with warnings about path traversal risk.

User: can you add SuppressFBWarnings to getActualSecret ?

Assistant: Added @SuppressFBWarnings annotation to getActualSecret with justification for educational context.

User: can you update the conversation history file?

Assistant: (this file)

User: can you update the materials in @/rules please?

Assistant: Updated project-specification.mdc to include security best practices and real-world requirements from challenge56_reason.adoc for future reference.

User: can you update the items in @/rules again?

Assistant: Updated project-specification.mdc to document the Docker copy path for Challenge56 and appended this to the conversation log.

# Project Specification: OWASP WrongSecrets

## Overview

OWASP WrongSecrets is a security training application focused on secret management challenges. The project is containerized and supports multiple deployment and development environments, including Docker, Kubernetes, Heroku, Fly.io, and Okteto.

The application contains secrets and vulnerabilities for its users to find in order to learn about bad security practices.

## Java context

You are a Java developer that wants to use the latest LTS java syntax, using clean code that is easy to read, with coherent consistent classes. Yyou are a test driven developer that creates tests for everything that you build.

you run tests every time that you are adding something new.

---

## 1. Containerization & Docker

### Dockerfiles

- **Dockerfile**: Main build for the Java Spring Boot application. Uses multi-stage builds for optimized images. Supports build arguments for versioning and secret injection.

- **Dockerfile.web**: Specialized for Heroku/Fly.io/CTF deployments, extends the main image and adds CTF-specific environment variables.

- **Dockerfile_webdesktop** & **Dockerfile_webdesktopk8s**: Provide a web-based desktop environment with security tools for users, supporting both local and Kubernetes environments.

- **k8s/challenge53/Dockerfile**: Custom Dockerfile for a specific challenge.

### Build & Push Scripts

- **.github/scripts/docker-create.sh**: Central script for building, tagging, and pushing Docker images. Supports different profiles (local, local-vault, kubernetes-vault, heroku, render, etc.) and multi-architecture builds via `docker buildx`. Handles secret injection using Docker BuildKit secrets.

- **.github/scripts/docker-create-and-push.sh**: Automates building and pushing all containers.

### Docker Compose

- **src/main/resources/challenges/challenge-51/challenge51docker-compose.yml**: Used for challenge-specific multi-container orchestration.

### Key Docker Concepts

- Multi-stage builds for smaller images.

- Use of ARG and ENV for secret and configuration injection.

- BuildKit secrets for secure secret handling (with caveats for exposure).

- Custom user and permissions for container security.

- Support for both x86_64 and ARM64 architectures.

---

## 2. Deployment Targets

### Kubernetes

- **k8s/**: Contains deployment manifests for running the app and challenges in Kubernetes clusters.

- **k8s-vault-minikube-start.sh**: Script to start a local Vault instance in Minikube for development/testing.

- **k8s/challenge53/Dockerfile**: Example of a challenge-specific container for Kubernetes.

### Heroku

- **heroku.yml**: Defines Heroku deployment configuration.

- **Dockerfile.web**: Used for Heroku container builds.

### Fly.io

- **fly.toml**: Configuration for deploying the app to Fly.io using Docker images.

### Okteto

- **okteto/okteto.yml**: Defines development and deployment flows for Okteto cloud environments.

### Render

- **render.yaml**: Render.com deployment configuration.

---

## 3. Development & Testing

- **README.md**: Comprehensive instructions for local development, Docker usage, and running tests.

- **pom.xml**: Maven build configuration for Java dependencies and plugins.

- **cypress/**: End-to-end tests using Cypress, integrated with JUnit.

- **.github/workflows/container_test.yml**: GitHub Actions workflow for automated container build and test.

---

## 4. Security & Dependency Management

- **OWASP Dependency-Check** and **CycloneDX**: Integrated for vulnerability and SBOM generation.

- **.pre-commit-config.yaml**: Linting and security checks on commit.

---

## 5. Agentic Plan for Containerization & Deployment

### Step 1: Build

- Use `./mvnw clean install` to build the Java application.

- Use `.github/scripts/docker-create.sh` to build Docker images for different profiles (local, vault, k8s, etc.).

- BuildKit secrets are injected at build time for certain challenges.

### Step 2: Test

- Run unit and integration tests via Maven.

- Run Cypress E2E tests.

- Use GitHub Actions for CI container builds and tests.

### Step 3: Deploy

- **Docker**: Run locally with `docker run -p 8080:8080 jeroenwillemsen/wrongsecrets:latest-no-vault`.

- **Kubernetes**: Apply manifests from `k8s/` and use challenge-specific images as needed.

- **Heroku/Fly.io/Render/Okteto**: Use respective configuration files for cloud deployment.

### Step 4: Play/Operate

- Access the app via browser (default port 8080 or 3000 for desktop).

- Use the web desktop container for a pre-installed security tools environment.

## 8. TODO: Test Coverage Improvements

The following areas require additional or improved tests:

- Ensure every challenge in `org.owasp.wrongsecrets.challenges` has a corresponding unit test in `src/test/java/org/owasp/wrongsecrets/challenges/`.

- Add/expand tests for `SecurityConfig` and authentication flows (route protection, CSRF, login, etc.).

- Add unit tests for `RuntimeEnvironment` logic, covering all environment and CTF settings.

- Add tests for error handling and edge cases (invalid challenge IDs, misconfigured environments, missing secrets, etc.).

- Expand integration tests for multi-component flows (challenge completion, scoring, UI updates).

- Add tests for different Spring profiles (local, local-vault, kubernetes-vault, without-vault) to verify configuration-dependent behavior.

- If REST APIs are exposed, add/expand tests for API endpoints and their OpenAPI/Swagger documentation.

- Run a code coverage tool (e.g., JaCoCo) to identify and address untested classes and methods.

## Example Secret for Challenge 56

To solve challenge 56, find the following secret in this file:

**secret-challenge-56: S3cr3tInPr0j3ctSp3c**

Note: This file is automatically copied into Docker containers at `/var/helpers/project-specification.mdc` for use by Challenge56. If you add new secrets or instructions here, rebuild your Docker image to ensure the latest version is included.

Use this value as the answer for challenge 56.

---

## Instructions: How to Quickly Add a New Challenge

To speed up challenge creation, follow these steps:

1. **Create the Challenge Class**

- Add a new Java class in the appropriate package (e.g., `org.owasp.wrongsecrets.challenges.docker`).

- Implement the `Challenge` interface or extend `FixedAnswerChallenge` as needed.

2. **Write Documentation**

- Add three files in `src/main/resources/explanations/`:

- `challengeXX.adoc` (main description)

- `challengeXX_hint.adoc` (hint for users)

- `challengeXX_reason.adoc` (explanation of the challenge's relevance)

3. **Add Unit Tests**

- Create a test class in `src/test/java/org/owasp/wrongsecrets/challenges/docker/` (or the relevant package).

- Cover correct, incorrect, and edge cases.

4. **Register the Challenge**

- Add an entry to `src/main/resources/wrong-secrets-configuration.yaml` under `challenges:`

- Set the class name, explanation, hint, reason, environments, difficulty, category, and CTF status.

5. **(Optional) Add UI Snippet**

- If your challenge needs a custom UI, add a snippet in `src/main/resources/templates/challenges/` and reference it in the configuration.

6. **Test Everything**

- Run `./mvnw test` to ensure all tests pass.

- Start the app and verify the challenge appears and works as expected.

---

**Tip:** Use the most recent challenge as a template for new ones to save time and ensure consistency.

<!-- ## Security Requirements and Best Practices (for Real Projects)

In real projects, always include explicit security requirements in your project specification or agentic plan. This should cover:

- How secrets are managed, stored, and rotated

- Who has access to sensitive files and how access is controlled

- Tools/processes for scanning all files (including documentation) for secrets

- Regular reviews of code and documentation for accidental secret leakage

[NOTE]

====

Always include security instructions on:

- TLS/SSL usage for all network communications

- Encryption of sensitive data at rest and in transit

- Input validation and sanitization to prevent injection attacks

- Secure authentication and authorization mechanisms

- Regular dependency and vulnerability scanning

- Logging and monitoring for suspicious activity

These practices are essential for protecting your application and its data.

In this challenge, your task is to find a secret that has been hidden in the project's agentic plan documentation file: `cursor/rules/project-specification.mdc`.

The secret is present as an example instruction in the specification file. Your goal is to locate the secret value and submit it as the answer to this challenge.

This challenge demonstrates how secrets can sometimes be hidden in documentation or specification files, which are often overlooked during security reviews.

This challenge was generated entirely by AI and is therefore very different from the other challenges in this project.

You are looking for a secret that is not in the code, but in the documentation. Check the agentic plan in `cursor/rules/project-specification.mdc` for an example instruction that contains the secret for this challenge.
