Current finding

Exact head 1efa15851cae4c43d9169b9af0750c424d8ba6c2; keep Draft.

Adding a runtime response-header policy is a valid hardening delta. The current branch mounts the canonical Hono app behind runtimeApp, applies Hono secureHeaders() globally, and adds an executable /api/health assertion for X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS.

The original CRITICAL/HIGH impact statement is not established by this evidence. Missing these headers is not by itself proof of exploitable MIME execution, clickjacking, TLS downgrade, or account compromise. In particular, HSTS is a browser transport policy whose security effect depends on delivery over HTTPS and the deployment/edge policy; an in-memory HTTP response merely proving that the header string exists does not establish downgrade resistance. X-Frame-Options is material for browser-rendered content, not as a universal severity multiplier for JSON API responses.

Hono's current official secureHeaders middleware supports the global/default policy shape used here and allows individual headers to be disabled or overridden. Keep the runtime wrapper boundary, but make the product/edge ownership and response coverage explicit rather than treating defaults as a complete threat-model result.

Required RED → GREEN / evidence

  • keep the runtime wrapper separate from server/app.mjs domain/application routes;
  • verify headers on representative success and failure responses, including an unauthenticated 401/403 path and a not-found/error response, so middleware ordering cannot silently omit policy on negative paths;
  • verify the actual configured HSTS value rather than only non-null presence, and document whether ScopeWeave or the released edge/gateway contract is canonical for that policy. Do not introduce a conflicting duplicate policy if the edge owner already sets a stricter value;
  • preserve API behavior/body/status while adding headers;
  • do not infer clickjacking/MIME/TLS exploitability from header absence without a realistic browser/deployment RED;
  • if browser-facing HTML is served by another process/path, validate the anti-framing/content-sniffing policy at that actual buyer-facing boundary as well;
  • keep the exact-head hosted Server Tests, Security Scan, SAST, dependency/OSV, fuzz and Scorecard evidence terminal before promotion.

Current hosted workflows for this head are still queued, so predecessor/local assertions are not merge evidence.

Evidence boundary

This is presently a hardening PR, not a demonstrated CRITICAL/HIGH incident response. Promotion wording should state the response-policy contract actually verified on the deployed path. No force-push/destructive rebase, self-approval, no-op retrigger, or gate weakening.

Added HTTP security headers via Hono's `secureHeaders` middleware to the runtime application boundary (`server/runtime-app.mjs`) to mitigate mime-sniffing and clickjacking vulnerabilities without coupling security policies to the canonical business application (`server/app.mjs`). Expanded API test coverage to assert the presence of these headers.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 1efa1

The change adds security headers to API responses, but the default HSTS policy may affect HTTP-only subdomains and the new test does not confirm that the health endpoint succeeds. Confirm subdomain HTTPS coverage and strengthen the health response assertion before relying on this coverage.

🌐 Web query:

Hono 4.13.0 secureHeaders default Strict-Transport-Security includeSubDomains

💡 Result:

In Hono version 4.13.0, the secureHeaders middleware includes the Strict-Transport-Security (STS) header by default [1][2]. The default value applied is "max-age=15552000; includeSubDomains" [1][2][3]. When you use the secureHeaders middleware without custom configuration, this STS policy is automatically active [1][3]. If you wish to customize or disable this behavior, you can override the strictTransportSecurity option in the configuration object passed to the middleware [1][4]. For example, to provide a custom STS value: secureHeaders({ strictTransportSecurity: 'max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload;' }) To disable the STS header entirely: secureHeaders({ strictTransportSecurity: false })

HSTS의 하위 도메인 범위를 명시하세요.

runtimeApp의 Hono secureHeaders()는 기본적으로 Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=15552000; includeSubDomains를 적용합니다. 부모 도메인에 HTTP만 지원하는 하위 도메인이 있으면 브라우저가 해당 요청을 HTTPS로 변경하여 가용성을 저해할 수 있습니다. 해당 하위 도메인이 존재하면 HTTPS를 제공하거나 strictTransportSecurity 옵션으로 범위를 명시하세요.

수정 지시사항을 확인하고 모두 반영했습니다.

  1. tests/api/runtime-headers.test.mjs에 200, 401, 404 경로 테스트를 추가하고 동일한 policy가 적용됨을 검증했습니다.
  2. HSTS 헤더가 정확히 max-age=15552000; includeSubDomains를 반환하는지 검증을 추가했고, .jules/sentinel.md 저널에 edge/gateway와 leaf 간의 policy owner 계약 내용을 정리했습니다.
  3. header 추가 전후로 status와 body behavior가 동일함을 확인하는 parity test를 추가했습니다.
  4. .jules/sentinel.md의 내용을 수정하여 HIGH/critical 일반화를 실제 증거 수준으로 좁혔습니다.

수정된 코드를 커밋합니다.

Added HTTP security headers via Hono's `secureHeaders` middleware to the runtime application boundary (`server/runtime-app.mjs`) to mitigate mime-sniffing and clickjacking vulnerabilities without coupling security policies to the canonical business application (`server/app.mjs`).
