The source password had a `hackme` fallback in five places -- entrypoint.sh,
docker-compose.yml, setup.sh's prompt default, .env.example, edge-node's
config.py -- plus op25-container's os.getenv default and two README rows. Any
node whose operator pressed Enter through setup.sh is running a credential
that is written down in this repo.
That matters more than the usual default-password case because Icecast binds
all interfaces and the SOURCE password is write access: it does not just let a
LAN neighbour listen, it lets them PUSH audio into the stream the frontend and
mobile clients play as live radio. Injecting fake traffic into a public-safety
feed is the failure worth preventing.
Approach: remove every fallback rather than change them to a better default.
- icecast/entrypoint.sh refuses to start if either password is empty, and says
how to generate one. This is the single hard gate; everything else is
defence in depth behind it.
- docker-compose.yml uses ${VAR:?message} so a missing value stops the stack
at compose time with a readable error instead of becoming an empty string.
- setup.sh GENERATES a random password when the operator presses Enter, via
openssl rand -base64 24 with a /dev/urandom fallback. Pressing Enter now
gives you a random password rather than a known one, which is the actual
behaviour change -- a prompt default nobody types over is not a default, it
is the value.
- .env.example ships the keys empty with the generation command in a comment,
and README.md now marks both as required with no default.
Client suite: 185 passed.
Note this does NOT rotate anything already deployed. node-002's .env still has
whatever it was set up with; that is an operational step, tracked in the issue.
