russell@unturf.com 6be275b46d suricata: 1 CWE-312 defect (suricata-0001); MOADs 0001/0002/0003/0005 CLEAN
MOAD-0004 CWE-312: EveHttpLogJSONHeaders() in output-json-http.c logs HTTP
credential headers (Authorization, Proxy-Authorization, Cookie, Set-Cookie)
verbatim when dump-all-headers or custom field logging is enabled. Patch adds
a credential denylist that emits "[REDACTED]" instead of the raw value.
Default suricata.yaml.in shows Authorization as a custom field example with
no warning. Unit test 5/5 PASS.

MOADs 0001/0002/0003/0005 CLEAN: bitarray+hash+radix+RB-tree hot paths,
per-tenant DetectEngineCtx, thread-scoped thread_local, HRLOCK-guarded THash.

suricata — 5-MOAD scan results
Target: https://github.com/OISF/suricata (depth=1)
Language: C
Date: 2026-03-31
Scanned by: agent blackops
MOAD-0001 CWE-407 (linear scan in loop):
CLEAN. Suricata uses bitarrays (SigGroupHead sig_array), hash tables
(SigGroupHeadHashTable, MpmInitHash, THashLookupFromHash with HRLOCK),
and red-black trees (TCPSEG, SBB) throughout hot paths. Merge-sort
(O(N log N)) is used for signature ordering. No O(N^2) per-packet path
found. The probing parser port list scan is O(P) with P < 50 entries.
MOAD-0002 Intertangle:
CLEAN. Subsystems are cleanly separated. The detection engine uses a
per-tenant DetectEngineCtx. App-layer parsers run in their own context.
Global registration lists (g_app_inspect_engines etc.) are write-once
at startup and read-only thereafter. No god object coupling independent
subsystems through shared mutable state.
MOAD-0003 Leaked Context:
CLEAN. All thread_local variables hold thread-scoped data:
thread_pkt_pool (packet pool), t_thread_name (thread identifier),
pcap_file_thread (output file handle), tcp_pool_cache (segment pool),
locks[] (lock profiling). None holds request-scoped identity that
could leak across flow or packet boundaries.
MOAD-0004 CWE-312 (credentials logged verbatim):
DEFECT — see defects/suricata-0001/ for patch and test.
EveHttpLogJSONHeaders() in src/output-json-http.c logs all header values
verbatim when dump-all-headers is enabled or when a custom field list
includes credential headers. The default suricata.yaml.in shows
"Authorization" as a custom field example with no warning. At runtime:
Authorization (Bearer/Basic tokens), Proxy-Authorization, Cookie
(session tokens), and Set-Cookie values appear in eve.log in cleartext.
MOAD-0005 Thundering Herd:
CLEAN. THashLookupFromHash acquires a per-row HRLOCK before any read
or write. THashAdd uses the same HRLOCK. No get+null+compute+put
race window exists. Flow hash (FlowGetFlowFromHash) also uses per-bucket
mutex (FBLOCK_LOCK). No concurrent cache unsynchronized race found.
Summary: 1 defect (suricata-0001 MOAD-0004 CWE-312 MEDIUM)
