nebula-mesh is a self-hosted control plane for Slack Nebula mesh VPN. Prior to version 0.3.8, the web handler renderMobileBundle passes the real *pki.CAResolver directly into mobilebundle.Build. Inside Build, resolver.LoadByID decrypts the CA's ed25519 private key into a *pki.CAManager, but Build never calls CAManager.Wipe() on any return path. As a result, when a mobile-bundle request goes through the web UI and Build returns — especially on error (missing network, invalid prefix, DB error, signing failure) — the plaintext CA private key remains on the Go heap, unwiped, until garbage collection. An attacker able to read process memory (core dump, swap, memory-scraping) can recover the CA signing key, which would allow minting arbitrary host certificates for the mesh. The API handler already does this correctly: it loads the CAManager, defer caMgr.Wipe(), and wraps it in caManagerResolver. Only the web path is affected. This issue has been patched in version 0.3.8.

  • GHSA-2p2f-px33-4vv5nebula-mesh: CA private key not zeroized on web mobile-bundle error paths2026-07-14ghsa · osvUS

    ## Impact The web handler `renderMobileBundle` (`internal/web/handlers.go:1325`) passes the real `*pki.CAResolver` directly into `mobilebundle.Build`. Inside `Build` (`internal/mobilebundle/builder.go:54`), `resolver.LoadByID` decrypts the CA's ed25519 private key into a `*pki.CAManager`, but `Build` never calls `CAManager.Wipe()` on any return path (success or any of the error paths at lines 56, 62, 68, 80, 86, 92, 98, 102, 109, 118, 150). As a result, when a mobile-bundle request goes through the **web** UI and `Build` returns — especially on error (missing network, invalid prefix, DB error, signing failure) — the plaintext CA private key remains on the Go heap, unwiped, until garbage collection. An attacker able to read process memory (core dump, swap, memory-scraping) can recover the CA signing key, which would allow minting arbitrary host certificates for the mesh. The **API** handler (`internal/api/mobile_bundle.go:74`) already does this correctly: it loads the `CAManager`, `defer caMgr.Wipe()`, and wraps it in `caManagerResolver`. Only the web path is affected. This is the same key-zeroization class previously addressed in GHSA-8h84-fhqq-q58v. ## Patches Add `defer caMgr.Wipe()` inside `mobilebundle.Build` immediately after the `LoadByID` call so every caller (web and API) is protected on all return paths. Ensure `CAManager.Wipe()` is idempotent, since the API handler also wipes the same manager. ## Workarounds None at the configuration level; requires a code fix. ## Resources - `internal/web/handlers.go:1325` - `internal/mobilebundle/builder.go:54` - `internal/api/mobile_bundle.go:74` (correct reference implementation) - Prior related advisory: GHSA-8h84-fhqq-q58v
