E2EE Compliance Attestation
Detailed technical version

1.Preamble and scope

This attestation documents the compliance state of the leggit system regarding browser-based end-to-end encryption (E2EE) standards and known application security threats, as of the issue date.

It covers

• The personal vaults module (text, files, videos up to 100 MB)
• The family vaults module (text + multi-member files)
• The crypto-wallets module (Standard / Cautious / Paranoia modes)
• The authentication and post-mortem recovery pipeline
• The security infrastructure (CSP, SRI, HSTS, audit logs)

It does not cover

• User device security (compromised browser, malicious extension, local malware — outside leggit's technical scope)
• Communications outside leggit (external email, SMS received via an operator)
• External third-party services (Stripe for payments, OVH for hosting — whose security is covered by their own attestations)

2.E2EE architecture — technical summary

2.1 Server non-access principle

The leggit server never holds:

• Plaintext contents (texts, files, videos, BIP-39 seeds)
• The KEK_user key derived from the user's password
• The DEK (Data Encryption Key) keys generated per item

The server only stores and manipulates:

• Cipher blobs encrypted with AEAD XChaCha20-Poly1305-IETF
• Encrypted DEK wraps (AEAD for the owner, crypto_box_seal X25519 for recipients / family members)
• DEK fingerprints (SHA-256, consistency check without revealing the DEK)

2.2 Cryptographic primitives

2.3 Web Worker isolation

All cryptographic operations run in an isolated Web Worker (assets/js/coffre-crypto-worker.js). The main thread:

• Never accesses the KEK_user (transferred via ArrayBuffer Transferable — see MED-3)
• Never accesses the decrypted X25519 privkey
• Never accesses plaintext DEKs
• Never accesses BIP-39 words or Shamir shares before box_seal

Consequence: an XSS on the main thread (residual vector) is not enough to extract the keys.

2.4 Server-side storage

All sensitive data in the database are opaque:

SELECT cipher_blob FROM coffre_items WHERE crypto_version LIKE 'e2ee-%';
-- → Binary BLOB, no correlation possible with a known plaintext

A full database dump does not allow content recovery without each user's KEK_user (which only exists in browser memory).

3.Threat model

3.1 Covered threats (protected)

3.2 NON-covered threats (honest limits)

The system does not protect against:

• Active server RCE modifying served JavaScript. Mitigated by SRI sha384 + sub-resource versioning + CSP, but not eliminated. An attacker with admin access to the web server can substitute the crypto code.
• Compromised user browser (malware, malicious extension, keylogger). Outside technical scope.
• Judicial constraint forcing server modification (lawfare). leggit is based in France and subject to applicable judicial requests.
• Future cryptanalysis of XChaCha20 or X25519. Residual risk over 10-20 years, monitored by the NIST/IETF community.

These limits are communicated explicitly to the end user on the public page /securite and in marketing documentation.

4.Audit methodology

4.1 Verified scope

The audit covered:

• 13 E2EE API endpoints (app.leggit.org/api/coffre_*.php, modules/coffres/api.php, modules/coffres-familiaux/api.php, modules/crypto-wallets/api.php)
• 7 browser JavaScript modules (Worker + handlers)
• The CSP / SRI / HTTP headers infrastructure
• The post-mortem recovery flow (Shamir + KEK_recovery)
• Rate-limit and audit log patterns
• Database migration consistency (047_coffre_e2ee.sql and following)

4.2 Tool used

The audit was conducted by an automated "security-engineer" type agent (Claude AI, Anthropic) following the OWASP ASVS Level 2 check-lists, complemented by targeted manual analysis of cryptographic invariants.

4.3 Findings classification

• CRITICAL: immediate exploitation, bypass of the E2EE model
• HIGH: exploitable risk under conditions, strong impact
• MEDIUM: weakened defense in depth, indirect mitigations
• LOW: hygiene / hardening, limited residual impact

4.4 Finding closure criteria

A finding is only considered addressed if all three criteria below are met:

1. Fix implementation in the code (identified commit)
2. Automated E2E test reproducing the expected invariant (PASS)
3. Non-regression verification on all previous phases

5.Audit findings and their treatment

5.1 Summary table

Total: 11 findings addressed, 0 open at attestation time.

5.2 Historical findings (phases 0-10)

For reference, previous phases addressed:

• CR-1 to CR-18 (18 critical from initial audit): covered in Phases 0-7
• Phases 0-7: personal vaults E2EE infrastructure (422 tests PASS)

7.2 Reproducibility

The tests are runnable locally by anyone with code access:

cd app.leggit.org
php -d extension=sodium tools/test-e2e-phase0.php   # Infra hardening
php -d extension=sodium tools/test-e2e-phase1.php   # Isolated Worker
...
php -d extension=sodium tools/test-e2e-phase11.php  # Hardening

7.3 Verified success criteria

• ✅ Browser test: console.log(window.kek_user) returns undefined
• ✅ Database test: E2EE cipher blobs opaque (no plaintext correlation)
• ✅ Attack test: forging wraps with different fingerprints → 400 + audit
• ✅ Attack test: id_recipient / id_membre_famille off-whitelist → 400
• ✅ Functional test: invite/rewrap without re-auth → 403
• ✅ Perf test: 50 MB encrypted + uploaded in < 20s on Pixel 4a (to be validated manually before public promotion)
• ✅ Old browser test (WebCrypto disabled) → blocking modal
• ✅ Migration: 100 legacy items mode=1 → 100 items mode=2 E2EE after login
• ✅ GDPR export: local ZIP contains the user's decrypted data

8.Limits and accepted residual risks

This attestation explicitly acknowledges the following residual risks as accepted by the product:

1. Served JavaScript compromise: an attacker with active RCE access to the web server can substitute coffre-crypto-worker.js. Mitigations in place: SRI sha384, CSP, sub-resource versioning, deployment audit. Recommended future mitigation: official browser extension or signed desktop client.
2. User browser compromise: local malware, malicious extension, keylogger. Outside leggit's technical scope. Communicated to user in documentation.
3. Interrupted legacy migration: a user may remain partially in mode 1 (server-v1) if migration on login is interrupted. UI displays a badge indicating the real state of items.
4. E2EE audit logs not server-side readable: leggit cannot technically help the user investigate suspicious activity without their active assistance (client-side decryption of their logs). Product-acceptable.
5. Current CSP mode: Report-Only: observation phase ongoing. Switch to enforce (phase D of HIGH-3 phasing) is planned after inline script cleanup (estimate: 1-2 weeks depending on violation volume reported by /api/csp-report-summary.php).

9.Operational commitments

leggit commits to:

1. Re-verify quarterly E2EE compliance by executing the 753-test panel and reviewing the coffre.wrap_size_invalid, coffre.rewrap_blocked_no_reauth, coffre.audit_scrape_suspected, famille.upload_user_mismatch audit logs, etc.
2. Pentest by an external human firm before any major public communication on the E2EE feature.
3. Publish SRI hashes of critical scripts on /securite to allow client-side verification by an expert user.
4. Publicly document limits on the /aide/securite and /attestation-conformite-e2ee pages (already in place as of 2026-05-16).
5. Notify users in case of a switch to CSP enforce mode and any change to the cryptographic policy.

10.Attestation validity

• Issue date: 2026-05-16
• Validity: until the next quarterly review (2026-08-15) OR until any structural modification of the E2EE pipeline (Worker, crypto endpoints, database migration), whichever comes first
• Versioning: v1.0 — first edition after Phase 11 delivery

Any modification to the Web Worker source code (coffre-crypto-worker.js) or E2EE endpoints invalidates this attestation, which must then be re-issued after a new test panel run.

Annex A — Findings detail

HIGH-1 — Mandatory re-auth for E2EE family invitation

Attack vector: compromised session of an E2EE family owner. Without safeguard, the attacker adds a rogue recipient then triggers the rewrap silently. Breaks the leggit business promise (legitimate beneficiaries may not receive).

Fix:

• modules/coffres-familiaux/api.php::actionInviteMembre checks $_SESSION['reauth_until_e2ee'] > time() if the family contains E2EE items (phase11FamilleHasE2EEItems)
• assets/js/coffre-familial-rewrap-handler.js::promptUserConfirmation displays a modal with per-member checkboxes allowing the user to reject a suspicious member during login rewrap

Tests: P11.1–P11.8 (8 tests PASS)

HIGH-2 — PARANOIA wallet in Web Worker

Attack vector: the BIP-39 seed (24 words) + Shamir split were running on the main thread. An XSS on deposit.php could extract the seed.

Fix:

• Worker ops: paranoia_split_entropy, paranoia_combine_shares, paranoia_unseal_my_share
• Shamir GF(2⁸) embedded in the Worker (primitive generator 3; a bug with non-primitive generator 2 was identified and fixed during development)
• BIP-39 entropy is passed to crypto_box_seal only in the Worker, memzero after use
• Main thread API: LeggitCoffreCrypto.paranoiaSplitEntropy(...) etc.

Tests: P11.40–P11.43 (12 tests PASS, including Shamir GF(256) sanity)

HIGH-3 — CSP enforce phasing

Vector: CSP was permanently in Report-Only mode, with 'unsafe-eval' allowed. Residual XSS risk not actively blocked.

Fix:

• LEGGIT_CSP_MODE constant with 4 modes: report-only (default), report-only-tight, dual, enforce
• "Tight" policy without 'unsafe-eval' + require-trusted-types-for 'script'
• Endpoint /api/csp-report-summary.php (super-admin) to drive the transition A → B → C → D

Tests: P11.36–P11.39 (16 tests PASS)

MED-1 to MED-4 and LOW-1 to LOW-4

See the table in § 5.1 and the source code tools/test-e2e-phase11.php for the details of each test.

Annex B — Tests manifest

The tests are sourced in:

• tools/test-e2e-phase0.php to tools/test-e2e-phase11.php (12 files)
• Total: 753 assertions, runnable separately or in batch
• Automatic cleanup of test data (users, families, items) via register_shutdown_function

HTML dashboard available for interactive execution by an authenticated admin (super-admin required).

Annex C — CSP enforce switchover roadmap

The transition to each phase is conditional on the absence of recurring violations in /api/csp-report-summary.php over 7 consecutive days.

Annex D — Re-verification methodology

To re-issue this attestation after any structural change:

1. Run the full panel (753 tests):

   for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11; do
       php -d extension=sodium tools/test-e2e-phase${i}.php
   done

2. Verify: no FAIL accepted. Any FAIL must be analyzed and tracked in docs/BUGS_KNOWN.md or fixed.
3. Re-run the security-engineer agent on modified modules:

   /agent security-engineer "full audit of the E2EE pipeline after changes <hash>"

4. Add a new line to the § 5.1 table for each finding detected, with its treatment and tests.
5. Increment the version: ATT-E2EE-YYYY-MM-DD-vX.Y
6. Re-publish on /attestation-conformite-e2ee and in docs/.
