UID2-6717: Add /ops/operator_key_check endpoint for pre-startup validation#383
Conversation
Add explicit gnutls upgrade in Dockerfile to address HIGH severity vulnerability CVE-2026-1584 in gnutls 3.8.11-r0 (fixed in 3.8.12-r0) in the alpine base image. The vulnerability allows Remote Denial of Service via crafted ClientHello with invalid PSK. Jira: UID2-6655 Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…alidation Adds a lightweight GET /ops/operator_key_check endpoint to uid2-core that validates an operator's Bearer token (Role.OPERATOR) without requiring a full attestation payload. This supports the operator's pre-startup key validation check, enabling fast-fail with a clear error message when core_api_token is misconfigured rather than discovering the failure 12 hours into attestation.

Summary
GET /ops/operator_key_checktouid2-core— a lightweight endpoint that authenticates the operator Bearer token (requiresRole.OPERATOR) without needing a full attestation payloadCoreVerticlealongside/ops/healthcheck, without the attestation middlewareuid2-operator(IABTechLab/uid2-operator) that calls this endpoint before starting the enclave, enabling fast-fail on misconfigured operator keysJira: UID2-6717
Why
Currently, an invalid
core_api_tokenis only discovered during the first attestation call — which happens asynchronously after the enclave has started. The operator then waits up to 12 hours before shutting down, with no actionable error message. This change provides a dedicated, low-cost endpoint that the operator can call synchronously at startup to validate its key before proceeding.Deployment note: Deploy
uid2-core(this PR) before the companionuid2-operatorPR. The operator handles a 404 from this endpoint gracefully (logs a warning, continues) for backward compatibility during rolling deploys.Test plan
