Description
internal/api/mobile_bundle.go:62-66 sets only Content-Type: application/yaml. The Web-UI sibling at internal/web/handlers.go:1316-1321 sets Cache-Control: no-store, Pragma: no-cache, Expires: 0, X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff — and has a test asserting it. The API path was missed.
Affected
All released versions up to v0.3.0.
Threat model
The endpoint returns a freshly minted X25519 private key inline. Without no-store, any intermediary proxy or CDN that caches 200 OK YAML responses retains the private key for its cache TTL. Same applies to browser disk cache for direct API hits. Combined with the cross-tenant authz advisory (critical), even a corrected authz layer would still leak via cache after fix.
Suggested fix
Copy the four headers from the Web sibling:
w.Header().Set("Content-Type", "application/yaml; charset=utf-8")
w.Header().Set("Cache-Control", "no-store")
w.Header().Set("Pragma", "no-cache")
w.Header().Set("Expires", "0")
w.Header().Set("X-Content-Type-Options", "nosniff")
Mirrors internal/web/handlers.go:1316-1321. Add a parallel test to the existing web-side coverage.
Suggested patch
Verified locally: go vet, go test -race -count=1 ./..., golangci-lint v2.12 all clean.
