§4.2 calls for target VMs we BUILD, not VMs we fetch. §4.13 demands
every target ship the same isolation posture (no upstream egress, no
host-shared FS, unprivileged QEMU, fresh snapshot per episode). This
commit lands the infrastructure for both.
New surface:
* orchestrator/target_spec.py
Loads + validates `vm/targets/<name>/spec.toml`. Containment
fields are not knobs — each has exactly ONE safe value, and a
spec asserting the unsafe value is rejected at load time. There's
no `--containment-override`; weakening §4.13 requires amending
PIPELINE.md and operator sign-off.
* tools/build_target.py
Orchestrates build → verify → publish for a single target. Spec
invalid → exit 78 (sysadmin error). build.sh failure → image not
published. verify.sh failure → image discarded; that's the §4.2
acceptance gate. Publishes sha256 + the manifest.toml stanza the
operator copies in to admit the image (§16 substantive amendment
with sign-off per §15).
* vm/targets/<name>/{spec.toml,build.sh,verify.sh}
Template structure. spec.toml is the contract; build.sh produces
$OUT_PATH; verify.sh boots the produced image under the §4.13
containment posture and asserts every promise.
* vm/targets/shellshock/
First real working target. CVE-2014-6271 (Apache mod_cgi + bash
4.2 mis-parsing function-export environment values). Replaces
the SourceForge Metasploitable2 path that §3 evidence proved
unverifiable. Bash 4.2 is built from sha256-pinned GNU source
inside an Alpine 3.21 cloudinit guest; the build script asserts
the produced bash actually triggers shellshock; the verifier
re-asserts it under restrict=on with a real CVE-2014-6271 probe.
* vm/targets/README.md
How operators add a target. Walks the spec → build → verify →
manifest amendment loop.
Containment regression tests (tests/test_containment.py) — 20 new
assertions, parameterized over every target with a build/verify trio:
* verify.sh MUST contain `restrict=on` on its netdev (§4.13)
* verify.sh MUST contain `snapshot=on` on the boot drive (§4.13)
* verify.sh + build.sh MUST NOT contain -virtfs / -fsdev / 9pfs
* verify.sh + build.sh MUST NOT wrap qemu-system in `sudo`
* Every target must ship the complete spec.toml + build.sh + verify.sh
trio — no half-built targets (§1 default-to-removal)
Spec validation tests (tests/test_target_spec.py): 13 new tests over
spec parse, name/dir mismatch, missing fields, out-of-range port, and
the §4.13 containment field validators (each unsafe value rejected
with a clear error).
The shellshock target's image is NOT yet published to manifest.toml's
[[targets.images]] — that's the §15 sign-off amendment that lands
after a successful operator-driven build_target.py run on a lab host
with KVM. Building takes ~10 min on x86_64; cannot run on the Pi
under TCG. Operator drives the first build, verifies the sha256, then
amends manifest.toml in a follow-up commit.
261 tests passing.

# Shellshock target — CVE-2014-6271.
|
|
#
|
|
# Apache mod_cgi running an old bash (4.2) that mis-handles environment
|
|
# variables containing function definitions. The exploit smuggles a
|
|
# command via the User-Agent header to a CGI script; bash, when
|
|
# preparing the environment for the script, evaluates the embedded
|
|
# function body and runs the smuggled command.
|
|
#
|
|
# This is a declaratively-buildable replacement for the SourceForge
|
|
# Metasploitable2 image (PIPELINE.md §4.2). Bash 4.2 is the most
|
|
# clearly-bounded older toolchain we can install reproducibly: the
|
|
# vulnerable build is well-documented, the Metasploit module
|
|
# (`exploit/multi/http/apache_mod_cgi_bash_env_exec`) is stable, and
|
|
# the exploit itself doesn't rely on any specific guest perl / python
|
|
# version.
