  - 6 CRITICAL (Docker socket, hardcoded credentials, weak passwords)
  - 3 HIGH (Missing SSL/TLS, container security)
  - 2 MEDIUM (SSL verification, authentication gaps)
  - 20 LOW (various improvements)

### ✅ Security Scripts Created & Validated
- **Backend-Builder**: Created 8 scripts in `/home/jramos/homelab/scripts/security/`
  - `verify-service-status.sh` (service deployment checker)

  - `docker-socket-proxy/docker-compose.yml` (security proxy config)
  - `portainer/docker-compose.socket-proxy.yml` (Portainer migration)

- **Lab-Operator**: Validated all scripts
  - 5/8 scripts ready for immediate execution
  - 3/8 scripts need container name fixes
  - Complete validation report created (in conversation history)

### ✅ Documentation Content Created

  - VALIDATION_REPORT.md (800+ lines) - Script validation
  - CONTAINER_NAME_FIXES.md (100+ lines) - Container fixes

### ❌ Files Not Written
**Issue**: Agents lacked Write tool access in this session
**Status**: Content exists but not saved to files

## New Session Instructions

### Step 1: Invoke Scribe Agent with Write Access

Use this exact prompt:

```
Create security documentation files from the audit completed on 2025-12-20.

Reference: /home/jramos/homelab/SECURITY_DOCS_HANDOFF.md

Create these 7 files:

1. SECURITY.md - Security policy and best practices
2. troubleshooting/SECURITY_AUDIT_2025-12-20.md - Complete audit report
3. templates/SECURITY_CHECKLIST.md - Pre-deployment checklist  
4. scripts/security/VALIDATION_REPORT.md - Script validation report
5. scripts/security/CONTAINER_NAME_FIXES.md - Container name fixes
6. Update services/README.md - Expand security sections
7. Update CLAUDE_STATUS.md - Add security audit initiative

Content specifications:

**SECURITY.md** should include:
- Security policy overview
- Vulnerability disclosure process  
- Best practices: credential management, Docker security, SSL/TLS, network security, access control
- Security checklists, incident response, compliance, resources

**SECURITY_AUDIT_2025-12-20.md** should include:
- Executive summary: 31 findings (6 CRITICAL, 3 HIGH, 2 MEDIUM, 20 LOW)
- Detailed findings with CVSS scores
- CRITICAL-001: Docker socket exposure (Portainer, NPM, Speedtest)
- CRITICAL-002: Proxmox credentials in plaintext
- CRITICAL-003: Database passwords in docker-compose files
- HIGH-001: Missing SSL/TLS for internal services
- HIGH-002: Weak/default passwords
- HIGH-003: Containers running as root
- HIGH-004: Secrets in git history
- HIGH-005: Missing network segmentation
- HIGH-006: No container vulnerability scanning
- HIGH-007: Missing backup encryption
- HIGH-008: No rate limiting/fail2ban
- 4-phase remediation roadmap
- CIS Docker Benchmark compliance status
- NIST Cybersecurity Framework assessment

**SECURITY_CHECKLIST.md** should include:
- 11-section pre-deployment checklist
- Credential management validation
- Docker security checks
- SSL/TLS configuration
- Access control verification
- Network security validation
- Logging and monitoring setup
- Backup and recovery verification
- Resource management checks
- Compliance documentation requirements
- Pre/post deployment testing
- Quick security validation bash script
- Sign-off template

**VALIDATION_REPORT.md** should include:
- Lab-operator's comprehensive script review
- Script-by-script analysis (all 8 scripts)
- Safety assessment, syntax validation, compatibility check
- Container name mismatches identified:
  - paperless-password.sh: needs container name fix
  - logward-credentials.sh: needs container name fix
  - pve-credentials.sh: needs verification
- GO/NO-GO recommendations
- Execution order: Phase 1-5 (verify → backup → socket proxy → credentials → verification)
- Timeline: 6-13 minutes total downtime estimate
- Risk assessment matrix

**CONTAINER_NAME_FIXES.md** should include:
- Container name verification commands
- Required updates for 3 scripts
- Testing procedures
- Rollback instructions

**services/README.md** updates (append to existing security section):
- Docker Socket Security (explanation, current exposures, socket proxy implementation)
- SSL/TLS Configuration Guidance (NPM setup, Let's Encrypt, certificate management)
- Credential Rotation Schedule (rotation frequencies, workflow examples)
- Secrets Migration Strategy (move from docker-compose to .env files)
- Security Audit References (findings table, remediation progress)

**CLAUDE_STATUS.md** updates:
- Add "Security Status" section with latest audit date
- Update "Current Initiative" to "Security Audit Remediation - Q4 2025"
- Add 4-phase checklist with 15 tasks
- Add recent infrastructure change entry for 2025-12-20 audit

Create all files now.
```

### Step 2: Verify Files Created

```bash
