Errors encountered during template execution are directly reflected in the resulting HTTP response status codes.\n\n\n\nMissing AEAD label binding: the spec.template.data field is omitted from the AEAD authenticated-data label binding ciphertext to metadata. As a result, an attacker can copy a target's valid metadata and encryptedData verbatim, satisfying AEAD decryption and label validation, while freely replacing spec.template.data with arbitrary template logic.\n\n\n\nSide-channel oracle: template execution errors map directly to HTTP response codes. HTTP 200 (OK) indicates template execution succeeded; HTTP 409 (Conflict) indicates template execution failed (e.g. via {{ fail \"...\" }}).\n\n\n\nBy injecting conditional statements such as {{ if eq (substr 0 1 .password) \"S\" }}ok{{ else }}{{ fail \"x\" }}{{ end }}, an attacker receives an HTTP 200 status when a character guess is correct and an HTTP 409 when it is incorrect. This differential response leaks one character-equality bit per request, allowing full secret extraction over successive queries.\n\n\n\nAttack vector & prerequisites: unauthenticated; requires network access to the controller's internal service port (:8080).
