Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to This adds Tor 0.4.9.12 images that carry forward the previous startup defaults: the control port listens on all interfaces and only requires a password when one is supplied, and the generated password hash is printed to container logs. Operators who publish port 9051 without setting a password would allow remote control of Tor, so tightening the control-port default and the log output is worth resolving before shipping these images. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

- Line 31: Update the logging statement near the Tor configuration update so it
no longer interpolates or exposes TOR_PASSWORD_HASH; log only that
control-password authentication was enabled, while preserving the configuration
write itself.
- Around line 4-26: Quote the TOR_CONFIG argument in both dirname invocations to
prevent word splitting and glob expansion when users override it, while
preserving the existing mkdir and chown behavior.
- Line 15: Update the Tor control-port configuration around ControlPort so
remote clients cannot access an unauthenticated listener: require password or
cookie authentication when the control port is enabled, using TOR_PASSWORD and
the existing HashedControlPassword or CookieAuthentication configuration, or
disable the control port by default when no authentication is configured.

Quote TOR_CONFIG inside both dirname calls.
The Dockerfiles provide a whitespace-free default, but Docker users can override TOR_CONFIG at runtime. An unquoted override is subject to word splitting and glob expansion before dirname runs, which can make mkdir or chown target the wrong directory.

Tor ControlPort no authentication method configured warning starts allows connections default CookieAuthentication
💡 Result:
<search_synthesis>
The warning "ControlPort is open, but no authentication method has been configured" occurs when you enable a ControlPort in your Tor configuration (torrc) without also enabling an authentication method [1][2][3]. By default, if a ControlPort is opened without authentication, Tor allows any process on the local host to connect and control the Tor process, which poses a significant security risk [1][4][2]. To resolve this warning and secure your Tor instance, you must enable one or both of the following authentication methods in your torrc file: 1. CookieAuthentication: When set to 1, Tor creates a file named "control_auth_cookie" in its data directory [1][2]. Any controller that can read this file is granted access [4]. This is generally the recommended method for local controllers [4]. torrc configuration: CookieAuthentication 1 2. HashedControlPassword: This requires the controller to provide a password that matches a pre-computed hash [1][2]. You can generate this hash by running: tor --hash-password "your_password" Then, add the resulting hash to your torrc: HashedControlPassword <your_generated_hash> Note: Setting both authentication methods means either method is sufficient to authenticate to Tor [1][2]. It is strongly advised to always use at least one of these methods to prevent unauthorized local applications from reconfiguring your Tor service [4][3].

Tor 0.4.9.11 source ControlPort no authentication NULL authentication wildcard 0.0.0.0 starts
💡 Result:
<search_synthesis>
In Tor version 0.4.9.11, as in previous versions, enabling the ControlPort without configuring at least one authentication method (HashedControlPassword or CookieAuthentication) leaves the control interface effectively unprotected for any process on the local host [1][2][3][4]. While the Tor Control Protocol requires an AUTHENTICATE command even when no authentication methods are enabled, in this scenario, the controller can simply send the AUTHENTICATE command without any arguments (or with an empty string) to successfully authenticate [5][6]. Binding the ControlPort to 0.0.0.0 (the wildcard address) is strongly discouraged because it makes the control interface accessible to any machine on the network, not just the local host [1][2]. If the ControlPort is exposed on a public IP address without robust authentication or external access controls (such as a firewall), any unauthorized party can issue commands to the Tor process, potentially compromising anonymity, modifying the torrc configuration, or disrupting service [1][7][8]. Key technical points: - Configuration: If you set ControlPort in your torrc file but do not set HashedControlPassword or CookieAuthentication, Tor allows anyone who can connect to the port to authenticate [1][6]. - Authentication Command: Even with "NULL" or no authentication enabled, the Tor control spec mandates the AUTHENTICATE command to establish a session [5][9]. When no secret is required, sending AUTHENTICATE with no arguments or an empty string satisfies this requirement [6]. - Security Risk: Binding to 0.0.0.0 exposes this control interface to the network. Tor documentation explicitly warns that unless authentication is configured, setting the ControlPort allows any process on the local host to control the Tor process [1][2]; binding to 0.0.0.0 extends this risk globally if not protected by other means [7]. It is highly recommended to bind the ControlPort only to localhost (e.g., 127.0.0.1:9051) and to always enable at least one form of strong authentication [1][6].

Broken Authentication
Exploitability: Moderate
CWE: CWE-306 — Missing Authentication for Critical Function
Require authentication before exposing the Tor control port.
When TOR_PASSWORD is unset and no included configuration enables HashedControlPassword or CookieAuthentication, Tor 0.4.9.x starts with NULL control authentication. Because the listener binds to 0.0.0.0, any client that can reach a published port 9051 can control Tor. This configuration is unchanged from 0.4.9.11, so the risk is inherited rather than introduced here. Require authentication or disable the control port by default.
