Description
## Summary The built-in SSH server currently advertises a number of key exchange, MAC, and host key algorithms that are considered weak or broken. The defaults should be tightened so a fresh installation passes a baseline SSH security audit out of the box. ## Details Running `ssh-audit` against a default deployment flags the following as `fail`: - **Key exchange** - `ecdh-sha2-nistp256` - `ecdh-sha2-nistp384` - `ecdh-sha2-nistp521` - **MAC** - `hmac-sha1` - **Host key** - `ssh-rsa` ## Reproduction ```sh docker run -it --rm positronsecurity/ssh-audit -p 2222 gitea.local ``` ## Impact Default deployments expose algorithms that are known-weak or deprecated upstream. The current workaround requires manually setting several `GITEA__server__SSH_SERVER_*` variables, which most users will never do. ### Workaround ```ini [server] SSH_SERVER_KEY_EXCHANGES = curve25519-sha256, diffie-hellman-group14-sha256 SSH_SERVER_CIPHERS = chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com, aes128-ctr, aes192-ctr, aes256-ctr, aes128-gcm@openssh.com, aes256-gcm@openssh.com SSH_SERVER_MACS = hmac-sha2-256-etm@openssh.com, hmac-sha2-256 ``` There is no exposed option to restrict host key algorithms, so `ssh-rsa` remains advertised. ## Acceptance criteria - [ ] Default `SSH_SERVER_KEY_EXCHANGES`, `SSH_SERVER_CIPHERS`, and `SSH_SERVER_MACS` updated to the secure list above. - [ ] New `SSH_SERVER_HOST_KEY_ALGORITHMS` option added, with a default that excludes `ssh-rsa`. - [ ] Documentation updated to reflect the new defaults. - [ ] `ssh-audit` against a fresh install reports no `[fail]` entries.
