TNF PR Threat Analysis
Analyze a pull request for security threats against the TNF (Two-Node Fencing) topology, map to MITRE ATT&CK, and generate a formal report.
This skill focuses on TNF-specific DFD elements, trust boundaries, and code paths. For TNA analysis, use /threat-model:tna.
Reference Files
Bundled with this skill:
dfd-elements-tnf.md — TNF DFD element catalog (P1-P8, DS1-DS5, DF1-DF12, TB1-TB6)
Shared references (in $PLUGIN_DIR/references/):
mitre-reference.md — MITRE ATT&CK lookup with DFD element mappings
owasp-reference.md — OWASP Top 10:2025 mapping with DFD element cross-references
mitre-findings-template.md — Template for cumulative findings tracker
Discovered at runtime from the workspace:
$THREAT_MODEL_DIR/TNF-THREAT-MODEL.md — TNF formal threat model with DFD and per-element STRIDE analysis
$FINDINGS_FILE — TNF findings tracker (created from template on first use)
Workspace Discovery
Before starting analysis, discover the workspace layout.
Discovery Steps
-
Find workspace root: Walk upward from $PWD until a directory containing repos/ is found. If no parent qualifies, fall back to checking whether the current git repo sits inside a repos/ directory:
d="$PWD"
while [ "$d" != "/" ]; do
if [ -d "$d/repos" ]; then
echo "$d"
break
fi
d="$(dirname "$d")"
done
if [ "$d" = "/" ]; then
repo_root="$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null || true)"
if [ -n "$repo_root" ] && [ "$(basename "$(dirname "$repo_root")")" = "repos" ]; then
echo "$(dirname "$(dirname "$repo_root")")"
fi
fi
-
Set workspace paths: Once the workspace root (WORKSPACE) is found:
- Repos directory:
$WORKSPACE/repos/
- Threat model: Look for
TNF-THREAT-MODEL.md in:
$WORKSPACE/repos/two-node-toolbox/docs/
$WORKSPACE/docs/
- The current directory
- Report output: If
$REPORT_DIR is already set in the environment, use it directly. Otherwise, write reports to the same directory where the threat model is found. If not found, write to $WORKSPACE/reports/ (create if needed).
- Findings tracker:
$WORKSPACE/.claude/skills/threat-model/mitre-findings-tnf.md — initialized from $PLUGIN_DIR/references/mitre-findings-template.md on first use.
-
Validate workspace: Warn the user if:
- No
repos/ directory is found
- Required repos for the target PR are not cloned locally
- Threat model reference file is not found (analysis can still proceed, but DFD cross-referencing will be skipped)
Path Variables Reference
| Variable | Description | Example |
|---|
$WORKSPACE | Root directory containing repos/ | /home/user/Projects/tnf-dev-env |
$REPOS | Repos directory | $WORKSPACE/repos |
$THREAT_MODEL_DIR | Directory containing formal threat model | $REPOS/two-node-toolbox/docs |
$REPORT_DIR | Directory for generated reports | Same as $THREAT_MODEL_DIR or $WORKSPACE/reports |
$FINDINGS_FILE | TNF findings tracker | $WORKSPACE/.claude/skills/threat-model/mitre-findings-tnf.md |
Findings File
Each threat-model skill writes to its own findings file (mitre-findings-tnf.md, mitre-findings-tna.md, mitre-findings-sno.md, mitre-findings-lvms.md), so no file locking is required during concurrent execution.
Append protocol (use in step 12):
FINDINGS_FILE="$WORKSPACE/.claude/skills/threat-model/mitre-findings-tnf.md"
mkdir -p "$(dirname "$FINDINGS_FILE")"
cp -n "RESOLVED_TEMPLATE_PATH" "$FINDINGS_FILE"
cat >> "$FINDINGS_FILE" <<'FINDINGS_BLOCK'
| Technique ID | Technique Name | Finding | Severity | Status | Notes |
|--------------|----------------|---------|----------|--------|-------|
| T#### | Name | VULN-# | Severity | Open | Description |
---
FINDINGS_BLOCK
Substitute RESOLVED_TEMPLATE_PATH with the absolute path to $PLUGIN_DIR/references/mitre-findings-template.md (resolved from this skill's directory). Fill in REPO, NUMBER, YYYY-MM-DD, and the table rows from the current analysis.
Input Formats
Option 1: PR Number Only
/threat-model:tnf 2136
Detects the repository from the current working directory. Must be inside a repo under $REPOS/<repo>/.
Option 2: GitHub PR URL
/threat-model:tnf https://github.com/ClusterLabs/resource-agents/pull/2136
Extracts org, repo, and PR number from the URL automatically.
Option 3: Explicit repo and PR
/threat-model:tnf resource-agents 2136
Specify repo name and PR number explicitly.
Parsing Logic
-
If input is a URL (contains github.com):
- Extract org/repo/PR from:
https://github.com/<org>/<repo>/pull/<PR>
-
If input is a single number:
- Detect repo from current directory path
- Look for pattern
repos/<repo-name>/ in the working directory
- Use the repo's configured remote to determine the org
-
If input is <repo> <number>:
- Use provided repo name
- Look up org from the repository mapping table

Trust Boundary Crossings
When a PR modifies code that crosses a trust boundary, apply additional scrutiny:
| Boundary Crossing | Code Indicators | Key Threats |
|---|
| TB2->TB3 (K8s -> Privileged Container) | Job specs, SA tokens, secret reads | E (escape), I (secret leak) |
| TB3->TB4 (Container -> Host) | nsenter calls, hostPID, privileged | E (host access), T (CIB tamper) |
| TB4->TB5 (Host -> BMC) | fence_redfish calls, Redfish URLs | S (MITM), I (credential exposure) |
| TB2->TB4 (Secrets -> CIB) | Secret->pcs command pipeline | I (plaintext creds in XML) |
| TB6 (Inter-Node) | Corosync config, PCSD auth | S (spoofing), D (quorum loss) |
Per-Element STRIDE for PR Analysis
For each affected DFD element, ask these questions:
Processes (all 6 STRIDE categories):
- S: Can the process be impersonated? Are auth checks adequate?
- T: Can inputs/outputs be modified? Is data validated?
- R: Are actions auditable? Are logs adequate and redacted?
- I: Does it handle secrets? Are they protected in transit/at rest?
- D: Can it be crashed or blocked? What happens on failure?
- E: Does it run with minimal privilege? Can it be abused for escalation?
Data Stores (T, I, D):
- T: Can stored data be modified by unauthorized parties?
- I: Is sensitive data encrypted? Who can read it?
- D: Can the store be corrupted or deleted?
Data Flows (T, I, D):
- T: Can data in transit be modified? Is integrity verified?
- I: Is the channel encrypted? Are credentials visible?
- D: Can the flow be interrupted or flooded?
External Entities (S, R):
- S: Can the entity be impersonated? Is authentication enforced?
- R: Can the entity deny having performed an action? Are interactions logged?
Cross-Referencing the Threat Model
After identifying per-element threats, check against $THREAT_MODEL_DIR/TNF-THREAT-MODEL.md:
- Search for relevant
PE-<element>-* IDs in the Per-Element STRIDE Analysis section
- If a PR introduces a new threat not covered by existing PE-* entries, flag it as a gap
- If a PR mitigates an existing PE-* threat, note it as a positive finding
- If a PR worsens an existing PE-* threat, flag with elevated severity
If the formal threat model file is not found, skip cross-referencing and note this in the report.
Report Output
Use report templates from $PLUGIN_DIR/references/report-templates.md. Set <topology> to TNF when filling in the templates.
