# Scanner: unauthenticated startup when SCANNER_API_KEY unset
|
|
|
|
**Severity:** medium
|
|
**Domain:** Scanner
|
|
**Labels:** security, scanner, configuration
|
|
|
|
## Description
|
|
|
|
`scanner/config.go:111` logs a warning when `SCANNER_API_KEY` is empty but allows the server to start and accept unauthenticated requests. An operator mistake or CI misconfiguration can deploy a scanner that accepts any intent without an API key.
|
|
|
|
## Options
|
|
|
|
1. Fail fast in non-dev when `SCANNER_API_KEY` is empty.
|
|
2. Allow empty key only when bound to localhost; refuse otherwise.
|
|
3. Keep warning but add a required-in-prod env flag.
|
|
|
|
## Recommendation
|
|
|
|
Refuse to start (or restrict to loopback) when no API key is set outside local dev.
