OfficeCom Sentinel n8n Contract

Request

method: POST
content type: application/json
example webhook: https://n8n.example.com/webhook/ocsentinel-ingest

Required Payload Intent

The endpoint should send one signed JSON document per scan run containing:

device identity
client version
scan metadata
attack findings
CVE correlation summary
raw status fields needed for downstream NinjaOne updates

Expected Downstream Work

n8n is responsible for:

ingest validation
storage in the central backend
organization-wide aggregation
NinjaOne organization API updates

Required n8n Workflow

The webhook itself may be reachable only on the internal network. It does not require public access to the n8n editor or API. Every managed device must be able to reach the webhook URL over HTTPS.

Webhook: accept POST on the configured private URL.
Code: reject a request if X-ATN-Device, X-ATN-Timestamp, X-ATN-Nonce, X-ATN-Version, X-ATN-Payload-SHA256, or X-ATN-Signature is missing; reject timestamps outside five minutes.
Code: calculate SHA-256 over the raw request body and compare it with X-ATN-Payload-SHA256. Calculate HMAC-SHA256 over the following exact newline-separated string and compare it in constant time with X-ATN-Signature:

<device>\n<timestamp>\n<nonce>\n<version>\n<payload-sha256>

Postgres: insert the nonce into ocsentinel.ingest_nonce with a short expiry. If it already exists, return 409 and do not process the report.
Postgres: upsert the device, insert a row in ocsentinel.scan_report, then return 202.
A separate scheduled n8n workflow reads ocsentinel.organization_summary and ocsentinel.current_device_status to update the NinjaOne organization fields through the API.

Use an n8n credential for the shared HMAC secret and a separate n8n credential for PostgreSQL. Do not store either value in workflow JSON or this repository.

PostgreSQL Scope

The client only knows its outward upload destination.
PostgreSQL connection details belong to the internal ingest or n8n side.
If the PostgreSQL IP changes, update the internal server-side configuration and review it during the next release.
