# Security Review Skill

This skill ensures all code follows security best practices and identifies potential vulnerabilities.

## When to Activate

- Implementing authentication or authorization
- Handling user input or file uploads
- Creating new API endpoints
- Working with secrets or credentials
- Implementing payment features
- Storing or transmitting sensitive data
- Integrating third-party APIs

## Security Checklist

### 1. Secrets Management

#### ❌ NEVER Do This
```typescript
const apiKey = "sk-proj-xxxxx"  // Hardcoded secret
const dbPassword = "password123" // In source code
```

#### ✅ ALWAYS Do This
```typescript
const apiKey = process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY
const dbUrl = process.env.DATABASE_URL

// Verify secrets exist
if (!apiKey) {
  throw new Error('OPENAI_API_KEY not configured')
}
```

#### Verification Steps
- [ ] No hardcoded API keys, tokens, or passwords
- [ ] All secrets in environment variables
- [ ] `.env.local` in .gitignore
- [ ] No secrets in git history
- [ ] Production secrets in hosting platform (Vercel, Railway)

### 2. Input Validation

#### Always Validate User Input
```typescript
import { z } from 'zod'

// Define validation schema
const CreateUserSchema = z.object({
  email: z.string().email(),
  name: z.string().min(1).max(100),
  age: z.number().int().min(0).max(150)
})

// Validate before processing
export async function createUser(input: unknown) {
  try {
    const validated = CreateUserSchema.parse(input)
    return await db.users.create(validated)
  } catch (error) {
    if (error instanceof z.ZodError) {
      return { success: false, errors: error.errors }
    }
    throw error
  }
}
```

#### File Upload Validation
```typescript
function validateFileUpload(file: File) {
  // Size check (5MB max)
  const maxSize = 5 * 1024 * 1024
  if (file.size > maxSize) {
    throw new Error('File too large (max 5MB)')
  }

  // Type check
  const allowedTypes = ['image/jpeg', 'image/png', 'image/gif']
  if (!allowedTypes.includes(file.type)) {
    throw new Error('Invalid file type')
  }

  // Extension check
  const allowedExtensions = ['.jpg', '.jpeg', '.png', '.gif']
  const extension = file.name.toLowerCase().match(/\.[^.]+$/)?.[0]
  if (!extension || !allowedExtensions.includes(extension)) {
    throw new Error('Invalid file extension')
  }

  return true
}
```

#### Verification Steps
- [ ] All user inputs validated with schemas
- [ ] File uploads restricted (size, type, extension)
- [ ] No direct use of user input in queries
- [ ] Whitelist validation (not blacklist)
- [ ] Error messages don't leak sensitive info

### 3. SQL Injection Prevention

#### ❌ NEVER Concatenate SQL
```typescript
// DANGEROUS - SQL Injection vulnerability
const query = `SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = '${userEmail}'`
await db.query(query)
```

#### ✅ ALWAYS Use Parameterized Queries
```typescript
// Safe - parameterized query
const { data } = await supabase
  .from('users')
  .select('*')
  .eq('email', userEmail)

// Or with raw SQL
await db.query(
  'SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = $1',
  [userEmail]
)
```

#### Verification Steps
- [ ] All database queries use parameterized queries
- [ ] No string concatenation in SQL
- [ ] ORM/query builder used correctly
- [ ] Supabase queries properly sanitized

### 4. Authentication & Authorization

#### JWT Token Handling
```typescript
// ❌ WRONG: localStorage (vulnerable to XSS)
localStorage.setItem('token', token)

// ✅ CORRECT: httpOnly cookies
res.setHeader('Set-Cookie',
  `token=${token}; HttpOnly; Secure; SameSite=Strict; Max-Age=3600`)
```

#### Authorization Checks
```typescript
export async function deleteUser(userId: string, requesterId: string) {
  // ALWAYS verify authorization first
  const requester = await db.users.findUnique({
    where: { id: requesterId }
  })

  if (requester.role !== 'admin') {
    return NextResponse.json(
      { error: 'Unauthorized' },
      { status: 403 }
    )
  }

  // Proceed with deletion
  await db.users.delete({ where: { id: userId } })
}
```

#### Row Level Security (Supabase)
```sql
-- Enable RLS on all tables
ALTER TABLE users ENABLE ROW LEVEL SECURITY;

-- Users can only view their own data
CREATE POLICY "Users view own data"
  ON users FOR SELECT
  USING (auth.uid() = id);

-- Users can only update their own data
CREATE POLICY "Users update own data"
  ON users FOR UPDATE
  USING (auth.uid() = id);
```

#### Verification Steps
- [ ] Tokens stored in httpOnly cookies (not localStorage)
- [ ] Authorization checks before sensitive operations
- [ ] Row Level Security enabled in Supabase
- [ ] Role-based access control implemented
- [ ] Session management secure

### 5. XSS Prevention

#### Sanitize HTML
```typescript
import DOMPurify from 'isomorphic-dompurify'

// ALWAYS sanitize user-provided HTML
function renderUserContent(html: string) {
  const clean = DOMPurify.sanitize(html, {
    ALLOWED_TAGS: ['b', 'i', 'em', 'strong', 'p'],
    ALLOWED_ATTR: []
  })
  return <div dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{ __html: clean }} />
}
```

#### Content Security Policy
```typescript
// next.config.js
const securityHeaders = [
  {
    key: 'Content-Security-Policy',
    value: `
      default-src 'self';
      script-src 'self' 'unsafe-eval' 'unsafe-inline';
      style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline';
      img-src 'self' data: https:;
      font-src 'self';
      connect-src 'self' https://api.example.com;
    `.replace(/\s{2,}/g, ' ').trim()
  }
]
```

#### Verification Steps
- [ ] User-provided HTML sanitized
- [ ] CSP headers configured
- [ ] No unvalidated dynamic content rendering
- [ ] React's built-in XSS protection used

### 6. CSRF Protection

#### CSRF Tokens
```typescript
import { csrf } from '@/lib/csrf'

export async function POST(request: Request) {
  const token = request.headers.get('X-CSRF-Token')

  if (!csrf.verify(token)) {
    return NextResponse.json(
      { error: 'Invalid CSRF token' },
      { status: 403 }
    )
  }

  // Process request
}
```

#### SameSite Cookies
```typescript
res.setHeader('Set-Cookie',
  `session=${sessionId}; HttpOnly; Secure; SameSite=Strict`)
```

#### Verification Steps
- [ ] CSRF tokens on state-changing operations
- [ ] SameSite=Strict on all cookies
- [ ] Double-submit cookie pattern implemented

### 7. Rate Limiting

#### API Rate Limiting
```typescript
import rateLimit from 'express-rate-limit'

const limiter = rateLimit({
  windowMs: 15 * 60 * 1000, // 15 minutes
  max: 100, // 100 requests per window
  message: 'Too many requests'
})

// Apply to routes
app.use('/api/', limiter)
```

#### Expensive Operations
```typescript
// Aggressive rate limiting for searches
const searchLimiter = rateLimit({
  windowMs: 60 * 1000, // 1 minute
  max: 10, // 10 requests per minute
  message: 'Too many search requests'
})

app.use('/api/search', searchLimiter)
```

#### Verification Steps
- [ ] Rate limiting on all API endpoints
- [ ] Stricter limits on expensive operations
- [ ] IP-based rate limiting
- [ ] User-based rate limiting (authenticated)

### 8. Sensitive Data Exposure

#### Logging
```typescript
// ❌ WRONG: Logging sensitive data
console.log('User login:', { email, password })
console.log('Payment:', { cardNumber, cvv })

// ✅ CORRECT: Redact sensitive data
console.log('User login:', { email, userId })
console.log('Payment:', { last4: card.last4, userId })
```

#### Error Messages
```typescript
// ❌ WRONG: Exposing internal details
catch (error) {
  return NextResponse.json(
    { error: error.message, stack: error.stack },
    { status: 500 }
  )
}

// ✅ CORRECT: Generic error messages
catch (error) {
  console.error('Internal error:', error)
  return NextResponse.json(
    { error: 'An error occurred. Please try again.' },
    { status: 500 }
  )
}
```

#### Verification Steps
- [ ] No passwords, tokens, or secrets in logs
- [ ] Error messages generic for users
- [ ] Detailed errors only in server logs
- [ ] No stack traces exposed to users

### 9. Blockchain Security (Solana)

#### Wallet Verification
```typescript
import { verify } from '@solana/web3.js'

async function verifyWalletOwnership(
  publicKey: string,
  signature: string,
  message: string
) {
  try {
    const isValid = verify(
      Buffer.from(message),
      Buffer.from(signature, 'base64'),
      Buffer.from(publicKey, 'base64')
    )
    return isValid
  } catch (error) {
    return false
  }
}
```

#### Transaction Verification
```typescript
async function verifyTransaction(transaction: Transaction) {
  // Verify recipient
  if (transaction.to !== expectedRecipient) {
    throw new Error('Invalid recipient')
  }

  // Verify amount
  if (transaction.amount > maxAmount) {
    throw new Error('Amount exceeds limit')
  }

  // Verify user has sufficient balance
  const balance = await getBalance(transaction.from)
  if (balance < transaction.amount) {
    throw new Error('Insufficient balance')
  }

  return true
}
```

#### Verification Steps
- [ ] Wallet signatures verified
- [ ] Transaction details validated
- [ ] Balance checks before transactions
- [ ] No blind transaction signing

### 10. Dependency Security

#### Regular Updates
```bash
# Check for vulnerabilities
npm audit

# Fix automatically fixable issues
npm audit fix

# Update dependencies
npm update

# Check for outdated packages
npm outdated
```

#### Lock Files
```bash
# ALWAYS commit lock files
git add package-lock.json

# Use in CI/CD for reproducible builds
npm ci  # Instead of npm install
```

#### Verification Steps
- [ ] Dependencies up to date
- [ ] No known vulnerabilities (npm audit clean)
- [ ] Lock files committed
- [ ] Dependabot enabled on GitHub
- [ ] Regular security updates

## Security Testing

### Automated Security Tests
```typescript
// Test authentication
test('requires authentication', async () => {
  const response = await fetch('/api/protected')
  expect(response.status).toBe(401)
})

// Test authorization
test('requires admin role', async () => {
  const response = await fetch('/api/admin', {
    headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${userToken}` }
  })
  expect(response.status).toBe(403)
})

// Test input validation
test('rejects invalid input', async () => {
  const response = await fetch('/api/users', {
    method: 'POST',
    body: JSON.stringify({ email: 'not-an-email' })
  })
  expect(response.status).toBe(400)
})

// Test rate limiting
test('enforces rate limits', async () => {
  const requests = Array(101).fill(null).map(() =>
    fetch('/api/endpoint')
  )

  const responses = await Promise.all(requests)
  const tooManyRequests = responses.filter(r => r.status === 429)

  expect(tooManyRequests.length).toBeGreaterThan(0)
})
```
