Conducted extensive security audit covering OWASP Top 10 and implemented
critical security improvements to protect against common vulnerabilities.
Security Improvements:
1. Input Validation & Sanitization
- Created comprehensive validation utility module
- URL validation prevents javascript:, data:, vbscript:, file: URLs
- Slug validation (alphanumeric, hyphens, underscores only)
- Rating validation (integer 0-10 only)
- String length limits across all services
- Maximum lengths: displayName (100), bio (1000), URLs (2048),
notes (5000), comments (10000), titles (500), tags (50)
2. Enhanced User Service Security
- URL validation for all social media/website links
- Slug format validation prevents XSS via slug
- Length limits on all user-editable fields
- Prevents malicious URLs in profile links
3. Enhanced Comment Service Security
- Content length validation (10,000 characters max)
- Prevents DoS attacks via massive comments
- Maintained existing DOMPurify sanitization
4. Enhanced Book & Game Service Security
- Comprehensive validateData() methods
- Length limits on all text fields
- Rating validation
- Cover image URL validation
- Tag and link validation
5. Improved Security Headers
- Enhanced Content Security Policy (CSP)
- Added HSTS with 1-year max-age, includeSubDomains, preload
- Added X-Frame-Options: DENY (prevents clickjacking)
- Added Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin
- Removed unsafe-inline from production CSP
6. Fixed Logging
- Replaced console.error with Fastify structured logger
- Prevents sensitive data leaks in console logs
7. Security Documentation
- Created comprehensive SECURITY_AUDIT_REPORT.md
- Detailed findings and recommendations
- OWASP Top 10 coverage analysis
Files Created:
- api/src/app/utils/validation.ts (validation utilities)
- SECURITY_AUDIT_REPORT.md (comprehensive audit report)
Files Modified:
