```
### Audit Checklist
#### 1. SQL Injection Protection
**Prompt:** Review all backend Go files for SQL queries. Verify EVERY query uses parameterized statements.
**Process:**
```bash
# Search for all database queries
cd /home/administrator/projects/coppertone.tech
grep -r "db.Query\|db.Exec\|db.QueryRow" backend/functions/*/main.go --color -A 2
# Check for string concatenation in queries (BAD)
grep -r "fmt.Sprintf.*SELECT\|fmt.Sprintf.*INSERT\|fmt.Sprintf.*UPDATE\|fmt.Sprintf.*DELETE" backend/functions/ || echo "✅ No string concatenation in SQL"
```
**What to Look For:**
- ❌ BAD: `db.Query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = " + userId)`
- ❌ BAD: `db.Query(fmt.Sprintf("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = %s", id))`
- ✅ GOOD: `db.Query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = $1", userId)`
**For Each Query Found:**
1. Verify it uses `$1, $2, $3...` placeholders (PostgreSQL)
2. Verify user input is passed as parameters, not concatenated
3. Check that the query cannot be manipulated by user input
**Acceptance Criteria:**
- 100% of queries use parameterized statements
- Zero string concatenation in SQL queries
- All user input properly escaped by database driver
**Documentation Template:**
```

if [ ! -f "$down" ]; then
echo "❌ Missing down migration for $up"
else
echo "$up has corresponding $down"
fi
done
```
**What to Check:**
**For Each Migration Pair:**
1. `.up.sql` creates tables/columns

---
### 1. Authentication & Authorization Audit
**Prompt:** Verify all authentication mechanisms are secure and properly implemented.
**Process:**
#### Auth Service Specific Checks
```bash
cd /home/administrator/projects/coppertone.tech/backend/functions/auth-service
grep -n "bcrypt\|jwt\|ethereum" main.go
```
**Password Hashing:**
```bash
# Find password hashing implementation
grep -A 10 "GenerateFromPassword\|CompareHashAndPassword" main.go
```
**Check:**
- [ ] Uses bcrypt (not MD5, SHA1, or plain)
- [ ] bcrypt cost is 10 or higher
- [ ] Passwords never logged or returned in responses
- [ ] Password comparison uses constant-time comparison (bcrypt.CompareHashAndPassword)
**Example Secure Implementation:**
```go
// ✅ GOOD
passwordHash, err := bcrypt.GenerateFromPassword([]byte(password), bcrypt.DefaultCost)
// Check cost
const cost = 10 // Should be >= 10
```
**JWT Token Security:**
```bash
# Find JWT implementation
grep -A 20 "jwt.New\|jwt.Sign\|jwt.Parse" main.go
```
**Check:**
- [ ] JWT secret from environment variable (not hardcoded)
- [ ] JWT secret is at least 32 characters (preferably 64+)
- [ ] Token expiration time set (not indefinite)
- [ ] Signing algorithm is HS256, RS256, or ES256 (not "none")
- [ ] Claims include user ID, roles, and expiration
- [ ] Token validation on protected routes
**Example Secure Implementation:**
```go
// ✅ GOOD - Secret from environment
jwtSecret := []byte(os.Getenv("JWT_SECRET"))
if len(jwtSecret) == 0 {
log.Fatal("JWT_SECRET must be set")
}
// ✅ GOOD - Token with expiration
token := jwt.NewWithClaims(jwt.SigningMethodHS256, jwt.MapClaims{
"user_id": user.ID,
"exp": time.Now().Add(24 * time.Hour).Unix(),
"roles": roles,
})
```
**Blockchain Authentication:**

**Middleware Implementation:**
```go
// Example pattern to find:
func requireRole(handler http.HandlerFunc, allowedRoles ...string) http.HandlerFunc {
return func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
// Extract user from context
// Check if user has required role
// Allow or deny access
}
}
```
**Check:**
- [ ] Role verification happens in middleware (not in handlers)
- [ ] User roles extracted from JWT claims
- [ ] Default deny (if no role matches, deny access)
- [ ] All protected endpoints use requireRole middleware
**Protected Endpoints:**
```bash
# Find all protected routes
grep -n "http.HandleFunc\|http.Handle" backend/functions/*/main.go
```
**For Each Endpoint, Verify:**
- Public endpoints (register, login, healthz): No authentication needed
- Protected endpoints: Wrapped with authenticate() middleware
- Admin endpoints: Wrapped with requireRole("ADMIN")
- Client endpoints: Wrapped with requireRole("CLIENT", "STAFF", "ADMIN")
**Example Secure Implementation:**
```go
// ✅ GOOD - Protected with RBAC
http.HandleFunc("/admin/users", authenticate(requireRole(handleAdminUsers, "ADMIN")))
http.HandleFunc("/projects", authenticate(requireRole(handleProjects, "CLIENT", "STAFF", "ADMIN")))
// ✅ GOOD - Public endpoint
http.HandleFunc("/register", handleRegister)
http.HandleFunc("/healthz", handleHealth)
```
**Acceptance Criteria:**
- All protected endpoints wrapped with authentication
- Admin endpoints require ADMIN role
- RBAC enforced via middleware (not scattered checks)
- Default deny policy

```
**Error Handling Check:**
**Client-Facing Errors (http.Error):**
- [ ] Generic messages (not exposing stack traces)
- [ ] No database error details exposed
- [ ] No file system paths exposed
- [ ] Appropriate status codes
**Examples:**
```go
// ❌ BAD - Exposes internal details
http.Error(w, fmt.Sprintf("Database error: %v", err), 500)
// ✅ GOOD - Generic message
http.Error(w, "Internal server error", http.StatusInternalServerError)
log.Printf("Database error in handleUsers: %v", err) // Server-side logging
```
**Server-Side Logging:**
- [ ] Errors logged with context
- [ ] No passwords or secrets in logs

```go
// ✅ GOOD - Detailed server-side logging
log.Printf("Failed to hash password for user %s: %v", email, err)
log.Printf("Database connection failed: %v", err)
log.Printf("JWT verification failed for token: %v", err)
// ❌ BAD - Logging sensitive data
log.Printf("User password: %s", password) // Never log passwords
log.Printf("JWT secret: %s", jwtSecret) // Never log secrets
```
**Authentication Logging:**
- [ ] Successful logins logged (user ID, timestamp)
- [ ] Failed login attempts logged (email, IP, timestamp)
- [ ] Account creation logged
- [ ] Role changes logged
**Acceptance Criteria:**
- Client errors are generic and safe

### 4. CORS Configuration Audit
**Prompt:** Verify CORS is properly configured for security.
**Process:**
```bash
# Find CORS middleware
grep -A 15 "corsMiddleware\|CORS\|Access-Control" backend/functions/*/main.go
```
**What to Check:**
**CORS Headers:**
```go
// Find this pattern:
w.Header().Set("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*")
w.Header().Set("Access-Control-Allow-Methods", "GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS")
w.Header().Set("Access-Control-Allow-Headers", "Content-Type, Authorization")
```
**Development vs. Production:**
- ⚠️ `Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *` - OK for development
-`Access-Control-Allow-Origin: https://coppertone.tech` - Required for production
- ✅ Environment-based configuration
**Security Checks:**
- [ ] Origin validation (not wildcard in production)
- [ ] Methods limited to necessary ones
- [ ] Headers limited to necessary ones (Content-Type, Authorization)
- [ ] Credentials handling if needed
- [ ] Preflight (OPTIONS) requests handled
**Example Secure Implementation:**
```go
// ✅ GOOD - Environment-based CORS
func corsMiddleware(next http.Handler) http.Handler {
return http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
allowedOrigin := os.Getenv("ALLOWED_ORIGIN")
if allowedOrigin == "" {

## Frontend Application Audit Process
### Purpose
Audit Vue.js frontend for security, code quality, and best practices.
### Files to Audit
- `frontend/src/stores/*.ts` (Pinia stores)
- `frontend/src/views/*.vue` (View components)
- `frontend/src/components/*.vue` (Reusable components)
- `frontend/src/router/index.ts` (Router configuration)
- `frontend/src/App.vue` (Root component)
---
### 1. XSS (Cross-Site Scripting) Prevention
**Prompt:** Verify the frontend properly escapes user input and doesn't inject raw HTML.
**Process:**
```bash
cd /home/administrator/projects/coppertone.tech/frontend
# Search for v-html (dangerous)
grep -rn "v-html" src/
# Search for innerHTML (dangerous)
grep -rn "innerHTML" src/
# Search for eval (dangerous)
grep -rn "eval(" src/
```
**What to Check:**
**Vue Template Safety:**
- [ ] No `v-html` usage (or justified and sanitized)
- [ ] All user input rendered with `{{ }}` (automatic escaping)
- [ ] No `innerHTML` manipulation
- [ ] No `eval()` or `Function()` usage
**Safe Patterns:**
```vue
<!-- GOOD - Automatic escaping -->
<div>{{ userInput }}</div>
<div :title="userInput"></div>
<!-- BAD - Raw HTML injection -->
<div v-html="userInput"></div>
<!-- CONDITIONAL - OK if sanitized -->
<div v-html="sanitizedHTML"></div>
```
**Attribute Binding Safety:**
```vue
<!-- GOOD - Vue handles escaping -->
<a :href="sanitizedUrl">Link</a>
<img :src="imageUrl" :alt="description">
<!-- BAD - Direct URL from user without validation -->
<a :href="userInput">Link</a>
```
**JavaScript Context:**
```typescript
// ❌ BAD - Don't use eval
eval(userInput);
new Function(userInput)();
// ✅ GOOD - Use JSON.parse for data
const data = JSON.parse(userInput);
```
**Acceptance Criteria:**
- Zero usage of v-html (or all instances justified and sanitized)
- No eval() or Function() usage
- All user input properly escaped
- URL sanitization where applicable
**Documentation Template:**
```
### XSS Prevention Audit
**Files Scanned:** [NUMBER]
**Templates Checked:** [NUMBER]
**Dangerous Patterns Found:**
- v-html usage: [NUMBER] (should be 0 or justified)

- [ ] Token expiration handling
**Security Considerations:**
```typescript
// Current implementation check:
// - localStorage: Vulnerable to XSS but OK for SPAs
// - sessionStorage: Cleared on tab close
// - httpOnly cookie: Most secure but requires CORS setup
```
**Token Handling:**
```typescript
// ✅ GOOD - Token in Authorization header
headers: {
'Authorization': `Bearer ${token}`
}
// ❌ BAD - Token in URL
fetch(`/api/data?token=${token}`)
```
**Login/Logout Flow:**
```typescript
// ✅ GOOD - Clear token on logout
async logout() {
this.user = null
this.token = null
this.isAuthenticated = false
localStorage.removeItem('token')
router.push('/login')
}
// Check for:
// - Token cleared from storage
// - User state reset
// - Redirect to login
```
**Auto-Login/Session Restoration:**
```typescript
// Check for token validation on app load
// Should verify token is still valid, not just present
async checkAuth() {
const token = localStorage.getItem('token')
if (token) {
// ✅ GOOD - Verify token with backend
try {
await this.fetchProfile()
} catch {
this.logout() // Clear invalid token
}
}
}
```
**Acceptance Criteria:**
- Token stored securely (localStorage acceptable)
- Token sent in Authorization header
- Token cleared on logout
- Invalid tokens handled gracefully
- No token in URLs
**Documentation Template:**
```
### Authentication State Audit

router.beforeEach((to, from, next) => {
const authStore = useAuthStore()
if (to.meta.requiresAuth && !authStore.isAuthenticated) {
next('/login') // ✅ GOOD - Redirect to login
} else {

const authStore = useAuthStore()
if (to.meta.requiresAuth) {
if (!authStore.isAuthenticated) {
next('/login')
return
}
if (to.meta.role && !authStore.hasRole(to.meta.role)) {
next('/unauthorized')
return
}
}
next()
})
```
**Acceptance Criteria:**

### A04 through A10 Continue Pattern
**For each remaining OWASP category:**
1. **Read the OWASP description** of the vulnerability
2. **Identify relevant code sections** in the codebase
3. **Create specific tests** for that vulnerability
4. **Document findings** with pass/fail
**Remaining Categories:**
- A04: Insecure Design
- A05: Security Misconfiguration
- A06: Vulnerable and Outdated Components
- A07: Identification and Authentication Failures
- A08: Software and Data Integrity Failures
- A09: Security Logging and Monitoring Failures
- A10: Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)
**Refer to the comprehensive audit report for examples of how to audit each category.**

## Code Quality Analysis
### Purpose
Assess code maintainability, readability, and adherence to best practices.
### Metrics to Collect
**Lines of Code:**
```bash
# Backend
find backend/functions -name "*.go" ! -name "*_test.go" -exec wc -l {} + | tail -1
# Frontend
find frontend/src -name "*.ts" -o -name "*.vue" | xargs wc -l | tail -1
# Database
wc -l backend/migrations/*.sql
```
**Cyclomatic Complexity:**
```bash
# Use gocyclo (install if needed)
go install github.com/fzipp/gocyclo/cmd/gocyclo@latest
gocyclo -over 15 backend/functions/
```
**Code Duplication:**
```bash
# Manual review or use tools like:
# - jscpd (for JavaScript/TypeScript)
# - dupl (for Go)
```
**Test Coverage:**
```bash
# Go coverage
cd backend/functions/auth-service
go test -coverprofile=coverage.out ./...
go tool cover -func=coverage.out
```
**Documentation:**
```bash
# Count comments in Go files
grep -r "^//" backend/functions/ | wc -l
# Check for godoc comments
grep -r "^// [A-Z]" backend/functions/*.go
```
**Documentation Template:**
```
