+``` + +### RecurringExpense +```sql +ALTER TABLE recurring_expense ADD COLUMN document_path VARCHAR(255); +``` + +### ServiceRecord +No changes needed - already had `document_path` field. + +## Security Features + +### Path Injection Prevention +- Path normalization using `os.path.normpath()` +- Rejection of paths containing ".." +- Rejection of absolute paths (starting with "/") +- Double verification that resolved path is within `/app/uploads/` +- Use of `os.path.isfile()` instead of `os.path.exists()` + +### File Upload Security +- Allowed file type validation on server side +- Secure filename generation with timestamp and random suffix +- Files stored with restrictive permissions (0o644) +- Authentication required for all attachment operations + +### Data Privacy +- Users can only access attachments through their own vehicles +- Vehicle ownership verification on all operations +- No exposure of internal file system paths +- No stack trace information exposed to users + +## Mobile Camera Support + +All file input fields now include the `capture="environment"` attribute, which: +- Prompts mobile users to use their device camera +- Falls back to file picker if camera is not available +- Uses rear camera by default (environment) +- Works on iOS, Android, and modern mobile browsers + +Example: +```html + +``` + +## File Storage + +### Location +- Base directory: `/app/uploads/attachments/` +- Created automatically if it doesn't exist +- Persists across container restarts (volume mounted) + +### Filename Format +``` +{timestamp}_{random_suffix}_{original_filename} +``` +Example: `20231112153045_a1b2c3d4_receipt.pdf` + +### Benefits +- Prevents filename collisions +- Maintains original filename for user reference +- Sortable by upload time +- Unique random component prevents guessing + +## Testing Guide + +### Manual Testing Steps + +1. **Upload Attachment to Fuel Record** + ``` + - Navigate to Fuel page + - Click "Add Fuel Record" + - Fill in required fields + - Click on "Receipt (Optional)" file input + - Select or capture a photo + - Submit form + - Verify file appears in table with "Download" link + ``` + +2. **Upload Attachment to Service Record** + ``` + - Navigate to Service Records page + - Click "Add Service Record" + - Fill in required fields + - Upload a document + - Submit form + - Verify attachment appears + ``` + +3. **Upload Attachment to Recurring Expense (Tax)** + ``` + - Navigate to Taxes page + - Click "Add Tax Record" + - Check "Recurring Expense" + - Fill in required fields + - Upload a document + - Submit form + - Verify attachment appears in recurring expense card + ``` + +4. **Download Attachment** + ``` + - Click any "Download" link + - Verify file downloads correctly + - Verify filename is preserved + ``` + +5. **Delete Record with Attachment** + ``` + - Delete a fuel or service record with an attachment + - Verify record is deleted + - Verify attachment file is also removed from storage + ``` + +6. **Mobile Camera Test (on mobile device)** + ``` + - Open app on mobile phone + - Navigate to any entry form + - Click on attachment file input + - Verify camera prompt appears + - Take a photo + - Submit form + - Verify photo is uploaded and accessible + ``` + +### Security Testing + +1. **Path Traversal Attempt** + ```bash + curl -X GET "http://localhost:5000/api/attachments/download?path=../../etc/passwd" \ + -H "Cookie: session=..." + # Expected: 403 Invalid file path + ``` + +2. **Invalid File Type Upload** + ```bash + curl -X POST "http://localhost:5000/api/upload/attachment" \ + -F "attachment=@malicious.exe" \ + -H "Cookie: session=..." + # Expected: 400 Invalid file type + ``` + +3. **Unauthorized Access** + ```bash + curl -X GET "http://localhost:5000/api/attachments/download?path=attachments/file.pdf" + # Expected: 401/302 Redirect to login + ``` + +## Integration Points + +### Export Functionality +- Attachment paths are included in CSV exports +- Users can reference attachment filenames in exported data + +### Data Backup +- Attachments included in backup/restore operations +- Files stored in mounted volume for persistence + +### UI Display +- All list views show attachment status +- Download links provided where attachments exist +- "None" displayed when no attachment present + +## Migration Process + +### For Existing Installations + +1. Pull latest code +2. Restart container +3. Migration runs automatically via `entrypoint.sh` +4. Existing records remain intact +5. New `document_path` columns available for new records + +### Manual Migration (if needed) + +```bash +# Inside Docker container +cd /app/backend +python migrate_attachments.py +``` + +## Rollback Procedure + +If issues arise: + +1. The `document_path` columns are nullable, so removing them won't break existing functionality +2. To rollback database changes: + ```sql + ALTER TABLE fuel_record DROP COLUMN document_path; + ALTER TABLE recurring_expense DROP COLUMN document_path; + ``` +3. Revert code to previous commit +4. Restart application + +## Future Enhancements (Optional) + +Potential improvements not included in this implementation: +- [ ] Multiple attachments per record +- [ ] Image thumbnail preview in list views +- [ ] Inline image viewer (instead of download) +- [ ] Attachment file size limits configuration +- [ ] Automatic image compression +- [ ] Orphaned file cleanup job +- [ ] Attachment search functionality +- [ ] Cloud storage integration (S3, etc.) + +## Performance Considerations + +- File uploads are processed synchronously but complete quickly for typical file sizes +- No performance impact on record listing (document_path is just a string column) +- File downloads served directly by Flask (consider nginx for production at scale) +- No database queries for file serving (direct file system access) + +## Compliance and Privacy + +- All files stored locally on server (no third-party services) +- No metadata collection or tracking +- Files only accessible by authenticated vehicle owner +- Compliant with data sovereignty requirements +- No external API calls for attachment handling + +## Developer Notes + +### Adding Attachment Support to New Models + +To add attachment support to another model: + +1. Add column to model: + ```python + document_path = db.Column(db.String(255)) + ``` + +2. Create migration to add column to existing databases + +3. Update GET endpoint to return `document_path` + +4. Update POST/PUT endpoints to accept `document_path` + +5. Update DELETE endpoint to cleanup file: + ```python + if record.document_path: + full_path = os.path.join('/app/uploads', record.document_path) + if os.path.isfile(full_path): + os.remove(full_path) + ``` + +6. Update frontend to show download link and accept file upload + +### Common Patterns + +**Upload Pattern:** +```javascript +// 1. Upload file +const formData = new FormData(); +formData.append('attachment', fileInput.files[0]); +const uploadResp = await fetch('/api/upload/attachment', { + method: 'POST', + credentials: 'include', + body: formData +}); +const { file_path } = await uploadResp.json(); + +// 2. Include file_path in record data +const recordData = { + // ... other fields + document_path: file_path +}; +``` + +**Download Link Pattern:** +```javascript +${record.document_path ? + `Download` : + 'None'} +``` + +## Support and Troubleshooting + +### Common Issues + +**Issue: Attachments not showing after upload** +- Check browser console for upload errors +- Verify file type is in allowed list +- Check server logs for upload failures + +**Issue: Download fails** +- Verify file still exists in `/app/uploads/attachments/` +- Check file permissions (should be 0o644) +- Verify user is authenticated + +**Issue: Migration not running** +- Check entrypoint.sh has execute permissions +- Verify migrate_attachments.py is in /app/backend/ +- Check container logs for migration output + +**Issue: Camera not prompting on mobile** +- Verify HTTPS is being used (required for camera access) +- Check browser permissions for camera access +- Some browsers don't support `capture` attribute + +## Conclusion + +This implementation provides complete, secure, and user-friendly attachment support for all entry types in the Masina-Dock application. All requirements have been met with additional security hardening and comprehensive documentation. The solution is production-ready and fully integrated with existing application features.
