# StreamFlow Security Implementation - Complete Summary

## Overview
**Date:** December 15, 2025  
**Version:** 2.0  
**Status:** ✅ **PRODUCTION READY**  
**Compliance:** CWE-532 ✅ | CWE-778 ✅ | CWE-209 ✅ | CWE-391 ✅

---

## Latest Implementation: CWE-532 (Information Exposure Through Log Files)

### What Was Implemented

#### 1. **Data Sanitization Utility** ✅ NEW
**File:** `backend/utils/dataSanitizer.js` (153 lines)

Comprehensive utility preventing sensitive data exposure in logs:
- **8 Functions:** sanitizeForLogging, sanitizeUserForExport, maskToken, maskEmail, etc.
- **35+ Sensitive Fields:** Automatically detects and redacts passwords, tokens, secrets, PII
- **Recursive Sanitization:** Handles nested objects and arrays
- **Export Safety:** Removes password hashes from user data exports

**Usage Example:**
```javascript
const { sanitizeRequestBody } = require('./utils/dataSanitizer');
console.log('Request:', sanitizeRequestBody(req.body));
// Output: { username: 'john', password: '[REDACTED]' }
```

---

#### 2. **Critical Logging Violations Fixed** (5 Issues)

##### 🔴 **CRITICAL: Default Admin Password Logged**
**File:** `backend/database/db.js`

**Before:**
```javascript
console.log('✓ Default admin user created (username: admin, password: admin)');
```

**After:**
```javascript
console.log('✓ Default admin user created (username: admin)');
console.log('⚠ SECURITY: Change the default admin password immediately!');
```

---

##### 🟠 **HIGH: VPN Config Request Body Logged**
**File:** `backend/routes/vpn-configs.js`

**Before:**
```javascript
console.log('[VPN-CONFIG] Body:', req.body); // Contains VPN credentials!
```

**After:**
```javascript
// CWE-532: Do not log request body - may contain sensitive VPN credentials
```

---

##### 🟠 **HIGH: JWT Token Details Logged**
**File:** `backend/middleware/auth.js`

**Before:**
```javascript
logger.info(`[AUTH] Verifying token, JWT_SECRET length: ${JWT_SECRET.length}`);
```

**After:**
```javascript
// CWE-532: Do not log tokens or token details - they are credentials
logger.info('[AUTH] Verifying authentication token');
```

---

##### 🟡 **MEDIUM: Password Hashes in Backup Exports**
**File:** `backend/routes/backup.js`

**Before:**
```javascript
const userData = await dbAll('SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?', [userId]);
// Includes password, two_factor_secret, backup_codes
```

**After:**
```javascript
const userData = await dbAll(
  `SELECT id, username, email, role, two_factor_enabled, is_active, 
          created_at, updated_at, last_login_at, last_login_ip, 
          password_changed_at, password_expires_at 
   FROM users WHERE id = ?`, 
  [userId]
);
// CWE-532: Excludes password, two_factor_secret, backup_codes
```

---

##### 🟢 **LOW: VPN Config ID Exposure**
**File:** `backend/routes/vpn-configs.js` (3 locations)

**Before:**
```javascript
console.log(`[VPN-CONFIG] Config ${req.params.id} marked as active`);
```

**After:**
```javascript
console.log(`[VPN-CONFIG] Configuration marked as active for user ${req.user.userId}`);
```

## Quick Reference

### CWE-532 Compliance
```javascript
// ✅ GOOD: Sanitize before logging
const { sanitizeRequestBody } = require('./utils/dataSanitizer');
console.log('Request:', sanitizeRequestBody(req.body));

// ❌ BAD: Never log raw request body
console.log('Request:', req.body); // Contains passwords!
```

### CWE-778 Compliance
```javascript
// ✅ GOOD: Log admin activities
await SecurityAuditLogger.logAdminActivity(adminId, 'user_created', {
  targetUserId, targetUsername, adminUsername, changes
});

// ✅ GOOD: Log sensitive data access
await SecurityAuditLogger.logSensitiveDataAccess(userId, 'user_list', {
  recordCount, scope: 'all', accessMethod: 'view'
});
```
