Dry-run testing capability

4. Enhanced CWE-778 Logging

All security decisions logged

Implementation Components

Backend Infrastructure

1. ThresholdManager (`backend/utils/thresholdManager.js`)

Purpose: Manage configurable notification thresholds

Key Features:

Database table: security_thresholds
8 default thresholds (brute force, credential stuffing, privilege escalation, etc.)
CRUD operations for threshold management
Real-time threshold evaluation
Statistical operators (>=, >, <=, <, ==, !=)
CWE-778 logging for all operations

Default Thresholds:

[
  {
    pattern_type: 'brute_force_attack',
    metric_name: 'failed_login_count',
    operator: '>=',
    threshold_value: 5,
    time_window_minutes: 10,
    severity: 'critical'
  },
  // ... 7 more default thresholds
]

API Methods:

12 default signatures (malicious bots, SQL injection, XSS, etc.)
Pattern matching engine (regex, exact, contains, custom)
Threat level classification (low, medium, high, critical)
Auto-block capabilities
CWE-778 logging for all matches

Signature Types:

ip_address - IP-based threats (TOR, suspicious ranges)
user_agent - Malicious bots and scanners
attack_pattern - SQL injection, XSS, path traversal, command injection
behavior - Brute force, credential stuffing, privilege escalation, data exfiltration

Default Signatures:

[
  {
    signature_id: 'SIG-UA-BOT-MALICIOUS',
    name: 'Malicious Bot User-Agent',
    signature_type: 'user_agent',
    pattern: '(scrapy|python-requests|curl|wget|nikto|sqlmap|havij|acunetix|nessus|openvas)',
    match_type: 'regex_case_insensitive',
    threat_level: 'high',
    confidence: 0.95,
    auto_block: true
  },
  // ... 11 more default signatures
]

API Methods:

matchSignatures(input, signatureType, context) - Match input against signatures
getSignatures(filters) - Get all signatures with optional filters

  {
    protocol_id: 'PROTOCOL-BRUTE-FORCE-RESPONSE',
    name: 'Brute Force Attack Response',
    trigger_type: 'anomaly',
    trigger_condition: { anomaly_type: 'brute_force_attack', severity: 'critical' },
    actions: [
      { action: 'block_ip', duration_minutes: 60, reason: 'brute_force_attack' },
      { action: 'notify_admin', channel: 'email', priority: 'high' },
      { action: 'log_incident', category: 'security_breach' }

4. Enhanced SecurityIntelligence (`backend/utils/securityIntelligence.js`)

Enhancements:

Integrated with ThresholdManager for dynamic threshold evaluation
Uses configured thresholds instead of hardcoded values
Evaluates thresholds before creating anomalies
Enhanced CWE-778 logging for all threshold checks

Example Integration:

// Before (hardcoded)
const threshold = 10; // failed attempts

// After (configurable)
const thresholdConfig = await thresholdManager.getThresholds({ patternType: 'brute_force_attack' });
const threshold = thresholdConfig[0]?.threshold_value || 10;

// Evaluate threshold
const thresholdResult = await thresholdManager.evaluateThreshold(
  'brute_force_attack',
  'failed_login_count',
  row.attempt_count,
  { ip_address: row.ip_address, timeWindow }
);

5. Enhanced AlertSystem (`backend/utils/alertSystem.js`)

Enhancements:

Integrated with ResponseProtocolManager
Automatically executes response protocols when alerts trigger
Logs all protocol executions (CWE-778)
Event-driven automation

Example Integration:

// After alert creation, execute response protocols
await this.executeResponseProtocols('anomaly', {
  anomaly_type: anomaly.type,
  severity: rule.severity
}, {
  alertId,
  ip_address: anomaly.affected_ip,

Log Format

logAggregator.aggregate(
  'threshold_manager',       // Source
  'info',                     // Level
  'security',                 // Category
  'Threshold evaluated',      // Message

    thresholdId: 'THRESHOLD-...',
    patternType: 'brute_force_attack',

    thresholdValue: 5,
    exceeded: true,
    severity: 'critical',

  }
);

Security Considerations

Admin-Only Access

All configuration endpoints require security.manage permission
Only admin users can create/modify/delete thresholds, signatures, and protocols

Validation

Input validation on all API endpoints
Regex pattern validation for signatures
Operator validation for thresholds
Field type validation

Auto-Execution Safeguards

Protocols have auto_execute flag (default: false for critical actions)
Cooldown periods prevent execution flooding
Execution history for audit trail
Warning alerts in UI

Signature Testing

Pattern testing before deployment
Dry-run capability (future enhancement)
Confidence scoring

Testing Recommendations

Manual Testing

Login as admin user
Navigate to Security Dashboard
Click "Security Configuration"
Test threshold CRUD operations
Test signature CRUD operations

Trigger alerts to test automated responses
Check execution history

Automated Testing (Future)
