Route Conflict Analysis

NO CONFLICTS DETECTED

Conflict Prevention Strategies:

  1. Unique Base Paths: Each feature has distinct base path
  2. Specific Routes First: More specific routes registered before generic ones
  3. ID Validation: Routes with :id validated to prevent overlap
  4. HTTP Method Separation: Same paths use different HTTP methods

Potential Conflict Points (Resolved):

  1. /api/users/:id vs /api/users/me - NOT present (no conflict)
  2. /api/sessions/:sessionId vs /api/sessions/all - Different methods
  3. /api/rbac/roles/:roleKey vs /api/rbac/roles - Specific order OK
  4. /api/vpn/configs/:id vs /api/vpn/configs/upload - POST vs GET

Security Risk Assessment

LOW RISK - All Critical Issues Addressed

Authentication:

  • JWT with secure secrets
  • Session management with timeouts
  • 2FA support (TOTP + backup codes)
  • Account lockout (5 attempts, 30min)
  • Password expiry (90 days)

Authorization:

  • Role-based access control (admin/user)
  • Permission-based granular control
  • Admin-only routes protected
  • Last-admin protection

Input Validation:

  • express-validator on all inputs
  • File upload validation (size, type)
  • SQL injection prevention (parameterized queries)
  • XSS prevention (Content Security Policy)

Rate Limiting:

  • Authentication routes: 5 req/15min
  • Modification routes: 100 req/15min
  • Read routes: 1000 req/15min
  • Heavy routes: 50 req/15min
  • Backup operations: 10 req/hour

Logging & Monitoring:

  • CWE-778: Comprehensive audit logging
  • CWE-532: No sensitive data in logs
  • CWE-209: Error messages sanitized
  • CWE-391: Error tracking enabled

Deployment Checklist

Pre-Deployment:

  • [] All routes use authentication middleware
  • [] Admin routes use requireAdmin or requirePermission
  • [] Rate limiters configured appropriately
  • [] Input validation on all user inputs
  • [] CWE-532 compliance (no sensitive data logged)
  • [] CWE-778 compliance (audit logging)
  • [] CSP headers configured
  • [] HTTPS enforced in production

Testing:

  • [] Admin can access all admin routes
  • [] Users cannot access admin routes
  • [] Rate limiting works correctly
  • [] Session timeout works
  • [] Account lockout works
  • [] 2FA works correctly
  • [] Backup exports don't contain passwords

Future Enhancements

Potential Route Additions:
