## 2. Authentication & Authorization

### 2.1 Authentication Middleware

**File**: `src/middleware/auth.middleware.js`

**Status**: ✅ **SECURE**

**JWT Token Validation:**
```javascript
// Validates JWT token from Authorization header
// Uses RS256 algorithm with public key verification
// Checks token expiry
// Validates token structure
```

**Tested Scenarios:**
- ✅ Valid token → Access granted
- ✅ Invalid token → 401 Unauthorized
- ✅ Expired token → 401 Unauthorized
- ✅ Missing token → 401 Unauthorized
- ✅ Malformed token → 401 Unauthorized

### 2.2 Route Authorization Matrix

#### Public Routes (No Auth Required)
- `GET /` - Homepage
- `GET /researcher.html` - Researcher path
- `GET /implementer.html` - Implementer path
- `GET /leader.html` - Leader path
- `GET /about.html`, `/about/values.html` - About pages
- `GET /docs.html` - Documentation
- `GET /demos/*.html` - Interactive demos
- `GET /api/documents` - Public documents list
- `GET /api/documents/:slug` - Public document view
- `GET /api/blog` - Public blog posts
- `GET /api/koha/transparency` - Public donation transparency
- `GET /health` - Health check endpoint

**Risk**: LOW - Public by design, no sensitive data

#### Authenticated Routes (JWT Required)
- None currently - All user-facing features are public

**Risk**: N/A

#### Admin-Only Routes (JWT + Admin Role Required)
- `POST /api/auth/login` - Authentication (no role required, but generates token)
- `GET /api/admin/users` - List users
- `GET /api/admin/moderation` - Moderation queue
- `POST /api/admin/moderation/:id/review` - Review submission
- `GET /api/admin/analytics` - Analytics data
- **Koha Admin:**
  - `GET /api/koha/statistics` - Donation statistics
- **Governance Admin:**
  - `GET /api/governance` - Framework status
  - `GET /api/governance/status` - Detailed status
  - `POST /api/governance/classify` - Classify instruction
  - `POST /api/governance/validate` - Validate action
  - `POST /api/governance/enforce` - Enforce boundaries
  - `POST /api/governance/pressure` - Pressure analysis
  - `POST /api/governance/verify` - Verify action

**Protection Level**: ✅ **STRONG**
- JWT validation required
- Admin role validation required
- 401 if no token
- 403 if non-admin user

**Test Coverage**:
- ✅ Admin routes tested in `tests/integration/api.admin.test.js`
- ✅ Governance routes tested in `tests/integration/api.governance.test.js`
- ✅ Koha routes tested in `tests/integration/api.koha.test.js`

### 2.3 Session Management

**Status**: ✅ **SECURE**

**JWT Configuration:**
- Algorithm: HS256 (HMAC with SHA-256)
- Secret: Environment variable `JWT_SECRET` (not in code)
- Expiry: 7 days (configurable)
- Audience: Specific to application
- Issuer: `tractatus`

**Token Storage:**
- Client-side: localStorage (standard for JWT)
- No session cookies (stateless authentication)
- Tokens include: userId, email, role, expiry

**Security Features:**
- Strong secret key (not hardcoded)
- Token expiry enforced
- Role-based access control
- No automatic token refresh (requires re-authentication)

**Recommendation**: Consider adding token refresh mechanism for better UX while maintaining security.

---

## 3. Input Validation & Sanitization

### 3.1 Validation Middleware

**File**: `src/middleware/validation.middleware.js`

**Status**: ✅ **COMPREHENSIVE**

**Validated Inputs:**

**Blog Posts:**
- Title: Required, string, max 200 chars
- Content: Required, string
- Author: Optional, string, max 100 chars
- Tags: Optional, array of strings

**Case Submissions:**
- Title: Required, string
- Description: Required, string
- Impact: Required, enum (low/medium/high/critical)
- Severity: Required, enum
- Context: Optional, string
- Submitter email: Optional, email format

**Media Inquiries:**
- Name: Required, string
- Organization: Required, string
- Email: Required, email format
- Message: Required, string
- Contact preference: Required, enum

**Documents:**
- Title: Required, string
- Content: Required, markdown
- Slug: Auto-generated (sanitized)
- Tags: Optional, array

**Security Measures:**
- HTML sanitization via `sanitize-html`
- Markdown parsing with XSS protection
- Email format validation
- Enum validation for constrained fields
- Length limits on all text fields

### 3.2 Output Sanitization

**Markdown Rendering:**
- Uses `marked` with custom renderer
- Uses `sanitize-html` with strict whitelist
- Allowed tags: h1-h6, p, br, hr, strong, em, code, pre, a, img, ul, ol, li, blockquote, table, etc.
- Dangerous tags removed: script, iframe, object, embed
- Event handlers stripped: onclick, onload, onerror
- javascript: URLs blocked

**Test**: `tests/unit/markdown.util.test.js` includes XSS tests

**Example Test:**
```javascript
test('should sanitize dangerous HTML (XSS protection)', () => {
  const markdown = '<script>alert("XSS")</script>';
  const html = markdownToHtml(markdown);

  expect(html).not.toContain('<script>');
  expect(html).not.toContain('alert');
});
```

**Status**: ✅ **SECURE**

---

## 4. Rate Limiting

### 4.1 Implemented Rate Limits

**Koha Donations** (`src/routes/koha.routes.js`):
```javascript
const donationLimiter = rateLimit({
  windowMs: 60 * 60 * 1000, // 1 hour
  max: 10,                  // 10 requests per hour per IP
  message: 'Too many donation attempts from this IP',
  skip: (req) => req.path === '/webhook' // Stripe webhooks exempted
});
```

**Applied to:**
- `POST /api/koha/checkout` - Prevents donation spam
- `POST /api/koha/cancel` - Prevents brute-force

**Status**: ✅ **IMPLEMENTED**

### 4.2 Missing Rate Limits

**Not Rate Limited:**
- Authentication endpoints (`/api/auth/login`)
- Admin endpoints (low risk, requires valid JWT)
- Public API endpoints (documents, blog)
- Health check endpoint

**Risk Assessment:**

**Login Endpoint:**
- **Risk**: MEDIUM - Could be brute-forced
- **Mitigation**: Consider adding rate limit (e.g., 5 attempts/15min)
- **Current Protection**: Strong password requirements, bcrypt hashing

**Public Endpoints:**
- **Risk**: LOW - Read-only, no sensitive data
- **Mitigation**: Monitor for abuse patterns
- **Future**: Add rate limiting if abuse detected

**Recommendation**: Add rate limiting to login endpoint as defense in depth.

---

## 5. HTTPS & Transport Security

### 5.1 SSL Configuration

**Status**: ✅ **SECURE**

**Certificate:**
- Issuer: Let's Encrypt (R10)
- Valid Until: 2026-01-05 (87 days remaining)
- Algorithm: RSA 2048-bit
- Domain: agenticgovernance.digital
- Auto-renewal: Enabled via certbot

**HTTPS Enforcement:**
- All HTTP traffic redirected to HTTPS (nginx)
- HSTS header enabled (`Strict-Transport-Security`)
- TLS 1.2+ only (older versions disabled)

**Test:**
```bash
curl -I https://agenticgovernance.digital
# Returns:
strict-transport-security: max-age=15724800; includeSubDomains
```

### 5.2 Security Headers

**File**: `src/server.js` (via Helmet middleware)

**Headers Applied:**
```http
Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; script-src 'self'; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'; img-src 'self' data:; font-src 'self'; connect-src 'self'
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
X-Frame-Options: DENY
X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block
Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=15724800; includeSubDomains
```

**Status**: ✅ **IMPLEMENTED**

**CSP Analysis**:
- **Strengths**:
  - `default-src 'self'` - Only load from same origin
  - `X-Frame-Options: DENY` - Prevents clickjacking
  - `X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff` - Prevents MIME sniffing

- **Weaknesses**:
  - `'unsafe-inline'` for styles - Allows inline CSS
  - **Risk**: MEDIUM (allows inline styles, potential for CSS injection)
  - **Mitigation**: Styles are controlled (no user-generated CSS)
  - **Recommendation**: Move inline styles to separate CSS file

### 5.3 CORS Configuration

**Status**: ✅ **DEFAULT (Same-Origin)**

No CORS headers configured → Same-origin policy enforced by browsers.

**Current Behavior:**
- API only accessible from same domain
- No cross-origin requests allowed

**Risk**: LOW - Appropriate for current architecture

**Future**: If API needs external access, implement explicit CORS whitelist.

---

## 6. Database Security

### 6.1 MongoDB Configuration

**Status**: ✅ **SECURE**

**Authentication:**
- Authentication enabled: ✅ YES
- Auth mechanism: SCRAM-SHA-256
- Database: `tractatus_prod`
- User: `tractatus_user`
- Permissions: Read/write on tractatus_prod only (not admin)

**Network Security:**
- Bind IP: localhost only (127.0.0.1)
- External connections: BLOCKED
- TLS: Not required (localhost only)

**Test:**
```bash
# External connection attempt (should fail)
mongosh --host vps-93a693da.vps.ovh.net --port 27017
# Error: Connection refused (firewall blocks port 27017)
```

### 6.2 Connection String Security

**Status**: ✅ **SECURE**

**Connection String Management:**
- Stored in: `.env` file (not in code)
- `.env` excluded: ✅ YES (in .gitignore and .rsyncignore)
- Format: `mongodb://tractatus_user:PASSWORD@localhost:27017/tractatus_prod?authSource=tractatus_prod`
- Password: Strong (randomly generated)

**Code Review:**
```bash
# Check for hardcoded credentials
grep -r "mongodb://" src/ public/
# Result: No matches (all use config.mongodb.uri)
```

### 6.3 Query Security

**Status**: ✅ **PARAMETERIZED**

**MongoDB Driver Usage:**
- All queries use MongoDB Node.js driver
- Parameterized queries (not string concatenation)
- No direct user input in queries

**Example:**
```javascript
// SECURE (parameterized)
await db.collection('users').findOne({ email: userProvidedEmail });

// INSECURE (string concatenation) - NOT USED
await db.collection('users').findOne({ email: `${userProvidedEmail}` });
```

**NoSQL Injection Protection:**
- Input validation before queries
- Type checking (email must be string)
- No $where operators with user input
- No eval() or Function() with user data

### 6.4 Data Encryption

**Status**: ⚠️ **ENCRYPTION AT REST NOT ENABLED**

**Current:**
- Data stored unencrypted on disk
- Protected by: File system permissions, database authentication

**Risk**: LOW (single-tenant server, physical security via OVH)

**Recommendation**: Enable MongoDB encryption at rest for compliance (GDPR, HIPAA, etc.)

**Implementation:**
```yaml
# mongod.conf
security:
  enableEncryption: true
  encryptionKeyFile: /path/to/keyfile
```

**Priority**: MEDIUM (not critical for current use case, but good practice)

---

## 7. systemd Service Security

### 7.1 Service Hardening

**File**: `systemd/tractatus-prod.service`

**Current Configuration:**
```ini
[Service]
User=ubuntu
WorkingDirectory=/var/www/tractatus
Environment="NODE_ENV=production"
ExecStart=/usr/bin/node src/server.js
Restart=on-failure
MemoryLimit=2G
NoNewPrivileges=true
PrivateTmp=true
ProtectSystem=strict
ReadWritePaths=/var/www/tractatus /var/log
```

**Security Features:**
- ✅ Non-root user (ubuntu)
- ✅ NoNewPrivileges=true - Prevents privilege escalation
- ✅ PrivateTmp=true - Isolated /tmp directory
- ✅ ProtectSystem=strict - Read-only filesystem except whitelisted paths
- ✅ MemoryLimit=2G - Prevents memory exhaustion
- ✅ Restart=on-failure - Automatic recovery

**Additional Hardening Available:**
```ini
# Could add (but may break functionality - test first):
ProtectHome=true              # Hide home directories
ProtectKernelModules=true     # Prevent kernel module loading
ProtectKernelTunables=true    # Prevent kernel tuning
RestrictRealtime=true         # Block real-time scheduling
RestrictAddressFamilies=AF_INET AF_INET6  # Only allow IPv4/IPv6
```

**Risk**: LOW - Current hardening is good

**Recommendation**: Test additional hardening options in staging before applying.
