Status: Protected
Implementation: All database queries use parameterized statements with .bind() method
Example: env.DB.prepare('SELECT * FROM records WHERE id = ?').bind(id)
Risk Level: Low (verified secure)

Status: Fixed
Vulnerability: User-generated content could potentially contain malicious scripts
Fix Implemented:

• Created escapeHtml() function that escapes HTML special characters
• Applied escaping to all user-generated content in templates
• Replaced innerHTML with safe DOM methods (createElement, textContent, setAttribute)
• Verified all dynamic content is properly escaped
  Risk Level: Medium → Low

Status: Fixed
Vulnerability: Path parameters were extracted without validation
Fix Implemented:

• Created sanitizePathSegment() function to validate and sanitize path segments
• Added extractId() function that validates IDs before use
• Only allows alphanumeric characters, hyphens, and underscores
• Prevents path traversal attempts
  Risk Level: Medium → Low

Status: Fixed
Vulnerability: Error messages exposed internal details
Fix Implemented:

• Generic error messages for users: "An error occurred"
• Detailed errors logged server-side only
• Removed sensitive information from error responses
  Risk Level: Low → Very Low

Status: Fixed
Vulnerability: No authentication for admin routes
Fix Implemented:

• Session-based authentication system
• Password hashing using SHA-256
• Secure cookie handling (HttpOnly, SameSite=Strict)
• Session token validation (KV or D1 database)
• 24-hour session expiration
  Risk Level: High → Low

Status: Fixed
Vulnerability: Missing validation on IDs and user inputs
Fix Implemented:

• All IDs validated against regex pattern: ^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+$ (UUIDs supported)
• Required fields validated before database operations
• Type validation for numeric fields
• Year validation (4-digit format)
• URL validation using new URL() constructor
• Foreign key validation for relationships (stories → records)
• Input trimming to remove whitespace
  Risk Level: Medium → Low

Status: Fixed
Vulnerability: Admin API endpoints were not protected
Fix Implemented:

• All admin routes require authentication
• CSRF protection via SameSite cookies
• Proper HTTP status codes
• JSON response validation
• UUID and URL validation for news stories
  Risk Level: High → Low

Status: Fixed
Vulnerability: No limit on number of news stories per record
Fix Implemented:

• Maximum 100 news stories per record (client and server-side)
• Array length limits enforced
• Invalid items skipped instead of failing entire operation
  Risk Level: Medium → Low

Status: Fixed
Vulnerability: addNewsStoryItem() used innerHTML with user-controlled data
Fix Implemented:

• Replaced with safe DOM methods (createElement, textContent, setAttribute)
• User content never directly inserted via innerHTML
• Browser native escaping for input values
  Risk Level: Medium → Low

• ✅ All /admin/* routes require authentication
• ✅ Session management via KV (primary) or D1 database (fallback)
• ✅ Secure cookies: HttpOnly, SameSite=Strict, 24-hour expiration
• ✅ Password hashing: SHA-256
• ✅ Passwords stored as Cloudflare secrets (not in code)

• ✅ All IDs validated (records, stories) - format: alphanumeric, hyphens, underscores (UUIDs supported)
• ✅ URLs validated using new URL() constructor
• ✅ Year validation: 4-digit format, min/max constraints
• ✅ Input trimming applied to all text inputs
• ✅ Array length limits enforced (100 stories max)
• ✅ Required fields validated before database operations

• ✅ All user-generated content escaped via escapeHtml()
• ✅ Safe DOM manipulation (no innerHTML with user data)
• ✅ Browser native escaping for form inputs
• ✅ Generic error messages prevent information disclosure

• ✅ All queries use parameterized statements with .bind()
• ✅ No string concatenation in SQL queries
• ✅ Dynamic UPDATE queries use hardcoded field names (not user input)
• ✅ All IDs validated before use in queries

• ✅ Maximum 100 news stories per record
• ✅ Client-side validation prevents unnecessary requests
• ✅ Server-side validation as final check
• ✅ Invalid items skipped (don't fail entire operation)

• ✅ All queries use parameterized statements
• ✅ Tested with: '; DROP TABLE records; --
• ✅ No string concatenation in SQL queries

• ✅ All dynamic content is HTML-escaped
• ✅ Tested with payloads: <script>alert('XSS')</script>
• ✅ URLs are properly escaped and validated
• ✅ Safe DOM methods used instead of innerHTML

• ✅ Tested with: ../admin, ....//admin, /admin/../
• ✅ All path segments validated and sanitized
• ✅ Only alphanumeric, hyphen, underscore allowed

• ✅ /admin redirects to login when not authenticated
• ✅ /admin/api/records returns 401 when not authenticated
• ✅ Login requires valid password
• ✅ Sessions expire after 24 hours
• ✅ Invalid sessions redirect to login
• ✅ Logout properly destroys sessions

• ✅ Invalid UUIDs rejected
• ✅ Invalid URLs rejected
• ✅ Invalid year formats rejected
• ✅ Arrays exceeding limits rejected

1. /admin - Admin dashboard

   • Protected by isAuthenticated() check
   • Redirects to /admin/login if not authenticated

2. /admin/api/* - All REST API endpoints

   • Protected by requireAuth() middleware
   • Returns 401 Unauthorized if not authenticated

1. /admin/login - Login page (must be accessible without auth)

   • POST handler validates password before creating session

2. /admin/logout - Logout endpoint

   • Only handles POST method
   • GET requests fall through to auth check (safe)

1. Rate Limiting: Add rate limiting for login attempts (Cloudflare Rate Limiting)
2. Security Headers: Add headers like X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Content-Security-Policy
3. Session Management: Consider shorter session timeouts for production

1. Cloudflare Access: Integrate Cloudflare Zero Trust for enterprise-grade authentication
2. Audit Logging: Log all admin actions for security auditing
3. Two-Factor Authentication: Add 2FA for additional security
4. CSRF Tokens: Add CSRF tokens for state-changing operations (SameSite cookies already help)
5. IP Whitelisting: Optionally restrict admin access to specific IPs

1. Defense in Depth: Multiple layers of security (input validation, parameterized queries, output encoding)
2. Principle of Least Privilege: Admin access is separate from public access
3. Secure Defaults: All admin routes require authentication by default
4. Input Validation: All user inputs are validated before processing
5. Output Encoding: All user-generated content is escaped before rendering
6. Error Handling: Generic error messages prevent information disclosure
7. Session Management: Secure session tokens with expiration (24 hours)
