Subject: [PATCH 3/6] app/helpers/authentication_helpers.rb:

Replaced strict IP/UA binding with flexible multi-level approach
Added IP history tracking with JSON serialization
Implemented two-phase token invalidation for secure logouts
Added maximum token lifetime checks
Added activity timestamp tracking
Added config-based security settings

config/initializers/session_security.rb:

Added configuration for security settings (binding strictness, timeouts)
Configurable settings for IP changes, suspicious activity detection
Set defaults for token lifetime and enforcement windows

config/initializers/reload_authentication.rb:

Added initializer to ensure proper module loading
Force reload of authentication helpers during application startup

db/migrate/20250428135250_add_session_binding_columns_to_auth_tokens.rb:

Added columns for IP history (last_seen_ip, ip_history)
Added suspicious_activity_detected_at for grace period tracking
Added columns for flexible IP binding implementation

db/migrate/20250429074259_add_timestamps_to_auth_tokens.rb:

Added invalidation_requested_at column for two-phase logout
Added last_activity_at for token activity tracking
Added index on invalidation_requested_at for performance

AuthToken.column_names:

Added documentation for new column structure and usage

db/schema.rb:

Updated schema with new auth_tokens table structure

Security validation test results confirm both issues are fixed:

Session tokens cannot be used with different usernames (binding fix)
Session tokens are properly invalidated after logout (fixation fix)

Subject: [PATCH 4/6] AuthToken.column_names -Added the missing documentation
 for new column structure and usage

auth_token.rb
- Added `destroy_invalidated_tokens` to clean up tokens marked for invalidation
- Implemented `initialize_session_binding` to record IP and User-Agent at token creation
- Introduced `ip_history_array` and `add_ip_to_history` to track and update IP usage
- Added `invalidate` method to mark tokens for invalidation via timestamp
- These additions support robust session binding enforcement and replay prevention

20241025050957_add_scorm_feat.rb
- Change `unless` to `if` in the migration file
- Wrapped `add_column`, `remove_column`, and `rename_column` operations with `column_exists?` checks to avoid migration crashes
- Guarded index operations with `index_exists?` to prevent duplication errors during re-runs
- Migrated SCORM-related columns to be added only if missing in `tasks` and `task_definitions`
- Applied safer handling for polymorphic column renaming and indexing in `task_comments`
- Added corresponding `down` method for reversibility with conditional checks

20250419030255_add_session_binding_to_auth_tokens.rb
- Added migration to include `session_ip` and `session_user_agent` columns in auth_tokens table
- Created `destroy_invalidated_tokens` method to clean up tokens marked for invalidation
- Implemented `initialize_session_binding` to store IP/User-Agent on token creation
- Added helpers: `ip_history_array`, `add_ip_to_history`, and `invalidate` for session tracking
- These changes enable session binding enforcement and support mitigation of session hijacking/fixation risks

session_security_fix_verification.md
- Documentation for verifying session security fix
- Added test cases for session binding and fixation prevention
- Included instructions for running tests and verifying the fix

test-session-binding.sh
- Test script for session binding
- Validates that the session binding feature works as intended
- Ensures that tokens are invalidated when the session binding is broken
- Provides feedback on the success or failure of the test

test-session-fixation.sh
- Test script for session fixation
- Validates that the session fixation vulnerability is mitigated
- Ensures that tokens are not reused across different sessions
- Provides feedback on the success or failure of the test

+# AuthToken Column Documentation
+# This file documents the new columns added to auth_tokens table for security enhancements
+
+# Original columns:
+# id: primary key
+# auth_token_expiry: datetime when token expires
+# user_id: user who owns this token
+# authentication_token: the actual token string
+# token_type: type of token (general, api, etc.)
+# session_ip: original IP address that created this token
+# session_user_agent: original User-Agent that created this token
+
+# New columns for session binding:
+# last_seen_ip: most recent IP address that used this token
+# last_seen_ua: most recent User-Agent that used this token
+# ip_history: JSON array of all IPs that have used this token
+# suspicious_activity_detected_at: timestamp when first suspicious change was detected
+
+# New columns for session fixation/hijacking prevention:
+# invalidation_requested_at: timestamp when logout was requested
+# last_activity_at: timestamp of most recent activity with this token
+
+# Security implementation notes:
+# - When validating tokens, check invalidation_requested_at to prevent session fixation
+# - Use ip_history to track and limit the number of different IPs that can use a token
+# - suspicious_activity_detected_at starts a grace period for user to reauthenticate
+# - The combined approach provides flexible session binding while preventing session stealing across users

+## Session Security Remediation Verification Summary
+
+### 1. Session Hijacking – Insufficient Session Binding
+
+**Original Issue**
+The application allowed a stolen privileged session token to be reused by a low-privileged user (e.g., student), enabling unauthorized actions like unit creation due to lack of session binding.
+
+**Fix Implemented**
+Introduced **session binding checks** that validate the session token against the associated username and request context.
+
+**Test Performed**
+- Admin token was obtained and used with student credentials.
+- Attempted privileged actions (`POST /api/units`) and access to endpoints (`/api/admin`, `/api/unit_roles`).
+- Verified admin token still works correctly with admin credentials.
+
+**Result: FIXED**
+- Cross-user token reuse was **blocked** (HTTP 419).
+- Admin endpoints were **inaccessible** to students.
+- Normal admin functionality was **preserved**.
+
+---
+
+### 2. Session Fixation – Token Persistence after Logout
+
+**Original Issue**
+A malicious actor could intercept and drop the `DELETE /api/auth` logout request, allowing the token to remain valid and reused post-logout.
+
+**Fix Implemented**
+Enforced **server-side invalidation** of session tokens, independent of client logout request completion.
+
+**Test Performed**
+- Admin logged in and obtained a token.
+- Simulated intercepted logout request.
+- Waited 20 seconds (simulating enforcement window).
+- Attempted to reuse the stolen token.
+- Re-logged in with valid credentials.
+
+**Result: FIXED**
+- Reuse of the old token was **rejected** (HTTP 419).
+- New login succeeded, confirming **normal functionality**.
+
+---
+
+### Overall Conclusion
+
+Both vulnerabilities have been remediated successfully:
+- ✔️ **Session tokens are now bound to the correct user context.**
+- ✔️ **Tokens are invalidated on logout, even if the request is dropped.**
+
+These fixes significantly reduce the risk of session hijacking and forced persistence attacks, aligning the system with OWASP session management best practices.
