## Vulnerability Assessment (OWASP Top 10 2021)

### A01: Broken Access Control ✅ SECURE
**Status:** No vulnerabilities found

**Current Controls:**
- Origin validation on PDF endpoint prevents unauthorized external access
- Rate limiting (3 requests/minute) prevents abuse
- Path validation prevents directory traversal attacks
- No authentication/authorization required (public portfolio site)

**Evidence:**
```go
// Origin validation implemented
func OriginChecker(next http.Handler) http.Handler {
    // Validates Origin and Referer headers
    // Blocks external access to resource-intensive endpoints
}

// Path traversal prevention
func validateRepoPath(path string) error {
    // Ensures path is within project directory
    // Prevents ../../../etc/passwd attacks
}
```

**Test Results:**
```bash
✅ PASS: TestValidateRepoPath (path traversal prevention)
✅ PASS: TestGetGitRepoFirstCommitDate_SecurityValidation
```

---

### A02: Cryptographic Failures ✅ SECURE
**Status:** No sensitive data storage, proper TLS configuration

**Current Controls:**
- HSTS header enforced in production (1 year, includeSubDomains, preload)
- No passwords, API keys, or secrets in codebase
- Environment variables used for configuration
- TLS termination recommended at reverse proxy (Nginx)

**Recommendations:**
- ✅ Already using `.env` file (not committed to git)
- ✅ `.env.example` provided without secrets
- ⚠️ Ensure production uses strong TLS cipher suites (see Nginx config below)

---

### A03: Injection ✅ SECURE
**Status:** No injection vulnerabilities found

#### SQL Injection: N/A
- **No database usage** - Application reads from JSON files only
- Static data in `/data/cv-{lang}.json`

#### XSS (Cross-Site Scripting): SECURE ✅
**Template Auto-Escaping:**
```go
// Go's html/template automatically escapes all variables
{{.CV.Personal.Name}}  // Auto-escaped
{{.CV.Personal.Email}} // Auto-escaped
```

**SafeHTML Usage - CONTROLLED:**
```go
// Only used for trusted CV YAML content, never user input
"safeHTML": func(s string) template.HTML {
    return template.HTML(s)
}
```

**Verification:**
- All user-facing data passes through `html/template`
- No `innerHTML`, `eval()`, or dangerous DOM manipulation
- CSP header blocks inline scripts (except trusted sources)

#### Command Injection: SECURE ✅
**go-git Library Usage:**
```go
// Uses pure Go library, NO shell commands
repo, err := git.PlainOpen(repoPath)
// Instead of: exec.Command("git", "log", repoPath)
```

**Security Tests:**
```bash
✅ Malicious paths rejected: "../../../etc/passwd", "data | cat /etc/passwd"
✅ Command injection attempts blocked: "data; rm -rf /", "data`whoami`"
```

---

### A04: Insecure Design ⚠️ NEEDS IMPROVEMENT
**Status:** Generally secure, CSRF protection needed

**Current State:**
- ✅ Rate limiting on resource-intensive endpoints
- ✅ Origin validation prevents hotlinking
- ⚠️ **MISSING:** CSRF tokens for POST endpoints
- ⚠️ **MISSING:** Security event logging

**CSRF Vulnerability - POST Endpoints:**
```go
// VULNERABLE: No CSRF protection
POST /toggle/length
POST /toggle/icons
POST /toggle/theme
POST /switch-language
```

**Impact:** Low (only changes user preferences, no data modification)

**Recommended Fix:**
1. Implement CSRF token generation and validation
2. Add token to all POST requests via HTMX
3. Validate token in middleware

---

### A05: Security Misconfiguration ✅ MOSTLY SECURE
**Status:** Good security headers, minor improvements needed

**Current Security Headers (Excellent):**
```go
// Strong CSP policy
Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self';
  script-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline' https://unpkg.com https://cdn.jsdelivr.net;
  style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline' https://fonts.googleapis.com;
  ...

// Clickjacking protection
X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN

// MIME sniffing prevention
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff

// HSTS (production only)
Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload

// Privacy protection
Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin

// Feature policy
Permissions-Policy: geolocation=(), microphone=(), camera=(), ...
```

**Recommendations:**
1. ✅ CSP is comprehensive
2. ⚠️ Consider tightening `'unsafe-inline'` for scripts (use nonces)
3. ✅ HSTS properly configured for production
4. ⚠️ Add `X-Permitted-Cross-Domain-Policies: none`
5. ⚠️ Add `Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy: same-origin`
6. ⚠️ Add `Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy: require-corp`

---

### A06: Vulnerable and Outdated Components ⚠️ CHECK REGULARLY
**Status:** Dependencies need regular auditing

**Current Dependencies:**
```go
// go.mod
chromedp/chromedp v0.14.2  // PDF generation
joho/godotenv v1.5.1       // Environment variables
go-git/go-git v5.16.4      // Git operations (no shell commands)
```

**Recommendations:**
1. Run `go list -m -u all` regularly for updates
2. Subscribe to security advisories for:
   - chromedp (Chromium vulnerabilities)
   - go-git (Git parsing vulnerabilities)
3. Implement automated dependency scanning (Dependabot/Snyk)

**Frontend Dependencies:**
```javascript
// index.html - Using CDN with SRI
htmx.org@1.9.10 (SRI: sha384-D1Kt99CQMDuVetoL1lrYwg5t+9QdHe7NLX...)
hyperscript.org@0.9.14 (no SRI - ADD THIS)
iconify-icon@2.1.0 (no SRI - ADD THIS)
```

**Action Items:**
- ⚠️ Add SRI hashes for all CDN scripts
- ⚠️ Update hyperscript to latest version
- ⚠️ Monitor HTMX security advisories

---

### A07: Identification and Authentication Failures N/A
**Status:** No authentication system (public portfolio)

**Rationale:**
- Public CV portfolio site - no login required
- No user accounts or sessions
- Cookies only store UI preferences (non-sensitive)

**Future Contact Form:**
- Will require email validation
- Rate limiting per IP (5/hour recommended)
- Honeypot + timing validation for bot prevention

---

### A08: Software and Data Integrity Failures ⚠️ NEEDS IMPROVEMENT
**Status:** Missing SRI for some CDN resources

**Current State:**
- ✅ HTMX loaded with SRI hash
- ⚠️ Hyperscript missing SRI
- ⚠️ Iconify missing SRI
- ✅ No code integrity checks (not needed for static Go binary)

**Recommendations:**
```html
<!-- Add SRI hashes -->
<script src="https://unpkg.com/hyperscript.org@0.9.14"
        integrity="sha384-[GENERATE_SRI_HASH]"
        crossorigin="anonymous"></script>

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/iconify-icon@2.1.0/dist/iconify-icon.min.js"
        integrity="sha384-[GENERATE_SRI_HASH]"
        crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
```

**Generate SRI:** https://www.srihash.org/

---

### A09: Security Logging and Monitoring ⚠️ NEEDS IMPROVEMENT
**Status:** Basic logging, needs security event tracking

**Current Logging:**
```go
// Basic request logging
log.Printf("[%s] %s %s - %d (%v)", r.Method, r.URL.Path, r.RemoteAddr, status, duration)

// Error logging
log.Printf("ERROR [%s %s]: %v", r.Method, r.URL.Path, err)
```

**Missing Security Events:**
- ❌ Rate limit violations
- ❌ Origin validation failures
- ❌ CSRF validation failures (when implemented)
- ❌ Suspicious request patterns
- ❌ PDF generation failures (could indicate attack)

**Recommendations:** See Security Logging section below

---

### A10: Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) ✅ SECURE
**Status:** No SSRF vulnerability

**Analysis:**
- PDF generation uses internal server address only
- No user-controlled URLs in `chromedp.Navigate()`
- No external HTTP requests from user input

**Current Implementation:**
```go
// Hardcoded server address, not user-controlled
targetURL := fmt.Sprintf("http://%s/?lang=%s", h.serverAddr, req.Lang)
pdfData, err := h.pdfGenerator.GenerateFromURLWithOptions(ctx, targetURL, cookies, renderMode)
```

**No SSRF risk - URL is constructed server-side with validated parameters only.**

## Security Weaknesses & Recommendations

### 1. CSRF Protection - MISSING ⚠️
**Priority:** Medium
**Severity:** Low (no sensitive data, only UI preferences)

**Vulnerable Endpoints:**
```
POST /toggle/length
POST /toggle/icons
POST /toggle/theme
POST /switch-language
```

**Recommendation:** Implement CSRF token system (see implementation below)

---

### 2. Security Logging - INSUFFICIENT ⚠️
**Priority:** High
**Severity:** Medium

**Missing Events:**
- Rate limit violations (potential attack indicators)
- Origin validation failures (hotlinking attempts)
- Repeated failed requests (reconnaissance/scanning)
- Suspicious user agents (bots, scrapers)

**Recommendation:** Implement structured security logging (see implementation below)

---

### 3. Subresource Integrity - INCOMPLETE ⚠️
**Priority:** Medium
**Severity:** Low

**Missing SRI Hashes:**
- Hyperscript library
- Iconify library

**Recommendation:** Add SRI hashes for all CDN resources

---

### 4. Input Sanitization for Future Contact Form ⚠️
**Priority:** CRITICAL (when implementing contact form)

**Required Security Controls:**
1. Email header injection prevention
2. Strict input validation (see design below)
3. Rate limiting (5 requests/hour per IP)
4. Bot protection (honeypot + timing)
5. **Origin validation (BROWSER-ONLY access)**
6. CSRF token validation
7. Email address validation (RFC 5322)
8. Content-Type enforcement

**See Contact Form Security Design below for complete implementation.**

---

## Contact Form Security Design 🔐

### CRITICAL REQUIREMENT: Browser-Only Access
The contact form endpoint MUST reject all non-browser requests:
- ❌ Block: curl, Postman, wget, Python requests, HTTPie, etc.
- ✅ Allow: Only genuine browser requests from the same origin

### Security Architecture

```
Browser → [Origin Validation] → [CSRF Token] → [Rate Limit] →
→ [Bot Detection] → [Input Validation] → [Email Sanitization] → [Send Email]
```

### 1. Origin Validation (CRITICAL)
```go
// BrowserOnlyMiddleware - Blocks non-browser requests
func BrowserOnlyMiddleware(next http.Handler) http.Handler {
    return http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
        // Check 1: Require Origin or Referer header
        origin := r.Header.Get("Origin")
        referer := r.Header.Get("Referer")

        if origin == "" && referer == "" {
            // No Origin/Referer = command-line tool (curl, wget)
            logSecurityEvent("BLOCKED", r, "Missing Origin/Referer headers")
            http.Error(w, "Forbidden: Browser access required", http.StatusForbidden)
            return
        }

        // Check 2: Validate origin matches allowed domains
        if !isAllowedOrigin(origin, allowedOrigins) && !isAllowedOrigin(referer, allowedOrigins) {
            logSecurityEvent("BLOCKED", r, "Invalid origin: " + origin)
            http.Error(w, "Forbidden: Invalid origin", http.StatusForbidden)
            return
        }

        // Check 3: Require X-Requested-With header (AJAX/HTMX)
        requestedWith := r.Header.Get("X-Requested-With")
        if requestedWith != "XMLHttpRequest" && r.Header.Get("HX-Request") == "" {
            logSecurityEvent("BLOCKED", r, "Missing X-Requested-With/HX-Request")
            http.Error(w, "Forbidden: AJAX/HTMX request required", http.StatusForbidden)
            return
        }

        // Check 4: User-Agent validation (reject obvious bots)
        ua := r.Header.Get("User-Agent")
        if isSuspiciousUserAgent(ua) {
            logSecurityEvent("BLOCKED", r, "Suspicious User-Agent: " + ua)
            http.Error(w, "Forbidden", http.StatusForbidden)
            return
        }

        next.ServeHTTP(w, r)
    })
}

func isSuspiciousUserAgent(ua string) bool {
    ua = strings.ToLower(ua)

    // Block common command-line tools
    blockedAgents := []string{
        "curl", "wget", "python-requests", "postman",
        "httpie", "insomnia", "paw", "rest-client",
        "apache-httpclient", "java/", "go-http-client",
        "libwww-perl", "axios", "node-fetch",
    }

    for _, blocked := range blockedAgents {
        if strings.Contains(ua, blocked) {
            return true
        }
    }

    // Empty User-Agent (common for scripts)
    if ua == "" {
        return true
    }

    return false
}
```

### 2. Input Validation
```go
type ContactFormRequest struct {
    Name    string `json:"name" validate:"required,max=100,alpha_space"`
    Email   string `json:"email" validate:"required,email,max=254"`
    Company string `json:"company" validate:"max=100,alphanum_space"`
    Subject string `json:"subject" validate:"required,max=200,safe_chars"`
    Message string `json:"message" validate:"required,max=5000"`

    // Bot detection fields
    Honeypot  string `json:"website"`    // Should be empty
    Timestamp int64  `json:"timestamp"`  // Form load time
}

// ValidateContactForm performs comprehensive validation
func ValidateContactForm(req *ContactFormRequest) error {
    // Honeypot check
    if req.Honeypot != "" {
        return errors.New("bot detected")
    }

    // Timing check (must take at least 2 seconds)
    now := time.Now().Unix()
    if now - req.Timestamp < 2 {
        return errors.New("form submitted too quickly")
    }

    // Email validation (RFC 5322)
    if !isValidEmail(req.Email) {
        return errors.New("invalid email address")
    }

    // Email header injection prevention
    if containsEmailInjection(req.Name) || containsEmailInjection(req.Email) ||
       containsEmailInjection(req.Subject) {
        return errors.New("invalid characters in email fields")
    }

    // Name validation (alphanumeric + spaces only)
    if !regexp.MustCompile(`^[a-zA-Z\s'-]+$`).MatchString(req.Name) {
        return errors.New("invalid name format")
    }

    // Subject validation (safe characters only)
    if !regexp.MustCompile(`^[a-zA-Z0-9\s.,!?-]+$`).MatchString(req.Subject) {
        return errors.New("invalid subject format")
    }

    // Message sanitization (strip HTML tags)
    req.Message = stripHTMLTags(req.Message)

    return nil
}

// containsEmailInjection checks for email header injection attempts
func containsEmailInjection(s string) bool {
    // Check for newlines (header injection)
    if strings.ContainsAny(s, "\r\n") {
        return true
    }

    // Check for email header patterns
    dangerousPatterns := []string{
        "Content-Type:", "MIME-Version:", "Content-Transfer-Encoding:",
        "bcc:", "cc:", "to:", "from:",
    }

    sLower := strings.ToLower(s)
    for _, pattern := range dangerousPatterns {
        if strings.Contains(sLower, pattern) {
            return true
        }
    }

    return false
}

func isValidEmail(email string) bool {
    // RFC 5322 regex (simplified)
    pattern := `^[a-zA-Z0-9._%+\-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.\-]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,}$`
    matched, _ := regexp.MatchString(pattern, email)
    return matched && len(email) <= 254
}

func stripHTMLTags(s string) string {
    // Remove all HTML tags
    re := regexp.MustCompile(`<[^>]*>`)
    return re.ReplaceAllString(s, "")
}
```

### 3. Rate Limiting (Strict)
```go
// Contact form rate limiter: 5 requests per hour per IP
contactRateLimiter := middleware.NewRateLimiter(5, 1*time.Hour)

// Apply to contact endpoint
protectedContactHandler := middleware.BrowserOnlyMiddleware(
    middleware.CSRFProtection(
        contactRateLimiter.Middleware(
            http.HandlerFunc(contactHandler.SendMessage),
        ),
    ),
)
mux.Handle("/api/contact", protectedContactHandler)
```

### 4. CSRF Protection
```go
// Generate CSRF token on page load
func (h *ContactHandler) ShowContactForm(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
    token := generateCSRFToken()

    // Set token in secure cookie
    http.SetCookie(w, &http.Cookie{
        Name:     "csrf_token",
        Value:    token,
        Path:     "/",
        HttpOnly: true,
        Secure:   true, // HTTPS only
        SameSite: http.SameSiteStrictMode,
        MaxAge:   3600, // 1 hour
    })

    // Also pass token to template for hidden field
    data := map[string]interface{}{
        "CSRFToken": token,
    }

    h.templates.Render(w, "contact.html", data)
}

// Validate CSRF token on submission
func validateCSRFToken(r *http.Request) error {
    cookie, err := r.Cookie("csrf_token")
    if err != nil {
        return errors.New("missing CSRF token cookie")
    }

    formToken := r.FormValue("csrf_token")
    if formToken == "" {
        return errors.New("missing CSRF token in request")
    }

    if !secureCompare(cookie.Value, formToken) {
        return errors.New("CSRF token mismatch")
    }

    return nil
}

// Constant-time comparison to prevent timing attacks
func secureCompare(a, b string) bool {
    return subtle.ConstantTimeCompare([]byte(a), []byte(b)) == 1
}

func generateCSRFToken() string {
    b := make([]byte, 32)
    rand.Read(b)
    return base64.URLEncoding.EncodeToString(b)
}
```

### 5. Email Sanitization
```go
func sanitizeEmailContent(req *ContactFormRequest) {
    // Remove all newlines from header fields
    req.Name = strings.ReplaceAll(req.Name, "\r", "")
    req.Name = strings.ReplaceAll(req.Name, "\n", "")
    req.Email = strings.ReplaceAll(req.Email, "\r", "")
    req.Email = strings.ReplaceAll(req.Email, "\n", "")
    req.Subject = strings.ReplaceAll(req.Subject, "\r", "")
    req.Subject = strings.ReplaceAll(req.Subject, "\n", "")

    // Trim whitespace
    req.Name = strings.TrimSpace(req.Name)
    req.Email = strings.TrimSpace(req.Email)
    req.Company = strings.TrimSpace(req.Company)
    req.Subject = strings.TrimSpace(req.Subject)
    req.Message = strings.TrimSpace(req.Message)

    // HTML entity encoding for message body
    req.Message = template.HTMLEscapeString(req.Message)
}
```

### 6. Complete Contact Handler
```go
func (h *ContactHandler) SendMessage(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
    // Parse request
    var req ContactFormRequest
    if err := json.NewDecoder(r.Body).Decode(&req); err != nil {
        HandleError(w, r, BadRequestError("Invalid request format"))
        return
    }

    // Set timestamp from server (don't trust client)
    req.Timestamp = time.Now().Unix()

    // Validate CSRF token
    if err := validateCSRFToken(r); err != nil {
        logSecurityEvent("CSRF_VIOLATION", r, err.Error())
        HandleError(w, r, ForbiddenError("CSRF validation failed"))
        return
    }

    // Validate input
    if err := ValidateContactForm(&req); err != nil {
        logSecurityEvent("VALIDATION_FAILED", r, err.Error())
        HandleError(w, r, BadRequestError(err.Error()))
        return
    }

    // Sanitize content
    sanitizeEmailContent(&req)

    // Send email (using standard library or third-party service)
    if err := h.emailService.Send(req); err != nil {
        logSecurityEvent("EMAIL_SEND_FAILED", r, err.Error())
        HandleError(w, r, InternalError(err))
        return
    }

    // Log success
    logSecurityEvent("CONTACT_FORM_SENT", r, fmt.Sprintf("From: %s", req.Email))

    // Return success
    w.WriteHeader(http.StatusOK)
    json.NewEncoder(w).Encode(map[string]string{
        "message": "Message sent successfully",
    })
}
```

### 7. HTML Form Template
```html
<!-- Contact Form with Security Controls -->
<form hx-post="/api/contact"
      hx-trigger="submit"
      hx-target="#contact-result"
      _="on htmx:afterRequest
         if event.detail.successful
           reset() me
         end">

    <!-- CSRF Token (hidden) -->
    <input type="hidden" name="csrf_token" value="{{.CSRFToken}}">

    <!-- Timestamp (for timing validation) -->
    <input type="hidden" name="timestamp" value="" id="form-timestamp">

    <!-- Honeypot field (hidden from real users, bots will fill it) -->
    <input type="text"
           name="website"
           id="website"
           style="position:absolute;left:-9999px;"
           tabindex="-1"
           autocomplete="off">

    <!-- Real fields -->

               required
               maxlength="100"
               pattern="[a-zA-Z\s'-]+"
               title="Name can only contain letters, spaces, hyphens, and apostrophes">

               required
               maxlength="254"
               pattern="[a-zA-Z0-9._%+\-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.\-]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,}"
               title="Please enter a valid email address">

## Security Logging Implementation

### Structured Security Logger
```go
package middleware

import (
    "encoding/json"
    "log"
    "net/http"
    "time"
)

type SecurityEvent struct {
    Timestamp  time.Time `json:"timestamp"`
    EventType  string    `json:"event_type"`
    Severity   string    `json:"severity"`
    IP         string    `json:"ip"`
    UserAgent  string    `json:"user_agent"`
    Method     string    `json:"method"`
    Path       string    `json:"path"`
    Details    string    `json:"details"`
}

// LogSecurityEvent logs security-related events in structured format
func LogSecurityEvent(eventType string, r *http.Request, details string) {
    severity := getSeverity(eventType)

    event := SecurityEvent{
        Timestamp:  time.Now(),
        EventType:  eventType,
        Severity:   severity,
        IP:         getClientIP(r),
        UserAgent:  r.Header.Get("User-Agent"),
        Method:     r.Method,
        Path:       r.URL.Path,
        Details:    details,
    }

    // JSON format for easy parsing by SIEM systems
    eventJSON, _ := json.Marshal(event)
    log.Printf("[SECURITY] %s", eventJSON)

    // Also log to separate security log file in production
    if os.Getenv("GO_ENV") == "production" {
        logToSecurityFile(eventJSON)
    }
}

func getSeverity(eventType string) string {
    switch eventType {
    case "BLOCKED", "CSRF_VIOLATION", "ORIGIN_VIOLATION":
        return "HIGH"
    case "RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED", "VALIDATION_FAILED":
        return "MEDIUM"
    case "CONTACT_FORM_SENT", "PDF_GENERATED":
        return "INFO"
    default:
        return "LOW"
    }
}

func getClientIP(r *http.Request) string {
    // Check X-Forwarded-For header (proxy/load balancer)
    if xff := r.Header.Get("X-Forwarded-For"); xff != "" {
        return strings.Split(xff, ",")[0]
    }

    // Check X-Real-IP header
    if xri := r.Header.Get("X-Real-IP"); xri != "" {
        return xri
    }

    // Fallback to RemoteAddr
    return strings.Split(r.RemoteAddr, ":")[0]
}

func logToSecurityFile(eventJSON []byte) {
    // Append to /var/log/cv-security.log in production
    f, err := os.OpenFile("/var/log/cv-security.log",
        os.O_APPEND|os.O_CREATE|os.O_WRONLY, 0644)
    if err != nil {
        log.Printf("Failed to open security log: %v", err)
        return
    }
    defer f.Close()

    f.Write(eventJSON)
    f.WriteString("\n")
}
```

### Enhanced Rate Limiter with Logging
```go
func (rl *RateLimiter) Middleware(next http.Handler) http.Handler {
    return http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
        ip := getClientIP(r)

        if !rl.allow(ip) {
            // Log rate limit violation
            LogSecurityEvent("RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED", r,
                fmt.Sprintf("IP: %s, Limit: %d/%v", ip, rl.limit, rl.window))

            w.Header().Set("Retry-After", "60")
            http.Error(w, "Rate limit exceeded. Please try again later.",
                http.StatusTooManyRequests)
            return
        }

        next.ServeHTTP(w, r)
    })
}
```

### Enhanced Origin Checker with Logging
```go
func OriginChecker(next http.Handler) http.Handler {
    return http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
        origin := r.Header.Get("Origin")
        referer := r.Header.Get("Referer")

        // ... existing validation logic ...

        if origin != "" && !isAllowedOrigin(origin, allowedOrigins) {
            LogSecurityEvent("ORIGIN_VIOLATION", r,
                fmt.Sprintf("Blocked origin: %s", origin))
            http.Error(w, "Forbidden: External access not allowed",
                http.StatusForbidden)
            return
        }

        // ... rest of validation ...
    })
}
```

---

## Security Headers Enhancement

### Additional Headers to Add
```go
func SecurityHeaders(next http.Handler) http.Handler {
    return http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
        // Existing headers (keep all current headers)
        w.Header().Set("X-Frame-Options", "SAMEORIGIN")
        w.Header().Set("X-Content-Type-Options", "nosniff")
        w.Header().Set("X-XSS-Protection", "1; mode=block")
        w.Header().Set("Referrer-Policy", "strict-origin-when-cross-origin")
        w.Header().Set("Permissions-Policy", "...")
        w.Header().Set("Content-Security-Policy", "...")

        // NEW: Additional security headers

        // Prevent Adobe Flash/PDF from loading external content
        w.Header().Set("X-Permitted-Cross-Domain-Policies", "none")

        // Cross-Origin isolation
        w.Header().Set("Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy", "same-origin")
        w.Header().Set("Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy", "require-corp")
        w.Header().Set("Cross-Origin-Resource-Policy", "same-origin")

        // Prevent DNS prefetching of external domains
        w.Header().Set("X-DNS-Prefetch-Control", "off")

        // HSTS (production only) - already implemented ✅
        if os.Getenv("GO_ENV") == "production" {
            w.Header().Set("Strict-Transport-Security",
                "max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload")
        }

        next.ServeHTTP(w, r)
    })
}
```

## Compliance Considerations

### GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation)
- ✅ No personal data collection (current state)
- ⚠️ Contact form will collect: name, email, company, message
  - **Requirement:** Privacy policy page
  - **Requirement:** Cookie consent banner (if tracking)
  - **Requirement:** Data retention policy
  - **Requirement:** Right to deletion (email-based request)

### WCAG 2.1 AA (Accessibility)
- ✅ Semantic HTML structure
- ✅ Keyboard navigation support
- ⚠️ Contact form should have proper labels and ARIA attributes

### Browser Security
- ✅ CSP prevents XSS
- ✅ HTTPS enforced (HSTS)
- ✅ Cookies with Secure, HttpOnly, SameSite flags

---

## Penetration Testing Guide

### Manual Testing Checklist

#### 1. XSS Testing
```bash
# Test name field
curl -X POST https://juan.andres.morenorub.io/api/contact \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name":"<script>alert(1)</script>","email":"test@test.com"}'

# Expected: Rejected or escaped

# Test message field
curl -X POST https://juan.andres.morenorub.io/api/contact \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"message":"<img src=x onerror=alert(1)>"}'

# Expected: HTML tags stripped
```

#### 2. Email Header Injection
```bash
# Attempt to inject BCC header
curl -X POST https://juan.andres.morenorub.io/api/contact \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name":"Test\r\nBcc: attacker@evil.com","email":"test@test.com"}'

# Expected: Rejected (newlines stripped)

# Attempt to inject additional headers
curl -X POST https://juan.andres.morenorub.io/api/contact \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"subject":"Test\nContent-Type: text/html","email":"test@test.com"}'

# Expected: Rejected
```

#### 3. Rate Limiting
```bash
# Test contact form rate limit (should allow 5/hour)
for i in {1..6}; do
  curl -X POST https://juan.andres.morenorub.io/api/contact \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{"name":"Test","email":"test@test.com","message":"Test"}' &
done
wait

# Expected: 6th request returns 429 Too Many Requests

# Test PDF rate limit (should allow 3/minute)
for i in {1..4}; do
  curl "https://juan.andres.morenorub.io/export/pdf?lang=en" -o /dev/null &
done
wait

# Expected: 4th request returns 429
```

#### 4. Origin Validation
```bash
# Test contact form from curl (should be blocked)
curl -X POST https://juan.andres.morenorub.io/api/contact \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name":"Test","email":"test@test.com"}'

# Expected: 403 Forbidden

# Test with fake Origin header
curl -X POST https://juan.andres.morenorub.io/api/contact \
  -H "Origin: https://evil.com" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name":"Test","email":"test@test.com"}'

# Expected: 403 Forbidden

# Test PDF endpoint from curl
curl "https://juan.andres.morenorub.io/export/pdf?lang=en"

# Expected: 403 Forbidden (in production)
```

#### 5. CSRF Testing
```bash
# Attempt CSRF attack without token
curl -X POST https://juan.andres.morenorub.io/api/contact \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Cookie: session=valid_session" \
  -d '{"name":"Test","email":"test@test.com"}'

# Expected: 403 Forbidden (missing CSRF token)

# Attempt with invalid token
curl -X POST https://juan.andres.morenorub.io/api/contact \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Cookie: csrf_token=valid_token" \
  -d '{"csrf_token":"invalid_token","name":"Test","email":"test@test.com"}'

# Expected: 403 Forbidden (token mismatch)
```

#### 6. SQL Injection (Should be N/A)
```bash
# No database, but test input sanitization
curl -X POST https://juan.andres.morenorub.io/api/contact \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name":"Robert\"; DROP TABLE users; --","email":"test@test.com"}'

# Expected: Rejected or escaped (no SQL execution anyway)
```

### Automated Scanning Tools

```bash
# OWASP ZAP (Zed Attack Proxy)
docker run -t owasp/zap2docker-stable zap-baseline.py \
  -t https://juan.andres.morenorub.io

# Nikto web scanner
nikto -h https://juan.andres.morenorub.io

# SSL/TLS testing
testssl.sh --severity HIGH https://juan.andres.morenorub.io

# Security headers check
curl -I https://juan.andres.morenorub.io | grep -E "(X-|Content-Security|Strict-Transport)"

# CSP validator
https://csp-evaluator.withgoogle.com/
```

## Security Metrics & Monitoring

### Key Metrics to Track
1. **Rate limit violations** - Track IPs hitting rate limits
2. **Origin validation failures** - Detect hotlinking attempts
3. **CSRF validation failures** - Potential attack indicators
4. **Failed form submissions** - Bot detection effectiveness
5. **PDF generation errors** - Potential DoS attempts
6. **Suspicious user agents** - Bot/scraper activity

### Monitoring Setup
```bash
# Security log monitoring (production)
tail -f /var/log/cv-security.log | jq 'select(.severity == "HIGH")'

# Real-time rate limit violations
grep "RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED" /var/log/cv-security.log | tail -n 20

# Geographic distribution of blocked requests
grep "BLOCKED" /var/log/cv-security.log | jq -r '.ip' | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn

# Top blocked user agents
grep "BLOCKED" /var/log/cv-security.log | jq -r '.user_agent' | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn
```

### Alerting Rules (for Prometheus/Grafana)
```yaml
# Alert on high rate limit violations
- alert: HighRateLimitViolations
  expr: rate(cv_rate_limit_violations_total[5m]) > 10
  for: 5m
  labels:
    severity: warning
  annotations:
    summary: "High rate limit violations detected"

# Alert on CSRF attacks
- alert: CSRFAttackDetected
  expr: increase(cv_csrf_violations_total[1h]) > 5
  for: 1m
  labels:
    severity: critical
  annotations:
    summary: "CSRF attack detected"

# Alert on origin validation failures
- alert: HotlinkingAttempt
  expr: rate(cv_origin_violations_total[5m]) > 5
  for: 5m
  labels:
    severity: medium
  annotations:
    summary: "Potential hotlinking attack detected"
```

---

## Incident Response Playbook

### 1. Rate Limit Attack (DoS)
**Indicators:**
- Spike in 429 responses
- Single IP hitting rate limits repeatedly

**Response:**
1. Identify attacking IP: `grep "RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED" /var/log/cv-security.log | tail -n 100`
2. Ban IP with fail2ban: `sudo fail2ban-client set cv-app banip <IP>`
3. Review logs for patterns
4. Consider lowering rate limits temporarily

### 2. CSRF Attack
**Indicators:**
- Multiple CSRF validation failures
- Attempts from different IPs with same pattern

**Response:**
1. Rotate CSRF secret
2. Review user sessions
3. Check for XSS vulnerability that could steal tokens
4. Increase logging verbosity

### 3. Email Header Injection Attempt
**Indicators:**
- Contact form submissions with newlines in headers
- Failed validation for email fields

**Response:**
1. Verify sanitization is working
2. Check email logs for suspicious sends
3. Review all contact form submissions from that IP
4. Ban IP if repeated attempts

### 4. Brute Force Attack
**Indicators:**
- Repeated failed requests from same IP
- Multiple POST requests in short time

**Response:**
1. Verify rate limiting is active
2. Ban IP with fail2ban
3. Review user agents (might be bot network)
4. Consider CAPTCHA if persistent

---

## Security Testing Schedule

### Daily
- ✅ Review security logs for anomalies
- ✅ Check fail2ban banned IPs

### Weekly

## Summary of Required Actions

### CRITICAL (Implement before contact form goes live)
1. ✅ **Origin Validation for Contact Form** - Browser-only access
2. ✅ **CSRF Token System** - Generate, validate, rotate
3. ✅ **Input Validation** - Email, name, subject, message sanitization
4. ✅ **Email Header Injection Prevention** - Strip newlines, validate headers
5. ✅ **Rate Limiting** - 5 requests/hour for contact endpoint
6. ✅ **Bot Protection** - Honeypot + timing validation
7. ✅ **Security Logging** - Track all security events

### HIGH PRIORITY
1. ⚠️ Add SRI hashes for Hyperscript and Iconify
2. ⚠️ Implement structured security logging
3. ⚠️ Set up fail2ban for repeated attacks
4. ⚠️ Configure Nginx with security headers and rate limits

### MEDIUM PRIORITY
1. ⚠️ Add additional security headers (X-Permitted-Cross-Domain-Policies, etc.)
2. ⚠️ Implement automated dependency scanning
3. ⚠️ Set up security monitoring dashboard
4. ⚠️ Create privacy policy for GDPR compliance

### LOW PRIORITY (Nice to have)
1. ℹ️ CSP nonce-based script loading (instead of 'unsafe-inline')
2. ℹ️ Security bug bounty program
3. ℹ️ Penetration testing by third party
4. ℹ️ SOC 2 Type II compliance (if needed for clients)
