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:

// 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:

✅ 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's html/template automatically escapes all variables
{{.CV.Personal.Name}}  // Auto-escaped
{{.CV.Personal.Email}} // Auto-escaped

SafeHTML Usage - CONTROLLED:

// 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:

// Uses pure Go library, NO shell commands
repo, err := git.PlainOpen(repoPath)
// Instead of: exec.Command("git", "log", repoPath)

Security Tests:

✅ 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:

// 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):

// Strong CSP policy
Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self';
  script-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline' 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.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:

// index.html - Using CDN with SRI
htmx 2.0.10 (self-hosted at /static/htmx/htmx.min.js)
hyperscript 0.9.91 (self-hosted at /static/hyperscript/_hyperscript.min.js)
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:

<!-- HTMX and Hyperscript are now self-hosted (no SRI needed) -->
<script src="/static/htmx/htmx.min.js"></script>
<script src="/static/hyperscript/_hyperscript.min.js"></script>
        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:

// 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:

// 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.

---

• 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)

// 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

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)

// 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

// 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

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

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

<!-- Contact Form with Security Controls -->
<form hx-post="/api/contact"
      hx-trigger="submit"
      hx-target="#contact-result"
      _="on htmx:afterRequest

Security Logging Implementation

Structured Security Logger

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

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) {

                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

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

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

# 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

# Attempt to inject BCC header
curl -X POST https://juan.andres.morenorub.io/api/contact \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \

# 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

# 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

# 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"}'

# 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)

# 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

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

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

# 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)

# 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

• ✅ Run govulncheck for dependency vulnerabilities
• ✅ Review rate limit violations
• ✅ Check SSL certificate expiry

Monthly

• ✅ Update Go dependencies
• ✅ Run full OWASP ZAP scan
• ✅ Review and rotate logs
• ✅ Test backup/restore procedures

Quarterly

• ✅ Full penetration test (manual + automated)
• ✅ Security audit review
• ✅ Update security policies
• ✅ Review and update rate limits based on traffic

---

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)

Conclusion

The CV application demonstrates strong security fundamentals with proper XSS prevention, command injection mitigation, and comprehensive security headers. The main areas requiring attention are:

1. CSRF protection for POST endpoints (low risk, but should implement)
2. Security logging for attack detection and incident response
3. Contact form security (when implemented) with strict validation and origin checks

Overall Security Rating: B+ (GOOD)

With the recommended improvements, the application can achieve an A+ security rating.

Next Steps:

1. Review this report with the development team
2. Implement contact form with security controls (see design above)
3. Add CSRF protection to existing POST endpoints
4. Set up security logging and monitoring
5. Test all security controls with penetration testing tools
6. Deploy to production with Nginx security configuration
7. Monitor security logs and iterate on defenses

Security is a continuous process, not a destination. Regular audits, updates, and monitoring are essential.
