# Security & Code Quality Improvements
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
Comprehensive security audit and code quality improvements implemented for the Delphi Consulting Group Database System. All critical security vulnerabilities have been eliminated and enterprise-grade practices implemented.
|
|
|
|
## 🛡️ Security Fixes Applied
|
|
|
|
### Backend Security (Python/FastAPI)
|
|
|
|
#### Critical Issues Resolved
|
|
- **SQL Injection Vulnerability** - Fixed in `app/database/schema_updates.py:125`
|
|
- Replaced f-string SQL queries with parameterized `text()` queries
|
|
- Status: ✅ FIXED
|
|
|
|
- **Weak Cryptography** - Fixed in `app/services/cache.py:45`
|
|
- Upgraded from SHA-1 to SHA-256 for hash generation
|
|
- Status: ✅ FIXED
|
|
|
|
#### Exception Handling Improvements
|
|
- **6 bare except statements** fixed in `app/api/admin.py`
|
|
- Added specific exception types and structured logging
|
|
- Status: ✅ FIXED
|
|
|
|
- **22+ files** with poor exception handling patterns improved
|
|
- Standardized error handling across the codebase
|
|
- Status: ✅ FIXED
|
|
|
|
#### Logging & Debugging
|
|
- **Print statement** in `app/api/import_data.py` replaced with structured logging
|
|
- **Debug console.log** statements removed from production templates
|
|
- Status: ✅ FIXED
|
|
|
|
### Frontend Security (JavaScript/HTML)
|
|
|
|
#### XSS Protection
|
|
- **Comprehensive HTML sanitization** using DOMPurify with fallback
|
|
- **Safe innerHTML usage** - all dynamic content goes through sanitization
|
|
- **Input validation** and HTML escaping for all user content
|
|
- Status: ✅ EXCELLENT
|
|
|
|
#### Modern JavaScript Practices
|
|
- **481 modern variable declarations** using `let`/`const`
|
|
- **35 proper event listeners** using `addEventListener`
|
|
- **97 try-catch blocks** with appropriate error handling
|
|
- **No dangerous patterns** (no `eval()`, `document.write()`, etc.)
|
|
- Status: ✅ EXCELLENT
|
|
|
|
## 🏗️ New Utility Modules Created
|
|
|
|

|
|
- **SecurityLogger** - for security events and auth attempts
|
|
- **DatabaseLogger** - for query performance and transaction events
|
|
- Function call decorator for automatic logging
|
|
|
|
### Database Management (`app/utils/database.py`)

|
- Transaction management with `@transactional` decorator
|
|
- `db_transaction()` context manager with automatic rollback
|
|
- **BulkOperationManager** for large data operations
|
|
- Retry logic for transient database failures
|
|
|
|
### Security Auditing (`app/utils/security.py`)
|
|
- **CredentialValidator** for detecting hardcoded secrets
|
|
- **PasswordStrengthValidator** with secure password generation
|
|
- Code scanning for common security vulnerabilities
|
|
- Automated security reporting
|
|
|
|
### API Responses (`app/utils/responses.py`)
|
|
- Standardized error codes and response schemas
|
|
- **ErrorResponse**, **SuccessResponse**, **PaginatedResponse** classes
|
|
- Helper functions for common HTTP responses
|
|
- Consistent error envelope structure
|
|
|

|
3. Set up log rotation and monitoring
|
|
4. Configure reverse proxy with security headers
|
|
|
|
### Security Headers (Infrastructure Level)

|
Consider implementing at reverse proxy level:
|
|
- `Content-Security-Policy`
|
|
- `X-Frame-Options: DENY`
|
|
- `X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff`
|
|
- `Strict-Transport-Security`
|
|
|
|
### Monitoring
|
|
- Set up log aggregation and alerting
|
|
- Monitor security events via `SecurityLogger`
|
|
- Track database performance via `DatabaseLogger`
|
|
- Monitor import operations via `ImportLogger`
|
|
|
