SECURITY.md

Security integrated in the Full-Stack web Application "bookingform"

🔒 Security Overview

This project implements comprehensive security measures including static analysis, dependency scanning, and automated CI/CD security checks.

🛡️ Security Measures Implemented

1. Static Code Analysis

  • ESLint Security Plugin - Detects common JavaScript vulnerabilities
  • CodeQL - GitHub's advanced security scanning
  • Brakeman - Rails security scanner (backend)

2. Dependency Management

  • npm audit - Scans npm packages for known vulnerabilities
  • bundle-audit - Scans Ruby gems for vulnerabilities
  • Dependabot - Automated dependency updates

3. CI/CD Security Pipeline

  • Automated security checks on every commit
  • Pull request security reviews
  • Scheduled weekly scans

📊 Security Rules

ESLint Security Rules

Rule Severity Description
security/detect-object-injection Warning Prevents object injection attacks
security/detect-unsafe-regex Error Detects ReDoS vulnerabilities
security/detect-eval-with-expression Error Prevents eval() usage
security/detect-possible-timing-attacks Warning Detects timing attack vectors
no-eval Error Blocks dynamic code execution
eqeqeq Error Enforces strict equality

🔄 Security Update Process

  1. Report Received - We acknowledge within 48 hours
  2. Assessment - We evaluate severity and impact
  3. Fix Development - We develop and test the fix
  4. Release - We deploy the fix (critical issues < 7 days)
  5. Disclosure - We publish security advisory after fix

📋 Security Checklist for Contributors

Before submitting a PR, ensure:

  • npm run lint passes without security warnings
  • npm audit shows no vulnerabilities
  • No sensitive data (API keys, passwords) in code
  • Input validation is implemented
  • CORS settings are properly configured
  • SQL queries use parameterized statements
  • XSS protection is in place
  • CSRF tokens are used for forms
  • Authentication/authorization is properly implemented
  • Error messages don't leak sensitive information

🔐 Secure Development Practices

Frontend (React)

// ✅ Good - Use parameterized inputs
<input value={formData.name} onChange={handleChange} />

// ❌ Bad - Dangerous HTML injection
<div dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{__html: userInput}} />

// ✅ Good - Validate and sanitize input
const sanitizedInput = DOMPurify.sanitize(userInput);

// ❌ Bad - Direct eval usage
eval(userCode);

Backend (Rails)

# ✅ Good - Parameterized queries
User.where("email = ?", params[:email])

# ❌ Bad - SQL injection vulnerable
User.where("email = '#{params[:email]}'")

# ✅ Good - Strong parameters
params.require(:booking).permit(:name, :email)

# ❌ Bad - Mass assignment vulnerability
Booking.create(params[:booking])

🚨 Known Security Measures

Current Protections

  1. XSS Prevention

    • React automatically escapes JSX
    • Content Security Policy headers
    • Input sanitization

  2. CSRF Protection

    • Rails authenticity tokens
    • SameSite cookie attributes

  3. SQL Injection Prevention

    • ActiveRecord parameterized queries
    • Input validation

  4. Authentication

    • Secure password hashing
    • Session management
    • Token-based authentication

  5. Rate Limiting

    • API rate limiting
    • Failed login attempt throttling
