This document outlines the comprehensive security measures implemented in the Subnet Scout project to protect against common vulnerabilities and ensure secure operation in production environments.

• SQL Injection Protection: Parameterized queries with input validation
• XSS Prevention: React's built-in protection + input sanitization
• Comprehensive Input Validation: All API endpoints validate inputs
• Request Size Limits: 1MB limit on request bodies

• JWT Token Authentication: Privy-based authentication system
• Role-Based Access Control: Admin and user roles
• API Key Authentication: Optional API key auth for external access
• Session Management: Secure session handling with expiration

• CSRF Tokens: All state-changing operations protected
• Secure Cookies: HttpOnly, Secure, SameSite settings
• Token Validation: Server-side token verification

• HTTPS Enforcement: Automatic HTTP to HTTPS redirects in production
• HSTS Headers: HTTP Strict Transport Security
• Secure Cookies: HTTPS-only cookie transmission
• TLS Configuration: Modern TLS versions only

• Helmet.js: Comprehensive security headers
• Content Security Policy: Strict CSP directives
• X-Frame-Options: Clickjacking protection
• X-Content-Type-Options: MIME type sniffing prevention
• Referrer Policy: Strict referrer handling

• General API Limits: 100 requests per minute
• Compute-Intensive Limits: 20 requests per 5 minutes
• IP-Based Tracking: Per-IP rate limiting
• Security Event Logging: Rate limit violations logged

• Security Event Tracking: All security events logged
• Structured Logging: Winston-based logging system
• Health Monitoring: Comprehensive health checks
• Error Handling: Secure error responses without info disclosure

1. Automated Monitoring: Security events trigger alerts
2. Log Analysis: Regular review of security logs
3. Health Checks: Continuous monitoring of system health
4. External Reports: Vulnerability disclosure process

1. Immediate Assessment: Evaluate severity and impact
2. Containment: Isolate affected systems
3. Investigation: Determine root cause and scope
4. Remediation: Apply fixes and patches
5. Recovery: Restore normal operations
6. Post-Incident: Review and improve processes

• Review security logs for anomalies
• Monitor system health and performance
• Check for security alerts from monitoring systems

• Review and rotate API keys if needed
• Update dependencies with security patches
• Analyze security event trends

• Conduct security audit of access controls
• Review and update security documentation
• Test backup and recovery procedures
• Update security scanning rules

• Comprehensive penetration testing
• Security architecture review
• Update incident response procedures
• Security training for team members
