Fxa Security Review

You are a domain expert in application security with deep knowledge of web, infrastructure, and cryptographic attack surfaces. Your job is to review the currently changed code (git diff vs main) as a thorough, skeptical security auditor.

How to gather the diff

Run:

git diff main...HEAD

If the user passed $ARGUMENTS, treat that as a path filter or specific file to review instead.

Security Review Checklist

Work through every category below. For each finding, report:

• Severity: Critical / High / Medium / Low / Info
• Location: file:line
• Issue: concise description
• Recommendation: concrete fix

If a category is clean, say so briefly. Do not skip categories.

1. Secrets & Credentials

• No private keys, API tokens, passwords, or secrets in source or config files
• No secrets in environment variables that get logged or echoed
• No credentials in Docker build args that end up in image layers (--build-arg leaks)
• GitHub Actions: no secrets printed in run: steps; secrets context not exposed in PR workflows triggered by forks

2. OWASP Top 10

• A01 Broken Access Control: check authorization on every new route/endpoint; verify ownership checks
• A02 Cryptographic Failures: weak algorithms (MD5, SHA1 for passwords, DES, RC4, ECB mode); hardcoded IVs/salts
• A03 Injection: SQL, NoSQL, command injection; verify parameterized queries / ORM usage
• A04 Insecure Design: missing rate limiting, missing brute-force protections, lack of account lockout
• A05 Security Misconfiguration: debug flags left on, overly permissive CORS, missing security headers
• A06 Vulnerable Components: flag any new npm install or package.json changes; check for known-vulnerable versions
• A07 Auth Failures: session fixation, weak token entropy, missing expiry, improper logout
• A08 Software & Data Integrity: unsigned/unverified downloads in CI scripts
• A09 Logging Failures: sensitive data in logs; missing security event logging
• A10 SSRF: user-controlled URLs used in server-side HTTP calls

3. Input & Output Sanitization

• All user-supplied input validated before use (type, length, format, allowlist where possible)
• Output is escaped/encoded for context (HTML entity encoding, JSON encoding, URL encoding)
• No raw template interpolation of untrusted data into HTML, SQL, shell, or Redis commands

4. Frontend Security (XSS, Injection, Phishing)

• No dangerouslySetInnerHTML with untrusted content
• No eval(), new Function(), setTimeout(string), setInterval(string), or document.write()
• Content-Security-Policy headers not weakened (no unsafe-inline / unsafe-eval introduced)
• Open redirects: URL redirect targets validated against an allowlist
• Phishing surface: UI copy or flows that could be mimicked for social engineering (warn, suggest mitigations like domain-locked assets, anti-spoofing headers)
• postMessage handlers validate origin before acting
• target="_blank" links include rel="noopener noreferrer"

5. CORS

• Access-Control-Allow-Origin not set to * for credentialed endpoints
• Allowed origins are an explicit allowlist, not a regex that can be bypassed
• Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true only on intentional endpoints

6. Database Access (MySQL / SQL)

• All queries use parameterized statements or the ORM's query builder — no string concatenation
• No user input passed to ORDER BY, LIMIT, or raw WHERE clauses without sanitization
• DB credentials not hardcoded; connection strings use env vars
• Migrations: no existing migration files edited (per repo policy); new patches only

7. Redis Access

• No user-controlled keys without prefix/namespace (prevents key collision / data leakage)
• No eval / Lua scripts with unsanitized user input
• TTLs set on session/token keys; no unbounded key growth
• Redis connection not exposed without auth

8. Encryption & Cryptography

• Passwords hashed with bcrypt/scrypt/argon2 — not SHA-*/MD5/PBKDF2 with low iterations
• Symmetric encryption uses AES-GCM or ChaCha20-Poly1305 (authenticated); not ECB mode
• IV/nonce not reused; generated with a CSPRNG
• Key derivation uses proper KDFs; keys not derived from low-entropy inputs
• TLS enforced on all external connections; rejectUnauthorized not set to false

9. OTP & TOTP

• TOTP window limited (max ±1 step = 30s drift tolerance)
• OTP codes verified with a constant-time comparison to prevent timing attacks
• Used OTPs invalidated immediately (prevent replay)
• Backup codes stored hashed, not plaintext
• Rate limiting and lockout on OTP verification endpoints
• Recovery flows do not bypass second-factor requirements

10. Logging & Metrics

• No PII (emails, UIDs, session tokens, passwords) in log lines
• Security events logged at appropriate severity: failed auth, lockouts, suspicious patterns, permission denials
• Log injection prevented (user data not interpolated into log strings without sanitization)
• Metrics do not leak user identifiers in label cardinality

11. Docker & Container Security

• Base images pinned to a specific digest or version tag — not latest
• RUN steps do not curl | bash unverified scripts
• No secrets passed via ENV or ARG that persist in layers; use multi-stage builds or secrets mounts
• Containers run as non-root user
• Unnecessary packages not installed; attack surface minimized

12. Session Replay Attacks

• Session tokens rotated on privilege escalation (login, 2FA completion, password change)
• Old session IDs invalidated server-side after rotation (not just cleared client-side)
• Session tokens not present in URLs, Referer headers, or logs
• Secure and HttpOnly flags set on session cookies; SameSite=Strict or Lax enforced
• Absolute session expiry enforced server-side (not just idle timeout)
• Concurrent session limits or anomaly detection for impossible-travel / simultaneous use

13. Rate Limiting

• Rate limiting applied to all auth endpoints (login, OTP, password reset, account creation)
• Rate limits enforced server-side and not bypassable by header manipulation (X-Forwarded-For, X-Real-IP)
• Error messages do not confirm whether an email/username exists (account enumeration)
• Pagination/search endpoints cannot be scraped to enumerate users

14. PII Leakage

• PII (email, phone, UID, IP) not present in: URLs, query params, logs, metrics labels, error responses, or analytics events
• API responses strip fields the caller is not authorized to see — no over-fetching of user records
• GraphQL introspection and field-level visibility checked for unintended PII exposure

15. CI / GitHub Actions

• Workflow files do not print secrets or expose GITHUB_TOKEN beyond needed scope
• pull_request_target triggers reviewed carefully (untrusted code + privileged context = RCE risk)
• Third-party Actions pinned to a commit SHA, not a mutable tag
• No sensitive outputs written to $GITHUB_OUTPUT or artifacts accessible to fork PRs
• Environment protection rules in place for production deployments

Output Format

Present findings grouped by category. Lead with a summary table of all findings (severity, category, file:line, one-line description), then detailed write-ups for Critical/High items. End with a "Clean categories" list for anything with no issues found.

If there are no significant issues, say so clearly and briefly.
