# Security Considerations
|
|
|
|
## Current Security Status
|
|
|
|
### Known Issues
|
|
The application currently shows some npm security warnings during build. These are primarily related to:
|
|
|
|
1. **Development Dependencies**: Most vulnerabilities are in dev/build tools, not runtime dependencies
|
|
2. **Transitive Dependencies**: Some warnings come from nested dependencies in React ecosystem
|
|
3. **Deprecated Packages**: Some packages have newer alternatives but are still functional
|
|
|
|
### Risk Assessment
|
|
- **Runtime Risk**: LOW - vulnerabilities are mostly in build tools
|
|
- **Production Impact**: MINIMAL - app runs in containerized environment
|
|
- **Data Security**: SECURE - database isolated, HTTPS enforced
|
|
|
|
### Mitigation Strategies
|
|
|
|
#### Immediate (Already Implemented)
|
|
- ✅ Database isolated on internal Docker network
|
|
- ✅ HTTPS/TLS enforced via Traefik
|
|
- ✅ JWT token-based authentication
|
|
- ✅ Input validation and sanitization
|
|
- ✅ Rate limiting on API endpoints
|
|
- ✅ Security headers (CSP, HSTS, etc.)
|
|
|
|
#### Ongoing Maintenance
|
|
- 🔄 Regular dependency updates
|
|
- 🔄 Security audit monitoring
|
|
- 🔄 Container image updates
|
|
|
|
## Production Deployment Security
|
|
|
|
### Required Actions
|
|
1. **Generate Secure JWT Secret**:
|
|
```bash
|
|
openssl rand -base64 64
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. **Use Strong Database Password**:
|
|
```bash
|
|
openssl rand -base64 32
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. **Environment Security**:
|
|
- Never commit `.env` files
|
|
- Use Docker secrets in production
|
|
- Rotate secrets regularly
|
|
|
|
### Monitoring
|
|
- Monitor application logs
|
|
- Set up security alerts for failed authentication attempts
|
|
- Regular security updates for base Docker images
|
|
|
|
## Reporting Security Issues
|
|
|
|
If you discover a security vulnerability, please:
|
|
|
|
1. **Do not** open a public issue
|
|
2. Email security concerns privately
|
|
3. Provide detailed reproduction steps
|
|
4. Allow time for investigation and patching
|
|
|
|
## Security Updates
|
|
|
|
This application follows semantic versioning with security patches:
|
|
- **Patch releases** (x.x.X): Security fixes, safe to update immediately
|
|
- **Minor releases** (x.X.x): New features, review before updating
|
|
- **Major releases** (X.x.x): Breaking changes, test thoroughly
|
|
|
|
## Best Practices
|
|
|
|
### For Administrators
|
|
- Keep base system updated
|
|
- Monitor Docker security advisories
|
|
- Use fail2ban for SSH protection
|
|
- Regular backup testing
|
|
|
|
### For Users
|
|
- Use strong passwords
|
|
- Enable 2FA when available
|
|
- Report suspicious activity
|
|
- Keep browsers updated
