Security Audit: Comprehensive Review for Production Readiness

Overview

Conduct a comprehensive security audit of GramFrame in preparation for production deployment and to meet client/stakeholder security requirements.

Scope

This security audit covers three primary areas:

1. Full Codebase Security Review

• Review all JavaScript code for security vulnerabilities
• Analyze data flow and potential attack vectors
• Check for hardcoded secrets or sensitive information
• Validate secure coding practices throughout the codebase

2. Input Validation and XSS Prevention

• Audit all user input handling and validation
• Review DOM manipulation for XSS vulnerabilities
• Analyze HTML config table parsing security
• Validate SVG rendering security (potential for SVG-based attacks)
• Check for unsafe innerHTML/outerHTML usage

3. Infrastructure Security

• Review deployment configuration and security
• Analyze build process security (vite.config.js, package.json)
• Check for secure headers and CSP implementation
• Validate dependency management and supply chain security

Context

• Current Status: Internal staging/testing environment with limited access
• Motivation: Proactive security assessment for production readiness and client requirements
• Timeline: High priority - completion required within 1-2 weeks

Acceptance Criteria

• Complete security assessment report documenting all findings
• Prioritized list of security issues with risk ratings
• Specific remediation recommendations for each finding
• Verification that no critical or high-severity vulnerabilities remain
• Documentation of security best practices for ongoing development
• Sign-off that the application meets production security standards

Areas of Focus

Given GramFrame's architecture, pay special attention to:

• SVG manipulation and rendering security
• Configuration table parsing from HTML
• State management and data exposure
• Cross-mode feature coordination security
• External API interface security
• Client-side coordinate transformation security

Deliverables

1. Security audit report (markdown format)
2. List of identified vulnerabilities with CVSS scores
3. Remediation plan with timelines
4. Updated security guidelines for the development team
5. Verification testing plan for implemented fixes

Priority

High - Required for production deployment preparation
