🆕 Phase 2 Security Enhancements (February 2026)

API Key System

Status: ✅ IMPLEMENTED

Features:

✅ Secure key generation: pk_live_<32-char-random-hex>
✅ SHA-256 hashing before database storage (key never stored in plain text)
✅ Key prefix stored for display without exposing full key
✅ Per-user key management (generate, list, revoke)
✅ Scoped to user's organization
✅ Last usage tracking for audit visibility

Implementation:

// apps/producer-service/src/utils/apiKeys.ts
export function generateApiKey(): IGeneratedKey {
    const randomPart = crypto.randomBytes(24).toString('hex');
    const fullKey = `pk_live_${randomPart}`;
    const hash = crypto.createHash('sha256').update(fullKey).digest('hex');
    return { fullKey, hash, prefix: fullKey.substring(0, 12) + '...' };
}

Redis-Based Rate Limiting

Status: ✅ IMPLEMENTED (Upgraded from in-memory)

Features:

✅ Per-organization rate limiting (prevents noisy neighbor problem)
✅ Per-IP rate limiting for unauthenticated endpoints
✅ Tiered limits: Auth (5/min), API (100/min), Admin (10/min)
✅ Distributed rate limiting works across multiple instances
✅ Rate limit headers in responses (X-RateLimit-*)

Implementation:

// apps/producer-service/src/middleware/rateLimiter.ts
const count = await redis.incr(`rl:${tier}:${key}`);
if (count === 1) await redis.expire(`rl:${tier}:${key}`, windowSeconds);
if (count > maxRequests) return reply.code(429).send({ error: 'Rate limit exceeded' });

Auth Middleware Public Routes Fix

Status: ✅ FIXED

Issue: Auth middleware was being applied to routes that should be public.

Solution:

✅ Explicitly defined public routes list
✅ Auth middleware now supports dual authentication: JWT Bearer OR x-api-key header
✅ Public routes: /api/auth/signup, /api/auth/login, /api/invitations/validate/:token

Implementation:

// apps/producer-service/src/middleware/auth.ts
const apiKey = request.headers['x-api-key'] as string;
if (apiKey) {
    const validation = await validateApiKey(apiKey, db);
    if (validation.valid) {
        request.user = validation.user;
        return; // Authenticated via API key
    }
}
// Fall through to JWT validation...

✅ Security Strengths

1. Authentication (JWT)

Status: ✅ EXCELLENT

Strengths:

✅ Industry-standard JWT implementation using jsonwebtoken library
✅ Tokens include issuer (agnostic-automation-center) and audience (aac-api) claims
✅ Configurable expiration time (default: 24h)
✅ Proper token verification with issuer/audience validation
✅ Bearer token scheme used correctly
✅ Token extraction handles edge cases (missing, malformed, empty)
✅ Clear error messages for expired vs invalid tokens

Evidence:

// apps/producer-service/src/utils/jwt.ts:44-48
return jwt.sign(payload as object, JWT_SECRET, {
  expiresIn: JWT_EXPIRY as string,
  issuer: 'agnostic-automation-center',
  audience: 'aac-api'
} as jwt.SignOptions);

Verification:

// apps/producer-service/src/utils/jwt.ts:67-70
const decoded = jwt.verify(token, JWT_SECRET, {
  issuer: 'agnostic-automation-center',
  audience: 'aac-api'
}) as IJWTPayload;

2. Password Security

Status: ✅ EXCELLENT

Strengths:

✅ bcrypt hashing with configurable salt rounds (default: 10)
✅ Strong password requirements enforced:
- Minimum 8 characters
- Uppercase letter required
- Lowercase letter required
- Number required
- Special character required
✅ Maximum length validation (128 chars) to prevent DoS
✅ Password comparison uses timing-safe bcrypt.compare()
✅ Passwords never logged or stored in plain text
✅ Additional security utilities (pattern detection, strength scoring)

Evidence:

// apps/producer-service/src/utils/password.ts:45
const hash = await bcrypt.hash(password, SALT_ROUNDS);

// apps/producer-service/src/utils/password.ts:75
const isMatch = await bcrypt.compare(password, hashedPassword);

Password Requirements:

// apps/producer-service/src/utils/password.ts:114-142
- Length: 8-128 characters
- Uppercase: /[A-Z]/
- Lowercase: /[a-z]/
- Number: /[0-9]/
- Special: /[!@#$%^&*(),.?":{}|<>]/

3. Multi-Tenant Data Isolation

Status: ✅ EXCELLENT

Strengths:

✅ All database queries filter by organizationId
✅ Consistent STRING type for organizationId (no ObjectId mismatches)
✅ Socket.io room-based broadcasting (org:{organizationId})
✅ Report storage scoped by organization
✅ Performance metrics scoped by organization (Redis keys)
✅ Returns 404 instead of 403 to prevent information leakage
✅ Zero cross-organization data leaks verified through integration tests

Evidence:

// apps/producer-service/src/index.ts:169
const executions = await collection
  .find({ organizationId })  // Filter by organizationId
  .sort({ startTime: -1 })
  .toArray();

// apps/producer-service/src/index.ts:286-289
const result = await collection.deleteOne({
  taskId: id,
  organizationId  // Verify ownership before deletion
});

Socket.io Isolation:

// apps/producer-service/src/index.ts:389-390
const orgRoom = `org:${payload.organizationId}`;
socket.join(orgRoom);  // Join organization-specific room

4. Authorization & Access Control

Status: ✅ EXCELLENT

Strengths:

✅ Role-based access control (RBAC) implemented
✅ Three roles: admin, developer, viewer
✅ Middleware factory for flexible role requirements
✅ Convenience wrappers (adminOnly, developerOrAdmin)
✅ Organization ownership verification middleware
✅ Rate limiting middleware (basic implementation)
✅ Optional authentication for public/private hybrid routes

Evidence:

// apps/producer-service/src/middleware/auth.ts:106-131
export function requireRole(...allowedRoles: Array<'admin' | 'developer' | 'viewer'>) {
  return async (request: FastifyRequest, reply: FastifyReply): Promise<void> => {
    if (!request.user) {
      return reply.code(401).send({ error: 'Authentication required' });
    }
    if (!allowedRoles.includes(request.user.role)) {
      return reply.code(403).send({ error: 'Insufficient permissions' });
    }
  };
}

5. Input Validation

Status: ✅ GOOD

Strengths:

✅ Email format validation using regex
✅ Password strength validation before signup
✅ Required field checks
✅ Email normalization (lowercase)
✅ Organization slug sanitization
✅ User existence checks to prevent duplicates
✅ Zod schema validation for test execution requests

Evidence:

// apps/producer-service/src/routes/auth.ts:59-60
const emailRegex = /^[^\s@]+@[^\s@]+\.[^\s@]+$/;
if (!emailRegex.test(email)) { ... }

// apps/producer-service/src/routes/auth.ts:68-75
const passwordValidation = validatePasswordStrength(password);
if (!passwordValidation.valid) {
  return reply.code(400).send({
    error: 'Weak password',
    message: passwordValidation.errors.join(', ')
  });
}

6. Error Handling & Information Disclosure

Status: ✅ GOOD

Strengths:

✅ Generic error messages prevent user enumeration
✅ No sensitive data in error responses
✅ Consistent error format across API
✅ HTTP status codes used correctly (401, 403, 404, 500)
✅ Returns 404 instead of 403 to prevent info leakage
✅ Detailed errors logged server-side only

Evidence:

// apps/producer-service/src/routes/auth.ts:194-198
if (!user) {
  return reply.code(401).send({
    error: 'Invalid credentials',
    message: 'Email or password is incorrect'  // Generic message
  });
}

// apps/producer-service/src/index.ts:292-296
if (result.deletedCount === 0) {
  return reply.status(404).send({  // 404 instead of 403
    error: 'Execution not found'    // Doesn't leak if belongs to other org
  });
}

⚠️ Security Recommendations

1. JWT Secret Security

Severity: 🔴 CRITICAL (Production)

Issue: Default JWT secret is hardcoded and includes warning message.

Current Code:

// apps/producer-service/src/utils/jwt.ts:11
const JWT_SECRET = process.env.JWT_SECRET || 'dev-secret-CHANGE-IN-PRODUCTION';

Recommendation:

✅ Already documented in .env.example with 64-character random generation instructions
⚠️ Production Requirement: MUST set JWT_SECRET to cryptographically secure random string
⚠️ Add validation: Fail to start if JWT_SECRET is default value in production mode

Suggested Fix:

const JWT_SECRET = process.env.JWT_SECRET || 'dev-secret-CHANGE-IN-PRODUCTION';

// Fail in production if using default secret
if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production' && JWT_SECRET === 'dev-secret-CHANGE-IN-PRODUCTION') {
  throw new Error('CRITICAL: JWT_SECRET must be set in production! Generate with: openssl rand -hex 32');
}

2. Rate Limiting (Production Enhancement)

Severity: 🟡 MEDIUM

Issue: Rate limiting uses in-memory storage which doesn't scale across multiple instances.

Current Code:

// apps/producer-service/src/middleware/auth.ts:269
const rateLimitStore = new Map<string, { count: number; resetAt: number }>();

Recommendation:

⚠️ Replace with Redis-based rate limiting for production
⚠️ Consider using @fastify/rate-limit plugin
⚠️ Implement rate limiting on sensitive endpoints:
- /api/auth/login (prevent brute force)
- /api/auth/signup (prevent spam registration)
- /api/execution-request (prevent resource exhaustion)

Suggested Implementation:

// Using Redis for distributed rate limiting
import Redis from 'ioredis';

export function rateLimit(maxRequests: number, windowMs: number) {
  return async (request: FastifyRequest, reply: FastifyReply): Promise<void> => {
    const key = `ratelimit:${request.user?.organizationId || request.ip}`;
    const count = await redis.incr(key);

    if (count === 1) {
      await redis.pexpire(key, windowMs);
    }

    if (count > maxRequests) {
      return reply.code(429).send({ error: 'Too many requests' });
    }
  };
}

3. JWT Token Blacklist (Logout Enhancement)

Severity: 🟡 MEDIUM

Issue: Logout is client-side only. Tokens remain valid until expiration.

Current Code:

// apps/producer-service/src/routes/auth.ts:338-346
app.post('/api/auth/logout', { preHandler: authMiddleware }, async (request, reply) => {
  // In a stateless JWT system, logout is handled client-side
  // Future: Implement token blacklist in Redis
  return reply.send({ success: true, message: 'Logged out successfully' });
});

Recommendation:

⚠️ Implement Redis-based token blacklist for critical applications
⚠️ Store token JTI (unique identifier) in Redis with TTL matching token expiration
⚠️ Check blacklist during token verification

Suggested Implementation:

export async function verifyToken(token: string): Promise<IJWTPayload | null> {
  const decoded = jwt.verify(token, JWT_SECRET) as IJWTPayload;

  // Check if token is blacklisted
  const isBlacklisted = await redis.exists(`blacklist:${decoded.jti}`);
  if (isBlacklisted) {
    return null;
  }

  return decoded;
}

// On logout
app.post('/api/auth/logout', async (request, reply) => {
  const token = extractTokenFromHeader(request.headers.authorization);
  const payload = decodeTokenUnsafe(token);

  if (payload?.jti && payload.exp) {
    const ttl = payload.exp - Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000);
    await redis.setex(`blacklist:${payload.jti}`, ttl, '1');
  }

  return reply.send({ success: true });
});

4. CORS Configuration Review

Severity: 🟡 MEDIUM

Issue: CORS allows all origins (origin: true).

Current Code:

// apps/producer-service/src/index.ts:34-37
app.register(cors, {
  origin: true,  // Allows ALL origins
  methods: ['GET', 'POST', 'PUT', 'DELETE', 'OPTIONS'],
});

Recommendation:

⚠️ Production: Restrict to specific allowed origins
⚠️ Use environment variable for allowed origins
⚠️ Consider credentials: true if using cookies

Suggested Fix:

const allowedOrigins = (process.env.ALLOWED_ORIGINS || 'http://localhost:8080').split(',');

app.register(cors, {
  origin: (origin, cb) => {
    if (!origin || allowedOrigins.includes(origin)) {
      cb(null, true);
    } else {
      cb(new Error('Not allowed by CORS'), false);
    }
  },
  methods: ['GET', 'POST', 'PUT', 'DELETE', 'OPTIONS'],
  credentials: false  // Set to true if using cookies
});

5. MongoDB Indexes for Performance & Security

Severity: 🟢 LOW (Already Implemented)

Status: ✅ Migration script creates proper indexes

Verification:

// migrations/001-add-organization-to-existing-data.ts:251-283
await executionsCollection.createIndex({ organizationId: 1, startTime: -1 });
await usersCollection.createIndex({ email: 1 }, { unique: true });
await usersCollection.createIndex({ organizationId: 1 });
await orgsCollection.createIndex({ slug: 1 }, { unique: true });

Additional Recommendation:

✅ Add compound index for common queries:

await executionsCollection.createIndex({ organizationId: 1, status: 1, startTime: -1 });

6. Docker Security Hardening

Severity: 🟢 LOW (Enhancement)

Current Status: Basic Docker security in place

Recommendations:

⚠️ Run containers as non-root user
⚠️ Use multi-stage builds to minimize image size
⚠️ Scan images for vulnerabilities (docker scan)
⚠️ Use specific base image versions (avoid :latest)
⚠️ Implement read-only root filesystem where possible

Example Dockerfile Hardening:

# Use specific version
FROM node:20.11.0-alpine

# Create non-root user
RUN addgroup -g 1001 -S nodejs && adduser -S nodejs -u 1001

# Set working directory
WORKDIR /app

# Copy files with correct ownership
COPY --chown=nodejs:nodejs . .

# Switch to non-root user
USER nodejs

# Run application
CMD ["node", "dist/index.js"]

7. Environment Variable Security

Severity: 🟢 LOW (Already Implemented)

Status: ✅ Comprehensive .env.example created with security warnings

Verification:

# .env.example:17-22
# 🚨 CRITICAL SECURITY WARNING 🚨
# NEVER commit .env file to version control
# NEVER share JWT_SECRET or API keys in public channels
# Rotate secrets immediately if accidentally exposed
# Use environment-specific secrets (dev, staging, prod)

Additional Recommendation:

✅ Consider using secret management service (AWS Secrets Manager, HashiCorp Vault)
✅ Implement secret rotation policy (e.g., every 90 days)

8. SQL/NoSQL Injection Prevention

Severity: 🟢 LOW (Already Mitigated)

Status: ✅ MongoDB driver uses parameterized queries

Verification:

// apps/producer-service/src/index.ts:168-172
const executions = await collection
  .find({ organizationId })  // Parameterized query
  .sort({ startTime: -1 })
  .toArray();

Note: MongoDB driver automatically escapes user input, preventing injection attacks.

9. XSS Prevention

Severity: 🟢 LOW (Frontend Responsibility)

Status: ✅ React automatically escapes output by default

Recommendations:

✅ Never use dangerouslySetInnerHTML without sanitization
✅ Sanitize user input on backend before storage (additional layer)
✅ Implement Content Security Policy (CSP) headers

Suggested CSP Headers:

app.addHook('onSend', async (request, reply) => {
  reply.header('Content-Security-Policy',
    "default-src 'self'; script-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline';"
  );
  reply.header('X-Content-Type-Options', 'nosniff');
  reply.header('X-Frame-Options', 'DENY');
  reply.header('X-XSS-Protection', '1; mode=block');
});

11. External AI Data Privacy & Disclosure

Severity: 🟡 MEDIUM

Issue: Failure logs are sent to an external provider (Google Gemini) for analysis without explicit per-tenant opt-out mechanism.

Status: ⚠️ RECOMMENDED ENHANCEMENT

Strengths:

✅ Use of Gemini 2.5 Flash via API (Standard Enterprise terms usually exclude training on API data)
✅ Logs are truncated and sanitized before transmission

Recommendations:

⚠️ Implement Opt-out: Add a mandatory organization-level toggle to disable AI analysis.
⚠️ Data Minimization: Implement a pre-processing filter to strip PII (Personal Identifiable Information) or secrets from logs before sending to the AI.
⚠️ Transparency: Add a "Data Processing Disclosure" in the UI to inform users that logs are analyzed by an external AI model.

Suggested Logic Update:

// apps/worker-service/src/worker.ts
if (orgSettings.aiAnalysisEnabled && (finalStatus === 'FAILED' || finalStatus === 'UNSTABLE')) {
    analysis = await analyzeTestFailure(logsBuffer, image);
} else {
    analysis = 'AI Analysis skipped: Disabled by organization policy.';
}

---

### 10. Logging & Monitoring

**Severity:** 🟢 **LOW (Enhancement)**

**Current Status:** Basic logging implemented with Fastify logger

**Recommendations:**
- ⚠️ Implement centralized logging (e.g., Winston, Pino with transport)
- ⚠️ Add security event logging:
  - Failed login attempts
  - Account lockouts
  - JWT verification failures
  - Authorization failures
- ⚠️ Set up alerting for suspicious patterns (e.g., multiple failed logins)
- ⚠️ Implement audit trail for sensitive operations

**Example Security Event Logging:**
```typescript
// Log failed login attempts
app.log.warn({
  event: 'LOGIN_FAILED',
  email,
  ip: request.ip,
  timestamp: new Date()
});

// Alert after N failed attempts
const failedAttempts = await redis.incr(`login_failures:${email}`);
if (failedAttempts >= 5) {
  app.log.error({
    event: 'BRUTE_FORCE_DETECTED',
    email,
    attempts: failedAttempts,
    ip: request.ip
  });
  // Send alert to admin
}
