**Duration**: 5-7 days (In Progress)

---

## Executive Summary

### Overall Security Posture: **STRONG** (B+ Grade)

The LiveComponents system demonstrates a **defense-in-depth security architecture** with multiple layers of protection. The implementation follows security best practices with:

- ✅ **6 major security layers** implemented and active
- ✅ **Framework-first security** - Security built into core architecture
- ✅ **Type-safe validation** - Readonly Value Objects prevent state tampering
- ✅ **Explicit allow-lists** - `#[Action]` attribute required for all callable methods
- ⚠️ **Encryption gap** - Sensitive state data not encrypted at rest
- ⚠️ **Testing coverage** - Security components need comprehensive unit tests

**Risk Level**: **LOW-MEDIUM** - System is production-ready with recommended improvements.

## OWASP Top 10:2021 Coverage Analysis

### A01:2021 – Broken Access Control ✅ COVERED

**Status**: **STRONG** - Multi-layer access control implementation

**Implemented Controls**:

1. **Permission-Based Authorization** (`ActionAuthorizationChecker`)
   - Interface-based authorization system
   - `#[RequiresPermission]` attribute for action-level access control
   - Session-based implementation with `isAuthorized()` checks
   - Method: `isAuthorized(component, method, permissionAttribute)`

2. **Action Allow-List** (`validateAction()` in `LiveComponentHandler`)
   - Explicit `#[Action]` attribute required for all callable methods
   - Reserved method protection (render, mount, hydrate, dehydrate)
   - Public method + non-static validation
   - Return type validation (must return State object)

3. **CSRF Protection** (Per-Component-Instance)
   - Token required for all state-changing actions
   - Component-scoped tokens: `livecomponent:{componentId}`
   - Session-based CSRF validation
   - Automatic token injection via `CsrfTokenProcessor`

**Code Evidence**:
```php
// Authorization check in LiveComponentHandler
private function validateAuthorization(
    LiveComponentContract $component,
    string $method
): void {
    $reflection = new \ReflectionMethod($component, $method);
    $permissionAttributes = $reflection->getAttributes(RequiresPermission::class);

    if (empty($permissionAttributes)) {
        return; // No permission required
    }

    $permissionAttribute = $permissionAttributes[0]->newInstance();

    if (! $this->authorizationChecker->isAuthorized($component, $method, $permissionAttribute)) {
        throw new UnauthorizedActionException(
            "User does not have permission to execute action '{$method}'"
        );
    }
}

// Action validation with explicit allow-list
private function validateAction(LiveComponentContract $component, string $method): ?Action
{
    if (ReservedActionName::isReserved($method)) {
        throw new \BadMethodCallException("Cannot call reserved method '{$method}'");
    }

    $reflection = new \ReflectionMethod($component, $method);
    $actionAttributes = $reflection->getAttributes(Action::class);

    if (empty($actionAttributes)) {
        throw new \BadMethodCallException(
            "Method '{$method}' is not marked as an action. Add #[Action] attribute"
        );
    }

    return $actionAttributes[0]->newInstance();
}
```

**Risk Assessment**: ✅ **LOW** - Strong access control with defense-in-depth

**Recommendations**:
- ✅ Already implemented - No critical gaps
- Consider: Add audit logging for authorization failures
- Consider: Implement role-based access control (RBAC) for complex permission scenarios

### A02:2021 – Cryptographic Failures ⚠️ PARTIAL COVERAGE

**Status**: **NEEDS IMPROVEMENT** - Encryption missing for sensitive state data

**Implemented Controls**:

1. **Session Security**
   - Session-based CSRF tokens (cryptographically secure)
   - Client identifier hashing: `Hash::sha256($identifier->toString())->toShort(16)`

**Missing Controls**:

1. ❌ **State Encryption at Rest**
   - Sensitive state data (user PII, payment info) stored unencrypted
   - No encryption layer for `StateSnapshot` storage
   - Search result: `grep -r "encrypt" src/Framework/LiveComponents/` returned **0 results**

2. ❌ **Transport Layer Security Documentation**
   - No explicit HTTPS enforcement in LiveComponents layer
   - Relies on application-level configuration

**Risk Assessment**: ⚠️ **MEDIUM** - Sensitive data exposure risk

**Recommendations**:

**Priority 1 - HIGH**: Implement State Encryption Layer
```php
// Recommended implementation
final readonly class EncryptedStateSerializer implements StateSerializer
{
    public function __construct(
        private readonly Encryptor $encryptor,
        private readonly StateSerializer $innerSerializer
    ) {}

    public function serialize(object $state): string
    {
        $plaintext = $this->innerSerializer->serialize($state);

        // Encrypt sensitive state data
        return $this->encryptor->encrypt($plaintext);
    }

    public function deserialize(string $serialized, string $className): object
    {
        $plaintext = $this->encryptor->decrypt($serialized);

        return $this->innerSerializer->deserialize($plaintext, $className);
    }
}

// Usage in LiveComponentHandler
$encryptedSerializer = new EncryptedStateSerializer(
    encryptor: $this->vault->getEncryptor(),
    innerSerializer: $this->stateSerializer
);
```

**Priority 2 - MEDIUM**: Add HTTPS Enforcement Middleware
- Document HTTPS requirement in production deployment checklist
- Add middleware to enforce HTTPS for LiveComponent requests
- Implement HSTS headers

---

### A03:2021 – Injection ✅ STRONG COVERAGE

**Status**: **EXCELLENT** - Multiple injection protection layers

**Implemented Controls**:

1. **Type-Safe State Validation** (`DefaultStateValidator`)
   - Automatic schema derivation from readonly Value Objects
   - Type checking: `$this->typesMatch($expectedType, $actualType, $value)`
   - Field validation: Required fields, unexpected fields, type mismatches
   - Throws `StateValidationException` on validation failure

2. **Readonly Value Objects** (Framework Principle)
   - All state represented as immutable Value Objects
   - No direct SQL queries in LiveComponents layer
   - State changes only via validated action methods

3. **Action Parameter Validation**
   - Return type validation (must return State object, not primitive types)
   - Public method + non-static validation
   - Prevents void/null/int/float/string/bool/array returns

**Code Evidence**:
```php
// Type-safe state validation
public function checkState(object $state, DerivedSchema $schema): ValidationResult
{
    $errors = [];
    $fieldErrors = [];
    $stateData = $state->toArray();

    // Check for missing required fields
    foreach ($schema->getFields() as $field) {
        if (! array_key_exists($field, $stateData)) {
            if (! $schema->isNullable($field)) {
                $fieldErrors[$field] = "Field '{$field}' is missing but required";
            }
        }
    }

    // Check for unexpected fields and type mismatches
    foreach ($stateData as $field => $value) {
        if (! $schema->hasField($field)) {
            $fieldErrors[$field] = "Field '{$field}' is not in schema";
            continue;
        }

        $expectedType = $schema->getType($field);
        $actualType = $this->getValueType($value);

        if (! $this->typesMatch($expectedType, $actualType, $value)) {
            $fieldErrors[$field] = "Field expects '{$expectedType}' but got '{$actualType}'";
        }
    }

    return empty($errors) && empty($fieldErrors)
        ? ValidationResult::valid()
        : ValidationResult::invalid($errors, $fieldErrors);
}
```

**Risk Assessment**: ✅ **LOW** - Strong injection protection through type system

**Recommendations**:
- ✅ Already implemented - No critical gaps
- Consider: Add XSS protection documentation for template rendering
- Consider: Document SQL injection protection at framework database layer

---

### A04:2021 – Insecure Design ✅ EXCELLENT

**Status**: **BEST IN CLASS** - Security-first architecture

**Implemented Design Patterns**:

1. **Defense in Depth** (6 Security Layers)
   ```
   Request → CSRF Validation → Action Validation → Idempotency Check
          → Rate Limiting → Authorization → State Validation → Execute
   ```

2. **Principle of Least Privilege**
   - Explicit `#[Action]` attribute required (deny by default)
   - Permission-based authorization with `#[RequiresPermission]`
   - Reserved methods blocked from external calls

3. **Fail Securely**
   - Invalid CSRF token → Exception + Block
   - Missing `#[Action]` → Exception + Block
   - Rate limit exceeded → Exception + 429 Response
   - Unauthorized → Exception + 403 Response
   - Invalid state → Exception + Rollback

4. **Immutable State Architecture**
   - Readonly Value Objects prevent state tampering
   - State changes only via validated action methods
   - No direct property mutation allowed

**Risk Assessment**: ✅ **LOW** - Excellent security architecture

**Recommendations**:
- ✅ Already implemented - Framework follows security best practices
- Consider: Document security design decisions in architecture docs
- Consider: Create threat model diagram for LiveComponents request flow

---

### A05:2021 – Security Misconfiguration ✅ GOOD

**Status**: **GOOD** - Secure defaults with configuration flexibility

**Implemented Secure Defaults**:

1. **Rate Limiting Defaults** (`LiveComponentRateLimiter`)
   - Action-level default: **30 requests/minute**
   - Component-level default: **60 requests/minute**
   - 1-minute sliding window
   - Per-client identifier isolation

2. **CSRF Protection**
   - Enabled by default for all actions
   - No opt-out mechanism (always required)
   - Per-component-instance token scope

3. **Authorization**
   - Default: No permission required (public access)
   - Explicit opt-in via `#[RequiresPermission]` attribute
   - Session-based authentication

**Code Evidence**:
```php
private function getDefaultActionLimit(): ?int
{
    return 30; // 30 requests per minute per action
}

private function getDefaultComponentLimit(): int
{
    return 60; // 60 requests per minute for all actions combined
}
```

**Risk Assessment**: ✅ **LOW** - Secure defaults in place

**Recommendations**:

**Priority 1 - MEDIUM**: Document Production Security Configuration
- Create `docs/livecomponents/security-deployment.md` with:
  - Rate limiting configuration recommendations
  - HTTPS enforcement checklist
  - Security headers configuration
  - Session security settings

**Priority 2 - LOW**: Add Security Configuration Validation
```php
final readonly class LiveComponentSecurityValidator
{
    public function validateProductionConfig(LiveComponentConfig $config): SecurityValidationReport
    {
        $issues = [];

        // Check rate limiting is enabled
        if ($config->rateLimitingEnabled === false) {
            $issues[] = "Rate limiting should be enabled in production";
        }

        // Check default limits are reasonable
        if ($config->defaultActionLimit > 100) {
            $issues[] = "Default action limit is too high (>100/min)";
        }

        // Check HTTPS enforcement
        if (! $config->requireHttps) {
            $issues[] = "HTTPS should be enforced in production";
        }

        return new SecurityValidationReport($issues);
    }
}
```

### A06:2021 – Vulnerable and Outdated Components 🔄 TO BE ASSESSED

**Status**: **PENDING** - Automated dependency scanning required

**Current State**:
- PHP 8.5.0RC2 (Docker container)
- Composer dependencies not yet scanned
- JavaScript dependencies (Vite, frontend) not yet scanned

**Risk Assessment**: ⚠️ **UNKNOWN** - Requires automated scanning

**Recommendations**:

**Priority 1 - HIGH**: Sprint 2 Task 4 - Automated Dependency Scanning (1-2 days)
- Implement Composer dependency scanning
- Implement NPM dependency scanning
- Set up continuous monitoring

**Planned Tools**:
1. **PHP Dependencies**: `composer audit` + Roave Security Advisories
2. **JavaScript Dependencies**: `npm audit`
3. **CI/CD Integration**: Automated vulnerability scanning in build pipeline

**Action Required**: Execute Sprint 2 Task 4 after completing security audit

---

### A07:2021 – Identification and Authentication Failures ✅ COVERED

**Status**: **GOOD** - Session-based authentication with security controls

**Implemented Controls**:

1. **Rate Limiting Protection** (Brute Force Prevention)
   - 30 requests/minute per action default
   - 60 requests/minute per component default
   - Client identifier hashing for privacy
   - Configurable per-action limits via `#[Action]` attribute

2. **Idempotency Protection** (Replay Attack Prevention)
   - Optional per-action idempotency with TTL
   - Prevents duplicate request processing
   - Integrated with `IdempotencyService`
   - Configurable TTL: `idempotencyTTL: Duration::fromMinutes(5)`

3. **Session-Based Authentication**
   - `SessionBasedAuthorizationChecker` implementation
   - `isAuthenticated()` check available
   - `getUserPermissions()` for fine-grained access control

**Code Evidence**:
```php
// Idempotency protection in LiveComponentHandler
if ($params->hasIdempotencyKey() && $actionAttribute?->idempotencyTTL !== null) {
    return $this->handleWithIdempotency($component, $method, $params, $actionAttribute);
}

private function handleWithIdempotency(
    LiveComponentContract $component,
    string $method,
    ActionParameters $params,
    Action $actionAttribute
): ComponentUpdate {
    $idempotencyKey = $params->getIdempotencyKey();
    $ttl = $actionAttribute->idempotencyTTL;

    $cachedResult = $this->idempotencyService->get($idempotencyKey);

    if ($cachedResult !== null) {
        return $cachedResult; // Return cached result for duplicate request
    }

    $result = $this->executeActionAndBuildUpdate($component, $method, $params);

    $this->idempotencyService->store($idempotencyKey, $result, $ttl);

    return $result;
}
```

**Risk Assessment**: ✅ **LOW** - Strong authentication failure prevention

**Recommendations**:
- ✅ Already implemented - Brute force + replay attack protection
- Consider: Add account lockout after N failed authorization attempts
- Consider: Document session timeout configuration
- Consider: Implement multi-factor authentication (MFA) support for sensitive actions

---

### A08:2021 – Software and Data Integrity Failures ✅ EXCELLENT

**Status**: **BEST IN CLASS** - Integrity protection at multiple layers

**Implemented Controls**:

1. **Immutable State Architecture** (Framework Principle)
   - Readonly Value Objects enforce immutability
   - State changes only via validated action methods
   - No direct property mutation possible
   - Type system prevents data corruption

2. **State Validation** (`DefaultStateValidator`)
   - Schema-based validation on every state change
   - Type checking prevents data type corruption
   - Required field validation prevents incomplete state
   - Unexpected field detection prevents data injection

3. **Idempotency Keys** (Data Integrity)
   - Prevents duplicate operations
   - Ensures exactly-once execution semantics
   - Cached results guarantee consistent outcomes

4. **CSRF Tokens** (Request Integrity)
   - Prevents unauthorized state changes
   - Per-component-instance scope
   - Session-based validation

**Framework Principles Supporting Integrity**:
```php
// Readonly Value Objects - Immutability by design
final readonly class CounterState
{
    public function __construct(
        public int $count
    ) {}

    // State changes return NEW instance (immutable)
    public function increment(): self
    {
        return new self($this->count + 1);
    }
}

// Type-safe action execution
#[Action]
public function increment(): CounterState
{
    // MUST return CounterState (validated by framework)
    // Cannot return void/null/array/primitive types
    return $this->state->increment();
}
```

**Risk Assessment**: ✅ **LOW** - Excellent data integrity protection

**Recommendations**:
- ✅ Already implemented - Framework architecture enforces integrity
- Consider: Add digital signatures for critical state transitions
- Consider: Implement state change audit logging

---

### A09:2021 – Security Logging and Monitoring Failures ⚠️ NEEDS IMPROVEMENT

**Status**: **NEEDS IMPROVEMENT** - Logging exists but lacks comprehensive security events

**Current State**:
- Framework has OWASP security logging infrastructure
- LiveComponents layer missing explicit security event logging
- No documented security monitoring dashboard

**Missing Controls**:

1. ❌ **Security Event Logging**
   - CSRF validation failures not logged
   - Rate limit violations not logged to security events
   - Authorization failures not logged
   - Suspicious activity not flagged

2. ❌ **Audit Trail**
   - State changes not audited
   - Action executions not logged with user context
   - No retention policy documented

**Risk Assessment**: ⚠️ **MEDIUM** - Security incidents may go undetected

**Recommendations**:

**Priority 1 - HIGH**: Implement Security Event Logging Integration
```php
use App\Framework\Security\OWASPSecurityLogger;
use App\Framework\Security\OWASPEventIdentifier;

final readonly class LiveComponentHandler
{
    public function __construct(
        // ... existing dependencies
        private readonly OWASPSecurityLogger $securityLogger
    ) {}

    private function validateCsrf(ComponentId $componentId, ActionParameters $params): void
    {
        if (! $params->hasCsrfToken()) {
            // LOG: CSRF token missing
            $this->securityLogger->logSecurityEvent(
                new SecurityEventType(OWASPEventIdentifier::INPUT_VALIDATION_FAILURE),
                context: [
                    'component_id' => $componentId->toString(),
                    'reason' => 'csrf_token_missing',
                    'threat_level' => 'high'
                ]
            );

            throw new \InvalidArgumentException('CSRF token required');
        }

        // ... existing CSRF validation

        if ($validationFailed) {
            // LOG: CSRF token invalid
            $this->securityLogger->logSecurityEvent(
                new SecurityEventType(OWASPEventIdentifier::CSRF_ATTACK_DETECTED),
                context: [
                    'component_id' => $componentId->toString(),
                    'token' => $csrfToken->getMasked(),
                    'threat_level' => 'critical'
                ]
            );

            throw new CsrfTokenMismatchException();
        }
    }

    private function validateRateLimit(
        LiveComponentContract $component,
        string $method,
        ActionParameters $params,
        ?Action $actionAttribute
    ): void {
        $result = $this->rateLimiter->checkActionLimit(
            $component,
            $method,
            $params->getClientIdentifier(),
            $actionAttribute
        );

        if ($result->isExceeded()) {
            // LOG: Rate limit exceeded
            $this->securityLogger->logSecurityEvent(
                new SecurityEventType(OWASPEventIdentifier::SECURITY_RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED),
                context: [
                    'component' => get_class($component),
                    'action' => $method,
                    'client_id' => $params->getClientIdentifier()->toHash(),
                    'limit' => $result->getLimit(),
                    'retry_after' => $result->getRetryAfter()->toSeconds()
                ]
            );

            throw new RateLimitExceededException($result->getRetryAfter());
        }
    }
}
```

**Priority 2 - MEDIUM**: Add Action Execution Audit Logging
```php
private function executeAction(
    LiveComponentContract $component,
    string $method,
    ActionParameters $params
): object {
    $startTime = microtime(true);

    try {
        $newState = $component->$method();

        // LOG: Successful action execution
        $this->auditLogger->logActionExecution([
            'component' => get_class($component),
            'component_id' => $component->id->toString(),
            'action' => $method,
            'user_id' => $this->authorizationChecker->getUserId(),
            'execution_time_ms' => (microtime(true) - $startTime) * 1000,
            'status' => 'success'
        ]);

        return $newState;
    } catch (\Throwable $e) {
        // LOG: Failed action execution
        $this->auditLogger->logActionExecution([
            'component' => get_class($component),
            'action' => $method,
            'status' => 'failed',
            'error' => $e->getMessage()
        ]);

        throw $e;
    }
}
```

**Priority 3 - LOW**: Document Security Monitoring Dashboard Requirements
- Real-time CSRF attack detection alerts
- Rate limit violation trending
- Authorization failure patterns
- Suspicious activity detection (e.g., rapid component instantiation)

---

### A10:2021 – Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) ✅ NOT APPLICABLE

**Status**: **NOT APPLICABLE** - LiveComponents does not make external requests

**Analysis**:
- LiveComponents system handles client-server state synchronization
- No URL fetching or external HTTP requests in LiveComponents layer
- File uploads handled via framework's upload system (separate layer)
- No user-controlled URLs processed

**Risk Assessment**: ✅ **NOT APPLICABLE**

**Recommendations**:
- ✅ No action required
- If future features add external requests, implement URL validation and allowlist

---

2. **Complete Dependency Scanning** (HIGH Priority) - Sprint 2 Task 4
3. **Add Security Event Logging** (MEDIUM Priority) - Enables security monitoring
4. **Comprehensive Security Testing** (MEDIUM Priority) - Sprint 2 Tasks 2-3

### Production Readiness

**Recommendation**: **APPROVED for production deployment** with the following conditions:

1. ✅ **Deploy immediately** for non-sensitive data applications
2. ⚠️ **Implement state encryption** before deploying applications handling:
   - Personal Identifiable Information (PII)
   - Payment information
   - Health records
   - Confidential business data
3. ✅ **Enable security event logging** for production monitoring
4. ✅ **Complete dependency scanning** within 2 weeks of deployment
