# LiveComponents Security Audit Report
**Sprint**: Sprint 2 - Security Audit & OWASP Top 10 Check
**Date**: 2025-10-19
**System**: LiveComponents Framework Module
**Auditor**: Claude Code
**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

## Conclusion
### Summary
The **LiveComponents security architecture is STRONG** with comprehensive defense-in-depth implementation. The system demonstrates:
**6 major security layers** protecting against OWASP Top 10
**Framework-first security** with immutable Value Objects
**Explicit allow-lists** preventing unauthorized method calls
**Production-ready** with recommended improvements
### Critical Next Steps
1. **Implement State Encryption** (HIGH Priority) - Closes A02 Cryptographic Failures gap
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
