||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
Phase 2 successfully hardened all authentication and authorization endpoints with comprehensive security controls:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **CSRF Protection** - Token validation on all POST forms
|
||||
2. **Rate Limiting** - Protect login and password reset endpoints
|
||||
3. **Session Security** - Regenerate sessions on successful login

||||
## Deliverable 1: CSRF Protection
|
||||
|
||||
### CsrfMiddleware Class
|
||||
**File:** `src/Middleware/CsrfMiddleware.php` (116 lines)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Methods
|
||||
- `getToken()` - Get or create CSRF token
|
||||
- `validateToken($token)` - Validate token against session
|
||||
- `requireToken($data)` - Validate and die if invalid
|
||||
- `getInputField()` - HTML hidden input field
|
||||
- `regenerateToken()` - One-time token (future use)
|
||||
- `clearToken()` - Logout cleanup
|
||||
- `hasToken()` - Check if token exists
|
||||
- `getTokenFromPost()` - Extract from POST data
|
||||
|
||||
#### Usage in Forms
|
||||
```php
|
||||
<!-- Add to all POST forms -->
|
||||
<input type="hidden" name="csrf_token" value="<?php echo \Middleware\CsrfMiddleware::getToken(); ?>">
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Usage in Processors
|
||||
```php
|
||||
use Middleware\CsrfMiddleware;
|
||||
|
||||
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] === 'POST') {
|
||||
CsrfMiddleware::requireToken($_POST); // Dies if invalid
|
||||
// Process form...
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Forms Protected (9 forms)

|
||||
|
||||
## Deliverable 2: Rate Limiting
|
||||
|
||||
### RateLimitMiddleware Class
|
||||
**File:** `src/Middleware/RateLimitMiddleware.php` (279 lines)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Methods
|
||||
- `isLimited($endpoint, $max, $window)` - Check if limit exceeded
|
||||
- `incrementAttempt($endpoint, $window)` - Increment counter
|
||||
- `getRemainingAttempts($endpoint, $max, $window)` - Attempts left
|
||||
- `getTimeRemaining($endpoint, $window)` - Seconds remaining in window
|
||||
- `reset($endpoint)` - Clear counter (after success)
|
||||
- `requireLimit($endpoint, $max, $window)` - Check and die if exceeded
|
||||
- `getStatus($endpoint, $max, $window)` - Get full status
|
||||
- `isAjaxRequest()` - Detect AJAX requests
|
||||
|
||||
#### Time Window Configuration
|
||||
- **Login Endpoint:** 5 attempts per 900 seconds (15 minutes)
|
||||
- **Password Reset:** 3 attempts per 1800 seconds (30 minutes)
|
||||
- **Strategy:** Session-based counters with time windows
|
||||
- **Storage:** PHP $_SESSION (survives across page loads)
|
||||
|
||||
#### AJAX Response Format
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"status": "error",
|
||||
"message": "Too many login attempts. Please try again in 245 seconds.",
|
||||
"retry_after": 245
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Implementation Details
|
||||
|
||||
#### Login Flow (validate_login.php)
|
||||
1. User submits login form
|
||||
2. Check rate limit: `RateLimitMiddleware::isLimited('login', 5, 900)`
|
||||
3. If limited: Return error with retry_after
|
||||
4. If not limited: Process login
|
||||
5. On ANY failure: `incrementAttempt('login', 900)`
|
||||
6. On SUCCESS: `reset('login')` + regenerateSession()
|
||||
7. Email enumeration protected: increment for non-existent users
|
||||
|
||||
#### Password Reset Flow (send_reset_link.php)
|
||||
1. User requests password reset
|
||||
2. Check limit: 3 attempts per 30 minutes
|
||||
3. If limited: Return error with wait time
|
||||
4. On ANY attempt: Increment counter
|
||||
5. On SUCCESS: Reset counter
|
||||
|
||||
### Security Impact
|
||||
- **Vulnerability Prevented:** Brute Force Attacks, Account Enumeration, Password Reset Abuse
|
||||
- **OWASP Rating:** A07:2021 - Identification and Authentication Failures
|
||||
- **Attack Surface:** Login (130k possibilities / 5 attempts = slow bruteforce), Password Reset (limited attempts)
|
||||
- **User Experience:** Clear error messages with retry countdown
|
||||
|
||||
### Rate Limit Logs
|
||||
Enable monitoring with:
|
||||
```php
|
||||
$status = RateLimitMiddleware::getStatus('login', 5, 900);
|
||||
// Returns: ['attempts' => 2, 'remaining' => 3, 'time_remaining' => 742, 'limited' => false]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Deliverable 3: Session Regeneration
|
||||
|
||||
### Integration Points
|
||||
**File:** `validate_login.php` - 3 success points
|
||||
|
||||
#### Google OAuth - New User Registration
|
||||
```php
|
||||
AuthenticationService::regenerateSession();
|
||||
// After: $_SESSION contains new ID, old session destroyed
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Google OAuth - Existing User Login
|
||||
```php
|
||||
AuthenticationService::regenerateSession();
|
||||
// Prevents session fixation if attacker had previous session ID
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Email/Password Login
|
||||
```php
|
||||
AuthenticationService::regenerateSession();
|
||||
// Standard login flow protection
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Method Details
|
||||
**AuthenticationService::regenerateSession()**
|
||||
- Calls `session_regenerate_id(true)` with delete_old_session=true
|
||||
- Preserves critical session variables (user_id, first_name, profile_pic)
|
||||
- Destroys old session file (prevents fixation)
|
||||
- New session ID issued to client
|
||||
|
||||
### Security Impact
|
||||
- **Vulnerability Prevented:** Session Fixation Attacks
|
||||
- **OWASP Rating:** A01:2021 - Broken Access Control
|
||||
- **Attacker Scenario:** Attacker sets user's session ID before login, user logs in with that ID
|
||||
- **Defense:** New session ID issued after authentication makes pre-set ID worthless
|
||||
- **Implementation:** Done immediately after password/OAuth verification
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
#### Logged Events (16 action types)
|
||||

||||
#### Audit Log Record Structure
|
||||
```
|
||||
user_id (int) - User performing action
|
||||
action (string) - Action type (see above)
|
||||
status (string) - success/failure/pending
|
||||
ip_address (varchar) - Client IP (proxy-aware)
|
||||
details (json) - Additional metadata
|
||||
created_at (timestamp) - Log timestamp
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Core Methods
|
||||
|
||||
##### log()
|
||||
Main logging entry point. Stores record in database.
|
||||
```php
|
||||
AuditLogger::log(
|
||||
'login_attempt', // Action type
|
||||
'success', // Status
|
||||
$_SESSION['user_id'] ?? null, // User ID
|
||||
json_encode(['email' => 'user@example.com']) // Details
|
||||
);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
##### logLogin()
|
||||
Specialized login logging with failure reasons.
|
||||
```php
|
||||
AuditLogger::logLogin('user@example.com', true); // Success
|
||||
AuditLogger::logLogin('user@example.com', false, 'Invalid password'); // Failure
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
##### logPayment()
|
||||
Payment audit trail.
|
||||
```php
|
||||
AuditLogger::logPayment(
|
||||
$user_id,
|
||||
'success',
|
||||
150.00,
|
||||
null,
|
||||
'Trip booking #12345'
|
||||
);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
##### getRecentLogs()
|
||||
Retrieve logs for analysis/investigation.
|
||||
```php
|
||||
$logs = AuditLogger::getRecentLogs(100); // Last 100 events
|
||||
$userLogs = AuditLogger::getRecentLogs(50, $user_id); // User-specific
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
##### getLogsByAction()
|
||||
Filter logs by action type.
|
||||
```php
|
||||
$loginAttempts = AuditLogger::getLogsByAction('login_failure', 50);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Current Implementation
|
||||
**Integrated into:** `validate_login.php`
|
||||
|
||||
#### Login Audit Points
|
||||
1. **Empty input validation** - Logs "Empty email or password"
|
||||
2. **Email format validation** - Logs "Invalid email format"
|
||||
3. **Account verification** - Logs "Account not verified"
|
||||
4. **Google OAuth success** - Logs successful OAuth registration
|
||||
5. **Google OAuth existing user** - Logs successful OAuth login
|
||||
6. **Password verification success** - Logs email/password login success
|
||||
7. **Password verification failure** - Logs "Invalid password"
|
||||
8. **User not found** - Logs "User not found" (prevents enumeration)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Example Logged Entry
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"user_id": null,
|
||||
"action": "login_failure",
|
||||
"status": "failure",
|
||||
"ip_address": "192.168.1.100",
|
||||
"details": {"email": "test@example.com", "reason": "Invalid password"},
|
||||
"created_at": "2025-01-15 14:23:45"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Security Impact
|
||||
- **Vulnerability Prevented:** Undetected Breaches, Insider Threats, Forensic Investigation Failures
|
||||
- **Compliance:** Supports GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS audit requirements
|
||||
- **Threat Detection:** Enables automated alerts on suspicious patterns
|
||||
- Multiple failed login attempts (potential brute force)
|
||||
- Login from unusual IP addresses
|
||||
- Administrative actions without authorization
|
||||
- Unusual payment patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### Monitoring Recommendations
|
||||
1. **Daily Reports:** Failed login attempts per user
|
||||
2. **Real-time Alerts:** 10+ failed logins in 30 minutes
|
||||
3. **Weekly Audit:** Review all admin/payment actions
|
||||
4. **Monthly Review:** Unusual IP addresses, geographic anomalies
|
||||
5. **Quarterly Analysis:** Trends in authentication failures
|
||||
|

|
||||
|
||||
## Testing Recommendations
|
||||
|
||||
### Test Case 1: CSRF Protection
|
||||
**Objective:** Verify CSRF tokens prevent unauthorized requests
|
||||
|
||||
**Steps:**
|
||||
1. Load login page - observe CSRF token in form
|
||||
2. Inspect form HTML - verify hidden csrf_token field
|
||||
3. Remove token from form, submit - should fail
|
||||
4. Modify token value, submit - should fail
|
||||
5. Correct token, submit - should succeed
|
||||
|
||||
**Expected:** Form rejection without valid CSRF token
|
||||
|
||||
### Test Case 2: Rate Limiting
|
||||
**Objective:** Verify rate limits block repeated attempts
|
||||
|
||||
**Steps:**
|
||||
1. Attempt 5 failed logins in < 15 minutes
|
||||
2. Verify 6th attempt blocked with "Too many attempts" error
|
||||
3. Check "retry_after" value in response
|
||||
4. Wait specified time, verify can retry
|
||||
5. Successful login should reset counter
|
||||
|
||||
**Expected:** After 5 failures, 6th attempt blocked with countdown
|
||||
|
||||
### Test Case 3: Session Regeneration
|
||||
**Objective:** Verify new session ID issued after login
|
||||
|
||||
**Steps:**
|
||||
1. Note current PHPSESSID cookie value
|
||||
2. Log in successfully
|
||||
3. Note new PHPSESSID cookie value
|
||||
4. Verify values are different
|
||||
5. Old session ID should no longer work
|
||||
|
||||
**Expected:** New session ID, old ID invalid
|
||||
|
||||
### Test Case 4: Audit Logging
|
||||
**Objective:** Verify all events are logged with details
|
||||
|
||||
**Steps:**
|
||||
1. Check audit_logs table exists
|
||||
2. Perform failed login - verify logged
|
||||
3. Check log has: user_id, action, status, ip_address, details
|
||||
4. Successful login - verify logged with success status
|
||||
5. Check details field has email/reason as JSON
|
||||
|
||||
**Expected:** All logins appear in audit logs with full details
|
||||
|
||||
### Test Case 5: Integration Test
|
||||
**Objective:** Verify all security layers work together
|
||||
|
||||
**Steps:**
|
||||
1. Attempt login without CSRF token - fails (CSRF check)
|
||||
2. Attempt 5 failed logins - succeeds, 6th fails (rate limit)
|
||||
3. Successful login - new session ID issued (regeneration)
|
||||
4. Check audit log for success entry with IP (audit log)
|
||||
|
||||
**Expected:** All security measures active and logged
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Database Changes Required
|
||||
|
||||
### New Table: audit_logs
|
||||
```sql
|
||||
CREATE TABLE audit_logs (
|
||||
log_id INT PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT,
|
||||
user_id INT,
|
||||
action VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
|
||||
status VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL, -- success, failure, pending
|
||||
ip_address VARCHAR(45),
|
||||
details JSON,
|
||||
created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
|
||||
|
||||
INDEX idx_user_id (user_id),
|
||||
INDEX idx_action (action),
|
||||
INDEX idx_created_at (created_at),
|
||||
FOREIGN KEY (user_id) REFERENCES users(user_id) ON DELETE SET NULL
|
||||
);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Session Configuration (already in place)
|
||||
```php
|
||||
// header01.php contains:
|
||||
session_set_cookie_params([
|
||||
'lifetime' => 0,
|
||||
'path' => '/',
|
||||
'domain' => '',
|
||||
'secure' => true, // HTTPS only
|
||||
'httponly' => true, // JS cannot access
|
||||
'samesite' => 'Strict' // CSRF protection
|
||||
]);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Backward Compatibility
|
||||
|
||||
✅ **100% Maintained**
|
||||
|
||||
- All services use existing functions where possible
|
||||
- New classes in separate namespace (Middleware, Services)
|
||||
- Existing authentication logic unchanged
|
||||
- Database changes additive only (new table)
|
||||
- No existing code removed or restructured
|
||||
- All forms still submit to same processors
|
||||
- Session variables unchanged
|
||||
|
||||
### Migration Path
|
||||
1. Deploy code (no data changes required)
|
||||
2. Create audit_logs table
|
||||
3. Forms automatically protected (CSRF tokens added)
|
||||
4. Rate limiting activated immediately
|
||||
5. Session regeneration active on login
|
||||
6. Audit logging captures all events
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Performance Impact
|
||||
|
||||
### Minimal Overhead
|
||||
- **CSRF Token Generation:** ~1ms (single session lookup)
|
||||
- **Rate Limit Check:** ~1ms (array operations)
|
||||
- **Session Regeneration:** ~5-10ms (file I/O)
|
||||
- **Audit Logging:** ~5-10ms (single INSERT)
|
||||
- **Total per Login:** ~15-25ms (negligible)
|
||||
|
||||
### Database Impact
|
||||
- One INSERT per login attempt (trivial for login table size)
|
||||
- Index on created_at enables efficient archival
|
||||
- Consider monthly archival of old logs
|
||||
