+
+---
+
+## Completed Tasks ✅
+
+### 1. CSRF Token System (100% Complete)
+**File**: `functions.php`

+## In-Progress Tasks 🟡
+
+None currently. All major implementation tasks completed.
+
+---
+
+## Remaining Tasks ⏳
+
+### 9. Add CSRF Tokens to Form Templates (0% - NEXT)
+**Scope**: ~40+ forms across application
+**Task**: Add hidden CSRF token field to every `<form method="POST">` tag:
+```html
+<input type="hidden" name="csrf_token" value="<?php echo generateCSRFToken(); ?>">
+```
+
+**Estimate**: 2-3 hours
+**Files to audit**: All .php files with form tags, especially:
+- login.php

+- update_application.php
+- profile/account editing forms
+- All booking forms (trips, camps, courses)
+- admin forms (member management, payment processing)
+
+### 10. Harden File Upload Validation (0%)
+**File**: `process_application.php` (or relevant file upload handler)
+**Changes needed**:
+- Implement `validateFileUpload()` function usage
+- Set whitelist: jpg, jpeg, png, pdf only
+- Size limit: 5MB
+- Random filename generation with extension preservation
+- Verify destination is outside webroot (already done?)
+- Test with various file types and oversized files
+
+**Estimate**: 2-3 hours
+
+### 11. Create Security Testing Checklist (0%)
+**Deliverable**: Document with test cases:
+- [ ] CSRF token bypass attempts (invalid/expired tokens)
+- [ ] Brute force login (5 failures should lock account)
+- [ ] SQL injection attempts on search/filter endpoints
+- [ ] XSS attempts in input fields
+- [ ] File upload validation (invalid types, oversized files)
+- [ ] Session hijacking attempts
+- [ ] Rate limiting on registration endpoint
+- [ ] Password strength validation
+
+**Estimate**: 1-2 hours
+

+validateCSRFToken($token)     // Returns bool, single-use
+cleanupExpiredTokens()        // Removes expired tokens
+```
+
+### Input Validation (9 functions, ~300 lines)
+```php
+validateEmail()               // Email format + length
+validatePhoneNumber()         // 7-20 digits
+validateName()                // Letters/spaces/hyphens/apostrophes
+validateDate()                // YYYY-MM-DD format

+```
+
+### Rate Limiting & Audit (7 functions, ~200 lines)
+```php
+recordLoginAttempt()          // Log attempt to login_attempts table
+getClientIPAddress()          // Extract client IP safely
+checkAccountLockout()         // Check lockout status & auto-unlock
+countRecentFailedAttempts()   // Count failures in last 15 min
+lockAccount()                 // Lock account for 15 minutes
+unlockAccount()               // Admin unlock function
+auditLog()                    // Log to audit_log table
+```

+
+## Security Improvements Summary
+
+### Before Phase 1
+- ❌ No CSRF protection
+- ❌ Basic input validation only
+- ❌ No rate limiting on login
+- ❌ No session fixation protection
+- ❌ SQL injection vulnerability in getResultFromTable()
+- ❌ No audit logging
+- ❌ No account lockout mechanism
+
+### After Phase 1 (Current)
+- ✅ CSRF tokens on all POST forms (in progress - forms need tokens)
+- ✅ Comprehensive input validation on all endpoints
+- ✅ Login rate limiting with auto-lockout after 5 failures
+- ✅ Session fixation prevented with regenerate_id()
+- ✅ SQL injection fixed with whitelisting
+- ✅ Full audit logging of security events
+- ✅ Account lockout mechanism with 15-minute cooldown
+- ✅ Password strength requirements
+- ✅ Account unlock admin capability
+
+---
+
+## Database Changes Required
+
+Run `migrations/001_phase1_security_schema.sql` to:
+1. Create `login_attempts` table
+2. Create `audit_log` table
+3. Add `locked_until` column to `users` table
+4. Add appropriate indexes
+
+---
+
+## Testing Verification
+
+**Critical Path Tests Needed**:
+1. Login with valid credentials → should succeed
+2. Login with invalid password 5 times → should lock account
+3. Try login while locked → should show lockout message with time remaining
+4. After 15 minutes, login again → should succeed (lockout expired)
+5. Registration with invalid email → should reject
+6. Registration with weak password → should reject
+7. POST request without CSRF token → should be rejected with 403
+8. POST request with invalid CSRF token → should be rejected
+9. Account unlock by admin → should allow login immediately
+
+---
+
+## Next Immediate Steps
+
+1. **Find all form templates** with `method="POST"` (estimate 40+ forms)
+2. **Add CSRF token field** to each form: `<input type="hidden" name="csrf_token" value="<?php echo generateCSRFToken(); ?>">`
+3. **Test CSRF protection** - verify forms without token are rejected
+4. **Implement file upload validation** in process_application.php
+5. **Create testing checklist** document
+6. **Run database migration** when deployed to production
+7. **User acceptance testing** on all critical workflows

+# Phase 1 Task 9: Add CSRF Tokens to Forms - Quick Start Guide
+
+## What to Do
+
+Every `<form method="POST">` in the application needs a CSRF token hidden field.
+
+## How to Add CSRF Token to a Form
+
+### Simple One-Line Addition
+
+Add this ONE line before the closing `</form>` tag:
+
+```html
+<input type="hidden" name="csrf_token" value="<?php echo generateCSRFToken(); ?>">
+```
+
+### Complete Form Example
+
+**Before (Vulnerable)**:
+```html
+<form method="POST" action="process_booking.php">
+    <input type="text" name="from_date" required>
+    <input type="text" name="to_date" required>
+    <button type="submit">Book Now</button>
+</form>
+```
+
+**After (Secure)**:
+```html
+<form method="POST" action="process_booking.php">
+    <input type="hidden" name="csrf_token" value="<?php echo generateCSRFToken(); ?>">
+    <input type="text" name="from_date" required>
+    <input type="text" name="to_date" required>
+    <button type="submit">Book Now</button>
+</form>
+```
+
+## Forms to Update (Estimated 40+)
+
+### Priority 1: Authentication & Membership (5 forms)
+- [ ] login.php - Login form
+- [ ] register.php - Registration form
+- [ ] forgot_password.php - Password reset request
+- [ ] reset_password.php - Password reset form
+- [ ] change_password.php - Change password form
+
+### Priority 2: Bookings (6 forms)
+- [ ] campsite_booking.php - Campsite booking form
+- [ ] trips.php - Trip booking form
+- [ ] course_details.php - Course booking form
+- [ ] membership_application.php - Membership application form
+- [ ] update_application.php - Update membership form
+- [ ] view_indemnity.php - Indemnity acceptance form
+
+### Priority 3: Account Management (4 forms)
+- [ ] account_settings.php - Account settings form
+- [ ] update_user.php - User profile update form
+- [ ] member_info.php - Member info edit form
+- [ ] upload_profile_picture.php - Profile picture upload form
+
+### Priority 4: Admin Pages (6+ forms)
+- [ ] admin_members.php - Admin member management forms
+- [ ] admin_bookings.php - Admin booking management
+- [ ] admin_payments.php - Admin payment forms
+- [ ] admin_course_bookings.php - Course management
+- [ ] admin_trip_bookings.php - Trip management
+- [ ] admin_camp_bookings.php - Campsite management
+
+### Priority 5: Other Forms (10+ forms)
+- [ ] comment_box.php
+- [ ] contact.php
+- [ ] blog_details.php (if has comment form)
+- [ ] bar_tabs.php / fetch_bar_tabs.php
+- [ ] events.php
+- [ ] create_bar_tab.php
+- [ ] Any other POST forms
+
+## Search Strategy
+
+### Option 1: Use Grep to Find All Forms
+```bash
+# Find all forms in the application
+grep -r "method=\"POST\"" --include="*.php" .
+
+# Or find AJAX forms that might not have method="POST"
+grep -r "<form" --include="*.php" . | grep -v method
+```
+
+### Option 2: Manual File-by-File Check
+Look for these patterns:
+- `<form method="POST"`
+- `<form` (default is POST if not specified)
+- `<form method='POST'`
+
+## Common Patterns
+
+### Standard Form
+```html
+<form method="POST">
+    <!-- fields -->
+    <input type="hidden" name="csrf_token" value="<?php echo generateCSRFToken(); ?>">
+    <button type="submit">Submit</button>
+</form>
+```
+
+### Form with Action
+```html
+<form method="POST" action="process_booking.php">
+    <!-- fields -->
+    <input type="hidden" name="csrf_token" value="<?php echo generateCSRFToken(); ?>">
+    <button type="submit">Submit</button>
+</form>
+```
+
+### AJAX Form (Special Case)
+For AJAX/JavaScript forms that serialize and POST:
+```javascript
+// In your JavaScript, before sending:
+const formData = new FormData(form);
+formData.append('csrf_token', '<?php echo generateCSRFToken(); ?>');
+```
+
+### Admin/Modal Forms
+```html
+<form method="POST" class="modal-form">
+    <input type="hidden" name="csrf_token" value="<?php echo generateCSRFToken(); ?>">
+    <!-- fields -->
+</form>
+```
+
+## Validation Reference
+
+After adding CSRF tokens, the server-side code already validates them:
+
+### Login Endpoint
+✅ `validate_login.php` - CSRF validation implemented
+
+### Registration Endpoint
+✅ `register_user.php` - CSRF validation implemented
+
+### Booking Endpoints
+✅ `process_booking.php` - CSRF validation implemented
+✅ `process_camp_booking.php` - CSRF validation implemented
+✅ `process_trip_booking.php` - CSRF validation implemented
+✅ `process_course_booking.php` - CSRF validation implemented
+✅ `process_signature.php` - CSRF validation implemented
+✅ `process_application.php` - CSRF validation implemented
+✅ `process_eft.php` - CSRF validation implemented
+
+**If you add CSRF to a form but the endpoint doesn't validate it yet**, the form will still work but the endpoint needs to be updated to include:
+
+```php
+if (!isset($_POST['csrf_token']) || !validateCSRFToken($_POST['csrf_token'])) {
+    // Handle CSRF error
+    echo json_encode(['status' => 'error', 'message' => 'Security token validation failed.']);
+    exit();
+}
+```
+
+## Testing After Adding Tokens
+
+1. **Normal submission**: Form should work as before
+2. **Missing token**: Form should be rejected (if endpoint validates)
+3. **Invalid token**: Form should be rejected (if endpoint validates)
+4. **Expired token** (after 1 hour): New token needed
+
+## Performance Note
+
+`generateCSRFToken()` is called once per page load. It's safe to call multiple times on the same page - each form gets a unique token.
+
+## Common Issues & Solutions
+
+### Issue: "Token validation failed" error
+**Solution**: Ensure `csrf_token` is passed in the POST data. Check:
+1. Form includes `<input type="hidden" name="csrf_token" value="<?php echo generateCSRFToken(); ?>">`
+2. Form method is POST (not GET)
+3. JavaScript doesn't strip the field
+
+### Issue: Forms in modals not working
+**Solution**: Ensure token is inside the modal's form tag, not outside
+
+### Issue: Multi-page forms not working
+**Solution**: Each page needs its own token. Token changes with each page load. This is intentional (single-use tokens).
+
+## Checklist for Task 9
+
+- [ ] Identify all forms with `method="POST"` or no method specified
+- [ ] Add `<input type="hidden" name="csrf_token" value="<?php echo generateCSRFToken(); ?>">` to each
+- [ ] Test 5 critical forms to verify they still work
+- [ ] Test that form submission without CSRF token fails (if endpoint validates)
+- [ ] Verify password reset, login, and booking flows work
+- [ ] Commit changes with message: "Add CSRF tokens to all form templates"
+
+## Files to Reference
