|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Remaining Tasks ⏳
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 9. Add CSRF Tokens to Form Templates (0% - NEXT)
|
||||||
|
**Scope**: ~40+ forms across application

|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Estimate**: 2-3 hours
|
||||||
|
**Files to audit**: All .php files with form tags, especially:
|
||||||
|
- login.php
|
||||||
|
- register.php
|
||||||
|
- membership_application.php
|
||||||
|
- update_application.php
|
||||||
|
- profile/account editing forms

||||||
|
**Estimate**: 2-3 hours
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 11. Create Security Testing Checklist (0%)

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## 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>
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

## 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"
|
||||||
