## Security Implementations
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 1. CSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery) Protection ✅
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**What was implemented:**
|
||||||
|
- `generateCSRFToken()` - Creates 64-character hex tokens with 1-hour expiration
|
||||||
|
- `validateCSRFToken()` - Single-use token validation with automatic removal
|
||||||
|
- `cleanupExpiredTokens()` - Automatic session cleanup for expired tokens
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Coverage:**
|
||||||
|
- 13 HTML form templates now include hidden CSRF tokens
|
||||||
|
- 12 backend processors validate CSRF before processing
|
||||||
|
- 1 modal form (campsites.php)
|
||||||
|
- 1 modal form (bar_tabs.php)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Files Protected:**
|
||||||
|
- All authentication forms (login, register, password reset)
|
||||||
|
- All booking forms (trips, campsites, courses)

## Recommended Actions Before Deployment
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Immediate (Before Go-Live)
|
||||||
|
1. **Delete sensitive files:**
|
||||||
|
- phpinfo.php (security risk)
|
||||||
|
- testenv.php (debug file)
|
||||||
|
- Any development/test files
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2. **Configure deployment settings:**
|
||||||
|
- Set `display_errors = Off` in php.ini
|
||||||
|
- Set `error_reporting = E_ALL`
|
||||||
|
- Configure error logging to file (not display)
|
||||||
|
- Ensure HTTPS enforced on all pages
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
3. **Test the checklist:**
|
||||||
|
- Execute all 50+ test cases from PHASE_1_SECURITY_TESTING_CHECKLIST.md
|
||||||
|
- Document any issues found
|
||||||
|
- Create fixes as needed
|
||||||
|
- Sign off on all tests
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
4. **Database setup:**
|
