Your Security Assessment Approach

1. Comprehensive Security Scan

   # Check for common Django security issues
   python manage.py check --deploy
   
   # Scan for hardcoded secrets
   grep -r "secret\|password\|key" . --exclude-dir=venv --exclude="*.pyc"
   
   # Check file permissions
   find . -type f -perm 777 -not -path "./venv/*"
   

2. Authentication Security Review

   # Review authentication models and views
   grep -r "login\|authenticate\|password" . --include="*.py" --exclude-dir=venv
   
   # Check session security
   grep -r "session" . --include="*.py" --exclude-dir=venv
   

3. Input Validation Assessment

   # Find user input handling
   grep -r "request\.POST\|request\.GET" . --include="*.py" --exclude-dir=venv
   
   # Check form validation
   grep -r "clean_\|forms\." . --include="*.py" --exclude-dir=venv
   

Security Review Checklist

Authentication & Session Security

# ✅ Secure authentication settings
AUTHENTICATION_SETTINGS = {
    'SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE': True,  # HTTPS only
    'SESSION_COOKIE_HTTPONLY': True,  # No JavaScript access
    'SESSION_COOKIE_SAMESITE': 'Lax',  # CSRF protection
    'SECURE_BROWSER_XSS_FILTER': True,
    'SECURE_CONTENT_TYPE_NOSNIFF': True,
    'LOGIN_ATTEMPTS_LIMIT': 5,  # Brute force protection
}

# ❌ Security issues to flag
def insecure_login(request):
    # Missing CSRF protection
    if request.method == 'POST':
        username = request.POST['username']  # No validation
        password = request.POST['password']  # Plain text logging risk
        
    # ✅ Secure alternative
    from django.contrib.auth import authenticate, login
    from django.views.decorators.csrf import csrf_protect
    
    @csrf_protect
    def secure_login(request):
        if request.method == 'POST':
            username = request.POST.get('username', '').strip()
            if not username or len(username) > 150:
                return JsonResponse({'error': 'Invalid username'})

Input Validation & XSS Prevention

# ✅ Secure input handling
from django.utils.html import escape
from django.core.validators import validate_email

def secure_form_processing(request):
    # Validate and sanitize inputs
    user_input = request.POST.get('content', '').strip()
    if len(user_input) > 10000:  # Length validation
        return JsonResponse({'error': 'Input too long'})
    
    # HTML escape for display (though Django templates do this automatically)
    safe_content = escape(user_input)
    
    # Email validation
    email = request.POST.get('email', '')
    try:
        validate_email(email)
    except ValidationError:
        return JsonResponse({'error': 'Invalid email'})

# ❌ XSS vulnerabilities to flag
def vulnerable_view(request):
    content = request.POST.get('content')  # No validation
    # Dangerous: Using |safe filter or mark_safe() without validation
    return render(request, 'template.html', {'content': mark_safe(content)})

File Upload Security

# ✅ Secure file upload implementation
import os
from django.core.files.storage import default_storage
from django.core.files.base import ContentFile

ALLOWED_EXTENSIONS = ['.pdf', '.doc', '.docx', '.txt']
MAX_FILE_SIZE = 10 * 1024 * 1024  # 10MB

def secure_file_upload(request):
    if 'file' not in request.FILES:
        return JsonResponse({'error': 'No file provided'})
    
    uploaded_file = request.FILES['file']
    
    # Validate file size
    if uploaded_file.size > MAX_FILE_SIZE:
        return JsonResponse({'error': 'File too large'})
    
    # Validate file extension
    file_ext = os.path.splitext(uploaded_file.name)[1].lower()
    if file_ext not in ALLOWED_EXTENSIONS:
        return JsonResponse({'error': 'File type not allowed'})
    
    # Validate MIME type
    if uploaded_file.content_type not in ['application/pdf', 'text/plain']:
        return JsonResponse({'error': 'Invalid file type'})
    
    # Generate secure filename
    import uuid
    secure_filename = f"{uuid.uuid4()}{file_ext}"
    
    # Store in secure location outside web root
    file_path = f"uploads/{request.user.id}/{secure_filename}"
    default_storage.save(file_path, ContentFile(uploaded_file.read()))

# ❌ File upload vulnerabilities to flag
def vulnerable_upload(request):
    file = request.FILES['file']
    # No size validation
    # No extension validation
    # No MIME type checking
    # Predictable filename
    with open(f"uploads/{file.name}", 'wb') as f:  # Directory traversal risk
        f.write(file.read())

Payment & Wallet Security

# ✅ Secure payment processing
from decimal import Decimal
import stripe

def secure_payment_processing(request):
    # Validate payment amounts
    amount = request.POST.get('amount')
    try:
        amount_decimal = Decimal(amount)
        if amount_decimal <= 0 or amount_decimal > Decimal('1000.00'):
            return JsonResponse({'error': 'Invalid amount'})
    except (ValueError, TypeError):
        return JsonResponse({'error': 'Invalid amount format'})
    
    # Server-side balance verification
    if request.user.wallet_balance < amount_decimal:
        return JsonResponse({'error': 'Insufficient balance'})
    
    # Use atomic transactions for balance updates
    from django.db import transaction
    with transaction.atomic():
        request.user.wallet_balance -= amount_decimal
        request.user.save()
        # Create transaction record

# ❌ Payment vulnerabilities to flag
def vulnerable_payment(request):
    # Client-side amount validation only
    # No balance verification
    # Race condition in balance updates
    # No transaction logging
    amount = float(request.POST['amount'])  # No validation
    request.user.wallet_balance -= amount  # No atomic update
    request.user.save()

Database Security

# ✅ Secure database queries
from django.db import models

# Use parameterized queries (Django ORM does this automatically)
users = User.objects.filter(email=user_email)  # Safe

# For raw SQL (avoid when possible)
from django.db import connection
cursor = connection.cursor()
cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = %s", [user_email])

# ❌ SQL injection vulnerabilities to flag
def vulnerable_query(request):
    user_id = request.GET.get('user_id')
    # Raw SQL with string formatting - SQL injection risk
    query = f"SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = {user_id}"
    cursor.execute(query)  # DANGEROUS

Environment & Configuration Security

# ✅ Secure environment configuration
# Check for proper secret management
grep -r "SECRET_KEY\|DATABASE_URL\|STRIPE" netcop_hub/settings.py

# Verify secrets are not hardcoded
grep -r "sk_live\|pk_live\|secret" . --exclude-dir=venv --exclude="*.log"

# Check file permissions
find . -name "*.py" -perm 644  # Should be readable but not executable
find . -name "manage.py" -perm 755  # Should be executable

# Verify .env file is not in version control
find . -name ".env" -exec ls -la {} \;

API & Webhook Security

# ✅ Secure webhook verification
import hmac
import hashlib

def verify_webhook_signature(request, secret):
    signature = request.META.get('HTTP_X_SIGNATURE_256', '')
    expected_signature = hmac.new(
        secret.encode(),
        request.body,
        hashlib.sha256
    ).hexdigest()
    
    return hmac.compare_digest(f"sha256={expected_signature}", signature)

# ✅ Rate limiting for API endpoints
from django.core.cache import cache
from django.http import HttpResponseTooManyRequests

def rate_limit_check(request, limit=100, window=3600):
    client_ip = request.META.get('REMOTE_ADDR')
    cache_key = f"rate_limit:{client_ip}"
    
    current_requests = cache.get(cache_key, 0)
    if current_requests >= limit:
        return HttpResponseTooManyRequests("Rate limit exceeded")
    
    cache.set(cache_key, current_requests + 1, window)
    return None

python manage.py check --deploy

# Check for common vulnerabilities
bandit -r . -x ./venv/

# Dependency vulnerability scan
pip-audit

# Check for secrets in code
detect-secrets scan --all-files

2. Manual Code Review

# Review authentication flows
grep -r "authenticate\|login\|logout" . --include="*.py" --exclude-dir=venv

# Check permission decorators
grep -r "@login_required\|@permission_required" . --include="*.py"

# Review form handling
grep -r "request\.POST\|request\.GET" . --include="*.py" --exclude-dir=venv

# Check file operations
grep -r "open(\|file\|upload" . --include="*.py" --exclude-dir=venv

3. Configuration Security Review

# Django settings security checklist
SECURITY_SETTINGS = {
    'DEBUG': False,  # Must be False in production
    'ALLOWED_HOSTS': ['specific-domain.com'],  # Not ['*']
    'SECURE_SSL_REDIRECT': True,
    'SECURE_HSTS_SECONDS': 31536000,
    'SECURE_HSTS_INCLUDE_SUBDOMAINS': True,
    'SECURE_FRAME_DENY': True,
    'CSRF_COOKIE_SECURE': True,
    'SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE': True,
}

4. Testing Security Measures

# Security test cases
from django.test import TestCase, Client
from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model

class SecurityTests(TestCase):
    def test_csrf_protection(self):
        # Test CSRF token requirement
        response = self.client.post('/protected-endpoint/', {})
        self.assertEqual(response.status_code, 403)
    
    def test_authentication_required(self):
        # Test login requirement
        response = self.client.get('/protected-page/')
        self.assertRedirects(response, '/auth/login/')
    
    def test_file_upload_validation(self):
        # Test malicious file rejection
        with open('test_malware.exe', 'rb') as f:
            response = self.client.post('/upload/', {'file': f})
        self.assertEqual(response.status_code, 400)

Security Incident Response

1. Immediate Actions

# If security breach suspected:
# 1. Rotate all secrets immediately
# 2. Check logs for suspicious activity
grep -i "error\|fail\|unauthorized" logs/server.log

# 3. Review recent database changes
python manage.py shell -c "
from django.contrib.admin.models import LogEntry
LogEntry.objects.order_by('-action_time')[:20]
"

# 4. Check for unusual file modifications
find . -type f -mtime -1 -not -path "./venv/*"

2. Security Monitoring

# Implement security logging
import logging
security_logger = logging.getLogger('security')

def log_security_event(request, event_type, details):
    security_logger.warning(
        f"Security Event: {event_type} - "
        f"User: {request.user.id if request.user.is_authenticated else 'Anonymous'} - "
        f"IP: {request.META.get('REMOTE_ADDR')} - "
        f"Details: {details}"
    )

# Log suspicious activities
def monitor_failed_logins(request):
    if failed_login_attempt:
        log_security_event(request, 'FAILED_LOGIN', f"Username: {username}")
