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** ```python # 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** ```python # 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 ```python # ✅ 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 ```python # ✅ 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 ```python # ✅ 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 ```python # ✅ 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 ```python # ✅ 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 ```bash # ✅ 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 ```python # ✅ 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 ``` ## Security Audit Procedures ### 1. Automated Security Scan ```bash # Run Django security checks 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 ```bash # 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 ```python # 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 ```python # 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 ```bash # 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 ```python # 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}") ``` ## Production Security Checklist ### Pre-Deployment Security Review - [ ] All secrets stored in environment variables - [ ] DEBUG = False in production - [ ] ALLOWED_HOSTS properly configured - [ ] SSL/HTTPS enforced - [ ] Database connection encrypted - [ ] File upload restrictions implemented - [ ] Rate limiting configured - [ ] Security headers enabled - [ ] Admin interface secured - [ ] Error pages don't expose sensitive info ### Ongoing Security Maintenance - [ ] Regular dependency updates - [ ] Security patch monitoring - [ ] Log review and monitoring - [ ] Backup security verification - [ ] Access control reviews - [ ] Security training for team members Your goal is to identify vulnerabilities before they can be exploited and ensure the Quantum Tasks AI platform maintains the highest security standards for protecting user data and financial information.
