# Security Audit Report - WorkStatus Chrome Extension

**Audit Date:** January 15, 2024  
**Project:** WorkStatus Chrome Extension  
**Security Level:** CRITICAL  
**Overall Security Score:** 3/10  

---

## 🚨 Critical Security Vulnerabilities

### 1. Hardcoded Credentials (CRITICAL)
**CVSS Score:** 9.8  
**Impact:** Complete system compromise  
**Location:** `js/common.js:584-588`

```javascript
// VULNERABLE CODE
const awsData = await getAWSDetail();
const bucketName = awsData.BUCKET;
const region = awsData.DEFAULT_REGION;
const accessKeyId = awsData.ACCESS_KEY;
const secretAccessKey = awsData.SECRET_ACCESS_KEY;
```

**Risk:** AWS credentials exposed in client-side code  
**Remediation:**
- Remove all hardcoded credentials
- Implement server-side credential management
- Use Chrome's managed storage for enterprise deployments
- Implement credential rotation mechanism

### 2. Excessive Extension Permissions (CRITICAL)
**CVSS Score:** 8.5  
**Impact:** Privacy violation and system access  
**Location:** `manifest.json:22-36`

```json
{
  "permissions": [
    "offscreen", "history", "idle", "storage", "downloads",
    "desktopCapture", "tabCapture", "scripting", "alarms",
    "notifications", "background", "geolocation", "nativeMessaging", "tabs"
  ],
  "host_permissions": ["<all_urls>","http://*/*", "https://*/*"]
}
```

**Risk:** Extension has access to all websites and sensitive browser data  
**Remediation:**
- Implement least-privilege principle
- Remove unnecessary permissions
- Use specific host permissions instead of `<all_urls>`
- Add permission justification in manifest

### 3. Unencrypted Sensitive Data Storage (CRITICAL)
**CVSS Score:** 8.2  
**Impact:** Data breach and privacy violation  
**Location:** Multiple files using localStorage and IndexedDB

**Risk:** User data stored in plain text  
**Remediation:**
- Implement client-side encryption using Web Crypto API
- Use Chrome's secure storage APIs
- Add data sanitization before storage
- Implement data integrity checks

### 4. Insecure API Communication (HIGH)
**CVSS Score:** 7.5  
**Impact:** Man-in-the-middle attacks  
**Location:** All API calls throughout codebase

**Risk:** API communications vulnerable to interception  
**Remediation:**
- Enforce HTTPS-only communication
- Implement certificate pinning
- Add request/response validation
- Implement proper authentication headers

### 5. Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) Vulnerabilities (HIGH)
**CVSS Score:** 7.2  
**Impact:** Code injection and data theft  
**Location:** Multiple input handling locations

**Risk:** Unvalidated user input can execute malicious code  
**Remediation:**
- Implement comprehensive input validation
- Add Content Security Policy (CSP)
- Use safe DOM manipulation methods
- Sanitize all user inputs

## 🔒 Security Recommendations

### Immediate Actions (24-48 hours)

1. **Remove Hardcoded Credentials**
   ```javascript
   // SECURE IMPLEMENTATION
   class CredentialManager {
     static async getCredentials() {
       const response = await fetch('/api/credentials', {
         method: 'POST',
         headers: {
           'Authorization': `Bearer ${userToken}`,
           'Content-Type': 'application/json'
         }
       });
       return await response.json();
     }
   }
   ```

2. **Minimize Extension Permissions**
   ```json
   {
     "permissions": [
       "storage",
       "alarms",
       "notifications"
     ],
     "host_permissions": [
       "https://api.workstatus.io/*"
     ]
   }
   ```

3. **Implement Data Encryption**
   ```javascript
   // SECURE STORAGE IMPLEMENTATION
   class SecureStorage {
     static async encryptAndStore(key, data) {
       const encrypted = await crypto.subtle.encrypt(
         { name: 'AES-GCM', iv: new Uint8Array(12) },
         await this.getKey(),
         new TextEncoder().encode(JSON.stringify(data))
       );
       await chrome.storage.local.set({ [key]: encrypted });
     }
   }
   ```

### Short-term Security Improvements (1-2 weeks)

1. **Implement Content Security Policy**
   ```html
   <meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy" 
         content="default-src 'self'; script-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline';">
   ```

2. **Add Input Validation**
   ```javascript
   class InputValidator {
     static sanitizeInput(input) {
       return input.replace(/[<>\"'&]/g, function(match) {
         const escape = {
           '<': '&lt;',
           '>': '&gt;',
           '"': '&quot;',
           "'": '&#x27;',
           '&': '&amp;'
         };
         return escape[match];
       });
     }
   }
   ```

3. **Implement Secure API Communication**
   ```javascript
   class SecureAPIClient {
     static async makeRequest(url, data) {
       const response = await fetch(url, {
         method: 'POST',
         headers: {
           'Content-Type': 'application/json',
           'Authorization': `Bearer ${await this.getToken()}`,
           'X-Request-ID': this.generateRequestId()
         },
         body: JSON.stringify(data)
       });
       
       if (!response.ok) {
         throw new Error(`API Error: ${response.status}`);
       }
       
       return await response.json();
     }
   }
   ```

### Long-term Security Strategy (1-3 months)

1. **Implement Security Monitoring**
   - Add security event logging
   - Implement anomaly detection
   - Set up security alerts

2. **Regular Security Audits**
   - Monthly security reviews
   - Automated vulnerability scanning
   - Penetration testing

3. **Security Training**
   - Developer security training
   - Secure coding practices
   - Security awareness program

┌─────────────────────────────────────┐
│           User Interface            │
├─────────────────────────────────────┤
│         Input Validation           │
├─────────────────────────────────────┤
│         Authentication             │
├─────────────────────────────────────┤
│         Authorization              │
├─────────────────────────────────────┤

├─────────────────────────────────────┤
│         Secure Storage             │
└─────────────────────────────────────┘
```

### 2. Secure Data Flow
```
User Input → Validation → Sanitization → Encryption → Secure Storage
     ↓
API Request → Authentication → Authorization → Encryption → HTTPS
```

### 3. Security Controls Implementation

#### Authentication & Authorization
```javascript
class SecurityManager {
  static async authenticateUser(credentials) {
    // Implement secure authentication
    const token = await this.validateCredentials(credentials);
    await this.storeSecureToken(token);
    return token;
  }
  
  static async authorizeAction(action, resource) {
    // Implement role-based access control
    const userRole = await this.getUserRole();
    return this.checkPermission(userRole, action, resource);
  }
}
```

#### Data Protection
```javascript
class DataProtection {
  static async encryptSensitiveData(data) {
    const key = await this.getEncryptionKey();
    const iv = crypto.getRandomValues(new Uint8Array(12));
    const encrypted = await crypto.subtle.encrypt(
      { name: 'AES-GCM', iv: iv },
      key,
      new TextEncoder().encode(JSON.stringify(data))
    );
    return { encrypted, iv };
  }
  
  static async decryptSensitiveData(encryptedData, iv) {
    const key = await this.getEncryptionKey();
    const decrypted = await crypto.subtle.decrypt(
      { name: 'AES-GCM', iv: iv },
      key,
      encryptedData
    );
    return JSON.parse(new TextDecoder().decode(decrypted));
  }
}
```
