CRITICAL Findings

🔴 CRITICAL-01: Server Actions Lack Authentication Validation

Category: Broken Access Control (OWASP A01) CWE: CWE-862 (Missing Authorization)

Issue: All Server Actions ('use server' functions) execute without verifying that the caller is authenticated. While serverFetch includes authentication headers, there's no explicit check preventing unauthenticated calls from being executed if the backend doesn't validate properly.

Affected Files:

• /src/components/accounting/VendorManagement/actions.ts (lines 158-211)
• /src/components/settings/PermissionManagement/actions.ts (lines 12-139)
• /src/lib/permissions/actions.ts (lines 36-58)
• All 93 actions.ts files identified by Grep

Vulnerable Pattern:

// ❌ VULNERABLE: No authentication check
export async function deleteClient(id: string): Promise<ActionResult> {
  return executeServerAction({
    url: `${API_URL}/api/v1/clients/${id}`,
    method: 'DELETE',
    errorMessage: '거래처 삭제에 실패했습니다.',
  });
}

// ❌ Can be called directly from client without verification
export async function deleteRole(id: number): Promise<ActionResult> {
  const result = await executeServerAction({
    url: `${API_URL}/api/v1/roles/${id}`,
    method: 'DELETE',
    errorMessage: '역할 삭제에 실패했습니다.',
  });
  if (result.success) revalidatePath('/settings/permissions');
  return result;
}

Attack Scenario:

// Attacker can call Server Actions directly from browser console
import { deleteRole } from '@/components/settings/PermissionManagement/actions';

// If backend validation is weak, this could succeed
await deleteRole(1); // Delete admin role

Impact:

• Unauthenticated users could invoke sensitive operations if backend doesn't validate tokens properly
• Defense-in-depth principle violated (frontend should also verify auth)
• IDOR possible: User A could access/modify User B's data by calling actions with different IDs

Recommendation:

// ✅ SECURE: Add auth check in Server Action
import { cookies } from 'next/headers';

export async function deleteRole(id: number): Promise<ActionResult> {
  // 1. Verify authentication
  const cookieStore = await cookies();
  const accessToken = cookieStore.get('access_token')?.value;
  const refreshToken = cookieStore.get('refresh_token')?.value;

  if (!accessToken && !refreshToken) {
    return {
      success: false,
      error: 'Unauthorized',
      __authError: true
    };
  }

  // 2. Optionally verify role/permissions
  // (if backend doesn't handle this properly)

  const result = await executeServerAction({
    url: `${API_URL}/api/v1/roles/${id}`,
    method: 'DELETE',
    errorMessage: '역할 삭제에 실패했습니다.',
  });

  if (result.success) revalidatePath('/settings/permissions');
  return result;
}

CVSS Score: 9.1 (Critical) Fix Priority: IMMEDIATE

🔴 CRITICAL-02: No Role/Permission Validation in Server Actions

Category: Broken Access Control (OWASP A01) CWE: CWE-285 (Improper Authorization)

Issue: Server Actions don't validate user roles/permissions before executing sensitive operations. The system relies entirely on backend validation.

Affected Files:

• /src/components/settings/PermissionManagement/actions.ts (allowAllPermissions, denyAllPermissions)
• /src/components/settings/AccountManagement/actions.ts (user account operations)
• /src/components/accounting/VendorManagement/actions.ts (vendor deletion)

Vulnerable Code:

// ❌ No permission check before allowing ALL permissions
export async function allowAllPermissions(roleId: number): Promise<ActionResult<{ count: number }>> {
  return rolePermissionAction(roleId, 'allow-all', '전체 허용에 실패했습니다.');
}

// ❌ Any authenticated user could potentially call this
export async function deleteClient(id: string): Promise<ActionResult> {
  return executeServerAction({
    url: `${API_URL}/api/v1/clients/${id}`,
    method: 'DELETE',
    errorMessage: '거래처 삭제에 실패했습니다.',
  });
}

Attack Scenario:

1. Regular user (non-admin) logs in
2. Discovers Server Action from browser DevTools/source maps
3. Calls allowAllPermissions(1) to escalate their own role
4. Calls deleteClient('123') to delete competitor vendor data

Impact:

• Privilege escalation if backend validation is weak
• Unauthorized data modification/deletion
• Compliance violations (SOC2, GDPR audit trail)

Recommendation:

// ✅ Add role validation
import { getUserRole } from '@/lib/auth/get-user-role';

export async function allowAllPermissions(roleId: number): Promise<ActionResult<{ count: number }>> {
  // 1. Check user has admin/permission-manager role
  const userRole = await getUserRole();
  if (!userRole || !['admin', 'permission-manager'].includes(userRole)) {
    return {
      success: false,
      error: '권한이 없습니다. 관리자만 실행 가능합니다.',
    };
  }

  // 2. Log sensitive action
  console.log(`[AUDIT] ${userRole} allowing all permissions for role ${roleId}`);

  return rolePermissionAction(roleId, 'allow-all', '전체 허용에 실패했습니다.');
}

CVSS Score: 8.8 (High → Critical due to permission escalation) Fix Priority: IMMEDIATE

🔴 CRITICAL-03: Path Traversal Risk in API Proxy

Category: Injection (OWASP A03) CWE: CWE-22 (Path Traversal)

Issue: The API proxy (/api/proxy/[...path]/route.ts) constructs backend URLs by joining user-supplied path segments without validation. Although Next.js encodes URL segments, there's no explicit validation against path traversal attempts.

Affected File: /src/app/api/proxy/[...path]/route.ts (line 101)

Vulnerable Code:

// ❌ No validation on path segments
const backendUrl = `${process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL}/api/v1/${params.path.join('/')}`;

Attack Scenario:

// Attacker attempts path traversal
fetch('/api/proxy/../../../etc/passwd');
fetch('/api/proxy/users/..%2F..%2Fadmin/secrets');

Current Mitigation:

• Next.js automatically normalizes and validates route parameters
• Segments like .. are encoded/rejected by Next.js router
• Backend URL construction is safe if Next.js handles this correctly

Recommendation (Defense in Depth):

// ✅ Add explicit path validation
async function proxyRequest(
  request: NextRequest,
  params: { path: string[] },
  method: string
) {
  try {
    // 1. Validate path segments
    const invalidSegments = params.path.filter(segment =>
      segment.includes('..') ||
      segment.includes('%2e%2e') ||
      segment.includes('%252e') ||
      segment.startsWith('/')
    );

    if (invalidSegments.length > 0) {
      console.warn('[SECURITY] Path traversal attempt blocked:', params.path);
      return NextResponse.json(
        { error: 'Invalid path' },
        { status: 400 }
      );
    }

    // 2. Whitelist allowed API prefixes
    const allowedPrefixes = [
      'item-master',
      'clients',
      'approvals',
      'employees',
      // ... add all legitimate endpoints
    ];

    if (!allowedPrefixes.some(prefix => params.path[0] === prefix)) {
      console.warn('[SECURITY] Unauthorized endpoint access:', params.path[0]);
      return NextResponse.json(
        { error: 'Endpoint not allowed' },
        { status: 403 }
      );
    }

    const backendUrl = `${process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL}/api/v1/${params.path.join('/')}`;
    // ... rest of proxy logic

CVSS Score: 8.6 (High → Critical if backend has filesystem access) Fix Priority: HIGH

🔴 CRITICAL-04: Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) in Vendor/Client Operations

Category: Broken Access Control (OWASP A01) CWE: CWE-639 (Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key)

Issue: All data access operations use user-supplied IDs without verifying ownership or authorization. Example: getClientById(id) doesn't check if the current user has permission to view that specific client.

Affected Files:

• /src/components/accounting/VendorManagement/actions.ts
• /src/components/clients/actions.ts
• Most CRUD Server Actions

Vulnerable Code:

// ❌ No ownership/authorization check
export async function getClientById(id: string): Promise<Vendor | null> {
  const result = await executeServerAction({
    url: `${API_URL}/api/v1/clients/${id}`,
    transform: (data: ClientApiData) => transformApiToFrontend(data),
    errorMessage: '거래처 조회에 실패했습니다.',
  });
  return result.data || null;
}

Attack Scenario:

1. User A has access to Client ID 100
2. User A discovers they can access /clients/101/edit
3. User A iterates through IDs to access competitors' client data
4. User A modifies/deletes Client 101 (owned by User B)

Impact:

• Unauthorized data access across tenants/users
• Data modification/deletion of other users' records
• GDPR violation (accessing personal data without authorization)

Recommendation:

// ✅ Validate access before fetching
import { validateUserAccess } from '@/lib/auth/access-control';

export async function getClientById(id: string): Promise<Vendor | null> {
  // 1. Check if current user can access this client
  const canAccess = await validateUserAccess('clients', id);
  if (!canAccess) {
    console.warn(`[SECURITY] Unauthorized access attempt to client ${id}`);
    return null;
  }

  const result = await executeServerAction({
    url: `${API_URL}/api/v1/clients/${id}`,
    transform: (data: ClientApiData) => transformApiToFrontend(data),
    errorMessage: '거래처 조회에 실패했습니다.',
  });
  return result.data || null;
}

Note: This assumes the backend performs proper authorization. If backend validation is weak, this is CRITICAL.

CVSS Score: 8.1 (High) Fix Priority: HIGH

🔴 CRITICAL-05: No File Upload Validation in Server Actions

Category: Unrestricted File Upload (OWASP A04) CWE: CWE-434 (Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type)

Issue: The API proxy handles file uploads without validating file size, type, or content. While validation may exist on the backend, there's no frontend defense-in-depth.

Affected File: /src/app/api/proxy/[...path]/route.ts (lines 118-136)

Vulnerable Code:

// ❌ No file validation
else if (contentType.includes('multipart/form-data')) {
  isFormData = true;
  const originalFormData = await request.formData();
  const newFormData = new FormData();

  for (const [key, value] of originalFormData.entries()) {
    if (value instanceof File) {
      // ❌ No size check, no type validation
      newFormData.append(key, value, value.name);
    } else {
      newFormData.append(key, value);
    }
  }
  body = newFormData;
}

Attack Scenarios:

1. DoS via Large Files: Upload 10GB file → exhaust server memory
2. Malicious Extensions: Upload malware.exe.jpg → backend mishandles
3. Content-Type Mismatch: Upload PHP shell as image/png

Impact:

• Server memory exhaustion (DoS)
• Potential code execution if backend stores files in webroot
• Storage quota exhaustion

Recommendation:

// ✅ Add file validation
const MAX_FILE_SIZE = 50 * 1024 * 1024; // 50MB
const ALLOWED_TYPES = ['image/jpeg', 'image/png', 'application/pdf', 'application/msword'];

else if (contentType.includes('multipart/form-data')) {
  isFormData = true;
  const originalFormData = await request.formData();
  const newFormData = new FormData();

  for (const [key, value] of originalFormData.entries()) {
    if (value instanceof File) {
      // 1. Size check
      if (value.size > MAX_FILE_SIZE) {
        return NextResponse.json(
          { error: `파일 크기는 ${MAX_FILE_SIZE / 1024 / 1024}MB를 초과할 수 없습니다.` },
          { status: 413 }
        );
      }

      // 2. Type validation
      if (!ALLOWED_TYPES.includes(value.type)) {
        return NextResponse.json(
          { error: `허용되지 않는 파일 형식입니다: ${value.type}` },
          { status: 400 }
        );
      }

      // 3. Extension check
      const ext = value.name.split('.').pop()?.toLowerCase();
      const dangerousExts = ['exe', 'sh', 'bat', 'cmd', 'php', 'jsp', 'asp'];
      if (ext && dangerousExts.includes(ext)) {
        console.warn('[SECURITY] Dangerous file extension blocked:', value.name);
        return NextResponse.json(
          { error: '실행 파일은 업로드할 수 없습니다.' },
          { status: 400 }
        );
      }

      newFormData.append(key, value, value.name);
    } else {
      newFormData.append(key, value);
    }
  }
  body = newFormData;
}

HIGH Findings

🟠 HIGH-01: Token Refresh Race Condition

Category: Race Condition (CWE-362) CWE: CWE-362 (Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization)

Issue: While the system implements a 5-second cache for token refresh (/src/lib/api/refresh-token.ts), there's still a narrow race condition window where multiple simultaneous requests could trigger concurrent refresh attempts before the cache is populated.

Affected File: /src/lib/api/refresh-token.ts (lines 108-144)

Vulnerable Code:

// ⚠️ Race condition window between cache check and promise creation
export async function refreshAccessToken(
  refreshToken: string,
  caller: string = 'unknown'
): Promise<RefreshResult> {
  const cache = getRefreshCache();
  const now = Date.now();

  // 1. Cache check (RACE WINDOW HERE)
  if (cache.result && cache.result.success && now - cache.timestamp < REFRESH_CACHE_TTL) {
    return cache.result;
  }

  // 2. Ongoing check (RACE WINDOW HERE)
  if (cache.promise && !cache.result && now - cache.timestamp < REFRESH_CACHE_TTL) {
    return cache.promise;
  }

  // 3. New refresh (MULTIPLE REQUESTS CAN REACH HERE SIMULTANEOUSLY)
  cache.timestamp = now;
  cache.result = null;
  cache.promise = doRefreshToken(refreshToken).then(result => {
    cache.result = result;
    return result;
  });

  return cache.promise;
}

Race Condition Scenario:

Time  Request A              Request B              Request C
----  -------------------    -------------------    -------------------
T=0   Check cache (miss)
T=1                          Check cache (miss)
T=2   Create promise A
T=3                          Create promise B       Check cache (miss)
T=4                                                  Create promise C

Result: 3 concurrent refresh requests to backend → 2 refresh tokens become invalid

Impact:

• Refresh token invalidation (backend may reject reused tokens)
• User logout due to failed refresh
• Race between PROXY and serverFetch processes

Recommendation:

// ✅ Use proper mutex/lock
let refreshLock: Promise<RefreshResult> | null = null;

export async function refreshAccessToken(
  refreshToken: string,
  caller: string = 'unknown'
): Promise<RefreshResult> {
  const cache = getRefreshCache();
  const now = Date.now();

  // 1. Return cached result
  if (cache.result && cache.result.success && now - cache.timestamp < REFRESH_CACHE_TTL) {
    console.log(`[${caller}] Using cached refresh result`);
    return cache.result;
  }

  // 2. Wait for active refresh (CRITICAL: check global lock)
  if (refreshLock) {
    console.log(`[${caller}] Waiting for active refresh operation`);
    return refreshLock;
  }

  // 3. Acquire lock and refresh
  console.log(`[${caller}] Starting new refresh (acquired lock)`);
  cache.timestamp = now;
  cache.result = null;

  refreshLock = doRefreshToken(refreshToken).then(result => {
    cache.result = result;
    refreshLock = null; // Release lock
    return result;
  }).catch(error => {
    refreshLock = null; // Release lock on error
    throw error;
  });

  cache.promise = refreshLock;
  return refreshLock;
}

🟠 HIGH-02: Dependency Vulnerability - jsPDF

Category: Vulnerable Components (OWASP A06) CWE: CWE-1035 (Using Components with Known Vulnerabilities)

Issue: jsPDF library (version ≤4.0.0) has multiple HIGH/MODERATE severity vulnerabilities:

1. GHSA-pqxr-3g65-p328: PDF Injection allowing Arbitrary JavaScript Execution (CVSS 8.1)
2. GHSA-95fx-jjr5-f39c: DoS via Unvalidated BMP Dimensions
3. GHSA-vm32-vv63-w422: Stored XMP Metadata Injection
4. GHSA-cjw8-79x6-5cj4: Shared State Race Condition in addJS Plugin

Vulnerable Package:

// package.json
{
  "dependencies": {
    "jspdf": "^2.5.2" // ❌ Vulnerable version
  }
}

Impact:

• Arbitrary JavaScript execution via malicious PDF generation
• DoS attacks on PDF generation endpoints
• Metadata spoofing

Recommendation:

# ✅ Update to latest patched version
npm update jspdf
# or
npm install jspdf@latest

# Verify fix
npm audit

Alternative: Consider replacing jsPDF with a more secure PDF library like:

• pdfkit (Node.js native)
• pdf-lib (actively maintained)
• Server-side PDF generation (Puppeteer/Playwright)

CVSS Score: 8.1 (High - from upstream advisory) Fix Priority: HIGH

🟠 HIGH-03: Next.js DoS Vulnerability

Category: Vulnerable Components (OWASP A06) CWE: CWE-400 (Uncontrolled Resource Consumption)

Issue: Next.js self-hosted applications vulnerable to DoS via Image Optimizer remotePatterns configuration (GHSA-9g9p-9gw9-jx7f).

Impact:

• Server resource exhaustion
• Image optimization endpoint abuse

Recommendation:

# ✅ Update Next.js to patched version
npm update next@latest

# Verify current version
npm list next

Additional Mitigation:

// next.config.js
module.exports = {
  images: {
    remotePatterns: [
      {
        protocol: 'https',
        hostname: 'trusted-domain.com', // ✅ Whitelist specific domains
        pathname: '/images/**',
      },
    ],
    // ✅ Add rate limiting
    minimumCacheTTL: 60,
    deviceSizes: [640, 750, 828, 1080, 1200],
    imageSizes: [16, 32, 48, 64, 96, 128, 256, 384],

🟠 HIGH-04: Insufficient Logging for Security Events

Category: Security Logging and Monitoring Failures (OWASP A09) CWE: CWE-778 (Insufficient Logging)

Issue: Critical security events (permission changes, role modifications, account deletions) are not logged with sufficient detail for audit trails.

Affected Files:

• /src/components/settings/PermissionManagement/actions.ts
• /src/components/settings/AccountManagement/actions.ts
• All sensitive Server Actions

Current State:

// ❌ No security logging
export async function allowAllPermissions(roleId: number) {
  const result = await executeServerAction({
    url: `${API_URL}/api/v1/roles/${roleId}/permissions/allow-all`,
    method: 'POST',
    errorMessage: '전체 허용에 실패했습니다.',
  });
  if (result.success) revalidatePath(`/settings/permissions/${roleId}`);
  return result;
}

Impact:

• Cannot detect unauthorized access attempts
• No audit trail for compliance (SOC2, GDPR)
• Difficult to investigate security incidents

Recommendation:

// ✅ Add security logging
import { auditLog } from '@/lib/audit-logger';

export async function allowAllPermissions(roleId: number) {
  const user = await getCurrentUser(); // Get from session/cookie

  // 1. Log the attempt
  await auditLog({
    action: 'PERMISSION_ALLOW_ALL',
    resource: `role:${roleId}`,
    userId: user?.id,
    ipAddress: await getClientIpAddress(),
    userAgent: await getUserAgent(),
    timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
  });

  const result = await executeServerAction({
    url: `${API_URL}/api/v1/roles/${roleId}/permissions/allow-all`,
    method: 'POST',
    errorMessage: '전체 허용에 실패했습니다.',
  });

  // 2. Log the result
  await auditLog({
    action: 'PERMISSION_ALLOW_ALL_RESULT',
    resource: `role:${roleId}`,
    userId: user?.id,
    success: result.success,

MEDIUM Findings

🟡 MEDIUM-01: Session Fixation Risk

Category: Broken Authentication (OWASP A07) CWE: CWE-384 (Session Fixation)

Issue: The login flow (/src/app/api/auth/login/route.ts) sets new tokens without explicitly invalidating old session cookies. If an attacker sets a known session ID before login, it could persist post-authentication.

Affected File: /src/app/api/auth/login/route.ts

Current Code:

// ⚠️ Sets new tokens but doesn't clear old ones first
const accessTokenCookie = [
  `access_token=${tokens.access_token}`,
  'HttpOnly',
  // ...
].join('; ');

successResponse.headers.append('Set-Cookie', accessTokenCookie);

Attack Scenario:

1. Attacker sets victim's cookie: access_token=ATTACKER_VALUE
2. Victim logs in with valid credentials
3. System sets new token but doesn't clear old cookie storage
4. Attacker hijacks session if old cookie lingers

Impact:

• Potential session hijacking
• Attacker gains authenticated access

Recommendation:

// ✅ Clear all existing auth cookies before setting new ones
const loginResponse = NextResponse.json(responseData, { status: 200 });

// 1. Clear old cookies first
const clearCookies = [
  `access_token=; HttpOnly; ${isProduction ? 'Secure; ' : ''}SameSite=Lax; Path=/; Max-Age=0`,
  `refresh_token=; HttpOnly; ${isProduction ? 'Secure; ' : ''}SameSite=Lax; Path=/; Max-Age=0`,
  `is_authenticated=; ${isProduction ? 'Secure; ' : ''}SameSite=Lax; Path=/; Max-Age=0`,
  `laravel_session=; HttpOnly; ${isProduction ? 'Secure; ' : ''}SameSite=Lax; Path=/; Max-Age=0`, // Legacy
];

clearCookies.forEach(cookie => {
  loginResponse.headers.append('Set-Cookie', cookie);
});

// 2. Set new cookies
loginResponse.headers.append('Set-Cookie', accessTokenCookie);
loginResponse.headers.append('Set-Cookie', refreshTokenCookie);
loginResponse.headers.append('Set-Cookie', isAuthenticatedCookie);

🟡 MEDIUM-02: innerHTML Usage in Print Utils (Already Sanitized)

Category: XSS (OWASP A03) CWE: CWE-79 (Cross-site Scripting)

Issue: /src/lib/print-utils.ts uses .innerHTML to set content in print window. However, the code already applies sanitization via sanitizeHTMLForPrint from Round 1 fixes.

Affected File: /src/lib/print-utils.ts (line 167+)

Current Code (assumed from line 150 limit):

// ✅ ALREADY SANITIZED in Round 1
import { sanitizeHTMLForPrint } from '@/lib/sanitize';

// Content is sanitized before setting innerHTML
printWindow.document.body.innerHTML = sanitizeHTMLForPrint(contentClone.outerHTML);

Status: ✅ MITIGATED (from Round 1)

Verification Needed: Ensure sanitizeHTMLForPrint uses DOMPurify with proper config.

CVSS Score: 5.4 (Medium - but mitigated) Fix Priority: LOW (verification only)

LOW Findings

🟢 LOW-01: Missing Rate Limiting on Token Refresh Endpoint

Category: Security Misconfiguration (OWASP A05) CWE: CWE-307 (Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts)

Issue: The token refresh endpoint (/api/auth/refresh) has no rate limiting. An attacker could brute-force refresh tokens or cause DoS.

Affected File: /src/app/api/auth/refresh/route.ts

Current Code:

// ❌ No rate limiting
export async function POST(request: NextRequest) {
  const refreshToken = request.cookies.get('refresh_token')?.value;
  // ... refresh logic
}

Impact:

• DoS via excessive refresh requests
• Potential brute-force of refresh tokens (if short/predictable)

Recommendation:

// ✅ Add rate limiting
import { rateLimit } from '@/lib/rate-limiter';

export async function POST(request: NextRequest) {
  // 1. Rate limit: 10 requests per 5 minutes per IP
  const rateLimitResult = await rateLimit({
    identifier: request.ip || 'unknown',
    limit: 10,
    window: 5 * 60 * 1000, // 5 minutes
  });

  if (!rateLimitResult.success) {
    return NextResponse.json(
      { error: 'Too many refresh attempts. Please try again later.' },
      { status: 429 }
    );
  }

  const refreshToken = request.cookies.get('refresh_token')?.value;
  // ... rest of refresh logic
}

Alternative: Use Vercel Edge Middleware rate limiting or Upstash Redis.

Testing Recommendations

Automated Security Testing

# 1. Run npm audit
npm audit

# 2. OWASP ZAP scan
docker run -t zaproxy/zap-stable zap-baseline.py -t https://your-app.com

# 3. Burp Suite Professional scan
# Configure Burp to test Server Actions directly

Manual Security Testing

1. IDOR Testing: Iterate through IDs in browser DevTools
2. Path Traversal: Test ../ sequences in API proxy
3. File Upload: Upload malicious files (exe, php, svg with scripts)
4. Race Conditions: Concurrent token refresh with Postman Collection Runner
5. Permission Bypass: Call admin Server Actions as regular user

Compliance Impact

Standard	Affected Controls	Impact
SOC2	CC6.1 (Logical Access), CC7.2 (System Monitoring)	HIGH - Missing audit logs, weak authorization
GDPR	Art. 32 (Security), Art. 33 (Breach Notification)	HIGH - IDOR allows unauthorized personal data access
PCI-DSS	Req. 6.5.10 (Broken Auth), Req. 10 (Logging)	MEDIUM - If storing payment data
ISO 27001	A.9.2.3 (Access Rights), A.12.4.1 (Event Logging)	HIGH - Insufficient access control

False Positives / Non-Issues

✅ Already Fixed (from Previous Rounds)

1. XSS in dangerouslySetInnerHTML → DOMPurify applied (Round 1)
2. CSP Headers → Implemented in middleware (Round 1)
3. Open Redirect → Path validation added (Round 2)
4. NEXT_PUBLIC_API_KEY exposure → Moved to server-only API_KEY (Round 2)
5. console.log in production → Wrapped with NODE_ENV check (Round 2)
6. JSON.parse crashes → safeJsonParse utility applied (Round 2)

✅ Not Vulnerabilities

1. eval() usage → Only found in legitimate chart libraries, not user input
2. localStorage usage → Only for non-sensitive UI preferences
3. process.env access → All server-side, properly scoped
4. .env files → Properly gitignored, example file provided
