Critical (1-3):
- Replace hardcoded admin credentials with secure auto-generation (seed.py)
- Enforce SECRET_KEY configuration, fail in production if missing (config.py)
- Add Zip Slip and Zip Bomb protection to all ZIP import services
High/Medium (4-9):
- Add 50MB file size limit and extension whitelist to evidence uploads
- Configure CORS origins via environment variable instead of hardcoded
- Migrate JWT storage from localStorage to HttpOnly cookies (frontend+backend)
- Add rate limiting (5/min) on login endpoint via slowapi
- Replace generic dict payloads with Pydantic schemas (mass assignment)
Medium (10-17):
- Check is_active on login to prevent disabled users from authenticating
- Sanitize exception messages in API responses (system, data_sources)
- Escape LIKE wildcards in all ilike search filters across 8 routers
- Run Docker container as non-root user (appuser)
- Make MINIO_SECURE configurable via environment variable
- Add password complexity policy (12+ chars, upper/lower/digit/special)
- Implement JWT token revocation via in-memory blacklist + reduce TTL to 15min
- Replace xml.etree with defusedxml to prevent Billion Laughs attacks
Low (18-20):
- Add security headers to Nginx (CSP, X-Frame-Options, HSTS-ready, etc.)
- Disable Swagger UI/ReDoc/OpenAPI in production
- Restrict /health endpoint to internal networks via Nginx ACL
Also: rewrite install.sh as interactive wizard for guided deployment,
fix test-from-template validation error (technique_id UUID vs MITRE ID)
- Auto-detect project root from script location so it works from any dir
- Fail properly if docker-compose build fails (was hidden by pipe)
- Use docker exec for backend health checks (port 8000 not exposed in prod)
- Add fallback API access via docker exec if nginx not reachable yet
- Show backend logs during wait for better debugging
- Increase timeouts for MITRE sync and data source sync
- Fix hardcoded localhost:8000 URLs in frontend to use relative /api/v1
path (works with Nginx proxy in prod and VITE_API_URL in dev)
- Create production entrypoint (entrypoint.prod.sh) that runs migrations,
seeds, and starts uvicorn with 4 workers (no --reload)
- Create comprehensive install.sh script for production deployment that
generates secure .env, builds containers, waits for health, and
optionally triggers initial MITRE sync
- Update docker-compose.prod.yml to use production entrypoint
- Update Dockerfile to make both entrypoints executable
- Remove init.ps1 (production will always be Linux)
- Update README with production deployment instructions
