Task D — Google-style docstrings (Args/Returns) on every public function,
method, and class across all 158 Python files in the backend. Zero ruff D
violations (pydocstyle Google convention).
Task E — Explanatory one-line comment before every code line (~11600 new
comments). ruff check passes clean after isort re-sort.
1. Duplicate function definition: the old 2-param _entry_matches shadowed
the new 3-param version — Python uses the last definition, so the call
with 3 args threw TypeError. Removed the stale old definition.
2. NIST NVD deprecated their XML RSS feeds in 2023 — URL returns 404.
Replaced with SecurityWeek RSS which is active and covers CVEs/threats.
Backend:
- intel_service: remove 50-technique limit (scan all techniques), improve
pattern matching with word boundaries (\bT1059\b), raise min name length
to 8 chars to reduce false positives, skip entries with empty titles
- technique_query_service: add intel_items to get_technique_detail() so
the technique page now shows recent threat intel articles (last 20)
- New GET /intel/items endpoint with optional technique_id filter
Frontend:
- New api/intel.ts with listIntelItems()
- ReviewQueuePage: complete redesign
* Expandable rows — click a technique to see its intel articles inline
* IntelPanel component fetches articles per technique on expand
* 'Create Template from Intel' button opens pre-filled modal:
name (from article title), source_url (article link), technique_id
User reads the article and fills the attack procedure
* Updated explanation text: lists all 3 reasons a technique can be flagged
(MITRE update / intel scan / new template or detection rule)
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)
- Add intel_service.py: RSS feed scanner for threat intelligence
Searches CISA, NIST NVD, SANS ISC, BleepingComputer, The Hacker News,
Krebs on Security for mentions of MITRE technique IDs and names
- New intel items stored in intel_items table with URL deduplication
- Techniques with new intel flagged with review_required=True
- Add POST /system/run-intel-scan endpoint (admin only)
- Register weekly intel scan job in APScheduler (every 7 days)
- Audit log records each scan execution with summary stats
- Update README with new endpoint and project structure
