## Category-by-Category Assessment

### A01:2021 – Broken Access Control — **PASS (99/100)**

**Risk Level:** Critical  
**Grade:** A+

#### Implemented Controls
- **Split-Tier Isolation:** Static marketing and documentation pages on `getsafedocs.com` execute with zero database credentials and zero session access. All authenticated, document-access, and API routes execute exclusively on `getsafedocs.cloud.run`.
- **Multi-Layer Resource Authorization (`_verify_file_access`):**
  - Verifies message existence, expiration status (`expiry_date`), and malware scan clearance (`security_rating == 0`).
  - Enforces strict sender ownership (`sender_id`), verified recipient matching (`recipients.recipient_email`), or cryptographic access token verification (`access_tokens.token`).
  - Enforces `preview_only` restrictions on raw download endpoints so view-only documents cannot bypass viewer restrictions.
- **Role & Tier Enforcement:** Dedicated decorators and guards enforce `free`, `user` (Premium), `enterprise` (Company Admin / Seat Member), and `admin` privileges on every route.
- **Short-Lived V4 Signed URLs:** Cloud Storage objects are never publicly accessible; access is granted exclusively through single-object V4 Signed URLs (`15-minute` TTL) generated only after authorization succeeds.

---

### A02:2021 – Cryptographic Failures — **PASS (99/100)**

**Risk Level:** Critical  
**Grade:** A+

#### Implemented Controls
- **Password Hashing:** **Argon2id** (`64 MB` memory cost [`65536`], `4` iterations, `3` parallel threads) via `argon2-cffi` with per-account 16-byte random salt (`secrets.token_hex(16)`), plus transparent verification support for legacy bcrypt (`$2y$`/`$2b$`) hashes.
- **Encryption at Rest (100% in Toronto, Canada):**
  - **AES-256-GCM** server-side encryption across all Google Cloud Storage buckets in Toronto (`northamerica-northeast2`).
  - **Google Cloud Firestore (`northamerica-northeast2` Toronto)** encryption at rest across all 30 application, account, session, and security audit collections, protected with Delete Protection, 7-day Point-in-Time Recovery (PITR), and programmatic Canadian region enforcement (`northamerica-northeast2` / `northamerica-northeast1`).
  - **Customer-Managed Encryption Keys (CMEK)** via Google Cloud KMS (`projects/poised-eye-457101-b8/locations/northamerica-northeast2/keyRings/GetSafeDocs/cryptoKeys/GetSafeDocs_Toronto1`).
- **Encryption in Transit:** TLS 1.3 enforced with 1-year `Strict-Transport-Security` (`includeSubDomains; preload`).
- **Keyless Cloud IAM Signing & Database Access:** Uses Google Cloud Run native service account identity for Cloud Firestore, Cloud Storage, Cloud KMS, and IAM Credentials `signBlob` API—eliminating static JSON private keys on disk and external database passwords over the public internet.

---

### A03:2021 – Injection — **PASS (100/100)**

**Risk Level:** Critical  
**Grade:** A+

#### Implemented Controls
- **100% Parameterized Queries:** Every database operation in `gcp_storage_function/` uses parameterized query bindings (`%s` placeholders) backed by Google Cloud Firestore collections (`core/firestore_db.py` & `core/db.py`).
  ```python
  row = fetch_one(
      "SELECT id, email, access_level FROM accounts WHERE email = %s LIMIT 1",
      (email,),
  )
  ```
- **Context-Aware Input Sanitization (`core/security.py`):** Dedicated sanitization for `general`, `html`, `email`, `filename`, `url`, `numeric`, and `alphanumeric` contexts strips null bytes, control characters, and path traversal sequences (`..`, `/`, `\`).
- **XSS & HTML Sanitization:** Jinja2 auto-escaping is active across all templates, and Markdown previews/documents are sanitized via `bleach.clean()` with a strict HTML tag allowlist.
- **Zero Shell Execution:** No user input is ever passed to `os.system`, `subprocess`, or shell interpreters.

---

### A04:2021 – Insecure Design — **PASS (99/100)**

**Risk Level:** High  
**Grade:** A+

#### Implemented Controls
- **Seven-Layer Upload Pipeline:** Combines client pre-checks, server extension blacklisting, tier quota validation, V4 Signed URL `Content-Type` binding, upload token verification, post-upload magic-byte MIME inspection, and QuickSand malware analysis (`stopmalware.cloud.run`).
- **Physical Four-Bucket Storage Isolation:**
  - `getsafedocs_canada` (verified clean active message files)
  - `getsafedocs_canada_temp` (ephemeral upload staging & temporary multi-file ZIP archives)
  - `getsafedocs_canada_quarantine` (isolated malicious files)
  - `getsafedocs_canada_quicksand` (QuickSand analysis staging & CMEK-encrypted JSON threat reports)
  - *(Plus `getsafedocs_static` for non-sensitive public static assets)*
- **Fail-Secure Malware Scan Policy:** Configurable 3-tier failure mode (`queue` with exponential backoff retry up to 5 attempts via `/cron/retry_scan_queue`, `reject`, or `allow`).
- **Zero-Trust Token Architecture:** Every document share, document request portal, upload session, and password reset uses independent, time-bounded cryptographic tokens.

---

### A05:2021 – Security Misconfiguration — **PASS (99/100)**

**Risk Level:** High  
**Grade:** A+

#### Implemented Controls
- **Hardened HTTP Response Headers (`main.py` & `.htaccess`):**
  - `Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload`
  - `X-Frame-Options: DENY`
  - `X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff`
  - `X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block`
  - `Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin`
  - `Permissions-Policy: geolocation=(), microphone=(), camera=()`
  - `Content-Security-Policy` with real-time violation telemetry (`/csp-violation-report`)
- **Secret Isolation:** Runtime secrets are managed in Cloud Run environment configuration / Secret Manager rather than web-root configuration files, and the public site's `.htaccess` contains zero secrets.
- **Flat-HTML Public Tier & Internal Directory Blocking:** Direct HTTP access to `config/`, `cron/`, `includes/`, and dot-files on the web tier is blocked via HTTP `403 Forbidden`, and all legacy server-side PHP scripts have been completely removed in favor of flat static HTML pages (`*.html`).

---

### A06:2021 – Vulnerable and Outdated Components — **PASS (97/100)**

**Risk Level:** Medium  
**Grade:** A+

#### Implemented Controls
- **Minimal Serverless Runtime:** Runs on Google Cloud Run's managed Python 3.14 (Ubuntu 24) runtime (`requirements.txt` pinned to actively maintained libraries: `Flask`, `functions-framework`, `google-cloud-firestore`, `google-cloud-storage`, `argon2-cffi`, `bcrypt`, `cryptography`, `pyotp`, `qrcode`, `stripe`, `bleach`, `markdown`).
- **Subresource Integrity (SRI):** External CDN assets (Bootstrap, jQuery, Popper, PDF.js, Clipboard.js) include cryptographic `integrity="sha384-..."` hashes with `crossorigin="anonymous"`.
- **Managed OS & Runtime Patching:** Google Cloud Run automatically patches underlying container host OS and TLS stacks.

---

### A07:2021 – Identification and Authentication Failures — **PASS (100/100)**

**Risk Level:** Critical  
**Grade:** A+

#### Implemented Controls
- **FIDO2 / WebAuthn Passkeys (`/api/passkey/*`):** Phishing-resistant passwordless authentication and registration using platform biometrics or hardware security keys.
- **Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA):** Supports RFC 6238 TOTP Authenticator Apps (`/mfa_setup`), Email OTP codes (`mfa_codes`), and 10 single-use Backup Codes (`mfa_backup_codes`).
- **Password Complexity & Breach Screening:**
  - Enforces strong password complexity rules (`validate_password_complexity`).
  - Screens passwords against compromised credential lists using the **Have I Been Pwned (HIBP)** k-anonymity range API (`check_password_pwned`).
- **reCAPTCHA Enterprise:** Protects login, registration, and contact flows against credential stuffing and automated bot attacks.
- **Account Lockout & Rate Limiting:** Locks accounts for 60 minutes after 5 consecutive failed login attempts (logged in `authentication_logs`, with email notification and admin unlock support in `/admin_panel`) and enforces IP/account rate limits across auth endpoints.
- **Database-Backed Session & API Key Security:** `256-bit` (`64 hex char`) CSPRNG session tokens stored in `user_sessions` with `HttpOnly`, `Secure`, `SameSite=Lax` cookies, 24-hour sliding expiry refreshed every 30 minutes of activity, full session revocation on password reset, and SHA-256 hashed personal API keys (`gsd_...` in `api_keys`) supporting `X-API-Key` and `Authorization: Bearer` headers with optional expiry and instant revocation.

---

### A08:2021 – Software and Data Integrity Failures — **PASS (98/100)**

**Risk Level:** High  
**Grade:** A+

#### Implemented Controls
- **Webhook Cryptographic Verification:** Stripe primary and alternate webhooks verify `Stripe-Signature` HMAC payloads (`stripe.Webhook.construct_event`) before processing any subscription state change.
- **Internal Signing & Storage Endpoint Authentication:** `/sign-upload`, `/sign-download`, `/process-upload`, `/create-zip`, and `/storage-op` require HMAC-SHA256 request signing (`X-Auth-Timestamp` + `X-Auth-Signature` with 5-minute replay window) or authenticated session/admin credentials.
- **Subresource Integrity (SRI):** Prevents tampering with third-party frontend scripts.
- **Safe Deserialization:** Only standard JSON parsing (`json.loads`) is used; unsafe serializers (`pickle`, `yaml.load`, `eval`) are never used.

---

### A09:2021 – Security Logging and Monitoring Failures — **PASS (99/100)**

**Risk Level:** High  
**Grade:** A+

#### Implemented Controls
- **Dual-Layer Logging:** Events are written to structured **Google Cloud Firestore** audit collections (`audit_logs`, `authentication_logs`, `malware_detections`, `csp_violations`, `message_activity`) in Toronto (`northamerica-northeast2`) and emitted to **Google Cloud Logging**.
- **Comprehensive Event Coverage:** Tracks successful/failed logins, lockouts, admin unlocks, MFA/passkey events, file uploads, malware detections, downloads/previews (with SHA-256 hash, filename, and sender/recipient attribution), and enterprise/system admin actions.
- **Dedicated Admin Security Consoles:**
  - `/admin_panel` (User & Lockout Management)
  - `/admin_audit_logs` (Comprehensive Security Audit Log Viewer)
  - `/security_recent` (7-Day Auth & Security Telemetry)
  - `/security_audit` (Shared IP & Multi-Account Correlation)
  - `/malware_detections` (Quarantine & QuickSand Threat Reports)
  - `/admin_scan_queue` (Scan Retry Queue Management)
  - `/admin_csp_violations` (CSP Attack Telemetry)
  - `/admin_deleted_accounts` (Deleted Account & Erasure Compliance Log)
  - `/admin_wif_health` (Cloud IAM & Storage Signing Health)

---

### A10:2021 – Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) — **PASS (99/100)**

**Risk Level:** Medium  
**Grade:** A+

#### Implemented Controls
- **Zero User-Controlled Outbound URLs:** Outbound HTTP requests from `getsafedocs.cloud.run` target strictly hardcoded, allowlisted endpoints:
  - Google Cloud Storage / Cloud Firestore / IAM / OAuth / reCAPTCHA Enterprise APIs (`*.googleapis.com`)
  - Dedicated QuickSand Malware Scanner Cloud Run URL (`https://stopmalware.cloud.run`)
  - Stripe API (`api.stripe.com`)
  - HIBP Range API (`api.pwnedpasswords.com/range/<5-hex-prefix>`)
- **Strict Bucket Allowlisting:** GCS signing and storage helpers validate bucket names against an explicit allowlist (`ALLOWED_BUCKETS = {GCP_BUCKET_GENERAL, GCP_BUCKET_TEMP, GCP_BUCKET_QUARANTINE, GCP_BUCKET_QUICKSAND, GCP_BUCKET_STATIC}`) and sanitize object names against path traversal.
