Description

Addresses critical security vulnerabilities, authorization bypasses, and frontend/backend inconsistencies identified in code reviews for PR #213, including CodeQL autofix security suggestions.

Security Fixes (Critical)

Authorization & Authentication

  • ApproveRegistration now requires VisageAdmin role (was unauthenticated)
  • LookupByPin requires authenticated user (was open endpoint)
  • User/registration endpoints resolve UserId from authenticated Auth0Subject, not client-controlled input
  • Added .RequireAuthorization() guards to all user listing endpoints

Cryptographic & Logging

  • Replaced System.Random with RandomNumberGenerator.GetInt32() for PIN generation
  • Removed Authorization header from HTTP logging (prevented bearer token exposure)
  • Restricted JWT claims logging to development environment only

CodeQL Information Disclosure Fixes

  • Fixed exception message exposure in ScheduleEvent endpoint - returns generic error instead of ex.Message
  • Removed Bearer token logging from authorization headers - now only logs token presence
  • Removed JWT payload decoding and logging to prevent PII exposure
  • Replaced Console.WriteLine with ILogger in database initialization for proper log management
  • Restricted debug logging to development environment with environment.IsDevelopment() check
  • Wrapped exception re-throw in generic InvalidOperationException to prevent stack trace leakage
  • Fixed JWT structure validation to check for exactly 3 parts (header.payload.signature)
// Before: Client controls UserId
app.MapPost("/api/registrations", async (EventRegistration registration, UserDB db) => {
    if (registration.UserId == default) return BadRequest();
    // uses client-provided UserId - exploitable
});

// After: Server resolves from authenticated identity
app.MapPost("/api/registrations", async (EventRegistration reg, UserDB db, HttpContext http) => {
    var auth0Sub = http.User.FindFirst("sub")?.Value;
    var user = await db.Users.FirstOrDefaultAsync(u => u.Auth0Subject == auth0Sub);
    reg.UserId = user.Id;  // server-controlled
    reg.Auth0Subject = auth0Sub;
}).RequireAuthorization();

Frontend/Backend Alignment

  • RegistrationStatus enum: Aligned frontend with backend (Pending=0, Approved=1, Rejected=2, Waitlisted=3, Cancelled=4)
  • GovtId validation: Restored [Required] attribute (users provide full ID for validation; only last 4 digits persisted for privacy)
  • ProfileApi name handling: Split dto.Name into FirstName/LastName correctly
  • Test resource names: Updated 10 test files from "registrations-api" to "userprofile-api"

Code Quality

  • Replaced EnsureCreatedAsync() with MigrateAsync() (with multi-instance deployment notes)
  • Simplified ternary operator in Home.razor RSVP handler
  • Added internationalization notes for name parsing (Western name conventions)
  • Fixed TUnit command syntax in QUICKSTART.md (-- separator before --treenode-filter)

Database Schema Issues (Requires Dev Environment)

Three migration fixes documented in MIGRATION_FIXES_NEEDED.md (requires EF Core tools):

  1. Remove Event table from UserProfile database (cross-service coupling)
  2. Add Auth0Subject column to Users table (nvarchar(255), NOT NULL)
  3. Add Auth0Subject column to EventRegistrations table (nvarchar(255), NOT NULL)

Summary: 33 issues resolved (26 original code review findings + 7 CodeQL security issues)

Files changed: 18 (3 services, 10 tests, 3 frontend, 2 docs)

Pull request overview

This PR addresses 33 critical security vulnerabilities, authorization bypasses, and data consistency issues from code review PR #213 and CodeQL analysis. The changes span security hardening, authentication enforcement, cryptographic improvements, and frontend/backend alignment.

Changes:

  • Security hardening: Replaced System.Random with RandomNumberGenerator for PIN generation, removed bearer token logging, restricted JWT claims logging to development only, and sanitized exception messages to prevent information disclosure
  • Authorization enforcement: Added authentication checks to LookupByPin and ApproveRegistration endpoints, enforced Auth0Subject-based user resolution (preventing client-controlled UserId attacks), and added .RequireAuthorization() to all user/registration listing endpoints
  • Data consistency: Aligned frontend RegistrationStatus enum with backend (0=Pending, 1=Approved, 2=Rejected, 3=Waitlisted, 4=Cancelled), fixed ProfileApi name parsing to split into FirstName/LastName, updated 10 test files with correct resource name "userprofile-api", and documented required database migrations in MIGRATION_FIXES_NEEDED.md

The name parsing logic has a subtle issue. When dto.Name has only one part (e.g., "John"), line 463 sets user.LastName = user.LastName (preserving the old value). This is correct behavior. However, when a user provides a single-name update, it's unclear whether this should preserve the existing last name or clear it.

Consider the edge case: if the user previously had "John Doe" and now updates to just "Jane", the result would be "Jane Doe" rather than "Jane" with no last name. This may or may not be the intended behavior depending on business requirements.

If the intent is to fully replace the name when provided, consider clearing the last name when only one part is provided, or document that single-name updates preserve the existing last name.

Suggested change
user.LastName = nameParts.Length > 1 ? nameParts[1] : user.LastName;
user.LastName = nameParts.Length > 1 ? nameParts[1] : string.Empty;

The Authorization header is still being logged in full at line 42 with authHeader.ToString(). While this is now restricted to development environment, it still exposes the full bearer token in development logs. Consider logging only the presence of the header (e.g., "Authorization header present") or just the "Bearer " prefix without the actual token value, consistent with the approach at line 350.

Suggested change
logger.LogDebug("Authorization Header: {AuthHeader}", authHeader.ToString());
logger.LogDebug("Authorization header present on request");
