Description: This pull request introduces unit tests for various components of the application, including controllers, utility classes, and database interaction methods. Additionally, it adds documentation for the application's main classes, detailing their functionality, process flows, dependencies, and vulnerabilities. The changes aim to improve code quality, test coverage, and developer understanding of the system.

Summary:

  • File: src/test/java/com/scalesec/vulnado/CommentTests.java (added)

    • Unit tests for the Comment class, covering methods like create, fetchAll, delete, and commit.
    • Mocking database interactions using Mockito.
    • Tests for exception handling (BadRequest, ServerError) and edge cases.
  • File: src/test/java/com/scalesec/vulnado/CommentsControllerTests.java (added)

    • Unit tests for the CommentsController class, covering endpoints for fetching, creating, and deleting comments.
    • Mocking authentication and database interactions.
    • Tests for invalid token handling and exception scenarios.
  • File: src/test/java/com/scalesec/vulnado/CowControllerTests.java (added)

    • Unit tests for the CowController class, covering /cowsay endpoint functionality for both GET and POST requests.
    • Tests for default and custom input handling.
  • File: src/test/java/com/scalesec/vulnado/CowsayTests.java (added)

    • Unit tests for the Cowsay class, covering input sanitization, command execution, and error handling.
    • Mocking ProcessBuilder and logging behavior.
  • File: src/test/java/com/scalesec/vulnado/LinkListerTests.java (added)

    • Unit tests for the LinkLister class, covering methods for extracting links from webpages.
    • Tests for valid and invalid URLs, exception handling, and logging.
  • File: src/test/java/com/scalesec/vulnado/LinksControllerTests.java (added)

    • Unit tests for the LinksController class, covering /links and /links-v2 endpoints.
    • Mocking LinkLister methods and testing error scenarios.
  • File: src/test/java/com/scalesec/vulnado/LoginControllerTests.java (added)

    • Unit tests for the LoginController class, covering user authentication and token generation.
    • Tests for valid and invalid credentials, null requests, and exception handling.
  • File: src/test/java/com/scalesec/vulnado/PostgresTests.java (added)

    • Unit tests for the Postgres class, covering database connection, schema setup, and data insertion.
    • Tests for password hashing and resource management.
  • File: src/test/java/com/scalesec/vulnado/UserTests.java (added)

    • Unit tests for the User class, covering token generation, authentication, and database fetching.
    • Tests for valid and invalid tokens, and exception handling.
  • File: src/test/java/com/scalesec/vulnado/VulnadoApplicationTests.java (modified)

    • Added tests for application initialization and database setup.
  • Documentation Files (added):

    • Detailed documentation for Comment, CommentsController, CowController, Cowsay, LinkLister, LinksController, LoginController, Postgres, User, and VulnadoApplication.
    • Includes process flows, insights, dependencies, vulnerabilities, and recommendations.

Recommendation:

  1. Improve Input Validation:

    • Ensure all user inputs are validated and sanitized to prevent injection attacks.
    • For example, in Comment.create, validate username and body before passing them to the database.
  2. Enhance Password Security:

    • Replace MD5 hashing with a stronger algorithm like bcrypt or Argon2 for password storage.
  3. Close Database Connections Properly:

    • Use try-with-resources or ensure connections are closed in a finally block to prevent resource leaks.
  4. Restrict CORS Origins:

    • Replace @CrossOrigin(origins = "*") with a list of trusted domains to prevent cross-origin attacks.
  5. Implement Rate Limiting:

    • Add rate limiting to endpoints like login to mitigate brute-force attacks.
  6. Secure Logging:

    • Avoid logging sensitive information like database credentials or user tokens.
  7. Handle Exceptions Effectively:

    • Provide detailed error messages for debugging while ensuring sensitive information is not exposed to users.
  8. Review Command Execution:

    • In Cowsay.run, ensure all inputs are sanitized to prevent command injection.

Explanation of vulnerabilities:

  1. SQL Injection in User.fetch:

    • Vulnerable code:
      String query = "select * from users where username = '" + un + "' limit 1";
    • Suggested fix:
      String query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = ? LIMIT 1";
      PreparedStatement stmt = connection.prepareStatement(query);
      stmt.setString(1, un);
  2. Insecure Password Hashing:

    • Vulnerable code:
      public static String md5(String input) {
          MessageDigest md = MessageDigest.getInstance("MD5");
          return new BigInteger(1, md.digest(input.getBytes())).toString(16);
      }
    • Suggested fix: Use bcrypt or Argon2 for hashing passwords.
  3. Command Injection in Cowsay.run:

    • Vulnerable code:
      ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder("/usr/games/cowsay", input);
    • Suggested fix: Validate and sanitize input to remove all special characters.
  4. SSRF in LinkLister.getLinks:

    • Vulnerable code:
      Document doc = Jsoup.connect(url).get();
    • Suggested fix: Validate the URL to ensure it points to a trusted domain.
  5. Unrestricted CORS:

    • Vulnerable code:
      @CrossOrigin(origins = "*")
    • Suggested fix: Restrict origins to trusted domains.
  6. Hardcoded Secret:

    • Vulnerable code:
      @Value("${app.secret}")
      private String secret;
    • Suggested fix: Store secrets securely using a vault or environment variables with restricted access.

By addressing these vulnerabilities and implementing the recommendations, the application can be made more secure and robust.
