# Code Review Findings
> Full codebase audit conducted 2026-05-12. Covers OWASP Top 10, performance, reliability, and correctness issues across the entire TowerOps Web application.
---
## HIGH
### H1. N+1 Queries in MobileController
**File:** `lib/towerops_web/controllers/api/mobile_controller.ex:38-46,78-84`
**Severity:** HIGH — 3N + 2M extra queries per request
**Description:** For each organization: 3 count queries (sites, devices, active alerts). For each site: 2 count queries (total devices, down devices). 1 + 3N + 2M DB round-trips.
**Fix:** Use batch count queries as already partially implemented in `devices.ex:98`.
---
### H2. N+1 Oban `cancel_all_jobs` per Check
**File:** `lib/towerops/monitoring.ex:463-473`
**Severity:** HIGH — One DB round-trip per check when stopping device checks
**Description:** Loops through check_ids calling `Oban.cancel_all_jobs` individually. A device with 50 checks = 50 queries. Should batch all check_ids into a single query using `ANY(?)`.
**Fix:** Use `fragment("args->>'check_id' = ANY(?)", ^check_ids)` in a single query.
---
### H3. N+1 Alert Resolution
**File:** `lib/towerops/alerts.ex:381-388`
**Severity:** HIGH — One DB write per alert when resolving
**Description:** Loads all alerts then `Enum.each` calls `resolve_alert_silent()` per alert. For 1000 alerts in a storm: 1000 individual `Repo.update` calls + 1000 PubSub broadcasts.
**Fix:** Use `Repo.update_all` with a single query.
---
### H4. Race Condition in `create_check` (Auto-Discovery)
**File:** `lib/towerops/monitoring.ex:152-184`
**Severity:** HIGH — Concurrent discoveries crash the job with Ecto.ConstraintError
**Description:** Two concurrent discoveries can both get `nil` from `get_by` and both attempt `insert`. The unique index prevents duplicates but one crashes with unhandled `Ecto.ConstraintError`.
**Fix:** Use `Repo.insert(..., on_conflict: :nothing)` or wrap in transaction with `FOR UPDATE`.
---
### H5. Missing Transaction in `apply_agent_to_all_equipment`
**File:** `lib/towerops/sites.ex:223-252`
**Severity:** HIGH — Partial data loss on failure
**Description:** `delete_all` runs before `insert_all`. If insert fails, assignments are lost without rollback.
**Fix:** Wrap in `Repo.transaction`.
---
### H6. N+1 Interface Capacity Queries
**File:** `lib/towerops/capacity.ex:53-83`
**Severity:** HIGH — 20+ individual queries per site capacity view
**Description:** `get_site_capacity_summary` loops over interfaces calling `get_utilization` which does `InterfaceStat |> where(interface_id: ^id) |> Repo.all()` per interface.
**Fix:** Batch-load all interface stats in a single query.
---
### H7. Unauthenticated Webhook Endpoints
**File:** `lib/towerops/router.ex:232-239`
**Severity:** HIGH — Webhook endpoints protected only by per-org secret, no router-level auth
**Description:** Gaiia, PagerDuty, and MikroTik webhooks use the `:api` pipeline which only has `plug :accepts, ["json"]` — no authentication. Auth is delegated entirely to each controller.
**Fix:** Add webhook auth plug at pipeline level.
---
### H8. Missing Session Expiry Check in Mobile/GraphQL Auth
**File:** `lib/towerops_web/plugs/mobile_auth.ex:48-53`
**File:** `lib/towerops_web/plugs/graphql_auth.ex:58-63`
**Severity:** HIGH — Expired/revoked sessions remain usable indefinitely
**Description:** `validate_session` checks the record exists but does NOT check `expires_at`. If the query doesn't filter expired rows, revoked sessions stay active.
**Fix:** Add `DateTime.compare(expires_at, DateTime.utc_now())` check.
---
### H9. CSP `img-src https:` Wildcard
**File:** `lib/towerops_web/plugs/security_headers.ex:38`
**Severity:** HIGH — Broad data exfiltration vector via any XSS
**Description:** `https:` for img-src allows images from any HTTPS origin. Combined with any XSS, an attacker can exfiltrate data via image request URLs.
**Fix:** Restrict to specific domains.
---
### H10. Missing HSTS Header
**File:** `lib/towerops_web/plugs/security_headers.ex:22-29`
**Severity:** HIGH — SSL stripping attacks possible
**Description:** Security headers plug sets CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy — but NOT `Strict-Transport-Security`.
**Fix:** Add `strict-transport-security: max-age=63072000; includeSubDomains; preload`.
---
### H11. Hardcoded Session Salts (8 bytes)
**File:** `lib/towerops_web/endpoint.ex:11-12`
**File:** `config/config.exs:135`
**Severity:** HIGH — Weak entropy for cookie signing; identical across all environments
**Description:** `signing_salt: "hrDZxLhd"` and `encryption_salt: "vK3p8mNx"` are hardcoded 8-byte salts. Phoenix recommends 16+ bytes. Also baked into source code — can't rotate without deploy.
**Fix:** Load from env vars, increase to 16+ bytes.
---
### H12. Missing `Secure` and `HttpOnly` on Session Cookie
**File:** `lib/towerops_web/endpoint.ex:8-14`
**File:** `lib/towerops/user_auth.ex:29-33` (remember-me cookie)
**Severity:** HIGH — Session cookie sent over HTTP; accessible via JS
**Description:** `@session_options` has `same_site: "Lax"` but no `secure: true` or `http_only: true`. Session cookie transmitted in cleartext over HTTP and accessible via `document.cookie`.
**Fix:** Add `secure: true, http_only: true` to both session and remember-me cookie configs.
---
### H13. PromEx Metrics Server Unauthenticated
**File:** `config/config.exs:106-117`
**Severity:** HIGH — Internal metrics accessible without any auth
**Description:** `auth_strategy: :none` on metrics server. Exposes DB query performance, memory info, business logic execution times.
**Fix:** Add at minimum basic token auth, or document network isolation explicitly.
---
### H14. `String.to_integer/1` on Unvalidated SNMP OID Components
**Files:**
- `lib/towerops/snmp/neighbor_discovery.ex:202,299,129`
- `lib/towerops/snmp/discovery.ex:1368`
- `lib/towerops/snmp/profiles/base.ex:1332`
**Severity:** HIGH — Malicious SNMP responses crash GenServers (DoS)
**Description:** OID suffixes extracted from SNMP responses are passed directly to `String.to_integer/1`. An attacker-controlled device can send non-numeric OID fragments, crashing the poller process.
**Fix:** Replace with `Integer.parse/1` + pattern match. Never trust OID suffixes from network data.
---
### H15. `String.to_existing_atom/1` on User Input in ActivityFeed
**File:** `lib/towerops/activity_feed_live.ex:55`
**Severity:** HIGH — Any user can crash the activity feed LiveView (DoS)
**Description:** `String.to_existing_atom(type_str)` where `type_str` comes from client event params. If the atom doesn't exist, `ArgumentError` kills the LiveView process.
**Fix:** Use a whitelist of allowed types.
---
### H16. `String.to_integer/1` on User-Controlled Page Param
**Files:**
- `lib/towerops_web/live/user_settings_live.ex:63`
- `lib/towerops_web/live/admin/dashboard_live.ex:19`
**Severity:** HIGH — Non-integer page param crashes LiveView (DoS)
**Description:** `params |> Map.get("page", "1") |> String.to_integer()` — passing `?page=abc` raises an error killing the process.
**Fix:** Use `Integer.parse` with fallback to 1.
---
### H17. Reports LiveView — Missing Org Scope on Individual Operations
**File:** `lib/towerops/reports_live.ex:73-101`
**Severity:** HIGH — IDOR on report toggle, delete, run_now
**Description:** `toggle`, `delete`, `run_now` fetch reports by ID without verifying org membership. A user who guesses another org's report ID can manipulate it.
**Fix:** Add org scope verification to all individual operations.
---
### H18. Mass Assignment Risk Across All CRUD Endpoints
**Files:** Multiple v1 controllers
**Severity:** HIGH — Unchecked params passed to context functions
**Description:** All create/update actions pass raw user params to context functions. Only protection is changeset `cast/3`. If any changeset doesn't restrict fields properly, arbitrary columns can be set.
**Fix:** Add explicit field allowlist filtering at controller level (like `IntegrationsController.to_atom_keys/1`).
---
### H19. QR Token Verify Leaks User Email
**File:** `lib/towerops_web/controllers/api/mobile_auth_controller.ex:43-45`
**Severity:** HIGH — Token validity + user email disclosed to anyone with a QR token
**Description:** `json(conn, %{valid: true, user_email: qr_token.user.email})` — reveals the associated email on token verify.
**Fix:** Only return `valid: true/false`. Don't disclose email until token is consumed.
---
### H20. CoverageWorker Contradictory Retry Settings
**File:** `lib/towerops/workers/coverage_worker.ex:23-25, 485-486`
**Severity:** HIGH — `max_attempts: 3` but `fail/2` returns `:ok`
**Description:** Configured for retries, but the `fail` path returns `:ok`, preventing Oban from ever retrying. Misleading configuration.
**Fix:** Remove `max_attempts` (use default 1) or return `{:error, reason}` for transient failures.
---
### H21. Unbounded Sequential Processing in Sync Workers
**Files:**
- `gaiia_sync_worker.ex:20`
- `sonar_sync_worker.ex:16`
- `splynx_sync_worker.ex:16`
- `visp_sync_worker.ex:16`
- `netbox_sync_worker.ex:20`
**Severity:** HIGH — Single job processes ALL integrations sequentially; 10+ minute blocks
**Description:** `Enum.map(integrations, &sync_integration/1)` — sequentially syncs every enabled integration in a single Oban job. Blocks the queue slot for extended periods.
**Fix:** Follow `UispSyncWorker` pattern — staggered per-integration jobs with unique constraints.
---
### H22. DataRetentionWorker Unbounded DELETEs
**File:** `lib/towerops/workers/data_retention_worker.ex:61-173`
**Severity:** HIGH — Massive DELETE statements with no batching
**Description:** Each table purged with a single DELETE. On millions of rows: WAL amplification, autovacuum storms, long row locks, blocked concurrent reads.
**Fix:** Use batched deletes (`LIMIT 10000` in a loop) or partition-based truncation.
---
### H23. Sync Workers Silently Swallow Errors
**Files:** All sync workers (uisp, preseem, cn_maestro, sonar, splynx, visp, netbox, gaiia)
**Severity:** HIGH — Transient failures NEVER retried; data silently stale
**Description:** All sync workers log errors but return `:ok`. Network timeouts, API rate limits, DNS failures are all silently accepted. Data goes stale until next cron cycle.
**Fix:** Distinguish permanent (return `:ok`/`:discard`) from transient (return `{:error, reason}` for Oban retry).
---
### H24. WeatherSyncWorker Never Starts
**File:** `lib/towerops/workers/weather_sync_worker.ex`
**Severity:** HIGH — Weather data never fetched (dead code path)
**Description:** Worker self-schedules at end of each run via `schedule_next/0`, but no initial trigger exists in any cron config. First run never occurs.
**Fix:** Add to Oban cron schedule or trigger at application startup.
---
### H25. No Device/Site Organization Validation on Check Creation
**File:** `lib/towerops_web/controllers/api/v1/checks_controller.ex:47-60`
**Severity:** HIGH — Check can reference devices from other organizations
**Description:** Only `check_type` is validated. The `device_id` is not verified to belong to the authenticated org.
**Fix:** Add device access verification using `ScopedResource.fetch/3`.
---
### H26. N+1 Latency Queries per Site Device
**File:** `lib/towerops_web/live/site_live/show.ex:101-128`
**Severity:** HIGH — 50+ queries for large sites
**Description:** Loops through devices calling `Monitoring.get_latency_data` per device. For 50+ devices at a site, 50+ individual queries.
**Fix:** Batch the latency query or add pagination/limit.
---
### H27. Backslash-Wildcard Injection in Search
**File:** `lib/towerops/search.ex:90-94`
**Severity:** HIGH — Search bypass via backslash injection leaks wildcard matching
**Description:** `sanitize/1` escapes `%` and `_` but NOT `\` first. A search for `\%%` becomes `\\%\\%` — PG interprets `\\` as literal `\` followed by `%` wildcard, leaking wildcard matching.
**Fix:** Escape `\` first, or reuse `Towerops.QueryHelpers.sanitize_like/1`.
---
### H28. Nominatim API Response Injected via innerHTML
**File:** `assets/js/hooks/coverage_hooks.ts:635-645`
**Severity:** HIGH — Third-party API response flows into innerHTML
**Description:** Nominatim search API `display_name` is passed directly to `marker.bindPopup()` (innerHTML). If Nominatim is compromised or DNS poisoned, arbitrary JS executes.
**Fix:** Sanitize `display_name` with `escapeHtml()` before `bindPopup()`.
---
### H29. OID Injection via Substring Match in Profiles
**File:** `lib/towerops/profiles/yaml_profiles.ex:788`
**Severity:** HIGH — Incorrect profile matching due to partial OID match
**Description:** `String.contains?(sys_object_id, block.oid)` matches partial octets. OID `1.3.6.1.4.1.9` would incorrectly match `1.3.6.1.4.1.99` because "9" is a substring of "99".
**Fix:** Use `String.starts_with?(sys_object_id <> ".", block.oid <> ".")` for dot-boundary matching.
---
### H30. JobCleanupTask Cancels Executing Jobs
**File:** `lib/towerops/workers/job_cleanup_task.ex:47-63`
**Severity:** HIGH — Rolling deployments kill currently executing poll jobs
**Description:** `cancel_all_jobs` filters on `["available", "scheduled", "executing", "retryable"]` states. In-progress polling/monitoring is discarded.
**Fix:** Exclude `"executing"` state so active jobs complete naturally.
---
## MEDIUM
### M1. Resource Scoping Reveals Org Membership
**File:** `lib/towerops_web/scoped_resource.ex:15-20`
**Severity:** MEDIUM — Cross-org resource existence probing
**Description:** Returns `:forbidden` for wrong-org resources vs `:not_found` for nonexistent. Organization A can probe if a specific resource ID belongs to Organization B.
**Fix:** Return `:not_found` in both cases — use `Repo.get_by(schema, id: id, organization_id: organization_id)`.
---
### M2. Email Lookups Are Case-Sensitive
**File:** `lib/towerops/accounts.ex:39-41`
**Severity:** MEDIUM — Lookalike account registration possible
**Description:** `Repo.get_by(User, email: email)``User@Example.com` and `user@example.com` are separate accounts.
**Fix:** Add `citext` column or use `fragment("LOWER(email) = LOWER(?)", ^email)`.
---
### M3. Captcha/Verification Token Pattern Matches
**File:** `lib/towerops_web/user_auth.ex:70-86` (valid_return_path?)
**Severity:** MEDIUM — Open redirect via URL encoding bypasses
**Description:** Blacklist-based `valid_return_path?` can be bypassed with URL encoding: `/%2f%2fevil.com`, tab injection, double encoding.
**Fix:** Use whitelist approach matching known route prefixes.
---
### M4. Stripe Webhook Signature Not Enforced at Plug Level
**File:** `lib/towerops_web/router.ex:144-148`
**Severity:** MEDIUM — Any future controller could forget to verify
**Description:** Stripe webhook verification is deferred entirely to the controller with no router-level enforcement.
**Fix:** Create a dedicated Stripe webhook auth plug.
---
### M5. Rate Limiting Keyed Only by IP
**File:** `lib/towerops_web/plugs/rate_limit.ex:57`
**Severity:** MEDIUM — NAT'd users share budget; IP-rotation bypasses limits
**Description:** Rate limit key is `"#{type}:#{remote_ip}"` with no user/token component. Users behind NAT share a single budget. Attackers with large IP pools bypass limits entirely.
**Fix:** Include `current_user.id` or token ID in the key: `"#{type}:#{user_id}:#{remote_ip}"`.
---
### M6. `get_node_detail` Loads Entire Organization
**File:** `lib/towerops/topology.ex:612-663`
**Severity:** MEDIUM — Massive unnecessary data transfer for single node lookup
**Description:** Loads ALL device IDs and ALL unlinked DeviceLink records for the entire organization just to find one node.
**Fix:** Find the link directly with a join query based on the discovered node ID.
---
### M7. No Unique Constraint on `(organization_id, email)` for Invitations
**File:** Migration `20251221192513_create_organization_invitations.exs`
**Severity:** MEDIUM — Duplicate pending invitations possible; XSS-like confusion
**Description:** Individual indexes on `token`, `organization_id`, `email` but no composite unique for pending invitations.
**Fix:** Add `create unique_index(:organization_invitations, [:organization_id, :email], where: "accepted_at IS NULL")`.
---
### M8. Webhook Secret Misconfiguration Disclosed
**File:** `lib/towerops_web/plugs/webhook_auth.ex:36-43`
**Severity:** MEDIUM — Attacker can determine webhook endpoint has zero auth
**Description:** Returns `"Webhook authentication not configured"` in the HTTP response body.
**Fix:** Return generic `%{error: "Internal server error"}`.
---
### M9. Information Disclosure via KMZ Error
**File:** `lib/towerops_web/controllers/api/v1/coverages_controller.ex:203-204`
**Severity:** MEDIUM — Internal paths and system errors leaked to client
**Description:** `inspect(reason)` is sent in error response. Could include system paths from `File.read`, `:zip.create`, or file system errors.
**Fix:** Log error server-side, return generic message.
---
### M10. `[membership]` Pattern Match Crash
**File:** `lib/towerops_web/controllers/api/account_data_controller.ex:75`
**Severity:** MEDIUM — 500 error for edge-case membership counts
**Description:** `[membership] = org.memberships` crashes with MatchError if 0 or 2+ memberships.
**Fix:** Use `case org.memberships do [membership] -> ... end`.
---
### M11. ActivityController `String.to_existing_atom` on User Input
**File:** `lib/towerops_web/controllers/api/v1/activity_controller.ex:37-41`
**Severity:** MEDIUM — Unpredictable atom matching from user-supplied strings
**Description:** User-supplied filter types are converted to atoms via `to_existing_atom`. If a string happens to match an internal atom, query behavior could be altered.
**Fix:** Whitelist allowed atom values.
---
### M12. No Superuser Verification in Admin LiveViews
**Files:** All `admin/*.ex` LiveViews
**Severity:** MEDIUM — No defense-in-depth if route misconfiguration exposes admin views
**Description:** Router applies `:require_superuser` but admin LiveViews don't perform their own `current_scope.superuser` check.
**Fix:** Add `on_mount` or `mount` superuser verification to admin LiveViews.
---
### M13. CSV/Download Content-Type Validation Missing
**File:** `assets/js/app.ts:374-393`
**Severity:** MEDIUM — Downloaded HTML file could execute scripts
**Description:** The `phx:download` handler accepts any `mime_type` from server. If server ever allows user content to influence mime_type, an HTML download with scripts could be created.
**Fix:** Add client-side `mime_type` allowlist.
---
### M14. WeatherSyncWorker Blocks Queue with `Process.sleep`
**File:** `lib/towerops/workers/weather_sync_worker.ex:46-53`
**Severity:** MEDIUM — Worker holds queue slot for 110s+ for 100 sites
**Description:** `Process.sleep(1_100)` between each site fetch blocks the Oban queue slot.
**Fix:** Use `Task.async_stream` with `max_concurrency: 1` and `timeout`, or dispatch per-site jobs.
---
### M15. CloudLatencyProbeWorker Unbounded PubSub Message
**File:** `lib/towerops/workers/cloud_latency_probe_worker.ex:39-43`
**Severity:** MEDIUM — Megabyte-sized PubSub messages with many devices
**Description:** Full device list broadcast as single PubSub message. With thousands of devices, this can overwhelm PubSub.
**Fix:** Chunk the device list or send IDs that agents resolve independently.
---
### M16. MutationObserver Not Stored for Cleanup
**File:** `assets/js/app.ts:284-310`
**Severity:** MEDIUM — Memory leak on every page navigation mounting this hook
**Description:** `const observer = new MutationObserver(...)` — stored locally, not as `this.observer`. The `destroyed()` method checks `this.observer` which is never set.
**Fix:** Change `const observer` to `this.observer = ...`.
---
### M17. SNMPv3 Fallback to MD5 Auth Protocol
**Files:** Multiple executor files
**Severity:** MEDIUM — Cryptographically broken auth protocol
**Description:** Default SNMPv3 auth protocol is `"MD5"`. MD5 is cryptographically broken for authentication.
**Fix:** Change default to `"SHA-256"` for new devices.
---
### M18. No String Length Validation for SNMP Credentials in Protobuf
**File:** `lib/towerops/proto/decode.ex:1509-1593`
**Severity:** MEDIUM — Memory exhaustion via oversized credential strings
**Description:** `decode_snmp_device` does NOT call `validate_string` on `community`, `v3_auth_password`, `v3_priv_password`. An attacker could send multi-megabyte credential strings.
**Fix:** Add `validate_string` with reasonable max lengths (255 bytes).
---
### M19. Missing Validation on Multiple Protobuf Decode Paths
**File:** `lib/towerops/proto/decode.ex` (multiple decode functions)
**Severity:** MEDIUM — No validation on `decode_mikrotik_device`, `decode_mikrotik_command`, `decode_check`, `decode_snmp_query`, `decode_sensor`, `decode_interface`
**Description:** Several decode functions have zero validation (no `validate_string` calls, no field-length checks).
**Fix:** Add validation consistent with existing validated decode paths.
---
### M20. MIB Upload — Hard Links Not Checked in Archive Extraction
**File:** `lib/towerops_web/controllers/api/v1/mib_controller.ex:453-458`
**Severity:** MEDIUM — Hard-linked files in archive could overwrite system files
**Description:** `check_no_symlinks` only checks symlinks. Hard links, device nodes, and fifos are not inspected.
**Fix:** Add `check_no_hardlinks(paths)` and `check_no_special_files(paths)` using `File.stat`.
---
### M21. ETS Rate Limit Table Is Public
**File:** `lib/towerops/rate_limit.ex:156-164`
**Severity:** MEDIUM — Any Erlang/Elixir process can manipulate rate limit counters
**Description:** `:ets.new(table, [:named_table, :set, :public, ...])``:public` allows any process to read/write counters.
**Fix:** Use `:protected` and have GenServer expose `hit/3` via `call`.
---
### M22. Impersonation Session Has No Expiry
**File:** `lib/towerops_web/user_auth.ex:879-910`
**Severity:** MEDIUM — Superuser impersonation persists indefinitely
**Description:** If a superuser starts impersonating and walks away, the session continues impersonating until manually stopped.
**Fix:** Tie impersonation to sudo mode or add dedicated `expires_at`.
---
### M23. Permission Checks Silent Failure on Unpreloaded Associations
**File:** `lib/towerops_web/permissions.ex:140-146`
**Severity:** MEDIUM — Hard-to-debug silent denial of access
**Description:** When `org.memberships` is not preloaded, `Ecto.assoc_loaded?` returns false, the `if` block evaluates to `nil`, and `do_can?` returns `false` silently.
**Fix:** Log a warning when permissions are checked without preloaded data.
---
## LOW
### L1. Cloudflare API Token Potentially Leaked in Logs
**File:** `lib/towerops/security/cloudflare_client.ex:47,74-76`
**Severity:** LOW — Debug logging could expose bearer token
**Description:** Cloudflare API token is passed as Bearer token. If HTTP client logs headers in debug mode, token leaks to logs.
**Fix:** Ensure HTTP client strips authorization headers from logs.
---
### L2. 404 Tracker EXPIRE Without NX Flag
**File:** `lib/towerops/security/four_oh_four_tracker.ex:32`
**Severity:** LOW — Attacker can extend tracking window indefinitely
**Description:** `EXPIRE` called on every 404 regardless of whether key already exists. NO `NX` option means each hit refreshes the TTL.
**Fix:** Use `EXPIRE key 60 NX` to only set expiry on first creation.
---
### L3. IPv4-Mapped IPv6 Not Handled in Whitelist
**File:** `lib/towerops/security/brute_force.ex:36-49`
**Severity:** LOW — `::ffff:192.168.1.1` doesn't match whitelist entry `192.168.1.1`
**Description:** Exact string matching means IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses bypass whitelist matching.
**Fix:** Normalize IPs via `:inet.parse_address/1` before comparing.
---
### L4. No Auth on PromEx Metrics Port (Documentation Gap)
**File:** `config/config.exs:106-117`
**Severity:** LOW — Document that network isolation is the only protection
**Description:** `auth_strategy: :none` is acceptable if the port is firewalled, but this should be explicitly documented.
**Fix:** Add comment documenting expected network security.
---
### L5. Vault Initialization Reads Prod Key in Dev
**File:** `lib/towerops/vault.ex:29`
**Severity:** LOW — If `CLOAK_KEY` env var is set, dev uses production encryption key
**Description:** `if System.get_env("CLOAK_KEY") do` — no environment guard. A developer with prod env set will use the production key in dev.
**Fix:** Only read `CLOAK_KEY` in production, or use a separate `CLOAK_KEY_DEV`.
---
### L6. Health Endpoint Leaks App Version
**File:** `lib/towerops_web/controllers/health_controller.ex:29`
**Severity:** LOW — Helps attackers identify vulnerable versions
**Description:** `Application.spec(:towerops, :vsn)` returned publicly.
**Fix:** Remove version from public health endpoint.
---
### L7. Device Capacity Operations Missing Org Scoping
**File:** `lib/towerops_web/live/device_live/show.ex:728-757`
**Severity:** LOW — `interface_id` from params not verified to belong to user's org
**Description:** `set_capacity` handler uses the `interface_id` from client params with no org membership verification.
**Fix:** Verify interface belongs to a device in the user's org.
---
### L8. Insights Dismiss Missing Org Scope
**File:** `lib/towerops_web/live/insights_live/index.ex:71-82`
**Severity:** LOW — IDOR on dismiss, but low impact (read-only dismissal)
**Description:** `Preseem.dismiss_insight(id)` with no org scope check.
**Fix:** Verify org ownership before dismissing.
---
### L9. Duplicate Pattern in Sync Workers
**Files:** `gaiia_sync_worker.ex`, `sonar_sync_worker.ex`, `splynx_sync_worker.ex`, `visp_sync_worker.ex`, `netbox_sync_worker.ex`
**Severity:** LOW — Code duplication invites inconsistency
**Description:** Five workers have identical `should_sync?/1` logic duplicated verbatim.
**Fix:** Extract to `Integrations` context module.
---
### L10. SidebarCollapse Event Listener Not Cleaned Up
**File:** `assets/js/app.ts:316-324`
**Severity:** LOW — Anonymous arrow function can't be removed; listener accumulates
**Description:** `mounted()` adds event listener but no `destroyed()` method to remove it.
**Fix:** Add `destroyed()` with stored handler reference.
---
### L11. WebMCP Navigate Path Not Validated
**File:** `assets/js/app.ts:478-480`
**Severity:** LOW — `window.location.href = path` could accept `javascript:` URLs
**Description:** If a compromised WebMCP agent sends a malicious path, user could be navigated to phishing URL.
**Fix:** Validate path starts with `/`.
---
### L12. `window.liveSocket` Exposed Globally
**File:** `assets/js/app.ts:423`
**Severity:** LOW — CSRF token accessible via `liveSocket.socket.params._csrf_token`
**Description:** Exposing LiveSocket globally makes CSRF token trivially accessible to any XSS.
**Fix:** Guard behind `NODE_ENV !== "production"`.
---
### L13. Overly Broad Changeset in Alert Updates
**File:** `lib/towerops/alerts.ex:391-405`
**Severity:** LOW — `Alert.changeset/2` casts 17 fields for a partial update
**Description:** Using the full changeset for simple field updates (`resolved_at`) is fragile. Extra keys could overwrite system fields.
**Fix:** Use a dedicated changeset or `Ecto.Changeset.change/2`.
---
### L14. `list_checks` No Pagination
**File:** `lib/towerops/monitoring.ex:24-32`
**Severity:** LOW — No limit on check listing for orgs with thousands of checks
**Fix:** Add default limit and pagination support.

### L15. OpenWeatherMap API Key in URL Query Param
**File:** `lib/towerops/weather/client.ex:13,65`
**Severity:** LOW — API key in URL may be logged by Req in debug/trace
**Fix:** Use header-based auth or ensure Req strips query params from logs.

### L16. COW/Vault ETS Table Name Collision Risk
**File:** `lib/towerops/vault.ex` (ETS table naming)
**Severity:** LOW — If two nodes share a node name, ETS table creation could conflict
**Fix:** Use unique ETS names incorporating node identifier.

## SUMMARY
### By Severity
| Severity | Count | Key Areas |
|----------|-------|-----------|
| CRITICAL | 13 | XSS (maps, status page), IDOR (consent, members, reports), auth bypass (GDPR halt, webhook), credential exposure (k8s/secrets.yaml, Stripe in git, MikroTik over PubSub), runtime crash (Repo.all_by), dead code (brute force), SSL (no force_ssl), race condition (device quota) |
| HIGH | 30 | N+1 queries (mobile, Oban, alerts, capacity, latency), race conditions (create_check, apply_agent), injection (Search wildcard, OID, user input → atom/integer), IDOR (reports, checks), auth gaps (webhooks, sessions), CSP/HSTS, hardcoded salts, cookie flags, missing validation (protobuf, check creation), worker reliability (sync errors swallowed, weather never starts, unbounded processing) |
| MEDIUM | 23 | IDOR (resource scoping), email case-sensitivity, open redirect, Stripe webhook not enforced, rate limiting key, overfetching, missing unique constraint, error disclosure, pattern match crashes, admin defense-in-depth, download content-type, queue blocking, PubSub unbounded, memory leaks (MutationObserver), MD5 default, incomplete archive validation, public ETS, impersonation expiry, silent permission failures |
| LOW | 16 | Log leaks, TTL extension, IP normalization, config documentation, vault dev/prod bleed, version disclosure, device capacity scoping, insights IDOR, code duplication, listener cleanup, path validation, liveSocket global, broad changesets, pagination, API key in URL, ETS naming |
**Total: 82 issues** (13 Critical, 30 High, 23 Medium, 16 Low)
### Top 10 Priority Fixes
1. **C1** — Stored XSS in Sites Map popup
2. **C2** — IDOR in policy consent handler (client-controlled user_id)
3. **C3** — Broken `halt()` in GDPR data export
4. **C6**`Repo.all_by/2` runtime crash on password/email changes
5. **C9** — Remove `k8s/secrets.yaml` with live production credentials
6. **C10** — Remove hardcoded Stripe test key from source
7. **C8** — Sanitize `custom_css` in status page to prevent HTML injection
8. **C11** — Enable `force_ssl` in production
9. **H7** — Add auth plug to webhook pipeline
10. **H17** — Fix missing org scope on individual report operations
