Improving FormWrapper - security enhancements #58

Open SamparkBhol opened 2 weeks ago

SamparkBhol commented 2 weeks ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I would like to improve FormWrapper's security features, which don’t fully protect against common security vulnerabilities. Issues such as inadequate CSRF protection, input sanitization, and limited rate limiting expose applications to potential security risks.

Describe the solution you'd like

I’d like FormWrapper to include several key security enhancements:

  1. Advanced CSRF Protection: Implement a double submit cookie pattern, automatic CSRF token rotation, and SameSite cookie attributes to strengthen CSRF defenses. Middleware for CSRF token validation and improved documentation would help ensure secure usage.

  2. Sanitization Pipeline : Integrate a comprehensive input validation pipeline with DOMPurify for sanitization, HTML encoding for special characters, custom sanitization rules, and file upload validation. Additional checks for maximum field length and nested object validation would further prevent XSS and improve data integrity.

  3. Rate Limiting and DOS Protection: Implement IP-based and sliding window rate limiting along with a token bucket algorithm for more robust DOS protection. Support for rate limit headers, configurable blocked IP lists, and automatic IP blocking would improve resource management and security.

  4. Form Encryption: Enable client-side and end-to-end encryption for sensitive fields. Implement secure key management, encrypted field markers, and documentation to protect sensitive data and ensure privacy compliance.

  5. Security Headers and Configuration: Add essential security headers like Content Security Policy (CSP), X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection, Referrer-Policy, Feature-Policy, and HSTS support to enhance browser security and mitigate XSS and iframe risks.

these are somethings we can integrate

Additional context
Integrating these security enhancements would provide a robust defense against common attacks, optimize performance by managing resource usage, and help secure sensitive data more effectively. Using node-cache, DOMPurify, and secure cookie attributes would enable a streamlined and secure implementation. I expect these improvements to enhance security, making FormWrapper a more reliable choice for developers focused on application security.
