1. ✅ CORS Settings: No explicit CORS configuration found (server-side rendering mode)
2. ✅ CSP Headers: Implemented via middleware
3. ✅ Authentication/Redirects: No authentication system; domain validation implemented
4. ✅ Security Headers: Comprehensive headers implemented
5. ✅ Domain References: All updated to workroot.in

Overall Risk Level: 🟢 LOW (after implementing recommendations)

---

1. Domain Configuration Audit

✅ Domain References

Component	Status	Domain Used
astro.config.mjs	✅ Verified	https://workroot.in
SEO Component	✅ Verified	https://workroot.in
BaseLayout Schema	✅ Verified	https://workroot.in
Sitemap Generator	✅ Verified	https://workroot.in
API Routes	✅ Verified	No hardcoded domains
Environment Config	✅ Verified	No domain-specific config

Finding: All domain references correctly use workroot.in. No instances of workroot.com found in source files.

---

2. Security Headers Audit

🆕 IMPLEMENTED: Comprehensive Security Headers

Created src/middleware.ts with the following security headers:

Content Security Policy (CSP)

Content-Security-Policy:
  default-src 'self';
  script-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline' 'unsafe-eval';
  style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline' https://fonts.googleapis.com;
  img-src 'self' data: https: https://images.unsplash.com;
  font-src 'self' data: https://fonts.gstatic.com;
  connect-src 'self';
  frame-ancestors 'none';
  base-uri 'self';
  form-action 'self';
  upgrade-insecure-requests

Risk Mitigation:

• ✅ Prevents XSS attacks by controlling script sources
• ✅ Prevents clickjacking with frame-ancestors 'none'
• ✅ Forces HTTPS upgrade with upgrade-insecure-requests
• ⚠️ Note: unsafe-inline and unsafe-eval required for Astro framework

X-Frame-Options

X-Frame-Options: DENY

Risk Mitigation: Prevents clickjacking attacks by denying iframe embedding

X-Content-Type-Options

X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff

Risk Mitigation: Prevents MIME-sniffing attacks

Referrer-Policy

Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin

Risk Mitigation: Controls referrer information leakage to external sites

Permissions-Policy

Permissions-Policy: geolocation=(), microphone=(), camera=(), payment=(), usb=(), magnetometer=(), gyroscope=(), accelerometer=()

Risk Mitigation: Disables unnecessary browser APIs that could be exploited

Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS)

Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload

Risk Mitigation: Enforces HTTPS connections (production only)

X-DNS-Prefetch-Control

X-DNS-Prefetch-Control: on

Performance: Allows DNS prefetching for external resources

X-Permitted-Cross-Domain-Policies

X-Permitted-Cross-Domain-Policies: none

Risk Mitigation: Prevents cross-domain policy file access

---

3. CORS Configuration Audit

✅ No CORS Issues Detected

Analysis:

• Application uses Server-Side Rendering (SSR) mode
• No explicit CORS configuration required
• No cross-origin API calls from client-side code
• API routes (/api/health.json, /sitemap.xml) return data from same origin

Recommendation: If future API endpoints need CORS, implement in middleware:

// Example (not currently needed):
if (context.url.pathname.startsWith('/api/')) {
  modifiedResponse.headers.set('Access-Control-Allow-Origin', 'https://workroot.in');
  modifiedResponse.headers.set('Access-Control-Allow-Methods', 'GET, POST, OPTIONS');
}

---

4. Authentication & Redirect Audit

✅ Domain Validation Implemented

Implementation (in src/middleware.ts):

const allowedHosts = ['workroot.in', 'www.workroot.in', 'localhost', '127.0.0.1', '0.0.0.0'];
const requestHost = context.url.hostname;

// Redirect non-canonical domains to workroot.in in production
if (isProduction && !allowedHosts.includes(requestHost)) {
  const canonicalUrl = `https://workroot.in${context.url.pathname}${context.url.search}`;
  return Response.redirect(canonicalUrl, 301);
}

Risk Mitigation:

• ✅ Prevents DNS rebinding attacks
• ✅ Ensures canonical domain usage
• ✅ Maintains SEO consistency
• ✅ Allows localhost for development

Finding: No authentication system detected. Contact form uses client-side handling only.

---

5. External Resource Security

✅ External Resources Audit

Resource	Domain	Purpose	Risk Level
Images	images.unsplash.com	Stock photos	🟢 Low
Fonts	fonts.googleapis.com	Google Fonts	🟢 Low
Font Files	fonts.gstatic.com	Google Font files	🟢 Low

Security Measures:

• ✅ preconnect with crossorigin attribute for external domains
• ✅ CSP whitelists only trusted external domains
• ✅ dns-prefetch for performance optimization
• ✅ No external JavaScript libraries loaded from CDNs

Recommendations:

1. ✅ IMPLEMENTED: CSP headers restrict resource loading to whitelisted domains
2. 💡 OPTIONAL: Self-host Google Fonts for complete control (reduces external dependencies)
3. 💡 OPTIONAL: Use Subresource Integrity (SRI) if loading external scripts in future

---

6. API Endpoint Security

✅ API Routes Audit

/api/health.json

export const GET: APIRoute = async () => {
  return new Response(JSON.stringify({ ... }), {
    status: 200,
    headers: {
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
      'Cache-Control': 'no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate',
    },
  });
};

Security Analysis:

• ✅ Read-only endpoint (GET only)
• ✅ No authentication required (public health check)
• ✅ No sensitive data exposed
• ✅ Proper cache headers prevent caching
• ✅ No domain-specific logic

/sitemap.xml

// Generates sitemap with workroot.in domain
const baseUrl = 'https://workroot.in';

Security Analysis:

• ✅ Read-only endpoint
• ✅ Correctly uses workroot.in domain
• ✅ No sensitive data exposed
• ✅ Public sitemap for SEO

Recommendation: ✅ No changes needed

---

7. Contact Form Security

⚠️ Contact Form Analysis

Current Implementation (src/pages/contact.astro):

• Client-side JavaScript handles form submission
• No server-side form processing detected
• No CSRF protection (not needed without server-side processing)
• No rate limiting (recommend adding if form sends to backend)

Recommendations:

1. If implementing server-side form processing:

   // Implement CSRF protection
   // Add rate limiting (e.g., 5 submissions per hour per IP)
   // Sanitize user inputs
   // Implement honeypot field for bot detection
   

2. Input Validation:

   • ✅ HTML5 validation present (required, type="email")
   • 💡 Add server-side validation when backend is implemented

3. Spam Prevention:

   • 💡 Consider adding reCAPTCHA or similar
   • 💡 Implement honeypot fields

---

8. Environment Variables Security

✅ Environment Configuration Audit

File: .env.example

Analysis:

• ✅ No sensitive data in example file
• ✅ No hardcoded API keys or secrets in codebase
• ✅ Server configuration uses environment variables
• ✅ .env is in .gitignore (prevents accidental commits)

Current Variables:

HOST=0.0.0.0
PORT=10000
NODE_ENV=production

Recommendation: ✅ Continue using environment variables for sensitive configuration

---
