CRITICAL	5	Security vulnerabilities, data loss risk
HIGH	12	Broken functionality, UX blockers
MEDIUM	18	Missing features, technical debt
LOW	12	Nice-to-have improvements

---

1. CRITICAL Issues (Must Fix Before Production)

1.1 Missing Input Validation [CRITICAL]

Location: lib/actions.ts (all server actions)

Issue: Server actions accept user input without validation. Attackers could inject malicious data or cause database errors.

Current Code:

export async function createTask(formData: {
  title: string
  // ... accepts any string
}) {
  const { data, error } = await supabase.from('tasks').insert({
    title: formData.title,  // Raw input!
    // ...
  })
}

Fix Required:

import { z } from 'zod'

const createTaskSchema = z.object({
  title: z.string().min(1).max(200).trim(),
  description: z.string().max(2000).optional(),
  type: z.enum(['task', 'chore']),
  area: z.string().max(50).optional(),
  recurrence: z.enum(['none', 'daily', 'weekly', 'biweekly', 'monthly']).default('none'),
  due_date: z.string().datetime().optional(),
})

export async function createTask(formData: unknown) {
  const parsed = createTaskSchema.safeParse(formData)
  if (!parsed.success) {
    return { error: 'Invalid input', details: parsed.error.flatten() }
  }
  // Use parsed.data
}

Files to Update:

• lib/actions.ts - All 30+ actions
• Add zod to dependencies

---

1.2 Secrets Not Encrypted [CRITICAL]

Location: secrets table, integrations.config

Issue: Sensitive credentials stored as plain text in database. Compromised database = compromised credentials.

Current State:

• secrets.value stores plain text
• integrations.config stores API keys in JSONB

Fix Required:

1. Add encryption layer using @vercel/kv or custom AES-256-GCM
2. Encrypt on write, decrypt on read
3. Store encryption key in environment variable

import crypto from 'crypto'

const ENCRYPTION_KEY = process.env.SECRETS_ENCRYPTION_KEY! // 32 bytes

function encrypt(text: string): string {
  const iv = crypto.randomBytes(16)
  const cipher = crypto.createCipheriv('aes-256-gcm', Buffer.from(ENCRYPTION_KEY, 'hex'), iv)
  let encrypted = cipher.update(text, 'utf8', 'hex')
  encrypted += cipher.final('hex')
  const authTag = cipher.getAuthTag().toString('hex')
  return `${iv.toString('hex')}:${authTag}:${encrypted}`
}

function decrypt(encrypted: string): string {
  const [ivHex, authTagHex, encryptedText] = encrypted.split(':')
  const decipher = crypto.createDecipheriv('aes-256-gcm', Buffer.from(ENCRYPTION_KEY, 'hex'), Buffer.from(ivHex, 'hex'))
  decipher.setAuthTag(Buffer.from(authTagHex, 'hex'))
  let decrypted = decipher.update(encryptedText, 'hex', 'utf8')
  decrypted += decipher.final('utf8')
  return decrypted
}

---

1.3 Rate Limiting Missing [CRITICAL]

Location: All server actions, middleware

Issue: No rate limiting on auth endpoints or API calls. Vulnerable to:

• Brute force password attacks
• Denial of service
• Resource exhaustion

Fix Required:

// middleware.ts
import { Ratelimit } from '@upstash/ratelimit'
import { Redis } from '@upstash/redis'

const ratelimit = new Ratelimit({
  redis: Redis.fromEnv(),
  limiter: Ratelimit.slidingWindow(10, '10 s'), // 10 requests per 10 seconds
})

export async function middleware(request: NextRequest) {
  const ip = request.ip ?? '127.0.0.1'
  const { success, limit, reset, remaining } = await ratelimit.limit(ip)
  
  if (!success) {
    return new NextResponse('Too Many Requests', {
      status: 429,
      headers: {
        'X-RateLimit-Limit': limit.toString(),
        'X-RateLimit-Remaining': remaining.toString(),
        'X-RateLimit-Reset': reset.toString(),
      },
    })
  }
  // Continue...
}

---

1.4 CSRF Protection Missing [CRITICAL]

Location: All forms

Issue: Forms don't include CSRF tokens. Attackers could trick users into performing actions.

Current State: Server actions bypass traditional CSRF but still vulnerable in some scenarios.

Fix Required:

1. Verify Origin header in server actions
2. Add CSRF token for sensitive operations

// In server actions
export async function deleteSecret(secretId: string) {
  const headersList = headers()
  const origin = headersList.get('origin')
  const host = headersList.get('host')
  
  if (origin && !origin.includes(host!)) {
    return { error: 'Invalid origin' }
  }
  // Continue...
}

---

1.5 Admin Client Exposure Risk [CRITICAL]

Location: lib/supabase/admin.ts

Issue: Service role key used in several places. Any mistake could expose it to client.

Current Usage:

• lib/auth-actions.ts - createSpace, joinSpace
• Signup trigger uses SECURITY DEFINER (safe)

Fix Required:

1. Audit all admin client usage
2. Move admin operations to dedicated API routes
3. Add ESLint rule to prevent client-side imports

// .eslintrc.js
module.exports = {
  rules: {
    'no-restricted-imports': [
      'error',
      {
        paths: [{
          name: '@/lib/supabase/admin',
          message: 'Admin client should only be used in API routes, not client components.',
        }],
      },
    ],
  },
}

---

2. HIGH Priority Issues

2.1 Social Auth Buttons Non-Functional [HIGH]

Location: app/login/page.tsx

Issue: GitHub and Google buttons are rendered but don't work.

Fix:

async function handleGitHubLogin() {
  const supabase = createClient()
  const { error } = await supabase.auth.signInWithOAuth({
    provider: 'github',
    options: {
      redirectTo: `${window.location.origin}/auth/callback`,
    },
  })
  if (error) setError(error.message)
}

Also Required:

• Configure OAuth providers in Supabase Dashboard
• Add provider credentials

---

2.2 Import Feature Non-Functional [HIGH]

Location: app/(app)/import/page.tsx

Issue: File upload and database connector UI exists but doesn't process files.

Fix Required:

1. Add file input handler
2. Implement CSV parser (use papaparse)
3. Add column mapping logic
4. Implement batch insert

'use client'
import Papa from 'papaparse'
import { importMembers } from '@/lib/actions'

function handleFileUpload(event: React.ChangeEvent<HTMLInputElement>) {
  const file = event.target.files?.[0]
  if (!file) return

  Papa.parse(file, {
    header: true,
    complete: async (results) => {
      const mappedRows = results.data.map(row => ({
        display_name: row['Full Name'],
        email: row['Email'],
        // ... map other fields
      }))
      const result = await importMembers(mappedRows)
      // Handle result
    },
    error: (error) => setError(error.message),
  })
}

---

2.3 Payment Platform Integrations [HIGH]

Location: app/(app)/settings/settings-client.tsx

Issue: PayPal, Zeffy, Venmo integrations are UI-only. No actual API connections.

Status:

• Integration config storage works
• No OAuth flows
• No transaction sync
• No webhooks

Required Work:

1. PayPal: Implement OAuth 2.0, transaction API
2. Zeffy: Implement API key auth, webhook handler
3. Venmo: Research Business API availability

---

2.4 Webhook Endpoint Missing [HIGH]

Location: Settings shows webhook URL but no endpoint exists

Issue: URL https://api.hackerspace.sh/{slug}/members is displayed but endpoint doesn't exist.

Fix Required:

// app/api/[slug]/members/route.ts
import { createAdminClient } from '@/lib/supabase/admin'
import { headers } from 'next/headers'
import crypto from 'crypto'

export async function POST(
  request: Request,
  { params }: { params: { slug: string } }
) {
  const headersList = headers()
  const signature = headersList.get('x-webhook-signature')
  
  const admin = createAdminClient()
  const { data: space } = await admin
    .from('spaces')
    .select('id, webhook_secret')
    .eq('slug', params.slug)
    .single()

  if (!space || !space.webhook_secret) {
    return Response.json({ error: 'Invalid space' }, { status: 404 })
  }

  // Verify signature
  const body = await request.text()
  const expectedSignature = crypto
    .createHmac('sha256', space.webhook_secret)
    .update(body)
    .digest('hex')

  if (signature !== expectedSignature) {
    return Response.json({ error: 'Invalid signature' }, { status: 401 })
  }

  // Process webhook payload
  const data = JSON.parse(body)
  // ...

  return Response.json({ success: true })
}

---

2.5 Error Boundaries Missing [HIGH]

Location: All pages

Issue: No error boundaries. Unhandled errors crash entire app.

Fix Required:

// app/(app)/error.tsx
'use client'

export default function Error({
  error,
  reset,
}: {
  error: Error & { digest?: string }
  reset: () => void
}) {
  return (
    <div className="min-h-screen flex items-center justify-center">
      <div className="text-center">
        <h2 className="text-xl font-semibold mb-2">Something went wrong</h2>
        <p className="text-muted-foreground mb-4">{error.message}</p>
        <button onClick={reset} className="bg-primary text-white px-4 py-2 rounded">
          Try again
        </button>
      </div>
    </div>
  )
}

---

2.6 Loading States Inconsistent [HIGH]

Location: Multiple pages

Issue: Some pages have loading states, others show blank while data loads.

Fix Required: Add loading.tsx to all route groups:

// app/(app)/loading.tsx
export default function Loading() {
  return (
    <div className="min-h-screen flex items-center justify-center">
      <Spinner className="w-8 h-8" />
    </div>
  )
}

---

2.7 Session Refresh Issues [HIGH]

Location: Long-running sessions

Issue: Session may expire during use without proper refresh.

Current: Middleware calls updateSession but client components don't handle expiry.

Fix Required:

// Add to layout or hook
useEffect(() => {
  const { data: { subscription } } = supabase.auth.onAuthStateChange((event) => {
    if (event === 'SIGNED_OUT' || event === 'TOKEN_REFRESHED') {
      router.refresh()
    }
  })
  return () => subscription.unsubscribe()
}, [])

---

---

3.4 Database Queries Not Optimized

Issue: Some pages make sequential queries that could be parallel.

Example Fix:

// Before: Sequential
const { data: tasks } = await supabase.from('tasks').select('*')
const { data: projects } = await supabase.from('projects').select('*')

// After: Parallel
const [{ data: tasks }, { data: projects }] = await Promise.all([
  supabase.from('tasks').select('*'),
  supabase.from('projects').select('*'),
])
