  • Complete security audit of all API routes, auth libs, and crypto utilities
  • Fix 1 (Critical): Add wallet authentication to chat POST endpoint — was accepting messages without verifying sender identity
  • Fix 2 (Critical): Add timing-safe comparison in cronAuth.ts to prevent timing attacks on cron secret
  • Fix 3 (High): Create shared HTML sanitization utility (lib/sanitize.ts) and apply to user-generated content in chat, messages, forum, and profile endpoints
  • Fix 4 (High): Add wallet address format validation to chat, messages, and forum endpoints that previously lacked it
  • Fix 5 (Medium): Use cryptographically secure nonce generation in voteSignature.ts (replaced Math.random with crypto.randomBytes)
  • Fix 6 (Medium): Add wallet authentication to messages POST endpoint
  • Write tests for sanitization utility (17 tests, all passing)
  • Run type-check, lint, build, and full test suite — all passing (86/86 tests, build succeeds)
  • Create SECURITY_AUDIT.md with detailed findings and remediation status

💡 You can make Copilot smarter by setting up custom instructions, customizing its development environment and configuring Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. Learn more Copilot coding agent tips in the docs.
