Audit Checklist

Security Audit

Authentication & Authorization

✅ Check:

• Passwords hashed with strong algorithm (bcrypt, cost ≥12)
• JWT tokens use secure signing (HS256/RS256)
• Token expiry times appropriate
• Refresh token rotation implemented
• Session management secure
• Password complexity requirements enforced
• Account lockout after failed attempts

Example Issues:

// ❌ BAD: Weak password hashing
passwordHash := md5.Sum([]byte(password))

// ✅ GOOD: Strong password hashing
passwordHash, err := bcrypt.GenerateFromPassword([]byte(password), 12)

// ❌ BAD: Token stored in localStorage (XSS vulnerable)
localStorage.setItem('token', accessToken);

// ✅ GOOD: Token stored in encrypted electron-store
store.set('jwtToken', accessToken);

Input Validation

✅ Check:

• All user input validated
• SQL injection prevented (parameterized queries)
• XSS prevented (input sanitization)
• CSRF protection implemented
• File upload restrictions enforced
• Phone number format validation
• Email validation (if used)

Example Issues:

// ❌ BAD: SQL injection vulnerability
query := fmt.Sprintf("SELECT * FROM users WHERE phone='%s'", phone)

// ✅ GOOD: Parameterized query
query := "SELECT * FROM users WHERE phone_number = $1"
row := db.QueryRow(query, phone)

// ❌ BAD: No input validation
const createAccount = (phone: string, password: string) => {
  // Direct use without validation
}

// ✅ GOOD: Input validation
const createAccount = (phone: string, password: string) => {
  if (!validatePhoneNumber(phone)) {
    throw new Error('Invalid phone number');
  }
  if (password.length < 8) {
    throw new Error('Password too short');
  }
}

Secrets Management

✅ Check:

• No hardcoded secrets in code
• Environment variables used for secrets
• .env files in .gitignore
• JWT secret minimum 32 characters
• Database credentials not in code
• API keys not committed to git
• Secrets rotated regularly (documented)

Example Issues:

// ❌ BAD: Hardcoded secret
jwtSecret := "my-secret-key"

// ✅ GOOD: Environment variable
jwtSecret := os.Getenv("JWT_SECRET")
if jwtSecret == "" {
  log.Fatal("JWT_SECRET not set")
}
if len(jwtSecret) < 32 {
  log.Fatal("JWT_SECRET must be at least 32 characters")
}

Cryptography

✅ Check:

• Using standard crypto libraries (no custom crypto)
• TLS/HTTPS enforced in production
• Certificate validation enabled
• Secure random number generation
• No deprecated crypto algorithms
• Proper key derivation (PBKDF2, bcrypt, scrypt)

Example Issues:

// ❌ BAD: Weak random generation
const token = Math.random().toString(36);

// ✅ GOOD: Crypto-secure random
import { randomBytes } from 'crypto';
const token = randomBytes(32).toString('hex');

Data Protection

✅ Check:

• Sensitive data encrypted at rest
• Sensitive data encrypted in transit
• PII handling compliant (GDPR, CCPA)
• Data retention policies documented
• Secure deletion implemented
• Audit logs for sensitive operations
• Rate limiting on sensitive endpoints

Code Quality Audit

Error Handling

✅ Check:

• All errors properly handled
• No empty catch blocks
• Errors logged with context
• User-friendly error messages
• Error messages don't leak sensitive info
• Proper error propagation
• Graceful degradation

Example Issues:

// ❌ BAD: Ignored error
user, _ := getUserByPhone(phone)

// ✅ GOOD: Proper error handling
user, err := getUserByPhone(phone)
if err != nil {
  log.Printf("[ERROR] Failed to get user %s: %v", phone, err)
  return nil, fmt.Errorf("user lookup failed: %w", err)
}

// ❌ BAD: Generic error message
catch (error) {
  throw new Error('Something went wrong');
}

// ✅ GOOD: Specific, actionable error
catch (error) {
  if (error.code === 'ECONNREFUSED') {
    throw new Error('Backend server is not available. Please check your connection.');
  }
  log.error('API call failed:', error);
  throw error;
}

Code Organization

✅ Check:

• Single Responsibility Principle followed
• Functions/methods under 50 lines
• Files under 500 lines
• Proper separation of concerns
• No God objects/classes
• Consistent file structure
• Logical code grouping

Example Issues:

// ❌ BAD: One file doing everything (500+ lines)
class AuthService {
  login() { /* 100 lines */ }
  register() { /* 100 lines */ }
  sendOTP() { /* 50 lines */ }
  verifyOTP() { /* 50 lines */ }
  validatePhone() { /* 30 lines */ }
  hashPassword() { /* 20 lines */ }
  // ... many more methods
}

// ✅ GOOD: Separated concerns
class AuthService {
  constructor(
    private otpService: OTPService,
    private passwordService: PasswordService,
    private phoneValidator: PhoneValidator
  ) {}

  async login(phone: string, password: string) { /* 20 lines */ }
  async register(phone: string, password: string) { /* 25 lines */ }
}

Naming Conventions

✅ Check:

• Descriptive variable names
• Function names are verbs
• Class names are nouns
• Constants in UPPER_CASE
• Boolean variables prefixed (is, has, should)
• Consistent naming across platforms
• No abbreviations unless standard

Example Issues:

// ❌ BAD: Unclear naming
func p(u string, p string) error { }

// ✅ GOOD: Clear naming
func authenticateUser(phoneNumber string, password string) error { }

Documentation

✅ Check:

• All public functions documented
• Complex logic explained with comments
• API endpoints documented
• README up-to-date
• Inline comments for "why" not "what"
• Type definitions documented
• Examples provided

Example Issues:

// ❌ BAD: No documentation
function validateToken(token: string): boolean {
  // Complex validation logic
}

// ✅ GOOD: Documented
/**
 * Validates a JWT token's signature and expiry.
 *
 * @param token - The JWT token string to validate
 * @returns true if token is valid and not expired, false otherwise
 * @throws Error if token format is invalid
 */
function validateToken(token: string): boolean {
  // Validation logic
}

Architecture Audit

Separation of Concerns

✅ Check:

• Business logic separated from UI
• Data layer separated from business logic
• API layer clearly defined
• No business logic in database
• No UI logic in services
• Clear module boundaries

Example Issues:

// ❌ BAD: UI component contains business logic
const LoginScreen = () => {
  const handleLogin = async () => {
    // Database query in UI component
    const user = await db.query('SELECT * FROM users WHERE phone = ?', phone);
    if (user && bcrypt.compareSync(password, user.password_hash)) {
      // JWT generation in UI
      const token = jwt.sign({ userId: user.id }, SECRET);
      // Success
    }
  };
};

// ✅ GOOD: Proper separation
const LoginScreen = () => {
  const authService = useAuthService();

  const handleLogin = async () => {
    const result = await authService.login(phone, password);
    if (result.success) {
      navigate('/dashboard');
    }
  };
};

Dependency Management

✅ Check:

• No circular dependencies
• Dependencies clearly documented
• Minimal external dependencies
• All dependencies security-scanned
• Dependency versions pinned
• Unused dependencies removed
• Dependency injection used appropriately

Check for issues:

# Desktop (npm)
npm audit
npm outdated

# Backend (Go)
go mod verify
go list -m -u all

# iOS (CocoaPods)
pod outdated

# Android (Gradle)
./gradlew dependencyUpdates

API Design

✅ Check:

• RESTful principles followed
• Consistent endpoint naming
• Proper HTTP methods used
• Appropriate status codes
• Versioned API endpoints (/v1/)
• Consistent response format
• Error responses standardized

Example Issues:

❌ BAD: Inconsistent API design
POST /login              → {user: {...}, token: "..."}
POST /register           → {success: true, data: {...}}
GET  /getUserProfile     → {profile: {...}}

✅ GOOD: Consistent API design
POST /v1/auth/login      → {success: true, user: {...}, accessToken: "..."}
POST /v1/auth/register   → {success: true, user: {...}, accessToken: "..."}
GET  /v1/user/profile    → {success: true, profile: {...}}

Performance Audit

Database Queries

✅ Check:

• All foreign keys indexed
• Frequently queried columns indexed
• No N+1 query problems
• Queries use EXPLAIN ANALYZE
• Connection pooling configured
• Transaction boundaries appropriate
• Batch operations where possible

Example Issues:

-- ❌ BAD: Missing index
SELECT * FROM vpn_connections WHERE user_id = 123;
-- No index on user_id → Full table scan

-- ✅ GOOD: Indexed column
CREATE INDEX idx_vpn_connections_user_id ON vpn_connections(user_id);
SELECT * FROM vpn_connections WHERE user_id = 123;

// ❌ BAD: N+1 query problem
users := getUsers()
for _, user := range users {
  stats := getStatsForUser(user.ID) // Query per user!
}

// ✅ GOOD: Single query with JOIN
stats := getUsersWithStats() // One query with JOIN

Resource Management

✅ Check:

• Database connections closed
• File handles closed
• HTTP connections reused
• Memory leaks absent
• Goroutine/async leaks absent
• Proper cleanup in finally/defer
• Caching implemented appropriately

Example Issues:

// ❌ BAD: Resource leak
func getData() ([]byte, error) {
  resp, err := http.Get(url)
  if err != nil {
    return nil, err
  }
  return ioutil.ReadAll(resp.Body)
  // Body never closed!
}

// ✅ GOOD: Proper cleanup
func getData() ([]byte, error) {
  resp, err := http.Get(url)
  if err != nil {
    return nil, err
  }
  defer resp.Body.Close()
  return ioutil.ReadAll(resp.Body)
}

Algorithmic Efficiency

✅ Check:

• Time complexity reasonable
• Space complexity acceptable
• No unnecessary iterations
• Appropriate data structures used
• Search/sort algorithms optimal
• Batch processing where possible

Example Issues:

// ❌ BAD: O(n²) when O(n) possible
const findDuplicates = (arr: string[]) => {
  const duplicates = [];
  for (let i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
    for (let j = i + 1; j < arr.length; j++) {
      if (arr[i] === arr[j]) duplicates.push(arr[i]);
    }
  }
  return duplicates;
};

// ✅ GOOD: O(n) with Set
const findDuplicates = (arr: string[]) => {
  const seen = new Set();
  const duplicates = new Set();
  for (const item of arr) {
    if (seen.has(item)) duplicates.add(item);
    seen.add(item);
  }
  return Array.from(duplicates);
};
