Security audit: Fix 8 vulnerabilities in authentication, crypto, and input validation#12
Conversation
- Add SecureConnection with TLS encryption for production use - Replace insecure DefaultConnection to return error instead of fatal - Replace SHA-1 with SHA-256 in test models - Add URL validation to prevent SSRF attacks - Replace panic with error returns in HashID functions - Add ValidateEntityState helper for WithState function - Fix ignored errors in HTTP operations - Add secure HTTP client with timeouts - Add path validation to prevent directory traversal Co-authored-by: bajb <2241334+bajb@users.noreply.github.com>
- Add comprehensive SECURITY.md with guidelines - Add MIGRATION.md for upgrading existing code - Fix string conversion bug in objects requirement test Co-authored-by: bajb <2241334+bajb@users.noreply.github.com>
- Document all 8 security vulnerabilities found and fixed - Provide executive summary and detailed findings - List API changes and recommendations - Include compliance impact analysis Co-authored-by: bajb <2241334+bajb@users.noreply.github.com>

Security audit identified 8 vulnerabilities across gRPC connections, cryptographic practices, input validation, and error handling.
Critical Fixes
Insecure gRPC connections
SecureConnection()with TLS 1.2+ for production useDefaultConnection()to return error instead oflog.Fatalf()Weak cryptographic hash
SSRF vulnerability
NewUploadFromURL(),CopyFromURL(), andgetRemoteFile()Panic on invalid input (DoS vector)
HashID()andHashCID()now return(ID, error)instead of panickingValidateEntityState()helper for pre-validationPath traversal
filepath.Clean()with..detectionNewUpload()andNewUploadFromURL()HTTP client security
