HTTP Toolkit UI Pro - Security Policy

πŸ›‘οΈ Security Overview

HTTP Toolkit UI Pro takes security seriously and is committed to protecting our users and maintaining a secure development ecosystem. This document outlines our security practices and procedures.

πŸ”’ Security Features

Built-in Protections

  • Content Security Policy (CSP): Prevents XSS attacks by restricting resource loading
  • Input Sanitization: All user inputs are sanitized using DOMPurify
  • HTTPS Enforcement: Automatic redirection to secure connections
  • Secure Headers: Implementation of security-focused HTTP headers
  • Dependency Scanning: Automated vulnerability scanning of dependencies

Data Protection

  • Local Storage: Sensitive data is stored securely in browser's local storage
  • Encryption: Client-side encryption for sensitive configuration data
  • No Data Collection: No personal data is collected without explicit consent
  • Privacy by Design: Privacy considerations built into all features

🚨 Reporting Security Issues

  • Regular security training for developers

Dependency Management

  • Automated dependency scanning with npm audit
  • Regular updates of third-party libraries
  • Vulnerability assessment for new dependencies

Testing

  • Security-focused unit tests
  • Integration tests for authentication flows
  • Regular penetration testing

Operational Security

Infrastructure

  • Regular security updates for all systems
  • Network segmentation and firewalls
  • Intrusion detection and monitoring

Data Protection

  • Encrypted data transmission (TLS 1.3)
  • Secure backup procedures
  • Access control and authentication

Monitoring

  • Real-time security monitoring
  • Automated alerting for suspicious activities
  • Regular security audits

πŸ› οΈ Secure Development Guidelines

Input Validation

// βœ… Secure: Validate and sanitize all inputs
import DOMPurify from 'dompurify';

export const sanitizeUserInput = (input: string): string => {
    return DOMPurify.sanitize(input, {
        ALLOWED_TAGS: ['b', 'i', 'em', 'strong'],
        ALLOWED_ATTR: ['class'],
        ALLOW_DATA_ATTR: false
    });
};

// ❌ Insecure: Direct use of user input
export const insecureExample = (input: string) => {
    return <div dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{ __html: input }} />;
};

Authentication & Authorization

// βœ… Secure: Proper session management
export const secureAuth = {
    login: async (credentials: Credentials) => {
        const response = await api.login(credentials);
        if (response.token) {
            // Store token securely
            await secureStorage.setItem('authToken', response.token);
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    },
    
    logout: async () => {
        await secureStorage.removeItem('authToken');
        await api.logout();
    }
};

// ❌ Insecure: Storing tokens in localStorage
export const insecureAuth = {
    login: async (credentials: Credentials) => {
        const token = await api.login(credentials);
        localStorage.setItem('token', token); // Vulnerable to XSS
    }
};

API Security

// βœ… Secure: Proper error handling
export const secureApiCall = async (endpoint: string) => {
    try {
        const response = await fetch(endpoint, {
            headers: {
                'Content-Type': 'application/json',
                'X-CSRF-Token': getCsrfToken()
            }
        });
        
        if (!response.ok) {
            throw new Error(`HTTP error! status: ${response.status}`);
        }
        
        return await response.json();
    } catch (error) {
        // Log error without exposing sensitive information
        console.error('API call failed:', error.message);
        throw new Error('Request failed');
    }
};

πŸ” Security Headers
