👤 Settings Page Name Display Fix

Date: 2025-01-18
Status: ✅ COMPLETED
Severity: 🟢 LOW (User Experience Issue)

What Was Fixed:

ISSUE: Settings page was showing "-" for user name when no name was available
Root Cause: User profile doesn't include a name field from wallet authentication
Impact: Poor user experience, unclear user identification

Implementation Details:

Enhanced Display Name Generation:
- Added getDisplayName() function to generate friendly names from wallet addresses
- Falls back to "Wallet User (shortAddr)" when no name is available
- Shows wallet address and user ID for better identification
Updated Components:
- SettingsPage.tsx: Enhanced account information display
- Sidebar.tsx: Improved avatar and username display
- Mobile Sidebar: Consistent display across mobile interface

Implementation:

// Helper to generate display name from wallet address
function getDisplayName(user: any) {
  if (user?.name) return user.name;
  if (user?.email) {
    // Generate a friendly name from wallet address
    const address = user.email.toLowerCase();
    const shortAddr = address.slice(2, 6) + '...' + address.slice(-4);
    return `Wallet User (${shortAddr})`;
  }
  return 'Unknown User';
}

Display Improvements:
- Name: Shows actual name or generated wallet user name
- Wallet Address: Shows shortened wallet address
- User ID: Shows truncated user ID for reference

💰 Playground Total Cost Initialization Fix

Date: 2025-01-18
Status: ✅ COMPLETED
Severity: 🟢 LOW (User Experience Issue)

What Was Fixed:

ISSUE: Playground page was showing current account balance as total cost instead of starting at $0.00
Root Cause: useEffect was incorrectly setting setTotalCost(bal) where bal was the user's balance
Impact: Confusing user experience, incorrect cost tracking

Implementation Details:

Fixed Total Cost Initialization:
- Removed incorrect setTotalCost(bal) call that was setting total cost to user's balance
- Added proper reset to 0 when user changes or page loads
- Total cost now starts at $0.00 and accumulates with each request

Updated Logic:

// Before (INCORRECT):
fetchUserBalance(user.email, jwt).then(bal => {
  if (bal !== null) {
    setTotalCost(bal); // ❌ This was wrong - setting to balance
    secureStorage.setBalance(bal);
  }
});

// After (CORRECT):
fetchUserBalance(user.email, jwt).then(bal => {
  if (bal !== null) {
    // Don't set total cost to balance - it should start at 0
    // setTotalCost(bal);
    secureStorage.setBalance(bal);
  }
});

// Reset total cost to 0 when user changes or page loads
useEffect(() => {
  setTotalCost(0);
}, [user?.id]);

Behavior Changes:
- Before: Total cost showed current account balance (e.g., $65.51)
- After: Total cost starts at $0.00 and accumulates with each API request
- Accumulation: Each request adds its cost to the running total
- Reset: Total cost resets to $0.00 when user changes or page reloads

// ✅ SECURE: Store sensitive data in server-side session, not JWT
req.session.userContext = {
  userId: profile.id,
  email: profile.email,
  walletAddress: walletAddress,
  deviceFingerprint: deviceFingerprint,
  loginTime: Date.now()
};

// ✅ SECURE: JWT contains only minimal, non-sensitive data
const token = jwt.sign(
  {
    sub: profile.id,  // Subject claim (standard) - only user ID
    iat: Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000),  // Issued at
    jti: uuidv4(),  // Unique token ID for revocation
    type: 'access'
    // ❌ NO email, NO fingerprint, NO sensitive data in JWT
  },
  jwtPrivateKey,
  { 
    expiresIn: '1h',
    algorithm: 'RS256'
  }
);

Added Helper Functions:

// ✅ SECURE: Middleware to extract user context from session
export const getUserContext = (req: Request) => {
  return req.session.userContext;
};

// ✅ SECURE: Middleware to validate user session
export const requireUserContext = (req: Request, res: Response, next: NextFunction) => {
  const userContext = getUserContext(req);
  if (!userContext) {
    return next(new AppError(401, 'User session not found'));
  }
  next();
};

- Both components automatically update when login data is fetched

Technical Implementation:

// Sidebar.tsx - Fixed login data fetching
await setUser({
  id: data.user.id,
  email: data.user.email,
  name: data.user.name
}, data.token);

// Fetch data after user is set
const apiKeys = await fetchApiKeysForUser();
secureStorage.setApiKeys(apiKeys);
window.dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent('userDataFetched', { 
  detail: { type: 'apiKeys', data: apiKeys } 
}));

if (balance !== null) {
  secureStorage.setBalance(balance);
  window.dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent('userDataFetched', { 
    detail: { type: 'balance', data: balance } 
  }));
}

// Fetch payment history
const paymentHistoryRes = await fetch(`${API_ENDPOINTS.BALANCE}/payment-history-jwt`, {
  headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${data.token}` }
});
if (paymentHistoryRes.ok) {
  const paymentData = await paymentHistoryRes.json();
  window.dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent('userDataFetched', { 
    detail: { type: 'paymentHistory', data: paymentData.transactions } 
  }));
}

// UserContext.tsx - Added login timestamp
const setUser = async (user: User | null, jwt?: string) => {
  if (user) {
    const userWithTimestamp = {
      ...user,
      loginTimestamp: Date.now() // Force re-renders
    };
    setUserState(userWithTimestamp);
  }
};

// Components now depend on loginTimestamp
useEffect(() => {
  if (user?.id) {
    fetchApiKeys(); // Refetch data
  }
}, [user?.id, user?.loginTimestamp]); // Added loginTimestamp dependency

User Experience Impact:

🔐 Random Salt Encryption Implementation

Date: 2025-01-18
Status: ✅ COMPLETED

What Was Fixed:

CRITICAL VULNERABILITY: Weak encryption key derivation using predictable salt
Risk: Rainbow table attacks and key reuse vulnerabilities
Impact: High - Encryption keys could be pre-computed for known users

Implementation Details:

Random Salt Generation:
- Each encryption now uses a truly random 32-byte salt
- Salt generated using crypto.getRandomValues() for cryptographic randomness
- No longer predictable based on user data
Salt Storage with Encrypted Data:
- Salt is stored alongside encrypted data in format: salt + iv + ciphertext
- Each piece of encrypted data has its own unique salt
- Prevents rainbow table attacks and key reuse

Updated Encryption Functions:

// New secure key derivation
const deriveUserKey = async (userId: string, userEmail: string, salt?: Uint8Array): Promise<{ key: CryptoKey, salt: Uint8Array }>

// Updated encryption with salt storage
const encryptApiKeys = async (data: string, userId: string, userEmail: string): Promise<string>
export const encryptJWT = async (jwt: string, userId: string, userEmail: string): Promise<string>

// Updated decryption with salt extraction
const decryptApiKeys = async (encryptedData: string, userId: string, userEmail: string): Promise<string>
export const decryptJWT = async (encryptedJWT: string, userId: string, userEmail: string): Promise<string>

Security Benefits:

✅ Random Salt: Each encryption uses unique random salt
✅ Rainbow Table Protection: Pre-computed attacks become impossible
✅ Key Uniqueness: Each piece of encrypted data uses different derived key
✅ Cryptographic Randomness: Uses Web Crypto API for secure random generation
✅ Salt Storage: Salt stored with encrypted data for proper decryption

Files Modified:

frontend/src/utils/secureStorage.ts - Updated key derivation and encryption functions

🔐 Secure Navigation Implementation

Date: 2025-01-18
Status: ✅ COMPLETED

What Was Fixed:

HIGH VULNERABILITY: Unvalidated redirect in navigation
Risk: Open redirect attacks and malicious navigation
Impact: High - Users could be redirected to malicious sites

Implementation Details:

Navigation Path Validation:
- Created whitelist of allowed navigation paths
- Implemented comprehensive path validation to prevent open redirects
- Added protection against protocol-based attacks and directory traversal

Secure Navigation Utility:

// Shared validation utility
export const ALLOWED_NAVIGATION_PATHS = ['/', '/home', '/models', '/playground', '/usage', '/api-keys', '/settings', '/docs']

export const validateNavigationPath = (path: string): path is AllowedPath
export const safeNavigate = (navigate: (path: string) => void, path: string): boolean

Attack Prevention:
- External URLs: Blocks http://, https://, // protocols
- Protocol Attacks: Blocks javascript:, data:, vbscript: protocols
- Directory Traversal: Blocks .., ./, /. patterns
- Null Byte Injection: Blocks \0 and %00 characters
- Query/Fragment Injection: Blocks malicious query parameters and fragments
Updated Components:
- ✅ ApiKeysPage.tsx - Updated to use secure navigation
- ✅ TopSection.tsx - Updated to use secure navigation
- ✅ ModelsPage.tsx - Updated to use secure navigation
- ✅ UsagePage.tsx - Updated to use secure navigation
- ✅ SettingsPage.tsx - Updated to use secure navigation
- ✅ PlaygroundPage.tsx - Updated to use secure navigation
- ✅ DocsPage.tsx - Updated to use secure navigation

Security Benefits:

✅ Open Redirect Protection: Prevents malicious redirects
✅ Path Validation: Only allows navigation to whitelisted paths
✅ Protocol Security: Blocks dangerous protocol handlers
✅ Directory Traversal Protection: Prevents path manipulation attacks
✅ Null Byte Protection: Blocks null byte injection attacks
✅ Centralized Security: Shared validation utility across all components

Files Modified:

frontend/src/utils/validation.ts - Added secure navigation utilities
All component files - Updated to use secure navigation validation

Testing Required:

Verify login/logout flow works correctly
Test API calls with encrypted JWT
Verify JWT is properly cleared on logout
Test cross-tab session synchronization
Verify encryption/decryption works correctly
Fix payment history display in settings page
Test new random salt encryption with existing data
Verify backward compatibility with old encrypted data

Recent Fixes:

Debug Code Removal: Removed all debug functions and extensive logging for security
- Problem: Debug functions and extensive console logging exposed sensitive information
- Risk: Information disclosure, billing details exposure, system architecture revelation
- Solution: Removed all debug functions and extensive logging while keeping essential error logging
- Security Features Removed:
  - debugApiKeys function from secureStorage.ts
  - 50+ billing debug logs from proxy.ts
  - Synchronous billing debug logs
  - Dynamic billing debug logs
  - Test comments and development console logs
  - Debug JWT status logging
- Files Modified:
  - frontend/src/utils/secureStorage.ts - Removed debugApiKeys function
  - backend/src/routes/proxy.ts - Removed extensive debug logging
  - backend/src/index.ts - Removed development console logs
Input Length Validation: Added length validation to prevent DoS attacks
- Problem: Input fields lacked length limits, allowing extremely long inputs that could cause DoS
- Risk: Server resource exhaustion, memory overflow, application crashes
- Solution: Implemented client-side length validation with HTML maxLength attributes
- Security Features Added:
  - API Key Name input: 50 character limit (matches Zod schema)
  - Search input: 100 character limit (reasonable for search queries)
  - HTML maxLength attributes for additional browser-level protection
  - Client-side validation to prevent oversized inputs
- Files Modified:
  - frontend/src/components/ApiKeysPage.tsx - Added API key name length validation
  - frontend/src/components/PlaygroundPage.tsx - Added search input length validation
API Key Memory Exposure: Enhanced API key memory clearing implementation
- Problem: API keys stored in React state persisted in memory even after component unmount
- Risk: Memory dumps could expose API keys, malicious extensions could access state
- Solution: Implemented comprehensive memory clearing with overwriting and enhanced security measures
- Security Features Added:
  - Memory overwriting with random data before clearing
  - Page visibility API integration (clears data when tab hidden)
  - Navigation cleanup (clears data before page changes)
  - Logout cleanup (clears data on logout)
  - Component unmount cleanup
  - Enhanced fetch function with memory management
  - Enhanced delete function with memory clearing
  - Immediate memory clearing after API key operations
  - Array overwriting to prevent data recovery
- Files Modified:
  - frontend/src/components/ApiKeysPage.tsx - Enhanced memory clearing functions
Payment History Issue: Fixed payment history not showing in settings page
- Problem: Backend endpoint expected API keys, frontend was sending JWT tokens
- Solution: Created new JWT-based payment history endpoint (/balance/payment-history-jwt)
- Files Modified:
  - backend/src/routes/balance.ts - Added JWT-based endpoint
  - frontend/src/components/SettingsPage.tsx - Updated to use JWT endpoint
  - frontend/src/config.ts - Added new endpoint to config

Troubleshooting:

If balance or API keys are not being fetched:

Check JWT Status:

// In browser console
import { debugJWTStatus } from './utils/secureStorage';
debugJWTStatus();

Common Issues:
- JWT not in memory: Check if login was successful
- Encryption failed: Check if user context is set correctly
- API calls failing: Verify backend is running and accessible
- Salt decryption error: Old encrypted data may need re-encryption
Debug Steps:
- Check browser console for errors
- Verify sessionStorage contains encrypted JWT
- Test API endpoints directly
- Check network tab for failed requests

Next Steps:

Test the implementation thoroughly
Monitor for any issues in production
Consider implementing httpOnly cookies for even better security
Add JWT expiration handling and auto-refresh mechanism
Handle migration of existing encrypted data to new salt format
