| 3 | +## 🔒 Security Issues |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +### 1. **Path Traversal Vulnerability in `remove()` function** (Critical) |
| 6 | +**Location:** `functions.php:205-222` |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +**Issue:** The function uses `urldecode()` on user input and concatenates it directly with the audio path without proper validation. This allows directory traversal attacks like `../../../etc/passwd`. |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +**Fix:** |
| 11 | +```php |
| 12 | +function remove($file) { |
| 13 | + $file = urldecode($file); |
| 14 | + $file = basename($file); // Prevent path traversal |
| 15 | + $audioPath = getConfig("audio_path"); |
| 16 | + $filePath = realpath($audioPath . '/' . $file); |
| 17 | + $audioPathReal = realpath($audioPath); |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | + // Verify file is within audio path directory |
| 20 | + if ($filePath === false || strpos($filePath, $audioPathReal) !== 0) { |
| 21 | + return apiResponse("error", "Invalid file path."); |
| 22 | + } |
| 23 | + // ... rest of function |
| 24 | +} |
| 25 | +``` |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +### 2. **Missing Path Traversal Protection in `getDuration()`** |
| 28 | +**Location:** `functions.php:36-50` |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +**Issue:** Function accepts file paths without validation. Could be exploited if called with user-controlled input. |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +**Recommendation:** Add path validation or ensure it's only called with sanitized paths. |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +### 3. **XSS Vulnerability in HTML Output** |
| 35 | +**Location:** Multiple locations (e.g., `functions.php:213, 216, 322`) |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +**Issue:** Error messages containing user input are wrapped in `<code>` tags but user input isn't escaped before being inserted. |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +**Fix:** Use `htmlspecialchars()` on all user-provided values before output: |
| 40 | +```php |
| 41 | +return apiResponse("error", "The directory <code>".htmlspecialchars(CONFIG["audio_path"], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8')."</code> is not writable."); |
| 42 | +``` |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +### 4. **File Upload Security Enhancement** |
| 45 | +**Location:** `functions.php:319` |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +**Issue:** While `basename()` is used, the filename could still contain dangerous characters. Also, MIME type validation is missing. |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +**Recommendation:** |
| 50 | +- Validate MIME type against file extension |
| 51 | +- Sanitize filename more aggressively |
| 52 | +- Consider using a whitelist of allowed characters |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +### 5. **Missing Input Validation in API** |
| 55 | +**Location:** `api.php:32-34, 37-39, 87-89` |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +**Issue:** User input from `$_GET` and `$_POST` is used without validation or sanitization. |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +**Recommendation:** Add validation functions for all inputs. |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +## 🐛 Bug Fixes |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +### 6. **Logic Error in `getDuration()`** |
| 64 | +**Location:** `functions.php:41-43` |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +**Issue:** If file doesn't exist, the function sets `$duration` to an error message but continues execution, overwriting it on line 45. |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +**Fix:** |
| 69 | +```php |
| 70 | +if (!file_exists($file)) { |
| 71 | + return "File not found"; // or handle error appropriately |
| 72 | +} |
| 73 | +``` |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | +### 7. **Inconsistent Configuration Access** |
| 76 | +**Location:** Multiple files |
| 77 | + |
| 78 | +**Issue:** Code mixes `CONFIG["key"]["value"]` and `getConfig("key")` patterns. |
| 79 | + |
| 80 | +**Recommendation:** Standardize on `getConfig("key")` for consistency and better error handling. |
| 81 | + |
| 82 | +### 8. **Missing Null Check in `joinSession()` and `createSession()`** |
| 83 | +**Location:** `api.php:82-89` |
| 84 | + |
| 85 | +**Issue:** Functions are called without parameters but may need them. Missing validation. |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | +### 9. **Unused Variable `$fileType`** |
| 88 | +**Location:** `functions.php:325` |
| 89 | + |
| 90 | +**Issue:** Variable is defined but never used. |
| 91 | + |
| 92 | +### 10. **Potential Issue in `saveConfig()` - Array Handling** |
| 93 | +**Location:** `functions.php:138` |
| 94 | + |
| 95 | +**Issue:** Array values in config are concatenated without proper escaping for nested arrays or special characters. |
| 96 | + |
| 97 | +## 💻 Code Quality Improvements |
| 98 | + |
| 99 | +### 11. **Missing Type Declarations** |
| 100 | +**Recommendation:** Add type hints to all function parameters and return types for better IDE support and error detection: |
| 101 | +```php |
| 102 | +function getDuration(string $file): string |
| 103 | +function apiResponse(string $status, string $response, array $data = []): void |
| 104 | +``` |
| 105 | + |
| 106 | +### 12. **Code Duplication** |
| 107 | +**Location:** `functions.php:278-303` |
| 108 | + |
| 109 | +**Issue:** The switch statement with `break;` after each `return` is redundant. |
| 110 | + |
| 111 | +**Fix:** Remove unnecessary `break;` statements after `return`. |
| 112 | + |
| 113 | +### 13. **Mixed Responsibilities** |
| 114 | +**Location:** `functions.php:225-252` |
| 115 | + |
| 116 | +**Issue:** `listSongs()` generates HTML strings, mixing business logic with presentation. |
| 117 | + |
| 118 | +**Recommendation:** Return data arrays only, move HTML generation to view layer. |
| 119 | + |
| 120 | +### 14. **Hardcoded Permissions** |
| 121 | +**Location:** `functions.php:210, 379-380` |
| 122 | + |
| 123 | +**Issue:** Using `0777` permissions is a security risk. |
| 124 | + |
| 125 | +**Recommendation:** Use more restrictive permissions like `0755` or `0750`. |
| 126 | + |
| 127 | +### 15. **Global State Usage** |
| 128 | +**Location:** `functions.php:346, 391` |
| 129 | + |
| 130 | +**Issue:** Functions use `global $_SESSION` instead of proper dependency injection. |
| 131 | + |
| 132 | +**Recommendation:** Consider passing session data as parameters or using a session handler class. |
| 133 | + |
| 134 | +### 16. **Inconsistent String Concatenation** |
| 135 | +**Location:** Throughout codebase |
| 136 | + |
| 137 | +**Issue:** Mix of string concatenation with `.` and interpolation. |
| 138 | + |
| 139 | +**Recommendation:** Standardize on one approach (preferably interpolation for readability). |
| 140 | + |
| 141 | +### 17. **Missing Error Handling** |
| 142 | +**Location:** `functions.php:44` |
| 143 | + |
| 144 | +**Issue:** `Mp3Info` constructor could throw exceptions, but they're not caught. |
| 145 | + |
| 146 | +**Recommendation:** |
| 147 | +```php |
| 148 | +try { |
| 149 | + $mp3info = new wapmorgan\Mp3Info\Mp3Info($file); |
| 150 | + $duration = $mp3info->duration; |
| 151 | +} catch (Exception $e) { |
| 152 | + return "0:00"; // or log error |
| 153 | +} |
| 154 | +``` |
| 155 | + |
| 156 | +## ⚡ Performance Improvements |
| 157 | + |
| 158 | +### 18. **Inefficient File Operations** |
| 159 | +**Location:** `functions.php:231-251` |
| 160 | + |
| 161 | +**Issue:** `getDuration()` is called for every file in a loop, which involves file I/O and MP3 parsing. |
| 162 | + |
| 163 | +**Recommendation:** |
| 164 | +- Cache duration values |
| 165 | +- Process files in batches |
| 166 | +- Consider storing metadata in a database |
| 167 | + |
| 168 | +### 19. **Redundant Array Operations** |
| 169 | +**Location:** `functions.php:231` |
| 170 | + |
| 171 | +**Issue:** `array_diff(scandir(...), array('..', '.'))` creates intermediate arrays. |
| 172 | + |
| 173 | +**Recommendation:** Use `array_filter` or directory iterator with filtering. |
| 174 | + |
| 175 | +### 20. **No Caching** |
| 176 | +**Recommendation:** Implement caching for: |
| 177 | +- Configuration values |
| 178 | +- File listings |
| 179 | +- MP3 duration metadata |
| 180 | + |
| 181 | +## 🏗️ Architecture Improvements |
| 182 | + |
| 183 | +### 21. **Separation of Concerns** |
| 184 | +**Recommendation:** |
| 185 | +- Create separate classes for: |
| 186 | + - Configuration management |
| 187 | + - File operations |
| 188 | + - Session management |
| 189 | + - HTML rendering |
| 190 | + |
| 191 | +### 22. **API Response Wrapper** |
| 192 | +**Location:** `api.php:94-100` |
| 193 | + |
| 194 | +**Issue:** The response handling is confusing - calling `apiResponse()` twice. |
| 195 | + |
| 196 | +**Recommendation:** Refactor to have a single, consistent response pattern. |
| 197 | + |
| 198 | +### 23. **Error Handling Strategy** |
| 199 | +**Recommendation:** |
| 200 | +- Implement proper exception handling |
| 201 | +- Add logging mechanism |
| 202 | +- Create error codes/enums instead of strings |
| 203 | + |
| 204 | +### 24. **Configuration Management** |
| 205 | +**Recommendation:** |
| 206 | +- Use a configuration class instead of global arrays |
| 207 | +- Implement validation for configuration values |
| 208 | +- Add type checking for config values |
| 209 | + |
| 210 | +### 25. **Dependency Injection** |
| 211 | +**Recommendation:** Instead of global functions, use classes with dependency injection for better testability. |
| 212 | + |
| 213 | +## 📝 Documentation |
| 214 | + |
| 215 | +### 26. **Missing PHPDoc Comments** |
| 216 | +**Recommendation:** Add PHPDoc comments to all functions: |
| 217 | +```php |
| 218 | +/** |
| 219 | + * Gets the duration of an MP3 file |
| 220 | + * |
| 221 | + * @param string $file Path to the MP3 file |
| 222 | + * @return string Duration in format "M:SS" or "0:00" on error |
| 223 | + * @throws Exception If file cannot be read |
| 224 | + */ |
| 225 | +``` |
| 226 | + |
| 227 | +### 27. **Code Comments** |
| 228 | +**Recommendation:** Add inline comments explaining complex logic and business rules. |
| 229 | + |
| 230 | +## 🔧 Additional Recommendations |
| 231 | + |
| 232 | +### 28. **Add Unit Tests** |
| 233 | +**Recommendation:** Create unit tests for critical functions, especially: |
| 234 | +- File upload validation |
| 235 | +- Path sanitization |
| 236 | +- Configuration management |
| 237 | + |
| 238 | +### 29. **Environment-Specific Configuration** |
| 239 | +**Recommendation:** Ensure sensitive data (paths, permissions) are environment-specific and not hardcoded. |
| 240 | + |
| 241 | +### 30. **Add Input Sanitization Helper** |
| 242 | +**Recommendation:** Create helper functions: |
| 243 | +```php |
| 244 | +function sanitizePath(string $path): string |
| 245 | +function sanitizeFilename(string $filename): string |
| 246 | +function validateFileExtension(string $file, array $allowed): bool |
| 247 | +``` |
| 248 | + |
| 249 | +### 31. **CSRF Protection** |
| 250 | +**Recommendation:** Add CSRF tokens for state-changing operations (upload, delete, config changes). |
| 251 | + |
| 252 | +### 32. **Rate Limiting** |
| 253 | +**Recommendation:** Implement rate limiting for API endpoints to prevent abuse. |
| 254 | + |
| 255 | +### 33. **Logging** |
| 256 | +**Recommendation:** Add proper logging for: |
| 257 | +- File operations |
| 258 | +- Configuration changes |
| 259 | +- Errors and exceptions |
| 260 | +- Security events |
| 261 | + |
| 262 | +### 34. **Constants Instead of Magic Strings** |
| 263 | +**Location:** Throughout codebase |
| 264 | + |
| 265 | +**Recommendation:** Define constants for: |
| 266 | +- Action names |
| 267 | +- Error messages |
| 268 | +- File paths |
| 269 | + |
| 270 | +### 35. **Remove Dead Code** |
| 271 | +**Location:** `functions.php:190-202` |
| 272 | + |
| 273 | +**Issue:** Commented out `download()` function. |
| 274 | + |
| 275 | +**Recommendation:** Remove or implement. |
