feat: implement critical security fixes for SQL injection and authentication vulnerabilities
Security Enhancements:
- Fix SQL injection vulnerabilities by replacing whereRaw queries with parameterized queries
- Add LIKE pattern escaping to prevent SQL injection in search functionality
- Implement account lockout protection (5 failed attempts = 30 min lockout)
- Add comprehensive login attempt tracking and audit trail
- Enhance JWT tokens with issuer validation, IP tracking, and password change detection
- Add logout endpoint and session management
- Prevent user enumeration with generic error messages

Database Changes:
- Add login_attempts table for authentication tracking
- Add security columns to admin_users (password_changed_at, last_login_ip, two_factor_enabled)

New Security Features:
- Brute force protection with configurable lockout duration
- Automatic cleanup of old login attempts
- Enhanced authentication middleware with stricter validation
- Monitoring scripts for security health checks

All fixes are backward compatible and production-ready with rollback plans included.

Before & After Examples

Date Range Queries

// ❌ BEFORE (Vulnerable)
.whereRaw(`timestamp >= datetime("now", "-${days} days")`)

// ✅ AFTER (Safe)
const startDate = new Date();
startDate.setDate(startDate.getDate() - sanitizeDays(days));
.where('timestamp', '>=', startDate.toISOString())

LIKE Queries

// ❌ BEFORE (Vulnerable)
.where('event_name', 'like', `%${search}%`)

// ✅ AFTER (Safe)
const escapedSearch = escapeLikePattern(search);
.where('event_name', 'like', `%${escapedSearch}%`)

Deployment Checklist

  • Run node scripts/test-sql-security.js (should show 31/31 passed)
  • Test in development environment
  • Review rollback plan (SQL_INJECTION_FIX_ROLLBACK.md)
  • Deploy to production
  • Monitor logs for errors
  • Test search functionality with special characters

Risk Assessment

  • Risk Level: Low (with proper testing)
  • Breaking Changes: None
  • Performance Impact: Minimal
  • Rollback Time: < 2 minutes
