Security Testing and Vulnerability Assessment (api-sec-010)

[kvnloo]

Objective

Implement comprehensive security testing and vulnerability assessment for the API.

Requirements

• Create security test suite
• Implement OWASP Top 10 tests
• Add penetration testing framework
• Create vulnerability scanning
• Implement API security tests
• Add authentication/authorization tests
• Create encryption validation tests
• Implement dependency scanning
• Create security compliance reports

Test Categories

• Authentication Tests: Token validation, expiration, refresh
• Authorization Tests: Role enforcement, permission validation
• Injection Tests: SQL injection, XSS, command injection
• Encryption Tests: Data at rest, in transit, key management
• Configuration Tests: Security headers, CORS, TLS
• Rate Limiting Tests: Limit enforcement, bypass attempts
• Input Validation Tests: Malicious inputs, boundary cases

Tools and Frameworks

• Jest for unit tests
• OWASP ZAP for vulnerability scanning
• npm audit for dependency scanning
• Custom security test suite
• Postman for API security testing

Implementation Files

• tests/security/authentication.test.ts
• tests/security/authorization.test.ts
• tests/security/injection.test.ts
• tests/security/encryption.test.ts
• tests/security/compliance.test.ts

Acceptance Criteria

• OWASP Top 10 covered
• 90%+ test coverage for security code
• Zero critical vulnerabilities
• All dependencies scanned
• Penetration tests documented
• Compliance reports generated
• Automated testing in CI/CD

Depends on: All other issues (1-9)
Priority: High
