docs: add v1.2 security review, performance review, and roadmap

[badry-dev]

Summary

Adds the v1.2 planning reports to docs/:

File	Contents
docs/security-review-v1.2.md	17 findings — 1 Critical (CSV/Excel formula injection, CWE-1236), 3 High (unpatched dependency CVEs incl. gunicorn request smuggling, rate limiting collapsing behind proxy, DNS-lookup worker starvation), 7 Medium, 5 Low, 1 Info. Each with file:line evidence, exploitation scenario, remediation, and tests.
docs/performance-review-v1.2.md	13 findings — 2 High (uncompressed multi-MB /process responses, fully-buffered XLSX export OOM risk), 6 Medium, 4 Low, 1 Info, plus a measurable perf budget.
docs/roadmap-v1.2.md	6-phase v1.2.0 plan (~7–9 days) mapping every finding to a task: dependency/CI foundations, security hardening, performance, refactor, features, docs sync. Includes 5 decision points (D1–D5) and an explicit out-of-scope list honoring the no-persistence and strict-CSP constraints.

Highlights for reviewers

• Critical: formula injection — a value starting with =, +, -, @ from any untrusted JSON is written verbatim into CSV/TSV/XLSX and executes in Excel. Fix: sanitize in all 4 export paths (roadmap 1.1).
• Dependencies: the pins from requirements.txt still carry the 7 CVEs confirmed by pip-audit in docs/code-health-final.md (May 2026); upgrade plan in Phase 0.
• Design constraints respected: no server-side payload persistence, no CSP relaxation, no new build tooling, no payload logging — all fixes stay within them.

Decision points for maintainers

• D1: in-repo gzip middleware vs pinned Flask-Compress
• D2: delete dead code find_candidate_arrays vs repurpose it
• D3: opt-in TRUST_PROXY/ProxyFix for proxy-aware rate limiting
• D4: opt-in HTTP Basic Auth gate via env vars
• D5: port allowlist (80,443,8443) for API fetch

Docs-only change; no code behavior altered.

53-69: 🔒 Security & Privacy

⚠️ Unverified finding
Sandbox verification was unavailable.

Separate reachable runtime risk from package-level advisories.

The supplied routes.py path uses requests.get; it does not show a call to requests.utils.extract_zipped_paths(). The Requests advisory states that CVE-2026-25645 affects that utility and does not affect standard Requests usage. Verify repository-wide reachability before counting it as an active service finding. Also label 2.33.0 and 9.0.3 as minimum patched versions if newer target pins are intentionally deferred. (github.com)

---

120-128: 🔒 Security & Privacy

Preserve a CSP directive separator in the remediation snippet.

The CSP += ... expression is correct only if the existing policy already ends with ;. If it does not, the new directive is concatenated to the previous token and the policy becomes malformed. Build directives as a list or prepend the separator, then assert the final header.

---

269-275: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

⚠️ Unverified finding
Sandbox verification was unavailable.

Correct the Flask cookie-default description.

Flask documents SESSION_COOKIE_HTTPONLY=True, SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE=False, and SESSION_COOKIE_SAMESITE=None by default. Secure is not derived from request.is_secure, and None means Flask does not emit a SameSite restriction; it is not an explicit SameSite=None attribute. Keep the explicit Lax and Secure remediation, but describe the current defaults accurately. (flask.palletsprojects.com)

---

146-151: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

⚠️ Unverified finding
Sandbox verification was unavailable.

Use a resolver with a hard execution bound.

A thread or future timeout only bounds how long the caller waits; it cannot interrupt a running getaddrinfo() call, and executor shutdown may retain blocked workers. Use process isolation or a cancellable resolver, define a controlled lifecycle and in-flight limit, and add latency and worker-saturation tests.

docs/roadmap-v1.2.md (2)

69-69: 🔒 Security & Privacy

Define the proxy trust boundary for rate-limit keys.

Set ProxyFix.x_for to the exact trusted proxy-hop count. Derive the key from request.remote_addr, not the raw X-Forwarded-For header. Add forged-header and multi-proxy tests.

---

88-88: 🔒 Security & Privacy

Define the temporary-file policy for streaming exports.

SpooledTemporaryFile rolls over to disk when its threshold is exceeded or fileno() is called. If “no new file writes” is absolute, this design conflicts with that requirement. State whether request-scoped disk rollover is allowed, including permissions, cleanup, size limits, and the privacy boundary. Otherwise, use a memory-only buffer with a hard size limit.

docs/performance-review-v1.2.md (4)

90-92: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration

Make preview truncation non-mutating.

If preview_data shares nested objects with table_data or csv_data, in-place truncation can change export data. Build a separate preview projection or copy, and test that csv_data remains full-fidelity.

---

116-116: 🔒 Security & Privacy

Do not rely on a short DNS-cache TTL for rebinding protection.

If validation resolves one address and the API client resolves the hostname again, the cached approval can differ from the connection address. Bind the request to the validated address or revalidate at connection time before adding hostname caching.

---

217-223: 🚀 Performance & Scalability

Define whether the 3-second budget includes API fetch time.

API_FETCH_TIMEOUT is documented as 30 seconds. If the target includes URL-based /process requests, external fetch and DNS latency make it a different metric. Scope the target to paste/upload processing, or report fetch latency separately.

Inline comments:
In `@docs/performance-review-v1.2.md`:
- Around line 13-17: Update the severity summary table to account for finding
P13: add an Info row with count 1 and the P13 description, or explicitly state
that Info-severity findings are excluded from the totals.
- Line 11: Revise the performance claims around gzip compression in the
documentation so it is described only as reducing transfer size, not client-side
memory usage or JSON parsing cost. Preserve P2 and P5 as the remediations for
client memory and rendering risks, referencing the full csv_data handling in
app.js as context.
- Around line 31-33: Implement the gzip after-request middleware with guards for
bodyless, already encoded, HEAD, 204, 304, and streamed responses, using the
response’s is_streamed property. For eligible responses above the size threshold
and accepting gzip, compress the body, set Content-Encoding and Vary, and remove
or recompute Content-Length so it matches the compressed payload.
- Around line 131-133: Update the one-pass column-flattening rewrite to track
first-seen column order with both an ordered list and a seen set, rather than
relying on set iteration. Preserve the existing csv_columns and rendered-column
output order, and verify get_all_columns against the ordered results.
- Around line 114-118: Update the DNS validation flow around getaddrinfo to use
a shared, explicitly bounded resolver with controlled lifecycle and an in-flight
limit, rather than creating an unbounded or per-request executor. Keep the
API_DNS_TIMEOUT wait bound and return the existing invalid-URL error on timeout,
while ensuring timed-out lookups cannot accumulate without limit or saturate the
resolver pool.
- Around line 177-179: Reconcile the memory target and matrix entries with the
documented /process pipeline: either add an effective pre-parse or streaming
input limit before JSON parsing, then update the measurements, or revise the
approximately 30 MB target to reflect full parsing, flattening, and jsonify peak
usage; update the related entries at the referenced remediation and matrix
sections consistently, and do not treat post-parse size measurement or gzip
after jsonify as a peak-memory guard.
- Around line 58-64: Update the XLSX export flow using Workbook(write_only=True)
and tempfile.SpooledTemporaryFile to set an explicit finite max_size, remove any
output.getvalue() usage, and stream the spooled file through delivery. Measure
RSS across both file generation and response delivery, rather than inferring
bounded memory from missing Content-Length or chunked transfer.

In `@docs/roadmap-v1.2.md`:
- Around line 28-29: Resolve the find_candidate_arrays lifecycle before
implementation by choosing either deletion before Phase 1 or retention with
removal of Phase 3.3. Update D2, the F8 mapping, and related acceptance criteria
and phase references consistently so the roadmap does not require both adding
and later deleting its recursion-guard tests.
- Line 60: Update the formula-injection sanitization roadmap entry to keep
sanitization format-specific: preserve original values for JSONL, use
Markdown-specific escaping for Markdown exports, and apply sanitize_cell only to
spreadsheet-compatible formats such as CSV and XLSX. Adjust the listed affected
paths and tests to reflect these separate behaviors.
- Line 56: Resolve the /health version-disclosure contract by choosing either
default-on version exposure or updating the tests and acceptance criteria to
reflect default-off behavior. Align the HEALTH_REVEAL_VERSION configuration,
tests/test_routes.py expectations, the F15 deferral language, the security
checklist, and the Definition of Done so the implementation plan consistently
describes one outcome.
- Around line 157-163: Align the roadmap table with the stated process_json
dependency: either move the process_json refactor phase before Phase 2, or
revise the Phase 2–4 dependency wording to define interfaces that work before
refactoring. Keep the phase durations, scope, and risk ordering unchanged.
- Around line 39-45: Add autoDeployTrigger: checksPass to the Render
configuration in render.yaml so deployments wait for successful CI checks,
blocking deployment when checks fail or are missing.

In `@docs/security-review-v1.2.md`:
- Around line 16-22: Align the severity classification for F6 and F9
consistently across the executive table, finding headings, and matrix. Choose
one severity per finding; if F6 remains Medium, update the summary counts to 2
High and 8 Medium, and ensure F9’s heading matches its matrix classification.
- Line 45: Extend automated tests to cover all four export paths: server CSV,
server XLSX, client CSV, and client TSV. Add server-route cases in
tests/test_routes.py for values beginning with =SUM(A1), `@cmd`, +, and -, and
verify generated output; also test downloadDelimited() with both delimiters.
Include a JavaScript-adjacent assertion path if feasible.
- Around line 41-45: Make formula-injection sanitization format-specific across
all four export paths, covering values beginning with =, +, -, @, tab, carriage
return, or line feed. Choose and consistently apply a tested mitigation
appropriate to each CSV, TSV, and XLSX format rather than relying on one shared
single-quote policy; update the backend helper used by export_csv and
export_xlsx and the frontend downloadDelimited/formatValue export path, then add
acceptance tests for line-feed-prefixed values and the listed formula triggers.
- Around line 315-327: Expand the “Verification Checklist (post-fix)” to map
every finding to at least one executable check or documented manual sign-off,
adding explicit entries for F3 log redaction, F4 header-name validation, F6 port
allowlisting, F13 upload checks, and the documentation/configuration decisions
covered by F14–F17.
- Around line 81-86: Add blank lines immediately before and after each fenced
code block in the affected Markdown sections, including both examples around the
remediation content, while leaving the code and surrounding text unchanged.
- Around line 161-165: Update the security configuration test to use a valid
Config class setup: set the relevant environment variables before calling
create_app(), or mutate the loaded application configuration afterward, then
exercise the real factory path with DEBUG disabled and the default SECRET_KEY.
Do not instantiate Config with keyword arguments, and preserve the TESTING=True
fixture bypass.
- Around line 81-88: Update the RequestException handling and redact_url-related
logging so user-controlled URL paths, queries, fragments, and userinfo cannot
enter logs; use the fixed message “API request failed” or an equivalent
validated host-only identifier. Preserve the generic user-facing response, and
extend redact_url/TestApiFetch coverage to include credentials embedded in the
path as well as query tokens.

Summary of review-comment fixes

All 24 inline review threads were addressed and resolved (fix commits cbf75ac, 4132614 on this branch). The items below were flagged in the CodeRabbit review body's "additional comments" and the Codex summary rather than as separate threads; each was verified against the current code and fixed in the docs:

• CVE-2026-25645 reachability (security F2): verified against the advisory (GHSA-gc5v-m9x4-r6x2) — it affects only requests.utils.extract_zipped_paths(), which this app never calls. F2 now separates reachable runtime risk from package/supply-chain hygiene and labels fix versions as minimum patched.
• CSP directive separator (security F5 / roadmap 1.5): remediation snippet now prepends ; and notes building directives as a list; the base policy has no trailing semicolon.
• Flask cookie defaults (security F16): corrected — Flask 3.x defaults are HttpOnly=True, SameSite=None (no attribute emitted), Secure=False; Secure is not derived from request.is_secure.
• DNS resolver hard bound (security F6.1 / perf P7 / roadmap 1.8): shared module-level executor with fixed max_workers and an in-flight semaphore; per-request executors prohibited; timeout documented as a wait bound, process isolation as the only hard bound.
• ProxyFix trust boundary (roadmap 1.10): ProxyFix(app, x_for=1, x_proto=1, x_host=1) under TRUST_PROXY=1, rate-limit key from request.remote_addr after ProxyFix (never raw X-Forwarded-For); forged-header/multi-proxy tests.
• Temp-file policy (roadmap 2.3 / perf P3 / D6): openpyxl write_only and SpooledTemporaryFile both use OS temp files; default is now a diskless, memory-bounded path (normal-mode Workbook + MAX_EXPORT_ROWS cap), with the temp-file route gated behind an explicit documented exception.
• Preview truncation non-mutating (perf P5 / roadmap 2.4): requires a separate preview projection (copy) with a test asserting csv_data/exports stay full-fidelity.
• DNS hostname memoization (perf P7): removed as a rebinding control — explicitly labeled a latency optimization only.
• Perf budget scope (perf §4): /process p95 target now scoped to paste/upload only (API fetch bounded separately by API_FETCH_TIMEOUT); peak-RSS target revised to ~50 MB reflecting the full parse → flatten → jsonify pipeline.
• Walkthrough merge-risk flags: the internal contradictions flagged (health-version contract, find_candidate_arrays lifecycle, phase ordering, gzip claims, export buffering) were each resolved in the edits above.

All fixes are documentation-only; no application code changed. Files: docs/security-review-v1.2.md, docs/performance-review-v1.2.md, docs/roadmap-v1.2.md.

⚠️ Unverified finding
Sandbox verification was unavailable.

Verify the 10 MB cap on every /process input path.

The supplied routes.py context shows an explicit size check for streamed API responses. File and paste inputs are read before parsing. Confirm that a global request limit also covers those paths. Otherwise, the P12 budget does not bound all /process requests.

Tie --timeout to API_FETCH_TIMEOUT. If API_FETCH_TIMEOUT can exceed 30 seconds, derive or validate the Gunicorn timeout so it remains at least twice the API timeout.

50-50: Require automated coverage for client CSV and TSV.

The fallback still permits a manual browser check when Node is unavailable. This leaves both client paths without automated regression coverage, which repeats the previous review concern. Keep manual verification as an additional check, not a substitute.

306-306: Keep the F1 matrix complete.

- Line 64: Align MAX_EXPORT_ROWS with the /process input-size contract so
datasets accepted by /process do not fail during XLSX export; alternatively,
explicitly scope the limit to XLSX and define the resulting client error or CSV
fallback behavior.
- Line 225: Update the performance table’s RSS criteria for both `/process` and
export measurements to use an exact pass/fail limit rather than approximate
values. Define whether RSS is absolute or measured as a delta from an idle

explicit outcome for each decision, or mark the related tasks and acceptance
criteria—including Basic Auth behavior—as conditional on approval; keep
already-decided D2 unchanged.
- Line 52: Reconcile the acceptance criteria in the roadmap so the test-count
baseline reflects the four deleted tests. Update the references around the Phase
0.8 acceptance and the “existing” test count, or replace the stale numeric
requirement with a successful test-command/CI check.
- Line 109: Update the roadmap dependency sequencing for serialize_cell_value
and preview_truncate so each helper is introduced in its first-use phase, or
explicitly document temporary inline implementations in the earlier phases
followed by the Phase 3.2 refactor; remove the resulting dependency cycle while

- Line 94: The roadmap entry’s claim that collecting columns in a set and
sorting preserves current column order is incorrect. Update the Memory trim item
to specify an ordered list plus a separate seen set when preserving existing
export/UI order, or explicitly document and test sorted column order instead.
- Around line 110-114: Update the Phase 3 acceptance text in the roadmap to
acknowledge that adding preview_limit changes the response shape: state that
there is no breaking behavior and that the additive preview_limit field is
documented and tested, while preserving the existing acceptance requirements.
- Line 71: Update the rate-limit storage configuration associated with
RATELIMIT_STORAGE_URI so multi-worker deployments use shared storage such as
Redis instead of isolated memory:// counters, or explicitly document and test
the resulting per-worker limit behavior. Cover the worker-enabled deployment
configuration and preserve single-worker behavior where appropriate.
- Line 69: Update the Bounded DNS roadmap entry to specify that API_DNS_TIMEOUT
applies only to Future.result, permits remain held until each getaddrinfo future
completes, and the shared executor is initialized after fork with workers
cleaned up appropriately; include saturation and timeout test coverage in the

194-194: 🔒 Security & Privacy | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Align the no-file-write DoD with D6.

D6 and Phase 2.3 allow an explicitly approved temporary-file exception. The Definition of Done currently prohibits all new file writes, so an approved exception cannot satisfy the checklist. State that the default export path is diskless and that any temporary-file path requires D6 approval, cleanup, and dedicated tests.

Add an executable test path for client-side formula protection.

The planned CI workflow runs only Python checks, but Task 1.1 requires client CSV and TSV coverage. Add a JavaScript/browser test job, or define a captured-output manual check in the acceptance criteria.

Make Phase 2 performance acceptance measurable.

Replace “opens instantly” and “spot-checked manually” with the §4 targets: a 10 MB, ~200k-row reference payload; /process p95 ≤ 3s; peak RSS ≤ ~50 MB; /export-xlsx for 100k rows peak RSS ≤ 150 MB while streaming; and tree-picker initial open ≤ 500 ms. Define the browser and measurement procedure, or link an executable check.

Assert the complete timeout behavior.

For a 35-second upstream delay, assert HTTP 400, the JSON error {"error":"API request timed out"}, and an elapsed time near 30 seconds. A response without 502 does not prove this behavior. Add a separate sub-30-second delay and assert successful completion.

Define DNS admission and semaphore ownership. Bound semaphore acquisition with an admission timeout and return the existing invalid-URL error when admission fails. Release each slot exactly once when its future completes, including submission failures; do not release it when future.result(timeout=API_DNS_TIMEOUT) times out because getaddrinfo continues running. Test concurrent requests beyond max_workers for bounded admission and no semaphore over-release.

- Around line 60-64: Update export_xlsx to enforce explicit export limits for
rows, columns, cell size, and total output size before constructing the
Workbook, rejecting requests that exceed any limit. Remove whole-buffer
output.getvalue() copying and preserve bounded-memory delivery through streaming
response handling; ensure the implementation meets the ≤150 MB RSS target during
both generation and response delivery.

In `@docs/roadmap-v1.2.md`:
- Line 93: Update the diskless export design around MAX_EXPORT_ROWS so it
enforces actual memory bounds rather than only limiting row count: add a
peak-RSS limit plus a cell, byte, or input-size guard covering both workbook
generation and response delivery, and add tests validating both enforcement
paths.
- Line 68: Update the outbound header validation in the route handling
associated with routes.py to use an explicit case-insensitive allowlist of
permitted header names rather than only regex and reserved-name checks.
Normalize each header name before comparison, reject mixed-case forbidden inputs
such as Host and Proxy-Authorization with 400, and add coverage in the route
tests for these cases.
- Line 32: Correct the D6 roadmap text and task 2.3 to accurately describe
SpooledTemporaryFile rollover: with the configured default max_size=0, normal
writes remain in-memory and rollover occurs only via fileno() or explicit
rollover(); document positive max_size behavior if applicable. Add or update the
associated test to verify normal writes do not roll over.

In `@docs/security-review-v1.2.md`:
- Around line 173-176: Use one canonical production signal consistently across
create_app() secret validation and the SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE configuration at
the referenced production checks. Either standardize on APP_ENV=production or
consistently support both APP_ENV=production and PRODUCTION=true, and ensure the
chosen signal is covered by tests for secure-cookie behavior and valid
production SECRET_KEY startup.
- Around line 174-176: Add coverage to the existing create_app validation tests
for an explicitly empty SECRET_KEY and invalid non-integer values for
MAX_UPLOAD_SIZE and every other integer configuration setting. Exercise the real
factory through environment variables, avoid constructing Config directly, and
assert each case produces the documented validation failure behavior.

The six remaining unresolved review threads are addressed in #5, which targets this PR's head branch (docs/v1.2-security-perf-roadmap) — merge it here and the threads should go outdated.

• MAX_EXPORT_ROWS vs the /process contract (perf P3, roadmap 2.3/D6): the cap is now XLSX-only and defaults to 0/disabled, so nothing /process accepts can be rejected at export time; CSV/TSV stream uncapped as the fallback, and the client-side signal (row_count + max_export_rows in the /process payload) plus the /export-xlsx 400 are specified for when an operator does set a limit. No silent truncation.
• RSS budget (perf §4): ≤ ~50 MB replaced with a pass/fail method table — RSS delta from an idle worker, psutil baseline after a discarded warm-up + gc.collect(), 50 ms sampling through full response delivery, concurrency 1 on --workers 1 --threads 1, fixed payload, median of 3 runs. Same method for both the /process and export rows.
• Pending decisions (roadmap §2): D1, D3 and D5 recorded as decided. D4 (Basic Auth) stays open, and task 4.6 plus its acceptance line are marked conditional on approval, with the dependent scope stated as 4.6 only.
• Test-count baseline (roadmap Phase 0/3 acceptance + DoD): the passing python -m pytest tests/ -v command is the criterion, with the post-0.8 baseline written out as 82 − 4 = 78.
• DNS admission and executor lifecycle (roadmap 1.8, security F6): permits are released from the future's done-callback rather than on caller timeout, the executor is created lazily after fork with explicit teardown, saturation returns a fast admission error, and repeated-timeout / saturation / lifecycle tests are required.
• Rate-limit storage vs workers (roadmap 2.8 + new 2.10, §5, DoD; perf §5; security F12): --workers 1 is the documented default on memory://; more than one worker requires shared storage. New task 2.10 adds the startup check, corrects the --workers 4 examples, and requires a test asserting per-worker semantics.

Each of these was also propagated to every other place the same claim appears, so the three documents no longer contradict each other.

Correction to my comment above — two details in it were superseded by later review rounds on #5, and the version there is the accurate one:

• Export-limit field. I wrote row_count + max_export_rows. /process already returns total_rows (routes.py:192), so the contract reuses it and adds only max_export_rows (0 = unlimited). No duplicate row-count field.
• RSS method. I described a psutil baseline after a discarded warm-up with 50 ms sampling. That method is wrong twice over: sampling can miss short-lived spikes, and ru_maxrss is monotonic per process, so a same-worker warm-up leaves its own peak in the counter. The method is now an OS high-water mark (getrusage) with no warm-up inside a measured process, the delta taken across two fresh-worker runs (zero requests vs exactly one), units pinned to MiB, and pairs blocked by OOM/crash/timeout counted as failures.

Two further points from my comment were also tightened on #5: MAX_EXPORT_ROWS=0 is a compatibility default and explicitly not a memory bound, and the DNS teardown is documented as unbounded rather than "bounded by the resolver's own timeout" — getaddrinfo exposes no timeout and glibc's defaults run to tens of seconds.

#5's description carries the current state of all six items.
