FINDING 1 — [security] Missing failed-attempt counter on OTP verification
|
|
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
|
|
File: lib/actions/forgot-password.ts
|
|
Location: verifyResetOtp (lines 231-287)
|
|
Category: auth / input-validation
|
|
Priority: P2 (Medium)
|
|
Fixed: false
|
|
|
|
Problem: verifyResetOtp does not track or limit the number of incorrect OTP
|
|
submissions against a given OTP record. The resendOtp action correctly caps
|
|
resend attempts at OTP_MAX_ATTEMPTS (5), but the verification path itself has
|
|
no failed-attempt counter. Within the 10-minute OTP window, a caller holding
|
|
the fp_otp_token cookie can submit unlimited guesses.
|
|
|
|
Attack scenario:
|
|
1. Attacker initiates the flow for a target mobile (they just need the number).
|
|
2. requestPasswordResetOtp returns the same shape for both registered and
|
|
unregistered numbers (anti-enumeration is correct), but if the number IS
|
|
registered, an OTP is created and the attacker receives the fp_otp_token
|
|
cookie.
|
|
3. Attacker scripts rapid POST requests to the verifyResetOtp Server Action
|
|
with sequential 6-digit codes. At ~100ms/request, a single client makes
|
|
~6,000 attempts in 10 minutes → ~0.6% success probability. A distributed
|
|
attacker (botnet) at 1,000 req/s reaches ~600,000 attempts → ~45% success.
|
|
4. On a correct guess, the attacker receives fp_reset_token and can set a new
|
|
password, taking over the account.
|
|
|
|
Evidence: verifyResetOtp (lines 245-259) — on hash mismatch, returns a field
|
|
error but does NOT increment any counter or lock the OTP record:
|
|
```
|
|
const submittedHash = await hashOtp(otp);
|
|
if (submittedHash !== otpRecord.otpHash) {
|
|
return { ok: false, fieldErrors: { otp: "Invalid code. ..." } };
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Impact: Account takeover for any user whose mobile number the attacker knows.
|
|
|
|
Recommended remediation: Add a `verifyAttempts` field to the passwordResetOtp
|
|
model (or reuse the existing `attempts` field with a separate cap). Increment
|
|
on each failed verification, and reject with an expiry-style message after N
|
|
failures (e.g., 5). This mirrors the existing resendOtp rate limit.
|
|
|
|
Risk of change: Low — adds a DB column and an increment+check. Does not change
|
|
the happy path. Requires a Prisma migration.

|
FINDING 2 — [dry-architecture] RULES + STRENGTH_LABELS arrays duplicated
|
|
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
|
|
File: components/auth/ResetPasswordForm.tsx (lines 31-39)
|
|
+ components/forms/ResetPasswordForm.tsx (lines 23-31)
|
|
Category: dup-logic
|
|
Priority: P2
|
|
Fixed: false
|
|
|
|
Problem: The RULES array (5 password policy rules with label+test) and
|
|
STRENGTH_LABELS array are byte-for-byte identical between the new auth-flow
|
|
ResetPasswordForm and the existing profile-section ResetPasswordForm. The
|
|
code itself acknowledges the copy (line 29: "Strength computation and RULES
|
|
array copied from the existing form"). Both represent the same concept: the
|
|
client-side password policy checklist that mirrors lib/validation/schemas.ts's
|
|
passwordPolicy Zod schema.
|
|
|
|
Evidence:
|
|
auth/ResetPasswordForm.tsx lines 31-39:
|
|
const RULES: { label: string; test: (v: string) => boolean }[] = [
|
|
{ label: "Minimum 8 characters", test: (v) => v.length >= 8 },
|
|
{ label: "1 uppercase letter", test: (v) => /[A-Z]/.test(v) },
|
|
...
|
|
];
|
|
const STRENGTH_LABELS = ["Weak", "Fair", "Good", "Strong"];
|
|
|
|
forms/ResetPasswordForm.tsx lines 23-31:
|
|
const RULES: { label: string; test: (v: string) => boolean }[] = [
|
|
{ label: "Minimum 8 characters", test: (v) => v.length >= 8 },
|
|
{ label: "1 uppercase letter", test: (v) => /[A-Z]/.test(v) },
|
|
...
|
|
];
|
|
const STRENGTH_LABELS = ["Weak", "Fair", "Good", "Strong"];
|
|
|
|
Why these are the same concept: Both enforce and display the same password
|
|
policy. A policy change (e.g. adding a "no common passwords" rule) must update
|
|
both or they drift, silently showing different rules on two screens.
|
|
|
|
Recommended fix: Extract to a shared module, e.g.
|
|
lib/validation/password-rules.ts
|
|
exporting RULES and STRENGTH_LABELS. Both components import from it.
|
|
|
|
Risk of change: None — pure extraction, no behavioral change.
|
|
|
|
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
|
|
FINDING 3 — [dry-architecture] Strength meter computation logic duplicated
|
|
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
|
|
File: components/auth/ResetPasswordForm.tsx (lines 49-57)
|
|
+ components/forms/ResetPasswordForm.tsx (lines 47-54)
|
|
Category: dup-logic
|
|
Priority: P2
|
|
Fixed: false
|
|
|
|
Problem: The strength bar computation (rulesMet, metCount, strengthBars,
|
|
strengthLabel) is identical between the two ResetPasswordForm variants:
|
|
const rulesMet = useMemo(() => RULES.map((r) => r.test(newPassword)), [newPassword]);
|
|
const policyOk = rulesMet.every(Boolean);
|
|
const matchOk = newPassword.length > 0 && newPassword === confirmPassword;
|
|
const canSubmit = policyOk && matchOk;
|
|
const metCount = rulesMet.filter(Boolean).length;
|
|
const strengthBars = newPassword.length === 0 ? 0 : Math.max(1, Math.ceil(...));
|
|
const strengthLabel = STRENGTH_LABELS[Math.max(0, strengthBars - 1)];
|
|
|
|
Why these are the same concept: This is the same password-strength UI
|
|
computation. Any UX change (different strength tiers, different labels) must
|
|
update both.
|
|
|
|
Recommended fix: Extract a custom hook, e.g. usePasswordStrength(password),
|
|
returning { rulesMet, policyOk, strengthBars, strengthLabel }.
|
|
|
|
Risk of change: None — pure extraction, no behavioral change.

|
FINDING 4 — [css-dry] Auth shell wrapper duplicated 4 times
|
|
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
|
|
Files:
|
|
app/(auth)/login/page.tsx (line 6)
|
|
components/auth/ForgotPasswordForm.tsx (line 24)
|
|
components/auth/VerifyOtpForm.tsx (line 100)
|
|
components/auth/ResetPasswordForm.tsx (line 60)
|
|
Concept: Auth page shell (full-screen two-panel layout)
|
|
Priority: P2
|
|
Fixed: false
|
|
|
|
Evidence — the same class combination in all 4 locations:
|
|
<div className="fixed inset-0 z-[100] flex overflow-hidden bg-surface">
|
|
<BrandPanel />
|
|
<div className="flex flex-grow items-center justify-center">
|
|
{/* form content */}
|
|
</div>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
Minor drift: ResetPasswordForm's inner div adds `overflow-auto py-10` to
|
|
handle its taller form content.
|
|
|
|
Why these are the same concept: Every auth-flow page (login, forgot-password
|
|
×3) renders an identical shell: fixed fullscreen overlay, BrandPanel on the
|
|
left (45%), centred form column on the right. A design change to this shell
|
|
(e.g. background, z-index, BrandPanel width) must touch all 4 files.
|
|
|
|
Recommended primitive: An AuthShell component:
|
|
<AuthShell scrollable={boolean}>
|
|
{children}
|
|
</AuthShell>
|
|
The `scrollable` prop covers the ResetPasswordForm's overflow-auto variant.
|
|
|
|
Risk of change: Low — each call site becomes <AuthShell>{form}</AuthShell>.
|
|
Visual output unchanged. The login page.tsx version (server component) would
|
|
need AuthShell to be a server component too (it has no client-side state), or
|
|
the page can accept being wrapped by a client AuthShell since its content
|
|
(SignInForm) is already a client component.
|
|
|
|
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
|
|
FINDING 5 — [css-dry] Back-navigation link pattern duplicated
|
|
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
|
|
Files:
|
|
components/auth/ForgotPasswordForm.tsx (lines 28-34)
|
|
components/auth/VerifyOtpForm.tsx (lines 107-113)
|
|
Concept: Back-navigation link in auth flow
|
|
Priority: P3
|
|
Fixed: false
|
|
|
|
Evidence:
|
|
ForgotPasswordForm:
|
|
<Link href="/login"
|
|
className="mb-[14px] flex cursor-pointer items-center gap-1.5">
|
|
<ChevronLeft className="h-4 w-4 text-accent" aria-hidden="true" />
|
|
<span className="text-[13px] font-medium text-accent">Back to Sign In</span>
|
|
</Link>
|
|
|
|
VerifyOtpForm:
|
|
<Link href="/forgot-password"
|
|
className="mb-[14px] flex cursor-pointer items-center gap-1.5">
|
|
<ChevronLeft className="h-4 w-4 text-accent" aria-hidden="true" />
|
|
<span className="text-[13px] font-medium text-accent">Back</span>
|
|
</Link>
|
|
|
|
Identical class combination, same ChevronLeft icon, only href and label differ.
|
|
Only 2 instances — borderline for extraction, but the pattern is likely to
|
|
recur if more auth-flow steps are added.
|
|
|
|
Recommended primitive: A small <BackLink href label /> component, or fold into
|
|
AuthShell as an optional `backHref`/`backLabel` prop.
|
|
|
|
Risk of change: None — visual output unchanged.
|
|
|
|
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
|
|
FINDING 6 — [dry-architecture] Password policy checklist card UI duplicated
|
|
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
|
|
Files:
|
|
components/auth/ResetPasswordForm.tsx (lines 127-175)
|
|
components/forms/ResetPasswordForm.tsx (lines 126-142)
|
|
Concept: Password policy checklist with live check/uncheck indicators
|
|
Priority: P3
|
|
Fixed: false
|
|
|
|
Problem: Both components render the same UI pattern: a rounded card with
|
|
"PASSWORD POLICY" header, a list of rules with SVG checkmark icons that
|
|
toggle green/grey based on rulesMet[i], and a static "Not last 3 passwords"
|
|
item. The SVG markup is identical (same dimensions, viewBox, path, stroke
|
|
colors). Layout context differs (auth version is single-column below the
|
|
form; profile version is a 280px side card), so the outer container classes
|
|
differ — but the card internals are the same concept.
|
|
|
|
Recommended fix: Extract a <PasswordPolicyChecklist rulesMet={boolean[]} />
|
|
component for the card's inner content. Each consumer wraps it in its own
|
|
layout-appropriate container.
|
|
|
|
Risk of change: Low — structural extraction, same visual output. Needs
|
|
careful CSS comparison to ensure both render identically after extraction.
|
|

═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
|
|
FINDING 7 — [code-quality] Forward-compat: sync cookies() in non-async pages
|
|
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
|
|
Files:
|
|
app/(auth)/forgot-password/verify/page.tsx (line 14)
|
|
app/(auth)/forgot-password/reset/page.tsx (line 14)
|
|
Category: structure
|
|
Priority: P3
|
|
Fixed: false
|
|
|
|
Problem: Both page components are non-async functions that call cookies()
|
|
synchronously. This works in Next.js 14 where cookies() is synchronous, but
|
|
Next.js 15 makes cookies() an async function. When upgrading, these functions
|
|
will need `async` and `await`.
|
|
|
|
Evidence:
|
|
export default function VerifyOtpPage() { // not async
|
|
const token = cookies().get("fp_otp_token"); // sync call
|
|
...
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Note: The auth layout (app/(auth)/layout.tsx) IS already async and awaits
|
|
getSession(). This finding is low-priority — it's a future upgrade concern,
|
|
not a current bug.
|
|
|
|
Recommended fix: Mark both functions async, prefix cookies() with await:
|
|
export default async function VerifyOtpPage() {
|
|
const token = (await cookies()).get("fp_otp_token");
|
|
...
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Risk of change: None in Next.js 14 — async Server Components are supported.
|
|
Proactively future-proofs for Next.js 15.

FINDING 8 — [security] No security headers in next.config.mjs
|
|
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
|
|
File: next.config.mjs
|
|
Category: headers
|
|
Priority: P3 (Low)
|
|
Fixed: false
|
|
|
|
Problem: next.config.mjs contains no `headers()` configuration for CSP,
|
|
X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, or HSTS. The deployed architecture
|
|
includes a shared reverse proxy (192.168.1.116 per CLAUDE.md) which may set
|
|
these headers upstream, but defense-in-depth recommends configuring them at
|
|
the application level too — especially CSP with nonces for inline scripts.
|
|
|
|
Evidence:
|
|
const nextConfig = {
|
|
experimental: {
|
|
serverActions: { bodySizeLimit: "5mb", allowedOrigins: [...] },
|
|
},
|
|
};
|
|
// No headers() export
|
|
|
|
Recommended remediation: Add a headers() function to next.config.mjs with at
|
|
minimum:
|
|
- X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
|
|
- X-Frame-Options: DENY (unless embedding is intended)
|
|
- Strict-Transport-Security (if not set by proxy)
|
|
- Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin
|
|
- Content-Security-Policy (nonce-based for scripts)
|
|
|
|
Risk of change: Low for X-Content-Type-Options/X-Frame-Options/Referrer-Policy.
|
|
CSP requires testing to avoid breaking legitimate inline styles/scripts.

FINDING 9 — [code-quality] Fragile cross-file line-number reference
|
|
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
|
|
File: components/auth/ResetPasswordForm.tsx (line 29)
|
|
Category: structure
|
|
Priority: P3
|
|
Fixed: false
|
|
|
|
Problem: Comment references specific line numbers in another file:
|
|
"Strength computation and RULES array copied from the existing form
|
|
(components/forms/ResetPasswordForm.tsx lines 23–54) to stay in sync."
|
|
|
|
Line-number references in comments become stale as the target file changes.
|
|
This comment is already partially addressed by Finding 2 (extract RULES to a
|
|
shared module), which would make this comment unnecessary.
|
|
|
|
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
|
|
AREAS CHECKED AND FOUND CLEAN
|
|
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
|
|
|
|
[code-quality]
|
|
✓ No unused imports across all 7 feature files — every import is referenced.
|
|
✓ No dead exports — all exported components are imported by their page shells
|
|
(verified via grep across the repo).
|
|
✓ No `any`, `as any`, `@ts-ignore`, `@ts-expect-error` in any feature file.
|
|
✓ Component sizes are reasonable: ForgotPasswordForm (90 lines),
|
|
VerifyOtpForm (195 lines — larger due to OTP input UX, but well-structured),
|
|
auth/ResetPasswordForm (191 lines), SignInForm (67 lines), BrandPanel (49 lines),
|
|
page shells (12-19 lines each).
|
|
✓ Error handling: all forms handle field errors, global errors, and success
|
|
messages. VerifyOtpForm handles all three error sources (OTP error, session
|
|
error, resend error) distinctly.
|
|
✓ No expensive render-path computations — VerifyOtpForm's `digits.join("")`
|
|
is trivially cheap (6 chars), ResetPasswordForm's rulesMet is correctly
|
|
wrapped in useMemo.
|
|
✓ No deep nesting or complex conditionals.
|
|
|
|
[dry-architecture]
|
|
✓ ActionState type is properly shared via lib/actions/shared.ts — not
|
|
duplicated per action file.
|
|
✓ BrandPanel is used via shared component import in all 4 auth pages — no
|
|
duplicated brand markup.
|
|
✓ PasswordField and SubmitButton are reused as shared UI primitives — no
|
|
duplicated password input or submit button markup.
|
|
✓ Zod schemas centralized in lib/validation/schemas.ts — the passwordPolicy
|
|
schema is shared between changePasswordSchema and resetPasswordViaOtpSchema.
|
|
|
|
[css-dry]
|
|
✓ "field-error" and "field-input" are @apply-based CSS classes (defined in
|
|
globals.css) used consistently — not duplicated utility clusters.
|
|
✓ PasswordField encapsulates the password input + toggle button pattern —
|
|
no duplicated show/hide password markup across forms.
|
|
|
|
[security]
|
|
✓ Anti-enumeration: requestPasswordResetOtp returns identical response shape
|
|
for registered vs unregistered mobile numbers.
|
|
✓ OTP generation uses crypto.getRandomValues (CSPRNG), not Math.random.
|
|
✓ OTP stored as SHA-256 hash, never as plaintext (AUD-03 compliance).
|
|
✓ Single-use OTP: usedAt sentinel prevents replay after successful verification.
|
|
✓ Rate-limited resend: OTP_MAX_ATTEMPTS (5) caps resend requests per record.
|
|
✓ Flow tokens are HMAC-SHA256 signed via AUTH_SECRET with expiry check —
|
|
fail-closed (verifyFlowToken returns null on any error).
|
|
✓ Cookies: httpOnly, secure (production), sameSite: lax — appropriate for
|
|
same-site server-action flow. Not using "strict" because SMS-link-click
|
|
would not send strict cookies in some browsers.
|
|
✓ All Server Actions validate inputs via Zod before any DB access.
|
|
✓ No raw SQL — Prisma ORM exclusively. No injection surface.
|
|
✓ No dangerouslySetInnerHTML, eval(), new Function() in any feature file.
|
|
✓ No hardcoded secrets or NEXT_PUBLIC_* misuse in feature files.
|
|
✓ Password reset atomically: password update + history record + all-session
|
|
revocation in a single $transaction.
|
|
✓ Session revocation: all sessions deleted on password reset (no "keep current
|
|
session" carve-out — appropriate since there IS no current session).
|
|
✓ Password history: last-3 check using the same logic as changeMyPassword —
|
|
no divergent implementation.
|
|
✓ History trim: keeps only last 3 entries, preventing unbounded growth.
|
|
✓ Middleware correctly excludes forgot-password/* from session requirement
|
|
(line 49 matcher).
|
|
✓ Auth layout redirects authenticated users away from auth pages (layout.tsx
|
|
line 19).
|
|
✓ login action: generic error message for all failure modes (unknown user,
|
|
wrong password, inactive account) — no information leakage.
|
|
✓ No .env files in git (checked .gitignore patterns).
