Wat een audit je geeft

Impact

Full read of the orders table, including customer names, addresses and payment references, and a plausible path to writing or dropping data.

Exploitscenario

A request to `/orders/1 or 1=1` returns every order in the table. `/orders/1; drop table orders --` runs a second statement on a driver that allows it. No account is needed: the route is reachable before the session check on line 39.

Oplossing

Pass the identifier as a bound parameter and reject anything that is not a UUID before the query runs.

Zo los je het op

1. Validate the parameter: `if (!isUuid(req.params.id)) return res.status(400).json({ error: "Invalid order id." });`
2. Replace the concatenated query with a parameterized one, as in the patch below.
3. Search the rest of `src/routes` for the same pattern — `db.query("… " +` — and convert those too.
4. Add a regression test that requests `/orders/1 or 1=1` and expects 400.

Patch

const { rows } = await db.query(
  "select * from orders where id = $1",
  [req.params.id],
);

Zo controleer je het

Replay `GET /orders/1%20or%201=1`: it must answer 400, and the Postgres log must show the parameterized statement with the raw value bound, not interpolated.

Impact

Cross-customer data exposure: addresses, totals and payment references belonging to other accounts.

Exploitscenario

A customer who signs up legitimately can iterate order identifiers and read other customers' orders. Nothing in the logs distinguishes this from normal use.

Oplossing

Scope the query to the session's user, so an identifier alone is never enough.

Zo los je het op

1. Add `and user_id = $2` to the query and pass `req.session.userId`.
2. Return 404 rather than 403 when the row is missing, so the endpoint does not confirm which identifiers exist.
3. Apply the same scoping to `PATCH /orders/:id` and `POST /orders/:id/refund`.

Patch

const { rows } = await db.query(
  "select * from orders where id = $1 and user_id = $2",
  [req.params.id, req.session.userId],
);
if (rows.length === 0) return res.status(404).end();

Zo controleer je het

Sign in as one account and request an order created by another: the response must be 404, and the row must not appear in the body.

Impact

Full API access to the payment account, independent of this service.

Exploitscenario

The key is in every clone and in the commit history. It allows charges, refunds and customer reads against the live account until it is rotated.

Oplossing

Rotate the key first, then remove the fallback so a missing variable fails loudly at boot.

Zo los je het op

1. Roll the key in the Stripe dashboard now; the committed one must be treated as public.
2. Replace the fallback with a hard failure, as in the patch.
3. Purge the value from history (`git filter-repo`) or accept that the old key stays exposed and rely on the rotation.
4. Add a secret scan to CI so the next one is caught before it merges.

Patch

const key = process.env.STRIPE_SECRET_KEY;
if (!key) throw new Error("STRIPE_SECRET_KEY is not set");
export const STRIPE_KEY = key;

Zo controleer je het

Start the service without `STRIPE_SECRET_KEY`: it must refuse to boot instead of using a built-in value.

Impact

Double refunds and a bill at the payment provider for traffic nobody asked for.

Exploitscenario

A customer sending the same refund twice within a few milliseconds can have the order refunded twice before the status is written back.

Oplossing

Limit the endpoint per account and make the refund idempotent at the database level.

Zo los je het op

1. Add a limiter keyed on the session's user, e.g. 5 refunds per hour.
2. Claim the refund with a conditional update — `update orders set status = 'refunding' where id = $1 and status = 'paid' returning id` — and only call Stripe when a row comes back.
3. Pass an idempotency key to the Stripe call so a retry cannot charge twice.

Zo controleer je het

Fire two refund requests for the same order in parallel: exactly one must reach Stripe, and the second must answer 409.
