+# Security Guidelines

+## CSRF
+
+The tool to protect clients from CSRF is a randomly generated CSRF token,
+that can be used inside the URI generator. It's highly recomended to make 
+use of this token whenever possible in order to reduce the risk of CSRF 
+attacks.
+
+Example usage:
+
+```
+<form action="<?= UriFactory::build('/{/lang}/api/path?csrf={$CSRF}')" ...>
+    ...
+</form>
+```
+
+Now the application will receive the automatically generated CSRF token as 
+query parameter for further use. If the CSRF token is not the same as the one 
+assoziated with the client on the server side the client will receive a 403 
+HTTP response. The CSRF however doesn't have be specified, if that's the case 
+**every module itself must make sure wheter a valid CSRF token is required** 
+or not. The reason for this is that third party requests are a possibility as 
+well, and sharing the private CSRF token would render it useless.
+
+Since the validation of the CSRF token is performed automatically it is only 
+necessary to check the existence, since if it exists it has to be valid.
+
+Example usage in a module handling a API request:
+
+```
+if($request->getData('CSRF') === null) {
+    $response->setStatusCode(403);
+        
+    /* optional */
+    $response->set($request->__toString(), new Notify('Unknown referrer!', NotifyType::INFO));
+    
+    return;
+}
+```
+
+### When do I check for the CSRF token validity/existence?
+
+Always! Except the request has the potential to come from third party 
+referrers. Here a few examples of requests that must always have a valid CSRF 
+token:
+
+1. Login/logout
+2. Creating/updating/deleting a news post
+3. Uploading media files
+4. Changes in user settings
+
+Here some examples of requests that **MAY** not need a validation (mostly API 
+GET requests):
+
+1. Get news posts
+2. Get last log message
+
+It's important to understand that the CSRF token is not equivalent with 
+authentication or API token. Client can be logged out and still need a 
+CSRF token and obviously vice versa.
+
+## Super globals
+
+Super globals are not available througout the application and the values can 
+only be accesed through middleware classes like:
+
+* SessionManager
+* CookieJar
+* Request
+* Response
+
+In some cases super globals will even be overwritten by values from these 
+classes before generating a response. Do not directly access super globals!
+
+## Input validation
+
+Input validation be implemented on multiple levels.
+
+1. Regex validation in html/javascript by using the `pattern=""` attribute
+2. Type hints for method parameters wherever possible.
+3. Making use of the `Validation` classes as much as possible
+4. **Don't** sanitize at all! Accept or dismiss.
+
+## Inclusion and file paths
+
+Be vigilant of where and how the path for the following scenarios comes from:
+
+1. `include $path;`
+2. `fopen($path);`
+3. `file_get_contents('../relative/path/to/' . $path);`
+4. `mkdir($path);`
+
+These are just a few examples but it is very important to make sure, that 
+these paths only have access to wherever the programmer intended them for. 
+At first it is always a good idea to get the `$path = realpath($path)` of a 
+path in order to make sure the path exists and for further validation.
+
+Example usage:
+
+```
+if(($pathNew = realpath($path)) === false || strpos($pathNew, self::MODULE_PATH) === false) {
+    throw new FilePathException($path);
+}
+```
+
+The example throws an exception if the path either doesn't exist or is trying 
+to access a path that doesn't contain the path defined in `self::MODULE_PATH`. 
+Another validation could be:
+
+```
+if(($pathNew = realpath($path)) === false || !Validator::startsWith($pathNew, ROOT_PATH)) {
+    throw new FilePathException($path);
+}
+```
+
+This example now is not only checking if the path exists and if it contains a 
+path element, it also makes sure that the path is inside the application root 
+path. You could as easily replace `ROOT_PATH` with `self::MODULE_PATH` and this 
+validation would make sure `$path` only directs within a module.
