Qatra — Security Hardening Report

Date: 2026-07-13

---

1. Executive Summary

Comprehensive security audit and hardening of the Qatra blood donation platform. The platform consists of a single-file frontend (index.html, ~1800 lines), Supabase backend (PostgreSQL + RLS), and static assets on GitHub Pages.

Risk reduction: CRITICAL → MEDIUM (remaining risks require infra changes documented below)

2. Vulnerabilities Found & Fixed

2.1 CRITICAL — Fixed

#	Vulnerability	OWASP	CVSS	Fix Applied
C1	RLS wide open — USING (true) on all tables, DELETE public on blood_requests	A01:2021	9.1	Rewrote all RLS policies: read-only for reference data, insert-only for user tables, no public UPDATE or DELETE on any table
C2	select('*') on donors — leaks all columns to every client	A03:2021	8.6	Replaced with explicit column lists: id,full_name,phone,blood_type,...
C3	XSS via innerHTML — d.phone injected unescaped into href attributes	A03:2021	8.1	Replaced entire renderResults innerHTML with safe DOM construction (createElement + textContent + setAttribute)
C4	No input validation — any string accepted for name, phone, facebook	A03:2021	7.5	Added regex validation: phone ^0[5-7]\d{8}$, name 2-100 chars no HTML, facebook URL domain whitelist
C5	document.write in printPoster — potential XSS vector	A03:2021	7.0	Replaced with safe DOM construction (createElement + src attribute)
C6	No Content Security Policy	A05:2021	7.5	Added CSP <meta> tag: script-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline' https://cdn.jsdelivr.net, frame-ancestors 'none', connect-src limited to Supabase origin

2.2 HIGH — Fixed

#	Vulnerability	OWASP	CVSS	Fix Applied
H1	No rate limiting — unlimited INSERT spam	A04:2021	7.5	Client-side cooldowns (5min register, 1min feedback/rating) + Cloudflare Workers proxy (worker.js) with per-IP limits
H2	Facebook URL injection — no domain validation	A03:2021	6.5	Added RE_FB regex whitelist: only `https://(www.)?(facebook
H3	No consent/privacy notice — GDPR/compliance gap	A01:2021	6.0	Added privacy policy modal + mandatory consent checkbox on registration
H4	Feedback table exposed to public SELECT — data leakage	A01:2021	5.5	Removed public SELECT on feedback table (admin-only via service_role)
H5	No maxlength on form inputs — abuse vector	A05:2021	5.0	Added maxlength: name=100, phone=10, facebook=255, suggestion=2000, comment=1000
H6	Blood type not validated on insert — CHECK constraint only	A03:2021	5.0	Added client-side whitelist: VALID_BLOOD.includes(bloodType) before insert

2.3 MEDIUM — Fixed

#	Vulnerability	OWASP	CVSS	Fix Applied
M1	No rel="noopener noreferrer" on external links	A05:2021	4.5	Added to all dynamic links (WhatsApp, Facebook) in DOM construction
M2	No referrerpolicy header	A05:2021	3.5	Added <meta name="referrer" content="no-referrer">
M3	Last donation date accepts future dates	A04:2021	3.5	Added validateLastDonation() — date must be ≤ now
M4	Phone not validated in href — could contain non-digit chars	A03:2021	4.0	Phone validated with RE_PHONE regex before creating tel: and wa.me links
M5	Particle canvas runs on all devices including low-end	A05:2021	2.0	Reduced particle count on mobile (20 vs 40)

3. Changes Applied by File

schema.sql (complete rewrite)

4. Remaining Risks (Requires Infrastructure Changes)

#	Risk	Severity	Mitigation Needed
R1	No authentication — all operations are anonymous	HIGH	Implement Supabase Auth + role-based access
R2	No admin dashboard — no way to manage users/requests	HIGH	Build admin UI with service_role key
R3	Client-side rate limiting only — can be bypassed	MEDIUM	Deploy worker.js + update frontend to use Worker URL for INSERTs
R4	Phone numbers visible publicly — privacy concern	MEDIUM	Add auth-gated contact reveal
R5	No server-side input validation — client-side only	MEDIUM	Add Supabase Edge Functions or Worker-side validation
R6	No HTTPS enforcement on custom domain	LOW	Ensure GitHub Pages HTTPS is enabled
R7	No CAPTCHA — automated spam possible	LOW	Add hCaptcha/Turnstile to registration

---

5. Auth System Architecture (Design — Not Yet Implemented)

5.1 Role Hierarchy

visitor (unauthenticated)
  └─ donor (authenticated, verified phone)
       └─ moderator (assigned by admin)
            └─ admin (owner)

5.2 Supabase Auth Integration

-- profiles table (linked to auth.users)
CREATE TABLE profiles (
  id UUID PRIMARY KEY REFERENCES auth.users(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
  role TEXT DEFAULT 'donor' CHECK (role IN ('donor','moderator','admin')),
  phone_verified BOOLEAN DEFAULT false,
  created_at TIMESTAMPTZ DEFAULT now()
);

5.3 Updated RLS Policies (with auth)

-- Donors: public read, authenticated insert, owner update
CREATE POLICY "donors_insert_auth" ON donors FOR INSERT
  WITH CHECK (auth.role() = 'authenticated');

CREATE POLICY "donors_update_owner" ON donors FOR UPDATE
  USING (auth.uid() = (SELECT user_id FROM profiles WHERE id = donors.id));

-- Admin: full access via service_role (never from frontend)
-- Feedback: moderator+ can read, authenticated can insert
-- Ratings: public read, authenticated insert, owner delete

5.4 Admin Dashboard Architecture

• Separate admin.html or route
• Uses SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY stored in a Worker/Edge Function (never in frontend)
• Dashboard features:
  • User management (view/delete/ban donors)
  • Blood request moderation
  • Feedback review queue
  • Analytics (registrations over time, blood type distribution)
  • Spam detection (duplicate phone, suspicious patterns)

---

6. Deployment Steps for Remaining Items

6.1 Deploy Cloudflare Worker

npm install -g wrangler
wrangler login
wrangler secret put SUPABASE_ANON_KEY
wrangler deploy

Then update SUPABASE_URL in index.html to point to the Worker URL.

6.2 Enable Supabase Auth

1. Enable Email/Phone auth in Supabase Dashboard → Authentication → Providers
2. Run the profiles table migration
3. Update RLS policies as shown in Section 5.3
4. Add login/signup UI to index.html
5. Store service_role key in a Worker/Edge Function for admin operations

6.3 Add CAPTCHA

• Add Cloudflare Turnstile (free) to registration form
• Verify token server-side (in Worker) before forwarding to Supabase
