Security Checklist Status

Security Checklist Status - Purro Extension (Updated)

Detailed assessment of security implementation requirements following deployment of security enhancements.

Implementation Requirements

✅ Use crypto.getRandomValues() for all random generation

Status: FULLY IMPLEMENTED

Location: src/background/lib/encryption.ts:145-146, 373, 383

Evidence:

salt = crypto.getRandomValues(new Uint8Array(SALT_LENGTH));
nonce = crypto.getRandomValues(new Uint8Array(NONCE_LENGTH));

✅ Never store passwords or keys in plaintext

Status: FULLY IMPLEMENTED

Password Storage: src/background/handlers/storage-handler.ts:180-189 - stores only hash+salt
Private Key Storage: src/background/handlers/storage-handler.ts:237-246 - stores encrypted
Seed Phrase Storage: src/background/handlers/storage-handler.ts:253-257 - stores encrypted
Session Password: Only in Offscreen Document memory, never persisted

✅ Implement secure memory cleanup for sensitive data

Status: FULLY IMPLEMENTED

Location: src/background/lib/encryption.ts:117-126, src/background/offscreen.ts:7-20

Evidence:

function secureSessionCleanup() {
    if (session?.password) {
        session.password = '0'.repeat(len);
        session.password = '1'.repeat(len);
        session.password = crypto.getRandomValues(new Uint8Array(len)).join('');
        session.password = '';
    }
    session = null;
    if (global.gc) global.gc();
}

Testing: Comprehensive test coverage in src/background/handlers/test/security-tests.ts

✅ Use constant-time comparison for password/hash verification

Status: FULLY IMPLEMENTED

Location: src/background/lib/encryption.ts:463-490

Evidence: Implements constant-time comparison with fallback:

secureCompare: (a: string, b: string): boolean => {
    // Try native timing-safe comparison if available
    if (typeof crypto !== 'undefined' && crypto.subtle && 'timingSafeEqual' in crypto.subtle) {
        return (crypto.subtle as any).timingSafeEqual(aBuffer, bBuffer);
    }
    // Manual constant-time comparison fallback
    let result = 0;
    for (let i = 0; i < a.length; i++) {
        result |= a.charCodeAt(i) ^ b.charCodeAt(i);
    }
    return result === 0;
}

Testing: Timing attack resistance test in security test suite

✅ Validate all inputs and enforce size limits

Status: FULLY IMPLEMENTED

Location: src/background/lib/encryption.ts:48-78, 80-114
Password Validation: Min 8 chars, max 1000, checks control characters
Data Validation: Max 10MB, type checking
Encryption Data Validation: Checks required fields, iterations bounds, base64 format

Evidence:

const MAX_DATA_SIZE = 10 * 1024 * 1024; // 10MB max
const MIN_PASSWORD_LENGTH = 8;
const MIN_ITERATIONS = 500000;
const MAX_ITERATIONS = 2000000;

Testing: Input validation tests in security test suite

✅ Implement proper session timeout and auto-lock

Status: FULLY IMPLEMENTED

Auto-lock Scheduling: src/background/handlers/auth-handler.ts:13-21, 88, 123
Session Expiration Check: src/background/handlers/auth-handler.ts:31-34, src/background/offscreen.ts:62-66
Timeout Bounds: 5 minutes minimum, 24 hours maximum

Evidence:

export const DEFAULT_TIMEOUT = 30 * 60 * 1000; // 30 minutes
export const MAX_TIMEOUT = 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000; // 24 hours
export const MIN_TIMEOUT = 5 * 60 * 1000; // 5 minutes

scheduleAutoLock(timeoutMs: number) {
    chrome.alarms.clear('AUTO_LOCK');
    chrome.alarms.create('AUTO_LOCK', { when: Date.now() + timeoutMs });
}

Testing: Comprehensive auto-lock tests in src/background/handlers/test/security-tests.ts

✅ Add integrity verification to all encrypted data

Status: FULLY IMPLEMENTED

Location: src/background/lib/encryption.ts:180-181, 255-261
Implementation: SHA-256 digest is generated and verified during encrypt/decrypt

Evidence:

// During encryption
const digest = await crypto.subtle.digest('SHA-256', plaintext);

// During decryption
const computedDigest = await crypto.subtle.digest('SHA-256', decrypted);
if (!encryption.secureCompare(computedDigestB64, encryptedData.digest)) {
    throw new Error('Data integrity verification failed');
}

Testing: Tampering detection tests in security test suite

✅ Use secure communication patterns between components

Status: FULLY IMPLEMENTED

Offscreen Communication: src/background/lib/offscreen-manager.ts:56-85
Timeout Protection: 8 second timeout, no fallback storage
Error Handling: Fails securely when communication errors occur

Evidence:

async sendToOffscreen(action: string, data?: any): Promise<any> {
    const timeout = setTimeout(() => {
        reject(new Error('Secure session storage timeout - please unlock again'));
    }, 8000);
    // No fallback - fails securely
}

Testing Requirements

Deployment Security

✅ Enable Content Security Policy (CSP)

Status: FULLY IMPLEMENTED

Location: src/manifest.json:6-8

Implementation:

"content_security_policy": {
    "extension_pages": "script-src 'self'; object-src 'self'; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'; img-src 'self' data: https:; connect-src 'self' https:; frame-src 'none';"
}

Verification: GitHub Actions workflow checks CSP presence

✅ Use HTTPS for all external communications

Status: FULLY IMPLEMENTED

Evidence: All endpoints in src/client/services/endpoints.ts use HTTPS
External APIs: Alchemy, Hyperliquid, Gecko Terminal, etc. all use HTTPS
No HTTP Found: GitHub Actions workflow verifies no HTTP URLs exist
Verification: Automated check in CI/CD

✅ Implement proper error handling without information leakage

Status: FULLY IMPLEMENTED

Location: src/background/handlers/evm-handler.ts:688-708, error handling does not expose sensitive info
Generic Errors: “Session expired”, “Private key access failed” instead of detailed errors

Evidence:

return {
    success: false,
    error: SIGNING_ERRORS.SESSION_EXPIRED.message,
    code: SIGNING_ERRORS.SESSION_EXPIRED.code
};

✅ Regular dependency security audits
