User description

PR #12 had merge conflicts with master preventing merge. Conflicts arose from parallel changes to dependency management and ExcelJS migration in both branches.

Resolved Conflicts

package.json: Two conflict zones

  • Removed @angular/cli from dependencies (duplicate with devDependencies)
  • Merged npm overrides: kept both security fixes (axios, form-data) and type definition pins (@types/d3-dispatch, @types/linkify-it)

mapping.component.ts: Single conflict at line 186

  • Preserved optional chaining column.eachCell?.() required for TypeScript 4.6

package-lock.json: Extensive conflicts

  • Regenerated via npm install after resolving package.json

Result

All PR #12 security improvements intact:

  • CSP headers, security audit utility, ExcelJS migration
  • npm overrides for axios ≥1.8.2 (SSRF), form-data ≥4.0.4 (boundary prediction)
  • Type definition pins for TS 4.6 compatibility

Ready for merge.

PR Compliance Guide 🔍

Below is a summary of compliance checks for this PR:

Security Compliance
URL sanitization bypass

Description: SecurityAudit.isSafeUrl() only blocks a small set of protocol prefixes via startsWith(),
which can potentially be bypassed with crafted URLs that browsers may still interpret as
executable (e.g., java\tscript:..., java\nscript:..., mixed/embedded control characters,
or other parsing edge cases), leading to XSS if sanitizeUrl() output is used for
href/xlink:href bindings.
security-audit.ts [10-24]

Referred Code
static isSafeUrl(url: string): boolean {
  if (!url || typeof url !== 'string') return false;

  const dangerous = ['javascript:', 'data:', 'vbscript:', 'file:'];
  const lowerUrl = url.trim().toLowerCase();

  return !dangerous.some(protocol => lowerUrl.startsWith(protocol));
}

/**
 * Sanitizes a URL for safe use, returns empty string if dangerous
 */
static sanitizeUrl(url: string): string {
  return this.isSafeUrl(url) ? url : '';
}
Weak Content Security Policy

Description: The CSP explicitly allows 'unsafe-inline' and 'unsafe-eval' in script-src, which
substantially weakens XSS protections (inline script execution and eval-like sinks remain
usable), so this mitigation may provide limited defense if an injection is found elsewhere
in the app.
index.html [8-20]

Referred Code
<!-- Content Security Policy for XSS mitigation (Dependabot #58)
     Note: 'unsafe-inline' and 'unsafe-eval' are required for Angular 13.
     These will be removed when upgrading to Angular 19+ which supports stricter CSP. -->

Strengthen URL validation against XSS

Improve the URL validation in isSafeUrl to prevent XSS bypasses. Normalize the
URL by removing control characters and whitespace before checking for dangerous
protocols.

src/app/util/security-audit.ts [14-16]

-const lowerUrl = url.trim().toLowerCase();
+// Normalize by removing control characters and whitespace, then convert to lower case.
+const normalizedUrl = url.replace(/[\s\u0000-\u001f]/g, '').toLowerCase();

+return !dangerous.some(protocol => normalizedUrl.startsWith(protocol));

Suggestion importance[1-10]: 9

Why: This suggestion addresses a valid and non-obvious XSS bypass technique by strengthening the new isSafeUrl function, making the PR's security fix significantly more robust.

High
Tighten Content Security Policy rules

Tighten the Content Security Policy by making the img-src directive more
restrictive. Remove the overly permissive https: source to reduce the risk of
loading unintended images.

src/index.html [11-20]

 <meta
   http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy"

Suggestion importance[1-10]: 6

Why: The suggestion correctly identifies that img-src https: is overly permissive and proposes a stricter policy, which is a valid security hardening improvement aligned with the PR's goals.

Low
High-level
Unused security utility adds dead code

The new SecurityAudit class is unused within the codebase. It should either be
integrated to perform URL sanitization or removed to eliminate dead code.

Examples:

src/app/util/security-audit.ts [1-25]
/**
 * Security utility to validate URLs before binding to SVG/MathML attributes
 * Addresses Dependabot Alert #58 (Angular XSS via SVG attributes)
 */
export class SecurityAudit {
  /**
   * Validates that a URL is safe for use in href/xlink:href attributes
   * Blocks javascript:, data:, and other dangerous protocols
   */
  static isSafeUrl(url: string): boolean {

 ... (clipped 15 lines)

Solution Walkthrough:

Before:

// src/app/util/security-audit.ts (new file)
export class SecurityAudit {
  static isSafeUrl(url: string): boolean { ... }
  static sanitizeUrl(url: string): string { ... }
}

// src/app/pages/circular-heatmap/circular-heatmap.component.ts
...
// SECURITY NOTE: xlink:href usage here is safe...
.attr('xlink:href', '#segment-label-path-' + id)
...
// No other files import or use SecurityAudit.

After:

// Option 1: Remove the unused utility
// File 'src/app/util/security-audit.ts' is deleted.

// Option 2: Integrate the utility
// src/app/pages/circular-heatmap/circular-heatmap.component.ts
import { SecurityAudit } from 'src/app/util/security-audit';
...
.attr('xlink:href', SecurityAudit.sanitizeUrl('#segment-label-path-' + id))
...
Suggestion importance[1-10]: 6

__

Why: The suggestion correctly identifies that the new SecurityAudit utility is dead code, which adds unnecessary complexity and maintenance overhead.

  • Added Content Security Policy meta tag to mitigate XSS attacks (with Angular 13 constraints documented)
  • Introduced SecurityAudit utility class for URL validation to address Dependabot Alert devsecopsmaturitymodel#58
  • Fixed TypeScript 4.6 compatibility by using optional chaining for column.eachCell method
  • Moved @angular/cli from dependencies to devDependencies and pinned type definition versions

The SecurityAudit utility class has been added but is not actually used anywhere in the codebase. While the class itself is well-implemented and provides good URL validation functionality, it should either be used for its intended purpose (validating URLs before binding to SVG/MathML attributes) or removed if not needed. Consider actually implementing the security checks in places where user-controlled URLs might be used with xlink:href or similar attributes.

The CSP header allows 'unsafe-inline' and 'unsafe-eval' which significantly weakens the security posture. While the comment explains this is required for Angular 13 and will be addressed in Angular 19+, the CSP also allows 'img-src' and 'connect-src' to any https: source, which is overly permissive. Consider restricting these to specific trusted domains rather than allowing all HTTPS sources to reduce attack surface.
