Security Implementation

File Validation (file-safety.js)

1. Extension Check: Only .pdf allowed
2. MIME Type Verification: Magic number detection via file-type package
3. Size Limit: 50MB default (configurable)
4. Filename Sanitization:
   • Path separator removal
   • Null byte removal
   • Special character filtering
   • Length limiting (200 chars)

Access Control

1. JWT Authentication: All routes require valid JWT token
2. Organization-Based: Users can only access documents in their organizations
3. Document Ownership: Uploader has full access
4. Share Permissions: Granular sharing via document_shares table
5. Role-Based: Admin/manager roles for deletion

Database Security

1. Prepared Statements: All queries use parameterized queries
2. Foreign Keys: Enforced referential integrity
3. Soft Deletes: Documents marked as deleted, not removed
4. Hash Deduplication: SHA256 hash prevents duplicate uploads

Search Security

1. Tenant Tokens: Scoped to user + organizations
2. Row-Level Security: Filter injection at token generation
3. Time-Limited: 1-hour default, 24-hour maximum
4. Client-Side Search: Direct Meilisearch access with scoped token

Database Schema Integration

• components - Equipment and systems
• document_shares - Sharing permissions

Key Fields

• Metadata fields are JSON (TEXT)
• Status fields use enums (TEXT with constraints)
