# Stripe Integration Security Fixes

## Date: 2025-01-30

This document summarizes the critical security and reliability fixes applied to the Stripe integration.

---

## ✅ FIXES IMPLEMENTED

### 1. 🔒 Webhook Secret Validation (CRITICAL)

**File**: `server/config/stripe.js`

**Problem**: Webhook secret could be undefined, disabling signature verification entirely.

**Fix Applied**:
```javascript
if (!process.env.STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET) {
  throw new Error('STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET environment variable is required');
}
export const webhookSecret = process.env.STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET;
```

**Impact**: Server will now fail to start if webhook secret is missing, preventing security vulnerability.

---

### 2. 🔒 Idempotency Protection (CRITICAL)

**File**: `server/routes/webhooks.js`

**Problem**: Stripe sends webhooks multiple times. No idempotency checks meant duplicate Wren orders could be created.

**Fix Applied**: Added idempotency checks to all webhook handlers:

```javascript
// In handleCheckoutSessionCompleted()
if (order.status === 'fulfilled' || order.wren_order_id) {
  console.log(`⚠️  Order ${order.id} already fulfilled, skipping duplicate webhook`);
  return;
}

if (order.status === 'paid') {
  console.log(`⚠️  Order ${order.id} already marked as paid, skipping payment update`);
  await fulfillOrder(order, session);
  return;
}

// In fulfillOrder()
if (order.wren_order_id) {
  console.log(`⚠️  Order ${order.id} already has Wren order ID, skipping fulfillment`);
  return;
}
```

**Impact**:
- Prevents duplicate Wren offset orders
- Prevents double-charging customers
- Handles webhook retries correctly

---

### 3. 🔒 CORS Security Enhancement (HIGH)

**File**: `server/index.js`

**Problem**: CORS allowed all origins in production, potential CSRF vulnerability.

**Fix Applied**:
```javascript
const corsOptions = {
  origin: (origin, callback) => {
    const allowedOrigins = [
      process.env.FRONTEND_URL || 'http://localhost:5173',
      'http://localhost:5173', // Always allow local development
      'http://localhost:3800', // Docker frontend
    ].filter(Boolean);

    if (!origin) {
      return callback(null, true); // Mobile apps, Postman
    }

    if (allowedOrigins.includes(origin)) {
      callback(null, true);
    } else {
      console.warn(`🚫 CORS blocked request from origin: ${origin}`);
      callback(new Error('Not allowed by CORS'));
    }
  },
  credentials: true,
  methods: ['GET', 'POST', 'PUT', 'DELETE', 'OPTIONS'],
  allowedHeaders: ['Content-Type', 'Authorization'],
};
```

**Impact**: Only whitelisted origins can make API requests, preventing CSRF attacks.

---

### 4. ⚡ Atomic Database Updates (HIGH)

**File**: `server/models/Order.js`

**Problem**: Separate database calls for payment intent and status updates created race conditions.

**Fix Applied**: Added atomic update method:
```javascript
static updatePaymentAndStatus(id, paymentIntentId, status) {
  const now = new Date().toISOString();
  const stmt = db.prepare(`
    UPDATE orders
    SET stripe_payment_intent = ?, status = ?, updated_at = ?
    WHERE id = ?
  `);
  stmt.run(paymentIntentId, status, now, id);
  return this.findById(id);
}
```

**Updated webhook handler** to use atomic method:
```javascript
// Before: Two separate calls (race condition possible)
Order.updatePaymentIntent(order.id, session.payment_intent);
Order.updateStatus(order.id, 'paid');

// After: Single atomic update
Order.updatePaymentAndStatus(order.id, session.payment_intent, 'paid');
```

**Impact**: Prevents partial updates if server crashes between operations.

---

### 5. 🖼️ Fixed Placeholder Image URL (LOW)

**File**: `server/routes/checkout.js`

**Problem**: Placeholder image URL wouldn't work in production.

**Fix Applied**:
```javascript
// Commented out until real image is available
// images: ['https://puffinoffset.com/images/carbon-offset.png'],
```

**Impact**: Prevents broken images in Stripe Checkout.

## 📋 TESTING CHECKLIST

Before deploying to production, verify:

### Local Testing
- [ ] Set `STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET` in `.env`
- [ ] Server starts without errors
- [ ] Create a test checkout session
- [ ] Use Stripe CLI to forward webhooks: `stripe listen --forward-to localhost:3801/api/webhooks/stripe`
- [ ] Trigger test webhook: `stripe trigger checkout.session.completed`
- [ ] Verify webhook processed successfully
- [ ] Trigger same webhook again - should skip duplicate

### Production Testing (Test Mode)
- [ ] Deploy to production with test keys
- [ ] Create webhook endpoint in Stripe Dashboard (test mode)
- [ ] Copy webhook secret to production `.env`
- [ ] Test complete checkout flow with test card: `4242 4242 4242 4242`
- [ ] Verify order created in database
- [ ] Verify Wren offset created (with `WREN_DRY_RUN=true`)
- [ ] Check logs for idempotency messages if webhook sent multiple times

---

## 🔐 PRODUCTION DEPLOYMENT STEPS

### 1. Update Environment Variables

Add to production `.env` file:
```bash
# Stripe Configuration
STRIPE_SECRET_KEY=sk_test_your_test_secret_key
STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET=whsec_your_webhook_secret

# Backend Configuration
NODE_ENV=production
PORT=3001
FRONTEND_URL=https://puffinoffset.com

# Wren Configuration (test mode initially)
WREN_API_TOKEN=your_wren_api_token
WREN_DRY_RUN=true  # Set to true for testing!

# Database
DATABASE_PATH=/app/data/orders.db
```

### 2. Create Stripe Webhook Endpoint

1. Go to: https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/webhooks
2. Click "Add endpoint"
3. URL: `https://puffinoffset.com/api/webhooks/stripe`
4. Select events:
   - `checkout.session.completed`
   - `checkout.session.async_payment_succeeded`
   - `checkout.session.async_payment_failed`
5. Click "Add endpoint"
6. **Copy the signing secret** (starts with `whsec_`)
7. Add to production `.env` as `STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET`

### 3. Deploy Updated Code

```bash
# On server:
cd /opt/puffin-app
git pull origin main
docker compose pull
docker compose up -d

# Verify services started
docker compose ps
docker compose logs -f backend
```

### 4. Verify Deployment

```bash
# Check backend health
curl https://puffinoffset.com/api/health

# Check logs for startup messages
docker compose logs backend | grep "Stripe"
# Should see:
# ✅ Stripe client initialized
# ✅ Webhook secret configured
```

---

## 🚨 REMAINING MEDIUM PRIORITY ISSUES

These should be addressed after initial production deployment:

### 1. Wren API Retry Logic
**Status**: Not implemented
**Impact**: If Wren API fails, order marked as paid but not fulfilled
**Recommendation**: Implement job queue for retries (bull/bee-queue)

### 2. Pricing Calculation Precision
**Status**: Uses double rounding
**Impact**: Potential 1-cent discrepancies
**Recommendation**: Use fixed-point arithmetic library

### 3. Portfolio Validation
**Status**: Only checks if ID is 1, 2, or 3
**Impact**: Assumes portfolios always exist in Wren API
**Recommendation**: Validate against Wren API on startup

### 4. Error Information Leakage
**Status**: Exposes internal errors to client
**Impact**: Could leak sensitive information
**Recommendation**: Sanitize error messages in production

## 🎯 PRODUCTION READINESS

**Current Status**: ✅ **READY FOR TEST MODE PRODUCTION**

The integration is now secure enough for production deployment with:
- Test Stripe keys (`sk_test_...`)
- Test webhook endpoint
- `WREN_DRY_RUN=true` for safe Wren API testing

### Before Going Live with Real Payments:
1. ✅ Test complete checkout flow with test cards
2. ✅ Verify webhook security is working
3. ✅ Test idempotency by manually triggering same webhook multiple times
4. ⚠️ Implement monitoring/alerting for failed Wren fulfillments
5. ⚠️ Add retry mechanism for Wren API failures
6. ✅ Switch to live Stripe keys when ready
7. ✅ Update webhook endpoint to live mode
8. ✅ Set `WREN_DRY_RUN=false` for real offsets

## 📞 SUPPORT & DEBUGGING

### Useful Commands

```bash
# View webhook logs
docker compose logs -f backend | grep "webhook"

# Check recent orders
docker compose exec backend sqlite3 /app/data/orders.db \
  "SELECT id, status, stripe_session_id, wren_order_id FROM orders ORDER BY created_at DESC LIMIT 10;"

# Test webhook locally
stripe listen --forward-to localhost:3801/api/webhooks/stripe
stripe trigger checkout.session.completed
```

### Common Issues

**Issue**: Server won't start - "STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET environment variable is required"
**Solution**: Add `STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET` to `.env` file

**Issue**: Webhook signature verification failed
**Solution**: Verify webhook secret matches Stripe Dashboard

**Issue**: Duplicate Wren orders
**Solution**: Check logs for idempotency messages - should say "already fulfilled, skipping"
