Adds a layered set of protections around the admin login and the app edge.
Trust proxy (server/src/utils/trustProxy.js)
- Configurable via TRUST_PROXY; pin to the newt agent ("ptero") LAN IP so
X-Forwarded-For is trusted ONLY from that peer. A blanket "true" is
rejected (coerced to 1) to prevent XFF spoofing that would dodge every
IP-based control. DEBUG_TRUST_PROXY logs peer/XFF/req.ip to re-verify the
proxy IP without a redeploy. Documents the Omada static-reservation
assumption.
Login throttling (server/src/middleware/loginProtection.js, rateLimit.js)
- express-slow-down progressive delay + the existing hard rate cap + a
separate per-IP exponential backoff that persists across the rate window.
All failures return one generic message (no user/pass disclosure).
Honeypot (login form + auth.controller)
- Hidden, plausibly-named field ("company"); a filled value fails
generically and is scored as an unambiguous bot.
Optional per-user TOTP 2FA (speakeasy/qrcode)
- totp_secret/totp_enabled columns (+ idempotent migration). Self-service
Account page: enroll via QR, confirm a code to enable, code-gated disable.
- Login is two-step for enrolled users: after the password, a short-lived
signed challenge (stage:'totp', not a session) is required before the
real session is issued.
Bot / scanner scoring + IP ban (server/src/middleware/botScore.js)
- Weighted CMS-scanner paths (this app uses none). Junk paths 404 FIRST,
unconditionally — independent of score/ban state, so a scanner rotating
through fresh Cloudflare IPs gets no free pass. /wp-admin/install.php is
the top-weighted near-1-hit ban (worst offender in prod logs). Per-IP
score with quiet-period decay temp-bans an IP from ALL routes once past a
(deliberately low) threshold, to protect /admin from credential stuffing.
Failed logins and honeypot hits feed the same score.
- Periodic sweep evicts stale, unbanned, quiet entries so the in-memory
store can't grow unbounded; the interval is unref'd and cleared on
graceful shutdown.
Tests: node --test suite (40) covering trust-proxy parsing + live req.ip
(incl. pinned-IP), rate limiter + exponential backoff, honeypot rejection,
TOTP verify (enabled/disabled) + challenge-isn't-a-session, bot-score
threshold/decay/ban + junk-404-independence + install.php + store sweep.

Foundation & safety phase of the wiki upgrade (see WIKI_UPGRADE.md).
Schema (additive, idempotent via ensureSchema):
- new wiki_categories table; wiki_pages gains category_id, excerpt,
published, published_at, sort_order, and a FULLTEXT index
- migration ALTERs guarded with IF NOT EXISTS for existing databases
- seed reworked into 4 sections with the 8 starter pages assigned
Security:
- new utils/sanitizeHtml.js (sanitize-html allowlist); wiki bodies are
sanitized on every save, and the article renders through DOMPurify
- strips <script>, event handlers (onerror), and javascript: URLs
Backend:
- public: published-only list with ?category filter + /wiki/categories
- admin: extended page CRUD, PATCH publish toggle, category CRUD;
drafts visible to admin, hidden from public
- all writes logged to activity_log
Frontend:
- data-driven public wiki index (sections + real descriptions; removed
hardcoded blurbs/Roman numerals) with ?category filtering
- article: category breadcrumb + sanitized render
- admin: Section/Status columns, draft/publish + section + excerpt in the
editor, and a Manage sections modal
Verified end-to-end against MariaDB 11: migration clean, XSS neutralized,
drafts hidden, client builds, server boots.
