Findings from the 2026-06-24 security review, now mandatory before this
platform leaves the LAN for a public VPS (see budget/externalization note):
- Timing attack on admin password: hmac.compare_digest instead of !=
- CORS wildcard removed, restricted to ALLOWED_ORIGINS (needed for credentials)
- hCaptcha now fails closed on network error instead of open
- HMAC signatures use the full SHA-256 digest instead of a 64-bit truncation
- Consultation-scoped submissions were missing the consent/cooldown checks
the global submission route already had
- Admin search capped at 200 chars (ILIKE cost)
- Webhook URLs validated against SSRF (private/loopback/link-local/metadata
IPs rejected, re-checked at trigger time too, redirects not followed)
- Flood tracker backed by Redis when REDIS_URL is set (shared across Gunicorn
workers, survives restarts), falls back to in-memory otherwise
- Admin session moved from sessionStorage/Bearer token to an httpOnly+Secure+
SameSite=Strict cookie; new /api/admin/logout and /api/admin/session routes
Also found while wiring ProxyFix for the cookie's Secure flag: the app never
told Flask about the Nginx reverse proxy, so request.remote_addr saw Nginx's
own IP for every request in production — silently breaking rate limiting,
flood detection, and IP blacklist (everyone would collapse onto one shared
key). Added ProxyFix (1 hop).
CSV exports now stream instead of loading everything into memory. AI prompts
delimit citizen-submitted content explicitly and instruct the model to treat
it as inert data, never instructions, to reduce prompt injection surface.
Docs (DEX.md, SECURITE_ANTI_ABUS.md, README.md, DEPLOIEMENT.md) and
dev-local.sh updated to match.
- home.tsx: add SynthesisText component — detects "Sur X : / Concernant X :"
thematic prefixes and renders them in serif/teal, replaces raw whitespace-pre-line
- home.tsx: redesign client-side PDF — site color palette (#F9F7F1, #1b5f6a),
Georgia serif typography, thematic prefix highlighting, tricolor stripe
- app.py: redesign consultation print export — same visual identity, server-side
paragraph parsing with theme span injection before HTML-escaping
- transparence.tsx: rewrite priority explanation to be explicit about what
"critique/haute/moyenne" means in practice (injection vs monitoring, why)

Nav: "Fonctionnement" and "Flyer QR" restored on mobile via a ···
overflow dropdown (click-outside closes); other links always visible
Law check: new POST /api/check-law endpoint (5/min, 20/h) calls
mistral-small with a new LAW_CHECK_PROMPT to detect if a proposal is
already covered by French or EU law. Informational only, non-blocking.
Frontend: "Vérifier le cadre légal existant" button below textarea in
home.tsx; result displayed with Scale icon; resets on content change.
Favicon: replaced placeholder red square with a petrol rounded square
containing a serif "V" (for Voix) in warm cream — matches brand palette

Persistence: PostgreSQL table ip_abuse (ip_hash SHA-256, rejection_count,
timestamps, last_idea_id, blacklisted_at, expires_at). No raw IP stored.
Logic:
- First illegal contribution: recorded, tolerated (benefit of the doubt)
- Second illegal contribution: 30-day block (IP_BLACKLIST_DAYS, configurable)
- Counter is cumulative — valid contributions do not reset it
- Block check fires before all other validations in both submit routes
Backend:
- database.py: check_ip_blacklist, record_ip_rejection, get_ip_blacklist,
remove_ip_blacklist; ip_abuse table created in init_db()
- app.py: _get_ip_hash() helper; blacklist check + record in submit_idea()
and submit_consultation_idea(); admin routes GET/DELETE /api/admin/ip-blacklist
Admin panel: new "Blacklist" tab showing active entries with hash, rejection
count, trigger idea id, dates; "Lever" button for manual removal
Docs:
- SECURITE_ANTI_ABUS.md: section 8 describing the mechanism, RGPD basis,
limits, and IP_BLACKLIST_DAYS env var
- privacy-policy.tsx: IP row updated to reflect hash storage + legal basis

Backend (app.py / database.py / ai_agent.py):
- [Critique] Autoclose loop: add pg_try_advisory_lock so only one Gunicorn
worker runs the check per 60s cycle; add random startup jitter
- [Critique] admin_delete_idea: pass consultation_id to
_update_synthesis_background so the right synthesis is regenerated
- [Majeur] admin_login: return HMAC-signed session token instead of raw
ADMIN_SECRET; require_admin verifies the signature (TTL 8h)
- [Majeur] bulk_delete: replace str.isdigit() (Unicode-unsafe) with
try/except int() to prevent crash on Unicode digit characters
- [Majeur] create_consultation: force UTC timezone on naive datetime from
fromisoformat() to prevent TypeError when comparing with UTC-aware now()
- [Majeur] ai_agent.py: fix 'raw' in dir() -> 'raw' in locals() so the
JSON parse error log actually shows the raw response
- [Mineur] export print: use datetime.now(UTC) instead of datetime.now()
Frontend (React):
- [Majeur] consultation.tsx: show startsAt (not endsAt) for upcoming
consultations; add startsAt variable
- [Majeur] consultations-list.tsx: same fix for the list view
- [Mineur] home.tsx: guard new Date(idea.createdAt) against null
- [Mineur] admin.tsx: check HTTP status in exportCsv XHR before creating
download link; show error toast on non-200

- Require signed _ct cookie (set by POST /api/consent) before accepting any
submission. Direct API calls without a prior consent flow are rejected 403.
- Add _sign_consent_token / _verify_consent_token (HMAC-SHA256, 24h TTL).
- Lower default CONTRIBUTION_COOLDOWN_SECONDS from 3600 to 240 (4 min).

init_db() was only called inside if __name__ == "__main__", which Gunicorn
never executes. Tables were never created, causing every request to fail.
Move the call to module level so it runs on import, before the autoclose
thread starts.

Adds an admin interface with authentication for manual content deletion and flagging. Implements a flagging system for user contributions and secures the admin panel with a secret token.
