### TIER 2: IMPORTANT (Read-Only) - ✅ SAFE

These endpoints only read from database and return data. No direct user input risk, but should validate GET parameters if using any.

#### ✅ `api/personnel.php`
- **Method:** GET
- **Purpose:** Retrieve all personnel records
- **User Inputs:** None
- **Security Status:** ✅ Safe (read-only)
- **Recommendation:** Add optional `?id=123` parameter validation if needed

#### ✅ `api/ppe.php`
- **Method:** GET
- **Purpose:** Retrieve all PPE inventory records
- **User Inputs:** None
- **Security Status:** ✅ Safe (read-only)
- **Recommendation:** Add pagination to limit data transfer

#### ✅ `api/login_users.php`
- **Method:** GET
- **Purpose:** Retrieve all login users
- **User Inputs:** None
- **Security Status:** ✅ Safe (read-only)
- **⚠️ WARNING:** Should NOT return passwords - verify implementation

#### ✅ `api/login.php`
- **Method:** POST
- **Purpose:** Authenticate user with username + password
- **User Inputs:** username, password
- **Security Status:** ✅ Uses `password_verify()` for comparison
- **⚠️ TODO:** Add rate limiting to prevent brute force
- **Recommendation:** Limit to 5 attempts per minute per IP

#### ✅ `api/masters.php`
- **Method:** GET/POST
- **Purpose:** Retrieve or manage master data (warehouses, stock adjustments)
- **User Inputs:** Depends on method
- **Security Status:** 🟡 Needs review - check if POST inputs are sanitized

---

### TIER 3: SECONDARY (Delete Operations) - 🟡 NEEDS REVIEW

These endpoints delete data. Security depends on:
1. Validation that the user owns/can delete the record
2. No unintended SQL injection

#### 🟡 `api/delete_personnel.php`
- **Method:** POST
- **Purpose:** Delete personnel records
- **User Input:** id (record to delete)
- **Security Status:** 🟡 Review implementation
- **Recommendation:** 
  - Verify `$_POST['id']` is integer with `getSafeInt()`
  - Add access control: only delete if user is admin
  - Add soft-delete flag instead of hard delete (for audit trails)

#### 🟡 `api/delete_ppe.php`
- **Method:** POST
- **Purpose:** Delete PPE inventory records
- **User Input:** id (record to delete)
- **Security Status:** 🟡 Review implementation
- **Recommendation:** Same as delete_personnel.php

#### 🟡 `api/delete_login_user.php`
- **Method:** POST
- **Purpose:** Delete login user accounts
- **User Input:** id (user to delete)
- **Security Status:** 🟡 CRITICAL - Review implementation
- **Recommendation:**
  - Verify user has admin permissions
  - Prevent deleting own account
  - Add audit log entry
  - Consider deactivation instead of deletion

---

### TIER 4: COMPLEX (Multiple Operations) - 🟡 NEEDS REVIEW

These endpoints handle multiple operations or complex logic.

#### 🟡 `api/suppliers.php`
- **Purpose:** Manage supplier data
- **Security Status:** 🟡 Needs review
- **Check For:**
  - Are supplier names/locations sanitized? (XSS risk)
  - Are phone numbers validated?
  - Is user input escaped before database insertion?
- **Recommendation:** Apply same pattern as add_personnel.php (use getSafeString())

#### 🟡 `api/ppe_issuance.php`
- **Purpose:** Record PPE issuance to personnel
- **Security Status:** 🟡 Needs review
- **Check For:**
  - Are employee names sanitized?
  - Is quantity validated as integer?
  - Any free-text fields that could contain scripts?
- **Recommendation:** Use `getSafeString()` and `getSafeInt()` for all inputs

#### 🟡 `api/requests.php`
- **Purpose:** Handle PPE requests/requisitions
- **Security Status:** 🟡 Needs review
- **Check For:**
  - Is requester_name sanitized?
  - Are request notes escaped?
  - Is quantity validated?
- **Recommendation:** Apply sanitization pattern

#### 🟡 `api/competence.php`
- **Purpose:** Manage employee competence/training records
- **Security Status:** 🟡 Needs review
- **Check For:**
  - Are employee names sanitized?
  - Are training fields escaped?
  - Are dates validated?
- **Recommendation:** Apply sanitization pattern

### Phase 3: 🟡 POST-DEPLOYMENT (OPTIONAL)
- [ ] Implement CSRF token validation on all POST endpoints
- [ ] Add session timeout (30 min inactivity)
- [ ] Add audit logging for all data changes
- [ ] Implement role-based access control (RBAC)
- [ ] Add 2FA for admin accounts

## Code Pattern Reference

All endpoints should follow this pattern:

```php
<?php
header('Content-Type: application/json');
require_once __DIR__ . '/../config/database.php';
require_once __DIR__ . '/../config/security.php';

// Get sanitized inputs
$field1 = getSafeString('field_name');
$field2 = getSafeInt('numeric_field');
$field3 = getSafeString('optional_field', 'default_value');

// Validate required fields
if (!$field1 || !$field2) {
    returnError('Required fields missing');
}

// Prepare and execute query
$stmt = $mysqli->prepare("INSERT INTO table_name (field1, field2) VALUES (?, ?)");
$stmt->bind_param("si", $field1, $field2);

if ($stmt->execute()) {
    returnSuccess(['id' => $mysqli->insert_id]);
} else {
    returnError('Database error: ' . $stmt->error);
}
?>
```

## Security Testing Checklist

Before deployment, test each endpoint:

```javascript
// Test 1: XSS Prevention
POST to api/add_personnel.php with:
name: "<img src=x onerror=alert('xss')>"

Expected: Database contains escaped version
&lt;img src=x onerror=alert(&#039;xss&#039;)&gt;

// Test 2: SQL Injection
POST to api/add_personnel.php with:
name: "'; DROP TABLE personnel; --"

Expected: Database safely escaped, table not dropped

// Test 3: Integer Validation
POST to api/add_ppe.php with:
quantity: "not_a_number"

Expected: Converted to 0 or validated error

// Test 4: Required Field Validation
POST to api/add_personnel.php with:
name: "" (empty)

Expected: Returns error "Required fields missing"
```

## Critical Next Steps

1. **Before uploading to cPanel:**
   - [ ] Test all Phase 1 endpoints locally
   - [ ] Test XSS prevention with malicious input
   - [ ] Verify data sanitization in database

2. **After deploying to cPanel:**
   - [ ] Monitor error logs for any PHP warnings
   - [ ] Test form submissions from live site
   - [ ] Verify data persistence in database
   - [ ] Run Phase 2 security hardening

3. **For Production Readiness:**
   - [ ] Complete all Phase 2 items
   - [ ] Set up backup automation
   - [ ] Configure monitoring/alerting
   - [ ] Document API for team

## Questions or Issues?

If an endpoint is not working:

1. Check if it has `require_once __DIR__ . '/../config/database.php'`
2. Verify it has `require_once __DIR__ . '/../config/security.php'` (if it accepts POST)
3. Look at input handling - should use `getSafeString()` or `getSafeInt()`
4. Check PHP error logs in cPanel

**All endpoints follow the same security pattern - if one works, others will too!**
