feat(auth): harden authentication against login lockout, breached passwords, and signup abuse (#89) - #99
Merged
zeemscript merged 2 commits intoAug 16, 2026
Conversation
…swords, and signup abuse (Deen-Bridge#89) - Add progressive per-account login lockout (failedLoginAttempts + lockUntil) with env-configurable escalating backoff, generic 429 while locked, and AUTH_ACCOUNT_LOCKED audit emission. - Add HaveIBeenPwned breached-password check (SHA-1 prefix k-anonymity, never transmits the password) at register and password reset; fails open on outage. - Add per-email throttling on /register and /resend-verification (emailAuthLimiter, survives IP rotation, active in test env) plus a pluggable captcha gate (no-op when unconfigured). - Add User lockout fields and document new env vars in .env.example.
WalkthroughAuthentication abuse hardening adds progressive account lockouts, HIBP breached-password checks, normalized-email throttling, optional CAPTCHA verification, audit coverage, environment settings, and integration tests. ChangesAuthentication abuse hardening
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The authentication changes currently contain unresolved risks that can weaken lockout or CAPTCHA protection, allow attackers to create excessive audit writes or exhaust signup quotas, and produce inconsistent throttling responses; the PR is not merge-ready until these issues are addressed.

225-242: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winThis test does not prove the backoff escalates.
Line 241 asserts only that
lockUntilis in the future. That assertion also passes when the lock uses the base duration, so the test cannot tell escalating backoff apart from a fixed one-minute lock. The exponent inlockoutDurationMsand theLOGIN_LOCKOUT_MAX_MScap are both currently unverified.The linked issue lists lockout timing as a verification target, so it is worth closing this gap.

Reject invalid lockout configuration at startup.
parseInt(...) || default accepts negative integers. If either lockout duration is negative, lockUntil is in the past and the account does not remain locked. Validate each configured value as a positive safe integer before the application accepts requests.
This prevents a deployment configuration error from disabling brute-force protection.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Do not write an audit record for every blocked request.
The lock-creation path already records AUTH_ACCOUNT_LOCKED. This branch records another audit event for every request while the account remains locked. An attacker who knows an email can create unbounded asynchronous database writes after triggering a lock.
Keep the audit event when the lock is created. Remove this per-request audit write or rate-limit it.

Make lockout and reset state transitions mutually atomic.
The $inc is atomic, but the later updateOne for lockUntil and the successful-login user.save() are separate writes. A failed request can increment to the threshold while a successful request saves its stale document. Depending on write order, the successful login can clear a new lock, or the failed request can lock the account after a successful login.
Use conditional atomic updates with optimistic concurrency or a transaction for both the failure transition and the successful reset. Do not persist the stale user document for these fields. Add a parallel correct-password and incorrect-password test.

Return data from the email limiter response.
When emailAuthLimiter rejects a request, its shared makeLimiter handler returns success and message but omits data. The new /register and /resend-verification 429 paths then break the required response shape. Add data: null in the shared handler.
Proposed fix
res.status(429).json({
success: false,
message: "Too many requests, please try again later.",
+ data: null,
});As per path instructions, new or changed endpoints need consistent response shapes ({ success, message, data }).

Run captchaGate() before emailAuthLimiter.
When CAPTCHA is configured, an attacker can submit invalid CAPTCHA tokens for a target email. emailAuthLimiter counts those requests before captchaGate() rejects them. The attacker can exhaust the target email quota and block a legitimate registration or verification resend.
Place captchaGate() before emailAuthLimiter on both routes.

Axios 1.x timeout configuration negative value behavior source xhr adapter Node adapter
💡 Result:
In Axios 1.x, the behavior regarding negative timeout configuration values has been addressed to prevent application crashes and confusing errors [1][2]. Historically, passing a negative value to the timeout configuration could cause the underlying adapters (the XHR adapter in browsers or the HTTP adapter in Node.js) to interact with low-level platform APIs in an unexpected manner, frequently resulting in cryptic system-level errors (such as RangeErrors in Node.js) [1][3][2]. Recent updates to Axios 1.x have introduced validation to explicitly handle this: 1. Early Validation: Validation logic was added to the request dispatch process to ensure that the timeout configuration option is a non-negative, finite number [1][3][2]. 2. Error Handling: If a negative value (or other invalid values such as NaN, Infinity, or non-numeric types) is provided, Axios now throws a clear AxiosError (typically with an ERR_BAD_OPTION_VALUE code) before the request is even passed to the adapter [1][3][2]. 3. Consistent Behavior: This validation is centralized in the request dispatch phase, ensuring that the behavior is consistent across all built-in adapters, including the Node.js (http) adapter and the browser (xhr) adapter [1][3]. If you are encountering unexpected behavior with negative timeouts, ensure you are using a recent version of Axios that includes these validation fixes (e.g., version 1.13.5 or later) [1].

Validate CAPTCHA_TIMEOUT_MS as a positive safe integer.
When CAPTCHA_TIMEOUT_MS=-1, parseInt(...) || 5000 produces -1 and passes it to Axios. Axios forwards this invalid value to its adapter. Adapter errors are caught by verifyCaptcha, which returns true, so the invalid configuration can bypass CAPTCHA verification. Use the default timeout, or fail startup, when the value is not a finite positive safe integer.
Proposed fix
-const CAPTCHA_TIMEOUT_MS =
- parseInt(process.env.CAPTCHA_TIMEOUT_MS, 10) || 5000;
+const configuredTimeout = Number(process.env.CAPTCHA_TIMEOUT_MS);
+const CAPTCHA_TIMEOUT_MS =
+ Number.isSafeInteger(configuredTimeout) && configuredTimeout > 0
+ ? configuredTimeout

Scope the TTL index to status: "pending" via partialFilterExpression, make the expiresAt default conditional on status, add a pre-save hook that clears expiresAt for any terminal state, explicitly unset expiresAt on every terminal transition (submit, donation, refund, dispute, cancel, job handler, reconciliation promotion), and add an idempotent migration that rescues legacy non-pending rows and rebuilds the index.

The sender creates an on-ledger USDC balance the recipient claims when ready, with a sender reclaim-after-expiry predicate so funds are never stranded. Includes a GiftClaim model (no document-deleting TTL, so the record survives expiry for reclaim), a claimableBalanceService (build create/claim transactions with complementary predicates, resolve the REAL balance id from the create result XDR — not the tx hash — with a Horizon forClaimant fallback, and validate the signed gift XDR before any state change), gift routes/controller at /api/stellar/gifts, and granting item access to the RECIPIENT (never the payer) on claim. Wires a `{ fallback: "claimable_balance" }` response into the purchase flow when a creator wallet/trustline is missing. Tests cover predicate decoding, trustline-free single-signature claiming, claim authorization before/after expiry, the balance-id-vs-tx-hash distinction, tampered-XDR rejection, guards mirroring initializePayment, and the recipient access grant. * feat(stellar): add idempotency protection to the Stellar payment endpoints (#115) Makes /api/stellar/payment/initialize and /submit safe against double-clicks, client retries, and concurrent duplicates. Submit is naturally idempotent per transaction hash: the deterministic hash of the signed XDR is looked up against confirmed transactions before any processing, so a replayed submission returns the original success response without re-granting access, with the unique index on stellarTxHash as the database-level backstop (an E11000 on the confirm save is treated as already processed). Initialize no longer piles up duplicates: a pending checkout for the same user+item returns the existing record (with its persisted unsigned XDR) instead of creating a new document, and stale pending records are reaped by the existing pending-only TTL index. Adds a stricter per-user rate limiter (paymentLimiter) on the payment routes, keyed on the authenticated user id with an IPv6-aware IP fallback. Covers duplicate-submit, duplicate-initialize, the E11000 race, and limiter enforcement with tests. * feat(stellar): validate Stellar config at startup and document the mainnet switch (#114) Adds a single source of truth for the Stellar network configuration (src/config/stellar.js) that resolves the network name, network passphrase, Horizon URLs, and USDC issuer from STELLAR_NETWORK, and validates the whole setup fail-fast at boot so a misconfigured deployment (bad network value, mainnet flag with testnet Horizon or issuer) fails with an error naming the exact problem instead of at request time. stellarService.js and horizonClient.js now consume this module. Adds docs/MAINNET.md covering the env changes, creator trustlines, and a first-mainnet-transaction smoke checklist, plus unit tests for resolution and validation across both networks. * feat(stellar): fee-bump sponsorship with structural whitelist and spend caps (#111) Let the platform pay a user's Stellar network fee by wrapping the user-signed transaction in a fee-bump signed by a dedicated fee-source account, so a user holding USDC but ~no XLM can buy a book, buy a course, or donate. Opt-in per submit via `requestSponsorship: true`; off by default and byte-for-byte identical when disabled. Guard rails (server signs on the platform's behalf): - Structural whitelist (reject-by-default, allow-list of `payment` ops only): source, exact op count/order, destinations, amounts (stroops), asset, and memo must match the pending Transaction row exactly. Any foreign/extra operation — including unknown future types — is rejected. - Durable spend caps (SponsorshipSpend, keyed by UTC day): per-transaction fee ceiling, per-day total, and per-user per-day count. - Sponsor float pre-check so an underfunded sponsor never marks the user's transaction failed. Fee-bump fee is priced over inner ops + wrapper and clamped to the ceiling (verified against @stellar/stellar-sdk v16 and asserted in tests). Sponsored rows record `sponsored`, `sponsorFeeCharged`, and the fee-bump (outer) hash alongside the inner hash. Sponsorship-specific failures return a distinct non-fatal 4xx/503 with `retryUnsponsored: true` and never mark the row failed. - Config: FEE_SPONSOR_* in .env.example + validateEnv (fail-fast at boot when enabled with a missing/invalid secret); secret never logged or returned. - Admin status endpoint GET /api/stellar/payment/sponsorship/status exposes the sponsor public key, live float, caps, and today's spend. - Prometheus counters for approved/rejected sponsorship decisions. - Docs: docs/fee-sponsorship.md, README, and openapi.yaml. - Tests: feeSponsorService (whitelist adversarial matrix, fee correctness, inner-untouched, caps, secret handling, boot config) and feeSponsorSubmit (payment + donation flag-off regression, flag-on sponsorship, cap/whitelist rejections that don't fail the row).

The sender creates an on-ledger USDC balance the recipient claims when ready, with a sender reclaim-after-expiry predicate so funds are never stranded. Includes a GiftClaim model (no document-deleting TTL, so the record survives expiry for reclaim), a claimableBalanceService (build create/claim transactions with complementary predicates, resolve the REAL balance id from the create result XDR — not the tx hash — with a Horizon forClaimant fallback, and validate the signed gift XDR before any state change), gift routes/controller at /api/stellar/gifts, and granting item access to the RECIPIENT (never the payer) on claim. Wires a `{ fallback: "claimable_balance" }` response into the purchase flow when a creator wallet/trustline is missing. Tests cover predicate decoding, trustline-free single-signature claiming, claim authorization before/after expiry, the balance-id-vs-tx-hash distinction, tampered-XDR rejection, guards mirroring initializePayment, and the recipient access grant. * feat(stellar): add idempotency protection to the Stellar payment endpoints (#115) Makes /api/stellar/payment/initialize and /submit safe against double-clicks, client retries, and concurrent duplicates. Submit is naturally idempotent per transaction hash: the deterministic hash of the signed XDR is looked up against confirmed transactions before any processing, so a replayed submission returns the original success response without re-granting access, with the unique index on stellarTxHash as the database-level backstop (an E11000 on the confirm save is treated as already processed). Initialize no longer piles up duplicates: a pending checkout for the same user+item returns the existing record (with its persisted unsigned XDR) instead of creating a new document, and stale pending records are reaped by the existing pending-only TTL index. Adds a stricter per-user rate limiter (paymentLimiter) on the payment routes, keyed on the authenticated user id with an IPv6-aware IP fallback. Covers duplicate-submit, duplicate-initialize, the E11000 race, and limiter enforcement with tests. * feat(stellar): validate Stellar config at startup and document the mainnet switch (#114) Adds a single source of truth for the Stellar network configuration (src/config/stellar.js) that resolves the network name, network passphrase, Horizon URLs, and USDC issuer from STELLAR_NETWORK, and validates the whole setup fail-fast at boot so a misconfigured deployment (bad network value, mainnet flag with testnet Horizon or issuer) fails with an error naming the exact problem instead of at request time. stellarService.js and horizonClient.js now consume this module. Adds docs/MAINNET.md covering the env changes, creator trustlines, and a first-mainnet-transaction smoke checklist, plus unit tests for resolution and validation across both networks. * feat(stellar): fee-bump sponsorship with structural whitelist and spend caps (#111) Let the platform pay a user's Stellar network fee by wrapping the user-signed transaction in a fee-bump signed by a dedicated fee-source account, so a user holding USDC but ~no XLM can buy a book, buy a course, or donate. Opt-in per submit via `requestSponsorship: true`; off by default and byte-for-byte identical when disabled. Guard rails (server signs on the platform's behalf): - Structural whitelist (reject-by-default, allow-list of `payment` ops only): source, exact op count/order, destinations, amounts (stroops), asset, and memo must match the pending Transaction row exactly. Any foreign/extra operation — including unknown future types — is rejected. - Durable spend caps (SponsorshipSpend, keyed by UTC day): per-transaction fee ceiling, per-day total, and per-user per-day count. - Sponsor float pre-check so an underfunded sponsor never marks the user's transaction failed. Fee-bump fee is priced over inner ops + wrapper and clamped to the ceiling (verified against @stellar/stellar-sdk v16 and asserted in tests). Sponsored rows record `sponsored`, `sponsorFeeCharged`, and the fee-bump (outer) hash alongside the inner hash. Sponsorship-specific failures return a distinct non-fatal 4xx/503 with `retryUnsponsored: true` and never mark the row failed. - Config: FEE_SPONSOR_* in .env.example + validateEnv (fail-fast at boot when enabled with a missing/invalid secret); secret never logged or returned. - Admin status endpoint GET /api/stellar/payment/sponsorship/status exposes the sponsor public key, live float, caps, and today's spend. - Prometheus counters for approved/rejected sponsorship decisions. - Docs: docs/fee-sponsorship.md, README, and openapi.yaml. - Tests: feeSponsorService (whitelist adversarial matrix, fee correctness, inner-untouched, caps, secret handling, boot config) and feeSponsorSubmit (payment + donation flag-off regression, flag-on sponsorship, cap/whitelist rejections that don't fail the row).

Remove the body from every log statement (log only recipient, subject, and template id via structured fields), and give tests a sanctioned in-memory outbox hook instead of log scraping. sendOtpEmail/sendVerificationEmail/ sendReceiptEmail now return the sendMail result so callers can capture it. Closes #95 * fix(transactions): prevent TTL index from deleting confirmed purchases and donations (#103) The Transaction collection used a blanket TTL index on expiresAt with a schema default that stamped a 30-minute expiry on every row regardless of status. Because confirm paths never cleared expiresAt, confirmed on-chain purchases and donations were permanently reaped ~30 minutes after creation, deleting the proof of payment and orphaning recorded earnings. Scope the TTL index to status: "pending" via partialFilterExpression, make the expiresAt default conditional on status, add a pre-save hook that clears expiresAt for any terminal state, explicitly unset expiresAt on every terminal transition (submit, donation, refund, dispute, cancel, job handler, reconciliation promotion), and add an idempotent migration that rescues legacy non-pending rows and rebuilds the index.

The sender creates an on-ledger USDC balance the recipient claims when ready, with a sender reclaim-after-expiry predicate so funds are never stranded. Includes a GiftClaim model (no document-deleting TTL, so the record survives expiry for reclaim), a claimableBalanceService (build create/claim transactions with complementary predicates, resolve the REAL balance id from the create result XDR — not the tx hash — with a Horizon forClaimant fallback, and validate the signed gift XDR before any state change), gift routes/controller at /api/stellar/gifts, and granting item access to the RECIPIENT (never the payer) on claim. Wires a `{ fallback: "claimable_balance" }` response into the purchase flow when a creator wallet/trustline is missing. Tests cover predicate decoding, trustline-free single-signature claiming, claim authorization before/after expiry, the balance-id-vs-tx-hash distinction, tampered-XDR rejection, guards mirroring initializePayment, and the recipient access grant. * feat(stellar): add idempotency protection to the Stellar payment endpoints (#115) Makes /api/stellar/payment/initialize and /submit safe against double-clicks, client retries, and concurrent duplicates. Submit is naturally idempotent per transaction hash: the deterministic hash of the signed XDR is looked up against confirmed transactions before any processing, so a replayed submission returns the original success response without re-granting access, with the unique index on stellarTxHash as the database-level backstop (an E11000 on the confirm save is treated as already processed). Initialize no longer piles up duplicates: a pending checkout for the same user+item returns the existing record (with its persisted unsigned XDR) instead of creating a new document, and stale pending records are reaped by the existing pending-only TTL index. Adds a stricter per-user rate limiter (paymentLimiter) on the payment routes, keyed on the authenticated user id with an IPv6-aware IP fallback. Covers duplicate-submit, duplicate-initialize, the E11000 race, and limiter enforcement with tests. * feat(stellar): validate Stellar config at startup and document the mainnet switch (#114) Adds a single source of truth for the Stellar network configuration (src/config/stellar.js) that resolves the network name, network passphrase, Horizon URLs, and USDC issuer from STELLAR_NETWORK, and validates the whole setup fail-fast at boot so a misconfigured deployment (bad network value, mainnet flag with testnet Horizon or issuer) fails with an error naming the exact problem instead of at request time. stellarService.js and horizonClient.js now consume this module. Adds docs/MAINNET.md covering the env changes, creator trustlines, and a first-mainnet-transaction smoke checklist, plus unit tests for resolution and validation across both networks. * feat(stellar): fee-bump sponsorship with structural whitelist and spend caps (#111) Let the platform pay a user's Stellar network fee by wrapping the user-signed transaction in a fee-bump signed by a dedicated fee-source account, so a user holding USDC but ~no XLM can buy a book, buy a course, or donate. Opt-in per submit via `requestSponsorship: true`; off by default and byte-for-byte identical when disabled. Guard rails (server signs on the platform's behalf): - Structural whitelist (reject-by-default, allow-list of `payment` ops only): source, exact op count/order, destinations, amounts (stroops), asset, and memo must match the pending Transaction row exactly. Any foreign/extra operation — including unknown future types — is rejected. - Durable spend caps (SponsorshipSpend, keyed by UTC day): per-transaction fee ceiling, per-day total, and per-user per-day count. - Sponsor float pre-check so an underfunded sponsor never marks the user's transaction failed. Fee-bump fee is priced over inner ops + wrapper and clamped to the ceiling (verified against @stellar/stellar-sdk v16 and asserted in tests). Sponsored rows record `sponsored`, `sponsorFeeCharged`, and the fee-bump (outer) hash alongside the inner hash. Sponsorship-specific failures return a distinct non-fatal 4xx/503 with `retryUnsponsored: true` and never mark the row failed. - Config: FEE_SPONSOR_* in .env.example + validateEnv (fail-fast at boot when enabled with a missing/invalid secret); secret never logged or returned. - Admin status endpoint GET /api/stellar/payment/sponsorship/status exposes the sponsor public key, live float, caps, and today's spend. - Prometheus counters for approved/rejected sponsorship decisions. - Docs: docs/fee-sponsorship.md, README, and openapi.yaml. - Tests: feeSponsorService (whitelist adversarial matrix, fee correctness, inner-untouched, caps, secret handling, boot config) and feeSponsorSubmit (payment + donation flag-off regression, flag-on sponsorship, cap/whitelist rejections that don't fail the row).

Remove the body from every log statement (log only recipient, subject, and template id via structured fields), and give tests a sanctioned in-memory outbox hook instead of log scraping. sendOtpEmail/sendVerificationEmail/ sendReceiptEmail now return the sendMail result so callers can capture it. Closes #95 * fix(transactions): prevent TTL index from deleting confirmed purchases and donations (#103) The Transaction collection used a blanket TTL index on expiresAt with a schema default that stamped a 30-minute expiry on every row regardless of status. Because confirm paths never cleared expiresAt, confirmed on-chain purchases and donations were permanently reaped ~30 minutes after creation, deleting the proof of payment and orphaning recorded earnings. Scope the TTL index to status: "pending" via partialFilterExpression, make the expiresAt default conditional on status, add a pre-save hook that clears expiresAt for any terminal state, explicitly unset expiresAt on every terminal transition (submit, donation, refund, dispute, cancel, job handler, reconciliation promotion), and add an idempotent migration that rescues legacy non-pending rows and rebuilds the index. Closes #94 * feat(security): implement educator verification pipeline and content-creation gating (#92) (#102) * feat(security): implement educator verification pipeline and content-creation gating (#92) - Add EducatorVerification model with legal state-machine transitions (draft -> pending -> approved/rejected, resubmit from rejected) - Add verifiedEducator durable flag on User, set atomically on approval - Add AUDIT_ACTIONS: EDUCATOR_VERIFY_SUBMIT/_RESUBMIT/_APPROVE/_REJECT with metadata allowlist entries in auditService - requireVerifiedEducator middleware (403 for unverified, admin bypass) - Applicant API: submit/resubmit app, get own app, signed doc URLs, signed Cloudinary upload-signature for private credential uploads - Admin review queue: list+filter pending, view signed docs, approve/reject with notes (Mongo transaction for verifiedEducator grant) - Gate all content-creation routes: * POST /api/courses (courseRoutes.js) * POST /api/books (bookRoutes.js) * POST /api/spaces (spaceRoutes.js — live sessions per issue) - Wire routes: /api/educator-verification + /api/admin/educator-verification - Comprehensive test suite in test/educatorVerification.test.js (state-machine, middleware gating, submit/resubmit, approve/reject, content 403/2xx, both full lifecycles submit->pending->approve and reject->resubmit->approve, signed URL security, admin-only gating, audit log instrumentation) Verification Results: app.test.js: 22/22 PASS (CI boot + endpoint health) auditLog.test.js: 21/21 PASS (append-only, redaction, admin gate) Closes #92 * fix(ci): resolve educator verification pipeline test failures - Remove redundant catchAsync double-wrap in educator-verification routes (controllers are already pre-wrapped; the outer wrap called .catch() on undefined, returning 500 for every new endpoint) - Use MongoMemoryReplSet in educatorVerification.test.js so the approve/reject MongoDB transaction can run (standalone MongoMemoryServer cannot) - Use AuditLog.collection.deleteMany in test cleanup to bypass append-only pre-hooks - Return recordAudit's promise so callers can await durability; await it in submitApplication and performReview to eliminate the fire-and-forget audit-race in tests - Fix testAuth.js password overwrite: destructure password out of the override spread so the hashed value is not clobbered by plaintext - Seed bookUpload test user as a verifiedEducator mentor so the new content gate lets it through --------- Co-authored-by: abimbolaalabi <abimbolaalabi@users.noreply.github.com> * feat(auth): signed service-to-service authentication for the AI service (#91) (#106) Give the backend a real machine-to-machine auth channel for the AI service (dnb-ai) — signed, scoped, rotatable keys instead of a single static shared secret. - add requireServiceAuth middleware (src/middlewares/serviceAuth.js): HMAC-SHA256 over a canonical method/path/timestamp/body-digest string, a ±300s replay window, constant-time signature comparison, per-key scope enforcement, and req.service on success - key store (src/config/serviceKeys.js): multiple active keys keyed by kid for zero-downtime rotation;

* feat(stellar): publish Soroban giving-escrow contract id in stellar.toml
Adds env-driven GIVING_ESCROW_CONTRACT (custom, non-SEP-1) so the deployed
On-Chain Giving escrow is discoverable from /.well-known/stellar.toml. Set
GIVING_ESCROW_CONTRACT_ID to enable. Includes test coverage.
* fix(stellar): resolve Horizon endpoints lazily + network-aware default
Horizon client was constructed at import time with a hardcoded testnet
fallback, so a mainnet deploy with HORIZON_URLS unset would silently talk to
testnet Horizon. Now the default is derived from STELLAR_NETWORK and the client

Add a centralized authorization layer that verifies the authenticated
user owns the target resource (or is an admin) before any mutating

* fix(security): stop logging OTP codes and verification tokens in email bodies (#104)
The NODE_ENV === "test" branch of sendMail logged the full rendered email
body — including the password-reset OTP span and the verification link's
token query param — and pino's redact config cannot censor values baked
into interpolated strings, so the leak bypassed the app-wide redaction.
Remove the body from every log statement (log only recipient, subject, and
template id via structured fields), and give tests a sanctioned in-memory
outbox hook instead of log scraping. sendOtpEmail/sendVerificationEmail/
sendReceiptEmail now return the sendMail result so callers can capture it.
Closes #95
* fix(transactions): prevent TTL index from deleting confirmed purchases and donations (#103)
The Transaction collection used a blanket TTL index on expiresAt with a
schema default that stamped a 30-minute expiry on every row regardless of
status. Because confirm paths never cleared expiresAt, confirmed on-chain
purchases and donations were permanently reaped ~30 minutes after creation,
deleting the proof of payment and orphaning recorded earnings.
Scope the TTL index to status: "pending" via partialFilterExpression, make
the expiresAt default conditional on status, add a pre-save hook that clears
expiresAt for any terminal state, explicitly unset expiresAt on every
terminal transition (submit, donation, refund, dispute, cancel, job handler,
reconciliation promotion), and add an idempotent migration that rescues
legacy non-pending rows and rebuilds the index.

* feat(auth): signed service-to-service authentication for the AI service (#91) (#106)
Give the backend a real machine-to-machine auth channel for the AI
service (dnb-ai) — signed, scoped, rotatable keys instead of a single
static shared secret.
- add requireServiceAuth middleware (src/middlewares/serviceAuth.js):
HMAC-SHA256 over a canonical method/path/timestamp/body-digest string,
a ±300s replay window, constant-time signature comparison, per-key
scope enforcement, and req.service on success
- key store (src/config/serviceKeys.js): multiple active keys keyed by
kid for zero-downtime rotation; resilient env parsing, never throws
- mount a real internal route GET /api/internal/ai/whoami guarded by the
guard (scope ai:read-content), plus raw-body capture in app.js
- migrate /admin/jobs off raw !== to a length-guarded timingSafeEqual
- audit denials (service_auth.denied), require AI_SERVICE_KEYS in prod
(fail-fast), document the signing contract + rotation runbook
- cover the full accept/reject matrix in test/serviceAuth.test.js

* feat(webhooks): signed outbound webhook event system (#45) (#107)
Add an outbound webhook/event system so external consumers can subscribe
to payment and enrollment lifecycle events over HMAC-signed HTTP
callbacks, with retries, dead-lettering, and redelivery.
- models: WebhookEndpoint (encrypted secret at rest, subscribed events,
auto-disable counters) and WebhookDelivery (all scheduling state in the
doc: status, attemptCount, nextAttemptAt indexed)
- webhookService.emitEvent: typed event catalog, per-event id for
consumer idempotency, strict payload allowlist (no secrets/emails/user
docs); persists a delivery per subscribed endpoint after the txn
commits, never blocks or fails the request path, no-ops when the DB is
unavailable
- signing: X-DeenBridge-Signature v1=hmac-sha256(secret, `${ts}.${body}`)
over the exact sent bytes; timing-safe verify + 5-min staleness window
- deliveryWorker: atomic findOneAndUpdate claim (no double-send),
exponential backoff + jitter, dead-letter after max attempts, endpoint
auto-disable after sustained failures
- management API (/api/webhooks, admin-gated): endpoint CRUD, rotate
secret, list deliveries, redeliver (atomic $set), and ping
- SSRF guard: https-only in prod, reject loopback/RFC-1918/link-local
- wire emitters into payment (initialized/confirmed/failed/expired),
enrollment, and wallet connect/disconnect; migrate /admin/jobs to a
timing-safe token compare

* feat(stellar): gift courses/books via claimable balances with expiry reclaim (#116)
Adds a gift-a-course/book flow built on Stellar claimable balances so a
buyer can send an item to another user — including one who has not
finished wallet onboarding — without the recipient needing a USDC
trustline. The sender creates an on-ledger USDC balance the recipient
claims when ready, with a sender reclaim-after-expiry predicate so funds
are never stranded. Includes a GiftClaim model (no document-deleting TTL,
so the record survives expiry for reclaim), a claimableBalanceService
(build create/claim transactions with complementary predicates, resolve
the REAL balance id from the create result XDR — not the tx hash — with
a Horizon forClaimant fallback, and validate the signed gift XDR before
any state change), gift routes/controller at /api/stellar/gifts, and
granting item access to the RECIPIENT (never the payer) on claim. Wires
a `{ fallback: "claimable_balance" }` response into the purchase flow
when a creator wallet/trustline is missing. Tests cover predicate
decoding, trustline-free single-signature claiming, claim authorization
before/after expiry, the balance-id-vs-tx-hash distinction, tampered-XDR
rejection, guards mirroring initializePayment, and the recipient access
grant.
* feat(stellar): add idempotency protection to the Stellar payment endpoints (#115)
Makes /api/stellar/payment/initialize and /submit safe against
double-clicks, client retries, and concurrent duplicates. Submit is
naturally idempotent per transaction hash: the deterministic hash of
the signed XDR is looked up against confirmed transactions before any
processing, so a replayed submission returns the original success
response without re-granting access, with the unique index on
stellarTxHash as the database-level backstop (an E11000 on the confirm
save is treated as already processed). Initialize no longer piles up
duplicates: a pending checkout for the same user+item returns the
existing record (with its persisted unsigned XDR) instead of creating
a new document, and stale pending records are reaped by the existing
pending-only TTL index. Adds a stricter per-user rate limiter
(paymentLimiter) on the payment routes, keyed on the authenticated
user id with an IPv6-aware IP fallback. Covers duplicate-submit,
duplicate-initialize, the E11000 race, and limiter enforcement with
tests.
* feat(stellar): validate Stellar config at startup and document the mainnet switch (#114)
Adds a single source of truth for the Stellar network configuration
(src/config/stellar.js) that resolves the network name, network
passphrase, Horizon URLs, and USDC issuer from STELLAR_NETWORK, and
validates the whole setup fail-fast at boot so a misconfigured
deployment (bad network value, mainnet flag with testnet Horizon or
issuer) fails with an error naming the exact problem instead of at
request time. stellarService.js and horizonClient.js now consume this
module. Adds docs/MAINNET.md covering the env changes, creator
trustlines, and a first-mainnet-transaction smoke checklist, plus unit
tests for resolution and validation across both networks.
* feat(stellar): fee-bump sponsorship with structural whitelist and spend caps (#111)
Let the platform pay a user's Stellar network fee by wrapping the user-signed
transaction in a fee-bump signed by a dedicated fee-source account, so a user
holding USDC but ~no XLM can buy a book, buy a course, or donate. Opt-in per
submit via `requestSponsorship: true`; off by default and byte-for-byte
identical when disabled.
Guard rails (server signs on the platform's behalf):
- Structural whitelist (reject-by-default, allow-list of `payment` ops only):
source, exact op count/order, destinations, amounts (stroops), asset, and
memo must match the pending Transaction row exactly. Any foreign/extra
operation — including unknown future types — is rejected.
- Durable spend caps (SponsorshipSpend, keyed by UTC day): per-transaction fee
ceiling, per-day total, and per-user per-day count.
- Sponsor float pre-check so an underfunded sponsor never marks the user's
transaction failed.
Fee-bump fee is priced over inner ops + wrapper and clamped to the ceiling
(verified against @stellar/stellar-sdk v16 and asserted in tests). Sponsored
rows record `sponsored`, `sponsorFeeCharged`, and the fee-bump (outer) hash
alongside the inner hash. Sponsorship-specific failures return a distinct
non-fatal 4xx/503 with `retryUnsponsored: true` and never mark the row failed.
- Config: FEE_SPONSOR_* in .env.example + validateEnv (fail-fast at boot when
enabled with a missing/invalid secret); secret never logged or returned.
- Admin status endpoint GET /api/stellar/payment/sponsorship/status exposes the
sponsor public key, live float, caps, and today's spend.
- Prometheus counters for approved/rejected sponsorship decisions.
- Docs: docs/fee-sponsorship.md, README, and openapi.yaml.
- Tests: feeSponsorService (whitelist adversarial matrix, fee correctness,
inner-untouched, caps, secret handling, boot config) and feeSponsorSubmit
(payment + donation flag-off regression, flag-on sponsorship, cap/whitelist
rejections that don't fail the row).

* feat(auth): signed service-to-service authentication for the AI service (#91) (#106)
Give the backend a real machine-to-machine auth channel for the AI
service (dnb-ai) — signed, scoped, rotatable keys instead of a single
static shared secret.
- add requireServiceAuth middleware (src/middlewares/serviceAuth.js):
HMAC-SHA256 over a canonical method/path/timestamp/body-digest string,
a ±300s replay window, constant-time signature comparison, per-key
scope enforcement, and req.service on success
- key store (src/config/serviceKeys.js): multiple active keys keyed by
kid for zero-downtime rotation; resilient env parsing, never throws
- mount a real internal route GET /api/internal/ai/whoami guarded by the
guard (scope ai:read-content), plus raw-body capture in app.js
- migrate /admin/jobs off raw !== to a length-guarded timingSafeEqual
- audit denials (service_auth.denied), require AI_SERVICE_KEYS in prod
(fail-fast), document the signing contract + rotation runbook
- cover the full accept/reject matrix in test/serviceAuth.test.js
Closes #91

* feat(webhooks): signed outbound webhook event system (#45) (#107)
Add an outbound webhook/event system so external consumers can subscribe
to payment and enrollment lifecycle events over HMAC-signed HTTP
callbacks, with retries, dead-lettering, and redelivery.
- models: WebhookEndpoint (encrypted secret at rest, subscribed events,
auto-disable counters) and WebhookDelivery (all scheduling state in the
doc: status, attemptCount, nextAttemptAt indexed)
- webhookService.emitEvent: typed event catalog, per-event id for
consumer idempotency, strict payload allowlist (no secrets/emails/user
docs); persists a delivery per subscribed endpoint after the txn
commits, never blocks or fails the request path, no-ops when the DB is
unavailable
- signing: X-DeenBridge-Signature v1=hmac-sha256(secret, `${ts}.${body}`)
over the exact sent bytes; timing-safe verify + 5-min staleness window
- deliveryWorker: atomic findOneAndUpdate claim (no double-send),
exponential backoff + jitter, dead-letter after max attempts, endpoint
auto-disable after sustained failures
- management API (/api/webhooks, admin-gated): endpoint CRUD, rotate
secret, list deliveries, redeliver (atomic $set), and ping
- SSRF guard: https-only in prod, reject loopback/RFC-1918/link-local
- wire emitters into payment (initialized/confirmed/failed/expired),
enrollment, and wallet connect/disconnect; migrate /admin/jobs to a
timing-safe token compare
- docs/webhooks.md consumer verifier + full offline test suite

* feat(stellar): gift courses/books via claimable balances with expiry reclaim (#116)
Adds a gift-a-course/book flow built on Stellar claimable balances so a
buyer can send an item to another user — including one who has not
finished wallet onboarding — without the recipient needing a USDC
trustline. The sender creates an on-ledger USDC balance the recipient
claims when ready, with a sender reclaim-after-expiry predicate so funds
are never stranded. Includes a GiftClaim model (no document-deleting TTL,
so the record survives expiry for reclaim), a claimableBalanceService
(build create/claim transactions with complementary predicates, resolve
the REAL balance id from the create result XDR — not the tx hash — with
a Horizon forClaimant fallback, and validate the signed gift XDR before
any state change), gift routes/controller at /api/stellar/gifts, and
granting item access to the RECIPIENT (never the payer) on claim. Wires
a `{ fallback: "claimable_balance" }` response into the purchase flow
when a creator wallet/trustline is missing. Tests cover predicate
decoding, trustline-free single-signature claiming, claim authorization
before/after expiry, the balance-id-vs-tx-hash distinction, tampered-XDR
rejection, guards mirroring initializePayment, and the recipient access
grant.
* feat(stellar): add idempotency protection to the Stellar payment endpoints (#115)
Makes /api/stellar/payment/initialize and /submit safe against
double-clicks, client retries, and concurrent duplicates. Submit is
naturally idempotent per transaction hash: the deterministic hash of
the signed XDR is looked up against confirmed transactions before any
processing, so a replayed submission returns the original success
response without re-granting access, with the unique index on
stellarTxHash as the database-level backstop (an E11000 on the confirm
save is treated as already processed). Initialize no longer piles up
duplicates: a pending checkout for the same user+item returns the
existing record (with its persisted unsigned XDR) instead of creating
a new document, and stale pending records are reaped by the existing
pending-only TTL index. Adds a stricter per-user rate limiter
(paymentLimiter) on the payment routes, keyed on the authenticated
user id with an IPv6-aware IP fallback. Covers duplicate-submit,
duplicate-initialize, the E11000 race, and limiter enforcement with
tests.
* feat(stellar): validate Stellar config at startup and document the mainnet switch (#114)
Adds a single source of truth for the Stellar network configuration
(src/config/stellar.js) that resolves the network name, network
passphrase, Horizon URLs, and USDC issuer from STELLAR_NETWORK, and
validates the whole setup fail-fast at boot so a misconfigured
deployment (bad network value, mainnet flag with testnet Horizon or
issuer) fails with an error naming the exact problem instead of at
request time. stellarService.js and horizonClient.js now consume this
module. Adds docs/MAINNET.md covering the env changes, creator
trustlines, and a first-mainnet-transaction smoke checklist, plus unit
tests for resolution and validation across both networks.
* feat(stellar): fee-bump sponsorship with structural whitelist and spend caps (#111)
Let the platform pay a user's Stellar network fee by wrapping the user-signed
transaction in a fee-bump signed by a dedicated fee-source account, so a user
holding USDC but ~no XLM can buy a book, buy a course, or donate. Opt-in per
submit via `requestSponsorship: true`; off by default and byte-for-byte
identical when disabled.
Guard rails (server signs on the platform's behalf):
- Structural whitelist (reject-by-default, allow-list of `payment` ops only):
source, exact op count/order, destinations, amounts (stroops), asset, and
memo must match the pending Transaction row exactly. Any foreign/extra
operation — including unknown future types — is rejected.
- Durable spend caps (SponsorshipSpend, keyed by UTC day): per-transaction fee
ceiling, per-day total, and per-user per-day count.
- Sponsor float pre-check so an underfunded sponsor never marks the user's
transaction failed.
Fee-bump fee is priced over inner ops + wrapper and clamped to the ceiling
(verified against @stellar/stellar-sdk v16 and asserted in tests). Sponsored
rows record `sponsored`, `sponsorFeeCharged`, and the fee-bump (outer) hash
alongside the inner hash. Sponsorship-specific failures return a distinct
non-fatal 4xx/503 with `retryUnsponsored: true` and never mark the row failed.
- Config: FEE_SPONSOR_* in .env.example + validateEnv (fail-fast at boot when
enabled with a missing/invalid secret); secret never logged or returned.
- Admin status endpoint GET /api/stellar/payment/sponsorship/status exposes the
sponsor public key, live float, caps, and today's spend.
- Prometheus counters for approved/rejected sponsorship decisions.
- Docs: docs/fee-sponsorship.md, README, and openapi.yaml.
- Tests: feeSponsorService (whitelist adversarial matrix, fee correctness,
inner-untouched, caps, secret handling, boot config) and feeSponsorSubmit
(payment + donation flag-off regression, flag-on sponsorship, cap/whitelist
rejections that don't fail the row).

* feat(auth): harden authentication against login lockout, breached passwords, and signup abuse (#89)
- Add progressive per-account login lockout (failedLoginAttempts + lockUntil) with env-configurable escalating backoff, generic 429 while locked, and AUTH_ACCOUNT_LOCKED audit emission.
- Add HaveIBeenPwned breached-password check (SHA-1 prefix k-anonymity, never transmits the password) at register and password reset; fails open on outage.
- Add per-email throttling on /register and /resend-verification (emailAuthLimiter, survives IP rotation, active in test env) plus a pluggable captcha gate (no-op when unconfigured).
- Add User lockout fields and document new env vars in .env.example.
* fix(auth): address CodeRabbit review on login lockout, HIBP, captcha, and JWT secret (#89)
- loginUser: locked accounts now return the same generic 401 'Invalid credentials'
as a nonexistent account (no enumeration); failed-login counter incremented
atomically via findByIdAndUpdate \, lock persisted via updateOne
- resetPassword: breached-password check moved to after successful OTP validation
so unauthenticated callers cannot trigger HIBP lookups
- authController: refuse to start when JWT_SECRET is missing (no hardcoded fallback)
- hibp: request HIBP padding ('Add-Padding: true') and ignore zero-count records
- captcha: configurable CAPTCHA_TIMEOUT_MS (default 5s) passed to the provider call;
captcha rejection now returns the standard { success, message, data: null } shape
- tests: assert escalating backoff magnitude (120s on 6th failure) and the 24h cap;
locked-account test expects 401; per-email limiter buckets reset between tests;
outage test routed through mockHibp so the shared spy is cleaned up; added

* feat(auth): enforce resource ownership across mutating endpoints (#88) (#105)
Add a centralized authorization layer that verifies the authenticated
user owns the target resource (or is an admin) before any mutating
handler runs, replacing the ad-hoc inline checks scattered across
controllers.
- add authorizeOwnership + authorizeReviewOwnership middleware
(src/middlewares/authorize.js); on success the loaded doc is attached
to req so handlers can reuse it
- apply the guards to book delete, course update, space update/delete,
and review update/delete on books and courses; review create stays
purchase-gated
- record ownership denials to the audit log (authz.ownership.denied)
- remove the now-redundant inline ownership checks from the book,
course, space, and review controllers
- document the resource x action x role matrix (docs/authorization-matrix.md)
and cover it with an integration test suite (test/ownershipAuthz.test.js)

* fix(security): stop logging OTP codes and verification tokens in email bodies (#104)
The NODE_ENV === "test" branch of sendMail logged the full rendered email
body — including the password-reset OTP span and the verification link's
token query param — and pino's redact config cannot censor values baked
into interpolated strings, so the leak bypassed the app-wide redaction.
Remove the body from every log statement (log only recipient, subject, and
template id via structured fields), and give tests a sanctioned in-memory
outbox hook instead of log scraping. sendOtpEmail/sendVerificationEmail/
sendReceiptEmail now return the sendMail result so callers can capture it.
Closes #95
* fix(transactions): prevent TTL index from deleting confirmed purchases and donations (#103)
The Transaction collection used a blanket TTL index on expiresAt with a
schema default that stamped a 30-minute expiry on every row regardless of
status. Because confirm paths never cleared expiresAt, confirmed on-chain
purchases and donations were permanently reaped ~30 minutes after creation,
deleting the proof of payment and orphaning recorded earnings.
Scope the TTL index to status: "pending" via partialFilterExpression, make
the expiresAt default conditional on status, add a pre-save hook that clears
expiresAt for any terminal state, explicitly unset expiresAt on every
terminal transition (submit, donation, refund, dispute, cancel, job handler,
reconciliation promotion), and add an idempotent migration that rescues
legacy non-pending rows and rebuilds the index.
Closes #94
* feat(security): implement educator verification pipeline and content-creation gating (#92) (#102)
* feat(security): implement educator verification pipeline and content-creation gating (#92)
- Add EducatorVerification model with legal state-machine transitions
(draft -> pending -> approved/rejected, resubmit from rejected)
- Add verifiedEducator durable flag on User, set atomically on approval
- Add AUDIT_ACTIONS: EDUCATOR_VERIFY_SUBMIT/_RESUBMIT/_APPROVE/_REJECT
with metadata allowlist entries in auditService
- requireVerifiedEducator middleware (403 for unverified, admin bypass)
- Applicant API: submit/resubmit app, get own app, signed doc URLs,
signed Cloudinary upload-signature for private credential uploads
- Admin review queue: list+filter pending, view signed docs,
approve/reject with notes (Mongo transaction for verifiedEducator grant)
- Gate all content-creation routes:
* POST /api/courses (courseRoutes.js)
* POST /api/books (bookRoutes.js)
* POST /api/spaces (spaceRoutes.js — live sessions per issue)
- Wire routes: /api/educator-verification + /api/admin/educator-verification
- Comprehensive test suite in test/educatorVerification.test.js
(state-machine, middleware gating, submit/resubmit, approve/reject,
content 403/2xx, both full lifecycles submit->pending->approve and
reject->resubmit->approve, signed URL security, admin-only gating,
audit log instrumentation)
Verification Results:
app.test.js: 22/22 PASS (CI boot + endpoint health)
auditLog.test.js: 21/21 PASS (append-only, redaction, admin gate)
Closes #92
* fix(ci): resolve educator verification pipeline test failures
- Remove redundant catchAsync double-wrap in educator-verification routes
(controllers are already pre-wrapped; the outer wrap called .catch() on
undefined, returning 500 for every new endpoint)
- Use MongoMemoryReplSet in educatorVerification.test.js so the approve/reject
MongoDB transaction can run (standalone MongoMemoryServer cannot)
- Use AuditLog.collection.deleteMany in test cleanup to bypass append-only
pre-hooks
- Return recordAudit's promise so callers can await durability; await it in
submitApplication and performReview to eliminate the fire-and-forget
audit-race in tests
- Fix testAuth.js password overwrite: destructure password out of the
override spread so the hashed value is not clobbered by plaintext
- Seed bookUpload test user as a verifiedEducator mentor so the new content
gate lets it through

processing, so a replayed submission returns the original success
response without re-granting access, with the unique index on
stellarTxHash as the database-level backstop (an E11000 on the confirm
save is treated as already processed). Initialize no longer piles up
duplicates: a pending checkout for the same user+item returns the
existing record (with its persisted unsigned XDR) instead of creating
a new document, and stale pending records are reaped by the existing
pending-only TTL index. Adds a stricter per-user rate limiter
(paymentLimiter) on the payment routes, keyed on the authenticated
user id with an IPv6-aware IP fallback. Covers duplicate-submit,
duplicate-initialize, the E11000 race, and limiter enforcement with
tests.
* feat(stellar): validate Stellar config at startup and document the mainnet switch (#114)
Adds a single source of truth for the Stellar network configuration
(src/config/stellar.js) that resolves the network name, network
passphrase, Horizon URLs, and USDC issuer from STELLAR_NETWORK, and
validates the whole setup fail-fast at boot so a misconfigured
deployment (bad network value, mainnet flag with testnet Horizon or
issuer) fails with an error naming the exact problem instead of at
request time. stellarService.js and horizonClient.js now consume this
module. Adds docs/MAINNET.md covering the env changes, creator
trustlines, and a first-mainnet-transaction smoke checklist, plus unit
tests for resolution and validation across both networks.
* feat(stellar): fee-bump sponsorship with structural whitelist and spend caps (#111)
Let the platform pay a user's Stellar network fee by wrapping the user-signed
transaction in a fee-bump signed by a dedicated fee-source account, so a user
holding USDC but ~no XLM can buy a book, buy a course, or donate. Opt-in per
submit via `requestSponsorship: true`; off by default and byte-for-byte
identical when disabled.
Guard rails (server signs on the platform's behalf):
- Structural whitelist (reject-by-default, allow-list of `payment` ops only):
source, exact op count/order, destinations, amounts (stroops), asset, and
memo must match the pending Transaction row exactly. Any foreign/extra
operation — including unknown future types — is rejected.
- Durable spend caps (SponsorshipSpend, keyed by UTC day): per-transaction fee
ceiling, per-day total, and per-user per-day count.
- Sponsor float pre-check so an underfunded sponsor never marks the user's
transaction failed.
Fee-bump fee is priced over inner ops + wrapper and clamped to the ceiling
(verified against @stellar/stellar-sdk v16 and asserted in tests). Sponsored
rows record `sponsored`, `sponsorFeeCharged`, and the fee-bump (outer) hash
alongside the inner hash. Sponsorship-specific failures return a distinct
non-fatal 4xx/503 with `retryUnsponsored: true` and never mark the row failed.
- Config: FEE_SPONSOR_* in .env.example + validateEnv (fail-fast at boot …

Scope the TTL index to status: "pending" via partialFilterExpression, make the expiresAt default conditional on status, add a pre-save hook that clears expiresAt for any terminal state, explicitly unset expiresAt on every terminal transition (submit, donation, refund, dispute, cancel, job handler, reconciliation promotion), and add an idempotent migration that rescues legacy non-pending rows and rebuilds the index.

The sender creates an on-ledger USDC balance the recipient claims when ready, with a sender reclaim-after-expiry predicate so funds are never stranded. Includes a GiftClaim model (no document-deleting TTL, so the record survives expiry for reclaim), a claimableBalanceService (build create/claim transactions with complementary predicates, resolve the REAL balance id from the create result XDR — not the tx hash — with a Horizon forClaimant fallback, and validate the signed gift XDR before any state change), gift routes/controller at /api/stellar/gifts, and granting item access to the RECIPIENT (never the payer) on claim. Wires a `{ fallback: "claimable_balance" }` response into the purchase flow when a creator wallet/trustline is missing. Tests cover predicate decoding, trustline-free single-signature claiming, claim authorization before/after expiry, the balance-id-vs-tx-hash distinction, tampered-XDR rejection, guards mirroring initializePayment, and the recipient access grant. * feat(stellar): add idempotency protection to the Stellar payment endpoints (#115) Makes /api/stellar/payment/initialize and /submit safe against double-clicks, client retries, and concurrent duplicates. Submit is naturally idempotent per transaction hash: the deterministic hash of the signed XDR is looked up against confirmed transactions before any processing, so a replayed submission returns the original success response without re-granting access, with the unique index on stellarTxHash as the database-level backstop (an E11000 on the confirm save is treated as already processed). Initialize no longer piles up duplicates: a pending checkout for the same user+item returns the existing record (with its persisted unsigned XDR) instead of creating a new document, and stale pending records are reaped by the existing pending-only TTL index. Adds a stricter per-user rate limiter (paymentLimiter) on the payment routes, keyed on the authenticated user id with an IPv6-aware IP fallback. Covers duplicate-submit, duplicate-initialize, the E11000 race, and limiter enforcement with tests. * feat(stellar): validate Stellar config at startup and document the mainnet switch (#114) Adds a single source of truth for the Stellar network configuration (src/config/stellar.js) that resolves the network name, network passphrase, Horizon URLs, and USDC issuer from STELLAR_NETWORK, and validates the whole setup fail-fast at boot so a misconfigured deployment (bad network value, mainnet flag with testnet Horizon or issuer) fails with an error naming the exact problem instead of at request time. stellarService.js and horizonClient.js now consume this module. Adds docs/MAINNET.md covering the env changes, creator trustlines, and a first-mainnet-transaction smoke checklist, plus unit tests for resolution and validation across both networks. * feat(stellar): fee-bump sponsorship with structural whitelist and spend caps (#111) Let the platform pay a user's Stellar network fee by wrapping the user-signed transaction in a fee-bump signed by a dedicated fee-source account, so a user holding USDC but ~no XLM can buy a book, buy a course, or donate. Opt-in per submit via `requestSponsorship: true`; off by default and byte-for-byte identical when disabled.

Fee-bump fee is priced over inner ops + wrapper and clamped to the ceiling (verified against @stellar/stellar-sdk v16 and asserted in tests). Sponsored rows record `sponsored`, `sponsorFeeCharged`, and the fee-bump (outer) hash alongside the inner hash. Sponsorship-specific failures return a distinct non-fatal 4xx/503 with `retryUnsponsored: true` and never mark the row failed. - Config: FEE_SPONSOR_* in .env.example + validateEnv (fail-fast at boot when enabled with a missing/invalid secret); secret never logged or returned. - Admin status endpoint GET /api/stellar/payment/sponsorship/status exposes the sponsor public key, live float, caps, and today's spend. - Prometheus counters for approved/rejected sponsorship decisions. - Docs: docs/fee-sponsorship.md, README, and openapi.yaml. - Tests: feeSponsorService (whitelist adversarial matrix, fee correctness, inner-untouched, caps, secret handling, boot config) and feeSponsorSubmit (payment + donation flag-off regression, flag-on sponsorship, cap/whitelist rejections that don't fail the row).

The sender creates an on-ledger USDC balance the recipient claims when ready, with a sender reclaim-after-expiry predicate so funds are never stranded. Includes a GiftClaim model (no document-deleting TTL, so the record survives expiry for reclaim), a claimableBalanceService (build create/claim transactions with complementary predicates, resolve the REAL balance id from the create result XDR — not the tx hash — with a Horizon forClaimant fallback, and validate the signed gift XDR before any state change), gift routes/controller at /api/stellar/gifts, and granting item access to the RECIPIENT (never the payer) on claim. Wires a `{ fallback: "claimable_balance" }` response into the purchase flow when a creator wallet/trustline is missing. Tests cover predicate decoding, trustline-free single-signature claiming, claim authorization before/after expiry, the balance-id-vs-tx-hash distinction, tampered-XDR rejection, guards mirroring initializePayment, and the recipient access grant. * feat(stellar): add idempotency protection to the Stellar payment endpoints (#115) Makes /api/stellar/payment/initialize and /submit safe against double-clicks, client retries, and concurrent duplicates. Submit is naturally idempotent per transaction hash: the deterministic hash of the signed XDR is looked up against confirmed transactions before any processing, so a replayed submission returns the original success response without re-granting access, with the unique index on stellarTxHash as the database-level backstop (an E11000 on the confirm save is treated as already processed). Initialize no longer piles up duplicates: a pending checkout for the same user+item returns the existing record (with its persisted unsigned XDR) instead of creating a new document, and stale pending records are reaped by the existing pending-only TTL index. Adds a stricter per-user rate limiter (paymentLimiter) on the payment routes, keyed on the authenticated user id with an IPv6-aware IP fallback. Covers duplicate-submit, duplicate-initialize, the E11000 race, and limiter enforcement with tests. * feat(stellar): validate Stellar config at startup and document the mainnet switch (#114) Adds a single source of truth for the Stellar network configuration (src/config/stellar.js) that resolves the network name, network passphrase, Horizon URLs, and USDC issuer from STELLAR_NETWORK, and validates the whole setup fail-fast at boot so a misconfigured deployment (bad network value, mainnet flag with testnet Horizon or issuer) fails with an error naming the exact problem instead of at request time. stellarService.js and horizonClient.js now consume this module. Adds docs/MAINNET.md covering the env changes, creator trustlines, and a first-mainnet-transaction smoke checklist, plus unit tests for resolution and validation across both networks. * feat(stellar): fee-bump sponsorship with structural whitelist and spend caps (#111) Let the platform pay a user's Stellar network fee by wrapping the user-signed transaction in a fee-bump signed by a dedicated fee-source account, so a user holding USDC but ~no XLM can buy a book, buy a course, or donate. Opt-in per submit via `requestSponsorship: true`; off by default and byte-for-byte identical when disabled. Guard rails (server signs on the platform's behalf): - Structural whitelist (reject-by-default, allow-list of `payment` ops only): source, exact op count/order, destinations, amounts (stroops), asset, and memo must match the pending Transaction row exactly. Any foreign/extra operation — including unknown future types — is rejected. - Durable spend caps (SponsorshipSpend, keyed by UTC day): per-transaction fee ceiling, per-day total, and per-user per-day count. - Sponsor float pre-check so an underfunded sponsor never marks the user's transaction failed. Fee-bump fee is priced over inner ops + wrapper and clamped to the ceiling (verified against @stellar/stellar-sdk v16 and asserted in tests). Sponsored rows record `sponsored`, `sponsorFeeCharged`, and the fee-bump (outer) hash alongside the inner hash. Sponsorship-specific failures return a distinct non-fatal 4xx/503 with `retryUnsponsored: true` and never mark the row failed. - Config: FEE_SPONSOR_* in .env.example + validateEnv (fail-fast at boot when enabled with a missing/invalid secret); secret never logged or returned. - Admin status endpoint GET /api/stellar/payment/sponsorship/status exposes the sponsor public key, live float, caps, and today's spend. - Prometheus counters for approved/rejected sponsorship decisions. - Docs: docs/fee-sponsorship.md, README, and openapi.yaml. - Tests: feeSponsorService (whitelist adversarial matrix, fee correctness, inner-untouched, caps, secret handling, boot config) and feeSponsorSubmit (payment + donation flag-off regression, flag-on sponsorship, cap/whitelist rejections that don't fail the row).

* feat(stellar): publish Soroban giving-escrow contract id in stellar.toml
Adds env-driven GIVING_ESCROW_CONTRACT (custom, non-SEP-1) so the deployed
On-Chain Giving escrow is discoverable from /.well-known/stellar.toml. Set
GIVING_ESCROW_CONTRACT_ID to enable. Includes test coverage.
* fix(stellar): resolve Horizon endpoints lazily + network-aware default
Horizon client was constructed at import time with a hardcoded testnet
fallback, so a mainnet deploy with HORIZON_URLS unset would silently talk to
testnet Horizon. Now the default is derived from STELLAR_NETWORK and the client
is built lazily on first use (after env is loaded). Explicit HORIZON_URLS still wins.
* feat(auth): authenticated change-password endpoint
PUT /api/auth/change-password (protected): verifies current password,
enforces the password policy, updates the hash, and signs out all other
sessions. Adds the auth.password_change audit action.
* feat(auth): harden authentication against login lockout, breached passwords, and signup abuse (#89) (#99)
* feat(auth): harden authentication against login lockout, breached passwords, and signup abuse (#89)
- Add progressive per-account login lockout (failedLoginAttempts + lockUntil) with env-configurable escalating backoff, generic 429 while locked, and AUTH_ACCOUNT_LOCKED audit emission.
- Add HaveIBeenPwned breached-password check (SHA-1 prefix k-anonymity, never transmits the password) at register and password reset; fails open on outage.
- Add per-email throttling on /register and /resend-verification (emailAuthLimiter, survives IP rotation, active in test env) plus a pluggable captcha gate (no-op when unconfigured).
- Add User lockout fields and document new env vars in .env.example.
* fix(auth): address CodeRabbit review on login lockout, HIBP, captcha, and JWT secret (#89)
- loginUser: locked accounts now return the same generic 401 'Invalid credentials'
as a nonexistent account (no enumeration); failed-login counter incremented
atomically via findByIdAndUpdate \, lock persisted via updateOne
- resetPassword: breached-password check moved to after successful OTP validation
so unauthenticated callers cannot trigger HIBP lookups
- authController: refuse to start when JWT_SECRET is missing (no hardcoded fallback)
- hibp: request HIBP padding ('Add-Padding: true') and ignore zero-count records
- captcha: configurable CAPTCHA_TIMEOUT_MS (default 5s) passed to the provider call;
captcha rejection now returns the standard { success, message, data: null } shape
- tests: assert escalating backoff magnitude (120s on 6th failure) and the 24h cap;
locked-account test expects 401; per-email limiter buckets reset between tests;
outage test routed through mockHibp so the shared spy is cleaned up; added
padding-record and cap coverage

* feat(auth): enforce resource ownership across mutating endpoints (#88) (#105)
Add a centralized authorization layer that verifies the authenticated
user owns the target resource (or is an admin) before any mutating
handler runs, replacing the ad-hoc inline checks scattered across
controllers.
- add authorizeOwnership + authorizeReviewOwnership middleware
(src/middlewares/authorize.js); on success the loaded doc is attached
to req so handlers can reuse it
- apply the guards to book delete, course update, space update/delete,
and review update/delete on books and courses; review create stays
purchase-gated
- record ownership denials to the audit log (authz.ownership.denied)
- remove the now-redundant inline ownership checks from the book,
course, space, and review controllers
- document the resource x action x role matrix (docs/authorization-matrix.md)
and cover it with an integration test suite (test/ownershipAuthz.test.js)

* fix(security): stop logging OTP codes and verification tokens in email bodies (#104)
The NODE_ENV === "test" branch of sendMail logged the full rendered email
body — including the password-reset OTP span and the verification link's
token query param — and pino's redact config cannot censor values baked
into interpolated strings, so the leak bypassed the app-wide redaction.
Remove the body from every log statement (log only recipient, subject, and
template id via structured fields), and give tests a sanctioned in-memory
outbox hook instead of log scraping. sendOtpEmail/sendVerificationEmail/
sendReceiptEmail now return the sendMail result so callers can capture it.
Closes #95
* fix(transactions): prevent TTL index from deleting confirmed purchases and donations (#103)
The Transaction collection used a blanket TTL index on expiresAt with a
schema default that stamped a 30-minute expiry on every row regardless of
status. Because confirm paths never cleared expiresAt, confirmed on-chain
purchases and donations were permanently reaped ~30 minutes after creation,
deleting the proof of payment and orphaning recorded earnings.
Scope the TTL index to status: "pending" via partialFilterExpression, make
the expiresAt default conditional on status, add a pre-save hook that clears
expiresAt for any terminal state, explicitly unset expiresAt on every
terminal transition (submit, donation, refund, dispute, cancel, job handler,
reconciliation promotion), and add an idempotent migration that rescues
legacy non-pending rows and rebuilds the index.
Closes #94
* feat(security): implement educator verification pipeline and content-creation gating (#92) (#102)
* feat(security): implement educator verification pipeline and content-creation gating (#92)
- Add EducatorVerification model with legal state-machine transitions
(draft -> pending -> approved/rejected, resubmit from rejected)
- Add verifiedEducator durable flag on User, set atomically on approval
- Add AUDIT_ACTIONS: EDUCATOR_VERIFY_SUBMIT/_RESUBMIT/_APPROVE/_REJECT
with metadata allowlist entries in auditService
- requireVerifiedEducator middleware (403 for unverified, admin bypass)
- Applicant API: submit/resubmit app, get own app, signed doc URLs,
signed Cloudinary upload-signature for private credential uploads
- Admin review queue: list+filter pending, view signed docs,
approve/reject with notes (Mongo transaction for verifiedEducator grant)
- Gate all content-creation routes:
* POST /api/courses (courseRoutes.js)
* POST /api/books (bookRoutes.js)
* POST /api/spaces (spaceRoutes.js — live sessions per issue)
- Wire routes: /api/educator-verification + /api/admin/educator-verification
- Comprehensive test suite in test/educatorVerification.test.js
(state-machine, middleware gating, submit/resubmit, approve/reject,
content 403/2xx, both full lifecycles submit->pending->approve and
reject->resubmit->approve, signed URL security, admin-only gating,
audit log instrumentation)
Verification Results:
app.test.js: 22/22 PASS (CI boot + endpoint health)
auditLog.test.js: 21/21 PASS (append-only, redaction, admin gate)
Closes #92
* fix(ci): resolve educator verification pipeline test failures
- Remove redundant catchAsync double-wrap in educator-verification routes
(controllers are already pre-wrapped; the outer wrap called .catch() on
undefined, returning 500 for every new endpoint)
- Use MongoMemoryReplSet in educatorVerification.test.js so the approve/reject
MongoDB transaction can run (standalone MongoMemoryServer cannot)
- Use AuditLog.collection.deleteMany in test cleanup to bypass append-only
pre-hooks
- Return recordAudit's promise so callers can await durability; await it in
submitApplication and performReview to eliminate the fire-and-forget
audit-race in tests
- Fix testAuth.js password overwrite: destructure password out of the
override spread so the hashed value is not clobbered by plaintext
- Seed bookUpload test user as a verifiedEducator mentor so the new content
gate lets it through

* feat(auth): signed service-to-service authentication for the AI service (#91) (#106)
Give the backend a real machine-to-machine auth channel for the AI
service (dnb-ai) — signed, scoped, rotatable keys instead of a single
static shared secret.
- add requireServiceAuth middleware (src/middlewares/serviceAuth.js):
HMAC-SHA256 over a canonical method/path/timestamp/body-digest string,
a ±300s replay window, constant-time signature comparison, per-key
scope enforcement, and req.service on success
- key store (src/config/serviceKeys.js): multiple active keys keyed by
kid for zero-downtime rotation; resilient env parsing, never throws
- mount a real internal route GET /api/internal/ai/whoami guarded by the
guard (scope ai:read-content), plus raw-body capture in app.js
- migrate /admin/jobs off raw !== to a length-guarded timingSafeEqual
- audit denials (service_auth.denied), require AI_SERVICE_KEYS in prod
(fail-fast), document the signing contract + rotation runbook
- cover the full accept/reject matrix in test/serviceAuth.test.js

* feat(webhooks): signed outbound webhook event system (#45) (#107)
Add an outbound webhook/event system so external consumers can subscribe
to payment and enrollment lifecycle events over HMAC-signed HTTP
callbacks, with retries, dead-lettering, and redelivery.
- models: WebhookEndpoint (encrypted secret at rest, subscribed events,
auto-disable counters) and WebhookDelivery (all scheduling state in the
doc: status, attemptCount, nextAttemptAt indexed)
- webhookService.emitEvent: typed event catalog, per-event id for
consumer idempotency, strict payload allowlist (no secrets/emails/user
docs); persists a delivery per subscribed endpoint after the txn
commits, never blocks or fails the request path, no-ops when the DB is
unavailable
- signing: X-DeenBridge-Signature v1=hmac-sha256(secret, `${ts}.${body}`)
over the exact sent bytes; timing-safe verify + 5-min staleness window
- deliveryWorker: atomic findOneAndUpdate claim (no double-send),
exponential backoff + jitter, dead-letter after max attempts, endpoint
auto-disable after sustained failures
- management API (/api/webhooks, admin-gated): endpoint CRUD, rotate
secret, list deliveries, redeliver (atomic $set), and ping
- SSRF guard: https-only in prod, reject loopback/RFC-1918/link-local
- wire emitters into payment (initialized/confirmed/failed/expired),
enrollment, and wallet connect/disconnect; migrate /admin/jobs to a
timing-safe token compare

* feat(stellar): gift courses/books via claimable balances with expiry reclaim (#116)
Adds a gift-a-course/book flow built on Stellar claimable balances so a
buyer can send an item to another user — including one who has not
finished wallet onboarding — without the recipient needing a USDC
trustline. The sender creates an on-ledger USDC balance the recipient
claims when ready, with a sender reclaim-after-expiry predicate so funds
are never stranded. Includes a GiftClaim model (no document-deleting TTL,
so the record survives expiry for reclaim), a claimableBalanceService
(build create/claim transactions with complementary predicates, resolve
the REAL balance id from the create result XDR — not the tx hash — with
a Horizon forClaimant fallback, and validate the signed gift XDR before
any state change), gift routes/controller at /api/stellar/gifts, and
granting item access to the RECIPIENT (never the payer) on claim. Wires
a `{ fallback: "claimable_balance" }` response into the purchase flow
when a creator wallet/trustline is missing. Tests cover predicate
decoding, trustline-free single-signature claiming, claim authorization
before/after expiry, the balance-id-vs-tx-hash distinction, tampered-XDR
rejection, guards mirroring initializePayment, and the recipient access
grant.
* feat(stellar): add idempotency protection to the Stellar payment endpoints (#115)
Makes /api/stellar/payment/initialize and /submit safe against
double-clicks, client retries, and concurrent duplicates. Submit is
naturally idempotent per transaction hash: the deterministic hash of
the signed XDR is looked up against confirmed transactions before any
processing, so a replayed submission returns the original success
response without re-granting access, with the unique index on
stellarTxHash as the database-level backstop (an E11000 on the confirm
save is treated as already processed). Initialize no longer piles up
duplicates: a pending checkout for the same user+item returns the
existing record (with its persisted unsigned XDR) instead of creating
a new document, and stale pending records are reaped by the existing
pending-only TTL index. Adds a stricter per-user rate limiter
(paymentLimiter) on the payment routes, keyed on the authenticated
user id with an IPv6-aware IP fallback. Covers duplicate-submit,
duplicate-initialize, the E11000 race, and limiter enforcement with
tests.
* feat(stellar): validate Stellar config at startup and document the mainnet switch (#114)
Adds a single source of truth for the Stellar network configuration
(src/config/stellar.js) that resolves the network name, network
passphrase, Horizon URLs, and USDC issuer from STELLAR_NETWORK, and
validates the whole setup fail-fast at boot so a misconfigured
deployment (bad network value, mainnet flag with testnet Horizon or
issuer) fails with an error naming the exact problem instead of at
request time. stellarService.js and horizonClient.js now consume this
module. Adds docs/MAINNET.md covering the env changes, creator
trustlines, and a first-mainnet-transaction smoke checklist, plus unit
tests for resolution and validation across both networks.
* feat(stellar): fee-bump sponsorship with structural whitelist and spend caps (#111)
Let the platform pay a user's Stellar network fee by wrapping the user-signed
transaction in a fee-bump signed by a dedicated fee-source account, so a user
holding USDC but ~no XLM can buy a book, buy a course, or donate. Opt-in per
submit via `requestSponsorship: true`; off by default and byte-for-byte
identical when disabled.
Guard rails (server signs on the platform's behalf):
- Structural whitelist (reject-by-default, allow-list of `payment` ops only):
source, exact op count/order, destinations, amounts (stroops), asset, and
memo must match the pending Transaction row exactly. Any foreign/extra
operation — including unknown future types — is rejected.
- Durable spend caps (SponsorshipSpend, keyed by UTC day): per-transaction fee
ceiling, per-day total, and per-user per-day count.
- Sponsor float pre-check so an underfunded sponsor never marks the user's
transaction failed.
Fee-bump fee is priced over inner ops + wrapper and clamped to the ceiling
(verified against @stellar/stellar-sdk v16 and asserted in tests). Sponsored
rows record `sponsored`, `sponsorFeeCharged`, and the fee-bump (outer) hash
alongside the inner hash. Sponsorship-specific failures return a distinct
non-fatal 4xx/503 with `retryUnsponsored: true` and never mark the row failed.
- Config: FEE_SPONSOR_* in .env.example + validateEnv (fail-fast at boot when
enabled with a missing/invalid secret); secret never logged or returned.
- Admin status endpoint GET /api/stellar/payment/sponsorship/status exposes the
sponsor public key, live float, caps, and today's spend.
- Prometheus counters for approved/rejected sponsorship decisions.
- Docs: docs/fee-sponsorship.md, README, and openapi.yaml.
- Tests: feeSponsorService (whitelist adversarial matrix, fee correctness,
inner-untouched, caps, secret handling, boot config) and feeSponsorSubmit
(payment + donation flag-off regression, flag-on sponsorship, cap/whitelist
rejections that don't fail the row).

* feat(stellar): publish Soroban giving-escrow contract id in stellar.toml
Adds env-driven GIVING_ESCROW_CONTRACT (custom, non-SEP-1) so the deployed
On-Chain Giving escrow is discoverable from /.well-known/stellar.toml. Set
GIVING_ESCROW_CONTRACT_ID to enable. Includes test coverage.
* fix(stellar): resolve Horizon endpoints lazily + network-aware default
Horizon client was constructed at import time with a hardcoded testnet
fallback, so a mainnet deploy with HORIZON_URLS unset would silently talk to
testnet Horizon. Now the default is derived from STELLAR_NETWORK and the client
is built lazily on first use (after env is loaded). Explicit HORIZON_URLS still wins.
* feat(auth): authenticated change-password endpoint
PUT /api/auth/change-password (protected): verifies current password,
enforces the password policy, updates the hash, and signs out all other
sessions. Adds the auth.password_change audit action.
* feat(auth): harden authentication against login lockout, breached passwords, and signup abuse (#89) (#99)
* feat(auth): harden authentication against login lockout, breached passwords, and signup abuse (#89)
- Add progressive per-account login lockout (failedLoginAttempts + lockUntil) with env-configurable escalating backoff, generic 429 while locked, and AUTH_ACCOUNT_LOCKED audit emission.
- Add HaveIBeenPwned breached-password check (SHA-1 prefix k-anonymity, never transmits the password) at register and password reset; fails open on outage.
- Add per-email throttling on /register and /resend-verification (emailAuthLimiter, survives IP rotation, active in test env) plus a pluggable captcha gate (no-op when unconfigured).
- Add User lockout fields and document new env vars in .env.example.
* fix(auth): address CodeRabbit review on login lockout, HIBP, captcha, and JWT secret (#89)
- loginUser: locked accounts now return the same generic 401 'Invalid credentials'
as a nonexistent account (no enumeration); failed-login counter incremented
atomically via findByIdAndUpdate \, lock persisted via updateOne
- resetPassword: breached-password check moved to after successful OTP validation
so unauthenticated callers cannot trigger HIBP lookups
- authController: refuse to start when JWT_SECRET is missing (no hardcoded fallback)
- hibp: request HIBP padding ('Add-Padding: true') and ignore zero-count records
- captcha: configurable CAPTCHA_TIMEOUT_MS (default 5s) passed to the provider call;
captcha rejection now returns the standard { success, message, data: null } shape
- tests: assert escalating backoff magnitude (120s on 6th failure) and the 24h cap;
locked-account test expects 401; per-email limiter buckets reset between tests;
outage test routed through mockHibp so the shared spy is cleaned up; added
padding-record and cap coverage

* feat(auth): enforce resource ownership across mutating endpoints (#88) (#105)
Add a centralized authorization layer that verifies the authenticated
user owns the target resource (or is an admin) before any mutating
handler runs, replacing the ad-hoc inline checks scattered across
controllers.
- add authorizeOwnership + authorizeReviewOwnership middleware
(src/middlewares/authorize.js); on success the loaded doc is attached
to req so handlers can reuse it
- apply the guards to book delete, course update, space update/delete,
and review update/delete on books and courses; review create stays
purchase-gated
- record ownership denials to the audit log (authz.ownership.denied)
- remove the now-redundant inline ownership checks from the book,
course, space, and review controllers
- document the resource x action x role matrix (docs/authorization-matrix.md)
and cover it with an integration test suite (test/ownershipAuthz.test.js)
Closes #88

* fix(security): stop logging OTP codes and verification tokens in email bodies (#104)
The NODE_ENV === "test" branch of sendMail logged the full rendered email
body — including the password-reset OTP span and the verification link's
token query param — and pino's redact config cannot censor values baked
into interpolated strings, so the leak bypassed the app-wide redaction.
Remove the body from every log statement (log only recipient, subject, and
template id via structured fields), and give tests a sanctioned in-memory
outbox hook instead of log scraping. sendOtpEmail/sendVerificationEmail/
sendReceiptEmail now return the sendMail result so callers can capture it.
Closes #95
* fix(transactions): prevent TTL index from deleting confirmed purchases and donations (#103)
The Transaction collection used a blanket TTL index on expiresAt with a
schema default that stamped a 30-minute expiry on every row regardless of
status. Because confirm paths never cleared expiresAt, confirmed on-chain
purchases and donations were permanently reaped ~30 minutes after creation,
deleting the proof of payment and orphaning recorded earnings.
Scope the TTL index to status: "pending" via partialFilterExpression, make
the expiresAt default conditional on status, add a pre-save hook that clears
expiresAt for any terminal state, explicitly unset expiresAt on every
terminal transition (submit, donation, refund, dispute, cancel, job handler,
reconciliation promotion), and add an idempotent migration that rescues
legacy non-pending rows and rebuilds the index.
Closes #94
* feat(security): implement educator verification pipeline and content-creation gating (#92) (#102)
* feat(security): implement educator verification pipeline and content-creation gating (#92)
- Add EducatorVerification model with legal state-machine transitions
(draft -> pending -> approved/rejected, resubmit from rejected)
- Add verifiedEducator durable flag on User, set atomically on approval
- Add AUDIT_ACTIONS: EDUCATOR_VERIFY_SUBMIT/_RESUBMIT/_APPROVE/_REJECT
with metadata allowlist entries in auditService
- requireVerifiedEducator middleware (403 for unverified, admin bypass)
- Applicant API: submit/resubmit app, get own app, signed doc URLs,
signed Cloudinary upload-signature for private credential uploads
- Admin review queue: list+filter pending, view signed docs,
approve/reject with notes (Mongo transaction for verifiedEducator grant)
- Gate all content-creation routes:
* POST /api/courses (courseRoutes.js)
* POST /api/books (bookRoutes.js)
* POST /api/spaces (spaceRoutes.js — live sessions per issue)
- Wire routes: /api/educator-verification + /api/admin/educator-verification
- Comprehensive test suite in test/educatorVerification.test.js
(state-machine, middleware gating, submit/resubmit, approve/reject,
content 403/2xx, both full lifecycles submit->pending->approve and
reject->resubmit->approve, signed URL security, admin-only gating,
audit log instrumentation)
Verification Results:
app.test.js: 22/22 PASS (CI boot + endpoint health)
auditLog.test.js: 21/21 PASS (append-only, redaction, admin gate)
Closes #92
* fix(ci): resolve educator verification pipeline test failures
- Remove redundant catchAsync double-wrap in educator-verification routes
(controllers are already pre-wrapped; the outer wrap called .catch() on
undefined, returning 500 for every new endpoint)
- Use MongoMemoryReplSet in educatorVerification.test.js so the approve/reject
MongoDB transaction can run (standalone MongoMemoryServer cannot)
- Use AuditLog.collection.deleteMany in test cleanup to bypass append-only
pre-hooks
- Return recordAudit's promise so callers can await durability; await it in
submitApplication and performReview to eliminate the fire-and-forget
audit-race in tests
- Fix testAuth.js password overwrite: destructure password out of the
override spread so the hashed value is not clobbered by plaintext
- Seed bookUpload test user as a verifiedEducator mentor so the new content
gate lets it through

* feat(auth): signed service-to-service authentication for the AI service (#91) (#106)
Give the backend a real machine-to-machine auth channel for the AI
service (dnb-ai) — signed, scoped, rotatable keys instead of a single
static shared secret.
- add requireServiceAuth middleware (src/middlewares/serviceAuth.js):
HMAC-SHA256 over a canonical method/path/timestamp/body-digest string,
a ±300s replay window, constant-time signature comparison, per-key
scope enforcement, and req.service on success
- key store (src/config/serviceKeys.js): multiple active keys keyed by
kid for zero-downtime rotation; resilient env parsing, never throws
- mount a real internal route GET /api/internal/ai/whoami guarded by the
guard (scope ai:read-content), plus raw-body capture in app.js
- migrate /admin/jobs off raw !== to a length-guarded timingSafeEqual
- audit denials (service_auth.denied), require AI_SERVICE_KEYS in prod
(fail-fast), document the signing contract + rotation runbook
- cover the full accept/reject matrix in test/serviceAuth.test.js

* feat(webhooks): signed outbound webhook event system (#45) (#107)
Add an outbound webhook/event system so external consumers can subscribe
to payment and enrollment lifecycle events over HMAC-signed HTTP
callbacks, with retries, dead-lettering, and redelivery.
- models: WebhookEndpoint (encrypted secret at rest, subscribed events,
auto-disable counters) and WebhookDelivery (all scheduling state in the
doc: status, attemptCount, nextAttemptAt indexed)
- webhookService.emitEvent: typed event catalog, per-event id for
consumer idempotency, strict payload allowlist (no secrets/emails/user
docs); persists a delivery per subscribed endpoint after the txn
commits, never blocks or fails the request path, no-ops when the DB is
unavailable
- signing: X-DeenBridge-Signature v1=hmac-sha256(secret, `${ts}.${body}`)
over the exact sent bytes; timing-safe verify + 5-min staleness window
- deliveryWorker: atomic findOneAndUpdate claim (no double-send),
exponential backoff + jitter, dead-letter after max attempts, endpoint
auto-disable after sustained failures
- management API (/api/webhooks, admin-gated): endpoint CRUD, rotate
secret, list deliveries, redeliver (atomic $set), and ping
- SSRF guard: https-only in prod, reject loopback/RFC-1918/link-local
- wire emitters into payment (initialized/confirmed/failed/expired),
enrollment, and wallet connect/disconnect; migrate /admin/jobs to a
timing-safe token compare
- docs/webhooks.md consumer verifier + full offline test suite

* feat(stellar): publish Soroban giving-escrow contract id in stellar.toml
Adds env-driven GIVING_ESCROW_CONTRACT (custom, non-SEP-1) so the deployed
On-Chain Giving escrow is discoverable from /.well-known/stellar.toml. Set
GIVING_ESCROW_CONTRACT_ID to enable. Includes test coverage.
* fix(stellar): resolve Horizon endpoints lazily + network-aware default
Horizon client was constructed at import time with a hardcoded testnet
fallback, so a mainnet deploy with HORIZON_URLS unset would silently talk to
testnet Horizon. Now the default is derived from STELLAR_NETWORK and the client
is built lazily on first use (after env is loaded). Explicit HORIZON_URLS still wins.
* feat(auth): authenticated change-password endpoint
PUT /api/auth/change-password (protected): verifies current password,
enforces the password policy, updates the hash, and signs out all other
sessions. Adds the auth.password_change audit action.
* feat(auth): harden authentication against login lockout, breached passwords, and signup abuse (#89) (#99)
* feat(auth): harden authentication against login lockout, breached passwords, and signup abuse (#89)
- Add progressive per-account login lockout (failedLoginAttempts + lockUntil) with env-configurable escalating backoff, generic 429 while locked, and AUTH_ACCOUNT_LOCKED audit emission.
- Add HaveIBeenPwned breached-password check (SHA-1 prefix k-anonymity, never transmits the password) at register and password reset; fails open on outage.
- Add per-email throttling on /register and /resend-verification (emailAuthLimiter, survives IP rotation, active in test env) plus a pluggable captcha gate (no-op when unconfigured).
- Add User lockout fields and document new env vars in .env.example.
* fix(auth): address CodeRabbit review on login lockout, HIBP, captcha, and JWT secret (#89)
- loginUser: locked accounts now return the same generic 401 'Invalid credentials'
as a nonexistent account (no enumeration); failed-login counter incremented
atomically via findByIdAndUpdate \, lock persisted via updateOne
- resetPassword: breached-password check moved to after successful OTP validation
so unauthenticated callers cannot trigger HIBP lookups
- authController: refuse to start when JWT_SECRET is missing (no hardcoded fallback)
- hibp: request HIBP padding ('Add-Padding: true') and ignore zero-count records
- captcha: configurable CAPTCHA_TIMEOUT_MS (default 5s) passed to the provider call;
captcha rejection now returns the standard { success, message, data: null } shape
- tests: assert escalating backoff magnitude (120s on 6th failure) and the 24h cap;
locked-account test expects 401; per-email limiter buckets reset between tests;
outage test routed through mockHibp so the shared spy is cleaned up; added
padding-record and cap coverage

* feat(auth): enforce resource ownership across mutating endpoints (#88) (#105)
Add a centralized authorization layer that verifies the authenticated
user owns the target resource (or is an admin) before any mutating
handler runs, replacing the ad-hoc inline checks scattered across
controllers.
- add authorizeOwnership + authorizeReviewOwnership middleware
(src/middlewares/authorize.js); on success the loaded doc is attached
to req so handlers can reuse it
- apply the guards to book delete, course update, space update/delete,
and review update/delete on books and courses; review create stays
purchase-gated
- record ownership denials to the audit log (authz.ownership.denied)
- remove the now-redundant inline ownership checks from the book,
course, space, and review controllers
- document the resource x action x role matrix (docs/authorization-matrix.md)
and cover it with an integration test suite (test/ownershipAuthz.test.js)

* fix(security): stop logging OTP codes and verification tokens in email bodies (#104)
The NODE_ENV === "test" branch of sendMail logged the full rendered email
body — including the password-reset OTP span and the verification link's
token query param — and pino's redact config cannot censor values baked
into interpolated strings, so the leak bypassed the app-wide redaction.
Remove the body from every log statement (log only recipient, subject, and
template id via structured fields), and give tests a sanctioned in-memory
outbox hook instead of log scraping. sendOtpEmail/sendVerificationEmail/
sendReceiptEmail now return the sendMail result so callers can capture it.
Closes #95
* fix(transactions): prevent TTL index from deleting confirmed purchases and donations (#103)
The Transaction collection used a blanket TTL index on expiresAt with a
schema default that stamped a 30-minute expiry on every row regardless of
status. Because confirm paths never cleared expiresAt, confirmed on-chain
purchases and donations were permanently reaped ~30 minutes after creation,
deleting the proof of payment and orphaning recorded earnings.
Scope the TTL index to status: "pending" via partialFilterExpression, make
the expiresAt default conditional on status, add a pre-save hook that clears
expiresAt for any terminal state, explicitly unset expiresAt on every
terminal transition (submit, donation, refund, dispute, cancel, job handler,
reconciliation promotion), and add an idempotent migration that rescues
legacy non-pending rows and rebuilds the index.

* feat(security): implement educator verification pipeline and content-creation gating (#92)
- Add EducatorVerification model with legal state-machine transitions
(draft -> pending -> approved/rejected, resubmit from rejected)
- Add verifiedEducator durable flag on User, set atomically on approval
- Add AUDIT_ACTIONS: EDUCATOR_VERIFY_SUBMIT/_RESUBMIT/_APPROVE/_REJECT
with metadata allowlist entries in auditService
- requireVerifiedEducator middleware (403 for unverified, admin bypass)
- Applicant API: submit/resubmit app, get own app, signed doc URLs,
signed Cloudinary upload-signature for private credential uploads
- Admin review queue: list+filter pending, view signed docs,
approve/reject with notes (Mongo transaction for verifiedEducator grant)
- Gate all content-creation routes:
* POST /api/courses (courseRoutes.js)
* POST /api/books (bookRoutes.js)
* POST /api/spaces (spaceRoutes.js — live sessions per issue)
- Wire routes: /api/educator-verification + /api/admin/educator-verification
- Comprehensive test suite in test/educatorVerification.test.js
(state-machine, middleware gating, submit/resubmit, approve/reject,
content 403/2xx, both full lifecycles submit->pending->approve and
reject->resubmit->approve, signed URL security, admin-only gating,
audit log instrumentation)
Verification Results:
app.test.js: 22/22 PASS (CI boot + endpoint health)
auditLog.test.js: 21/21 PASS (append-only, redaction, admin gate)
Closes #92
* fix(ci): resolve educator verification pipeline test failures
- Remove redundant catchAsync double-wrap in educator-verification routes
(controllers are already pre-wrapped; the outer wrap called .catch() on
undefined, returning 500 for every new endpoint)
- Use MongoMemoryReplSet in educatorVerification.test.js so the approve/reject
MongoDB transaction can run (standalone MongoMemoryServer cannot)
- Use AuditLog.collection.deleteMany in test cleanup to bypass append-only
pre-hooks
- Return recordAudit's promise so callers can await durability; await it in
submitApplication and performReview to eliminate the fire-and-forget
audit-race in tests
- Fix testAuth.js password overwrite: destructure password out of the
override spread so the hashed value is not clobbered by plaintext
- Seed bookUpload test user as a verifiedEducator mentor so the new content
gate lets it through

* feat(auth): signed service-to-service authentication for the AI service (#91) (#106)
Give the backend a real machine-to-machine auth channel for the AI
service (dnb-ai) — signed, scoped, rotatable keys instead of a single
static shared secret.
- add requireServiceAuth middleware (src/middlewares/serviceAuth.js):
HMAC-SHA256 over a canonical method/path/timestamp/body-digest string,
a ±300s replay window, constant-time signature comparison, per-key
scope enforcement, and req.service on success
- key store (src/config/serviceKeys.js): multiple active keys keyed by
kid for zero-downtime rotation; resilient env parsing, never throws
- mount a real internal route GET /api/internal/ai/whoami guarded by the
guard (scope ai:read-content), plus raw-body capture in app.js
- migrate /admin/jobs off raw !== to a length-guarded timingSafeEqual
- audit denials (service_auth.denied), require AI_SERVICE_KEYS in prod
(fail-fast), document the signing contract + rotation runbook
- cover the full accept/reject matrix in test/serviceAuth.test.js

* feat(webhooks): signed outbound webhook event system (#45) (#107)
Add an outbound webhook/event system so external consumers can subscribe
to payment and enrollment lifecycle events over HMAC-signed HTTP
callbacks, with retries, dead-lettering, and redelivery.
- models: WebhookEndpoint (encrypted secret at rest, subscribed events,
auto-disable counters) and WebhookDelivery (all scheduling state in the
doc: status, attemptCount, nextAttemptAt indexed)
- webhookService.emitEvent: typed event catalog, per-event id for
consumer idempotency, strict payload allowlist (no secrets/emails/user
docs); persists a delivery per subscribed endpoint after the txn
commits, never blocks or fails the request path, no-ops when the DB is
unavailable
- signing: X-DeenBridge-Signature v1=hmac-sha256(secret, `${ts}.${body}`)
over the exact sent bytes; timing-safe verify + 5-min staleness window
- deliveryWorker: atomic findOneAndUpdate claim (no double-send),
exponential backoff + jitter, dead-letter after max attempts, endpoint
auto-disable after sustained failures
- management API (/api/webhooks, admin-gated): endpoint CRUD, rotate
secret, list deliveries, redeliver (atomic $set), and ping
- SSRF guard: https-only in prod, reject loopback/RFC-1918/link-local
- wire emitters into payment (initialized/confirmed/failed/expired),
enrollment, and wallet connect/disconnect; migrate /admin/jobs to a
timing-safe token compare
- docs/webhooks.md consumer verifier + full offline test suite

* feat(stellar): gift courses/books via claimable balances with expiry reclaim (#116)
Adds a gift-a-course/book flow built on Stellar claimable balances so a
buyer can send an item to another user — including one who has not
finished wallet onboarding — without the recipient needing a USDC
trustline. The sender creates an on-ledger USDC balance the recipient
claims when ready, with a sender reclaim-after-expiry predicate so funds
are never stranded. Includes a GiftClaim model (no document-deleting TTL,
so the record survives expiry for reclaim), a claimableBalanceService
(build create/claim transactions with complementary predicates, resolve
the REAL balance id from the create result XDR — not the tx hash — with
a Horizon forClaimant fallback, and validate the signed gift XDR before
any state change), gift routes/controller at /api/stellar/gifts, and
granting item access to the RECIPIENT (never the payer) on claim. Wires
a `{ fallback: "claimable_balance" }` response into the purchase flow
when a creator wallet/trustline is missing. Tests cover predicate
decoding, trustline-free single-signature claiming, claim authorization
before/after expiry, the balance-id-vs-tx-hash distinction, tampered-XDR
rejection, guards mirroring initializePayment, and the recipient access
grant.
* feat(stellar): add idempotency protection to the Stellar payment endpoints (#115)
Makes /api/stellar/payment/initialize and /submit safe against
double-clicks, client retries, and concurrent duplicates. Submit is
naturally idempotent per transaction hash: the deterministic hash of
the signed XDR is looked up against confirmed transactions before any
processing, so a replayed submission returns the original success
response without re-granting access, with the unique index on
stellarTxHash as the database-level backstop (an E11000 on the confirm
save is treated as already processed). Initialize no longer piles up
duplicates: a pending checkout for the same user+item returns the
existing record (with its persisted unsigned XDR) instead of creating
a new document, and stale pending records are reaped by the existing
pending-only TTL index. Adds a stricter per-user rate limiter
(paymentLimiter) on the payment routes, keyed on the authenticated
user id with an IPv6-aware IP fallback. Covers duplicate-submit,
duplicate-initialize, the E11000 race, and limiter enforcement with
tests.
* feat(stellar): validate Stellar config at startup and document the mainnet switch (#114)
Adds a single source of truth for the Stellar network configuration
(src/config/stellar.js) that resolves the network name, network
passphrase, Horizon URLs, and USDC issuer from STELLAR_NETWORK, and
validates the whole setup fail-fast at boot so a misconfigured
deployment (bad network value, mainnet flag with testnet Horizon or
issuer) fails with an error naming the exact problem instead of at
request time. stellarService.js and horizonClient.js now consume this
module. Adds docs/MAINNET.md covering the env changes, creator
trustlines, and a first-mainnet-transaction smoke checklist, plus unit
tests for resolution and validation across both networks.
* feat(stellar): fee-bump sponsorship with structural whitelist and spend caps (#111)
Let the platform pay a user's Stellar network fee by wrapping the user-signed
transaction in a fee-bump signed by a dedicated fee-source account, so a user
holding USDC but ~no XLM can buy a book, buy a course, or donate. Opt-in per
submit via `requestSponsorship: true`; off by default and byte-for-byte
identical when disabled.
Guard rails (server signs on the platform's behalf):
- Structural whitelist (reject-by-default, allow-list of `payment` ops only):
source, exact op count/order, destinations, amounts (stroops), asset, and
memo must match the pending Transaction row exactly. Any foreign/extra
operation — including unknown future types — is rejected.
- Durable spend caps (SponsorshipSpend, keyed by UTC day): per-transaction fee
ceiling, per-day total, and per-user per-day count.
- Sponsor float pre-check so an underfunded sponsor never marks the user's
transaction failed.
Fee-bump fee is priced over inner ops + wrapper and clamped to the ceiling
(verified against @stellar/stellar-sdk v16 and asserted in tests). Sponsored
rows record `sponsored`, `sponsorFeeCharged`, and the fee-bump (outer) hash
alongside the inner hash. Sponsorship-specific failures return a distinct
non-fatal 4xx/503 with `retryUnsponsored: true` and never mark the row failed.

* feat(webhooks): signed outbound webhook event system (#45) (#107)
Add an outbound webhook/event system so external consumers can subscribe
to payment and enrollment lifecycle events over HMAC-signed HTTP
callbacks, with retries, dead-lettering, and redelivery.
- models: WebhookEndpoint (encrypted secret at rest, subscribed events,
auto-disable counters) and WebhookDelivery (all scheduling state in the

- webhookService.emitEvent: typed event catalog, per-event id for

commits, never blocks or fails the request path, no-ops when the DB is
unavailable

over the exact sent bytes; timing-safe verify + 5-min staleness window
- deliveryWorker: atomic findOneAndUpdate claim (no double-send),
exponential backoff + jitter, dead-letter after max attempts, endpoint

* feat(stellar): gift courses/books via claimable balances with expiry reclaim (#116)
Adds a gift-a-course/book flow built on Stellar claimable balances so a
buyer can send an item to another user — including one who has not
finished wallet onboarding — without the recipient needing a USDC
trustline. The sender creates an on-ledger USDC balance the recipient
claims when ready, with a sender reclaim-after-expiry predicate so funds
are never stranded. Includes a GiftClaim model (no document-deleting TTL,
so the record survives expiry for reclaim), a claimableBalanceService
(build create/claim transactions with complementary predicates, resolve
the REAL balance id from the create result XDR — not the tx hash — with
a Horizon forClaimant fallback, and validate the signed gift XDR before
any state change), gift routes/controller at /api/stellar/gifts, and
granting item access to the RECIPIENT (never the payer) on claim. Wires
a `{ fallback: "claimable_balance" }` response into the purchase flow
when a creator wallet/trustline is missing. Tests cover predicate
decoding, trustline-free single-signature claiming, claim authorization
before/after expiry, the balance-id-vs-tx-hash distinction, tampered-XDR
rejection, guards mirroring initializePayment, and the recipient access
grant.
* feat(stellar): add idempotency protection to the Stellar payment endpoints (#115)
Makes /api/stellar/payment/initialize and /submit safe against
double-clicks, client retries, and concurrent duplicates. Submit is
naturally idempotent per transaction hash: the deterministic hash of
the signed XDR is looked up against confirmed transactions before any
processing, so a replayed submission returns the original success
response without re-granting access, with the unique index on
stellarTxHash as the database-level backstop (an E11000 on the confirm
save is treated as already processed). Initialize no longer piles up
duplicates: a pending checkout for the same user+item returns the
existing record (with its persisted unsigned XDR) instead of creating
a new document, and stale pending records are reaped by the existing
pending-only TTL index. Adds a stricter per-user rate limiter
(paymentLimiter) on the payment routes, keyed on the authenticated
user id with an IPv6-aware IP fallback. Covers duplicate-submit,
duplicate-initialize, the E11000 race, and limiter enforcement with
tests.
* feat(stellar): validate Stellar config at startup and document the mainnet switch (#114)
Adds a single source of truth for the Stellar network configuration
(src/config/stellar.js) that resolves the network name, network
passphrase, Horizon URLs, and USDC issuer from STELLAR_NETWORK, and
validates the whole setup fail-fast at boot so a misconfigured
deployment (bad network value, mainnet flag with testnet Horizon or
issuer) fails with an error naming the exact problem instead of at
request time. stellarService.js and horizonClient.js now consume this
module. Adds docs/MAINNET.md covering the env changes, creator
trustlines, and a first-mainnet-transaction smoke checklist, plus unit
tests for resolution and validation across both networks.
* feat(stellar): fee-bump sponsorship with structural whitelist and spend caps (#111)
Let the platform pay a user's Stellar network fee by wrapping the user-signed
transaction in a fee-bump signed by a dedicated fee-source account, so a user
holding USDC but ~no XLM can buy a book, buy a course, or donate. Opt-in per
submit via `requestSponsorship: true`; off by default and byte-for-byte
identical when disabled.
Guard rails (server signs on the platform's behalf):
- Structural whitelist (reject-by-default, allow-list of `payment` ops only):
source, exact op count/order, destinations, amounts (stroops), asset, and
memo must match the pending Transaction row exactly. Any foreign/extra
operation — including unknown future types — is rejected.
- Durable spend caps (SponsorshipSpend, keyed by UTC day): per-transaction fee
ceiling, per-day total, and per-user per-day count.
- Sponsor float pre-check so an underfunded sponsor never marks the user's
transaction failed.
Fee-bump fee is priced over inner ops + wrapper and clamped to the ceiling
(verified against @stellar/stellar-sdk v16 and asserted in tests). Sponsored
rows record `sponsored`, `sponsorFeeCharged`, and the fee-bump (outer) hash
alongside the inner hash. Sponsorship-specific failures return a distinct
non-fatal 4xx/503 with `retryUnsponsored: true` and never mark the row failed.
- Config: FEE_SPONSOR_* in .env.example + validateEnv (fail-fast at boot when
enabled with a missing/invalid secret); secret never logged or returned.
- Admin status endpoint GET /api/stellar/payment/sponsorship/status exposes the
sponsor public key, live float, caps, and today's spend.
- Prometheus counters for approved/rejected sponsorship decisions.
- Docs: docs/fee-sponsorship.md, README, and openapi.yaml.
- Tests: feeSponsorService (whitelist adversarial matrix, fee correctness,
inner-untouched, caps, secret handling, boot config) and feeSponsorSubmit
(payment + donation flag-off regression, flag-on sponsorship, cap/whitelist
rejections that don't fail the row).

* feat(auth): harden authentication against login lockout, breached passwords, and signup abuse (#89)
- Add progressive per-account login lockout (failedLoginAttempts + lockUntil) with env-configurable escalating backoff, generic 429 while locked, and AUTH_ACCOUNT_LOCKED audit emission.
- Add HaveIBeenPwned breached-password check (SHA-1 prefix k-anonymity, never transmits the password) at register and password reset; fails open on outage.
- Add per-email throttling on /register and /resend-verification (emailAuthLimiter, survives IP rotation, active in test env) plus a pluggable captcha gate (no-op when unconfigured).
- Add User lockout fields and document new env vars in .env.example.
* fix(auth): address CodeRabbit review on login lockout, HIBP, captcha, and JWT secret (#89)
- loginUser: locked accounts now return the same generic 401 'Invalid credentials'
as a nonexistent account (no enumeration); failed-login counter incremented
atomically via findByIdAndUpdate \, lock persisted via updateOne
- resetPassword: breached-password check moved to after successful OTP validation
so unauthenticated callers cannot trigger HIBP lookups
- authController: refuse to start when JWT_SECRET is missing (no hardcoded fallback)
- hibp: request HIBP padding ('Add-Padding: true') and ignore zero-count records
- captcha: configurable CAPTCHA_TIMEOUT_MS (default 5s) passed to the provider call;
captcha rejection now returns the standard { success, message, data: null } shape
- tests: assert escalating backoff magnitude (120s on 6th failure) and the 24h cap;
locked-account test expects 401; per-email limiter buckets reset between tests;
outage test routed through mockHibp so the shared spy is cleaned up; added
padding-record and cap coverage

* feat(auth): enforce resource ownership across mutating endpoints (#88) (#105)
Add a centralized authorization layer that verifies the authenticated
user owns the target resource (or is an admin) before any mutating
handler runs, replacing the ad-hoc inline checks scattered across
controllers.
- add authorizeOwnership + authorizeReviewOwnership middleware
(src/middlewares/authorize.js); on success the loaded doc is attached
to req so handlers can reuse it
- apply the guards to book delete, course update, space update/delete,
and review update/delete on books and courses; review create stays
purchase-gated
- record ownership denials to the audit log (authz.ownership.denied)
- remove the now-redundant inline ownership checks from the book,
course, space, and review controllers
- document the resource x action x role matrix (docs/authorization-matrix.md)
and cover it with an integration test suite (test/ownershipAuthz.test.js)

* fix(security): stop logging OTP codes and verification tokens in email bodies (#104)
The NODE_ENV === "test" branch of sendMail logged the full rendered email
body — including the password-reset OTP span and the verification link's
token query param — and pino's redact config cannot censor values baked
into interpolated strings, so the leak bypassed the app-wide redaction.
Remove the body from every log statement (log only recipient, subject, and
template id via structured fields), and give tests a sanctioned in-memory
outbox hook instead of log scraping. sendOtpEmail/sendVerificationEmail/
sendReceiptEmail now return the sendMail result so callers can capture it.
Closes #95
* fix(transactions): prevent TTL index from deleting confirmed purchases and donations (#103)
The Transaction collection used a blanket TTL index on expiresAt with a
schema default that stamped a 30-minute expiry on every row regardless of
status. Because confirm paths never cleared expiresAt, confirmed on-chain
purchases and donations were permanently reaped ~30 minutes after creation,
deleting the proof of payment and orphaning recorded earnings.
Scope the TTL index to status: "pending" via partialFilterExpression, make
the expiresAt default conditional on status, add a pre-save hook that clears
expiresAt for any terminal state, explicitly unset expiresAt on every
terminal transition (submit, donation, refund, dispute, cancel, job handler,
reconciliation promotion), and add an idempotent migration that rescues
legacy non-pending rows and rebuilds the index.
Closes #94
* feat(security): implement educator verification pipeline and content-creation gating (#92) (#102)
* feat(security): implement educator verification pipeline and content-creation gating (#92)
- Add EducatorVerification model with legal state-machine transitions
(draft -> pending -> approved/rejected, resubmit from rejected)
- Add verifiedEducator durable flag on User, set atomically on approval
- Add AUDIT_ACTIONS: EDUCATOR_VERIFY_SUBMIT/_RESUBMIT/_APPROVE/_REJECT
with metadata allowlist entries in auditService
- requireVerifiedEducator middleware (403 for unverified, admin bypass)
- Applicant API: submit/resubmit app, get own app, signed doc URLs,
signed Cloudinary upload-signature for private credential uploads
- Admin review queue: list+filter pending, view signed docs,
approve/reject with notes (Mongo transaction for verifiedEducator grant)
- Gate all content-creation routes:
* POST /api/courses (courseRoutes.js)
* POST /api/books (bookRoutes.js)
* POST /api/spaces (spaceRoutes.js — live sessions per issue)
- Wire routes: /api/educator-verification + /api/admin/educator-verification
- Comprehensive test suite in test/educatorVerification.test.js
(state-machine, middleware gating, submit/resubmit, approve/reject,
content 403/2xx, both full lifecycles submit->pending->approve and
reject->resubmit->approve, signed URL security, admin-only gating,
audit log instrumentation)
Verification Results:
app.test.js: 22/22 PASS (CI boot + endpoint health)
auditLog.test.js: 21/21 PASS (append-only, redaction, admin gate)
Closes #92
* fix(ci): resolve educator verification pipeline test failures
- Remove redundant catchAsync double-wrap in educator-verification routes
(controllers are already pre-wrapped; the outer wrap called .catch() on
undefined, returning 500 for every new endpoint)
- Use MongoMemoryReplSet in educatorVerification.test.js so the approve/reject
MongoDB transaction can run (standalone MongoMemoryServer cannot)
- Use AuditLog.collection.deleteMany in test cleanup to bypass append-only
pre-hooks
- Return recordAudit's promise so callers can await durability; await it in
submitApplication and performReview to eliminate the fire-and-forget
audit-race in tests
- Fix testAuth.js password overwrite: destructure password out of the
override spread so the hashed value is not clobbered by plaintext
- Seed bookUpload test user as a verifiedEducator mentor so the new content
gate lets it through

* feat(stellar): fee-bump sponsorship with structural whitelist and spend caps (#111)
Let the platform pay a user's Stellar network fee by wrapping the user-signed
transaction in a fee-bump signed by a dedicated fee-source account, so a user
holding USDC but ~no XLM can buy a book, buy a course, or donate. Opt-in per
submit via `requestSponsorship: true`; off by default and byte-for-byte
identical when disabled.
Guard rails (server signs on the platform's behalf):
- Structural whitelist (reject-by-default, allow-list of `payment` ops only):
source, exact op count/order, destinations, amounts (stroops), asset, and
memo must match the pending Transaction row exactly. Any foreign/extra
operation — including unknown future types — is rejected.
- Durable spend caps (SponsorshipSpend, keyed by UTC day): per-transaction fee
ceiling, per-day total, and per-user per-day count.
- Sponsor float pre-check so an underfunded sponsor never marks the user's
transaction failed.
Fee-bump fee is priced over inner ops + wrapper and clamped to the ceiling
(verified against @stellar/stellar-sdk v16 and asserted in tests). Sponsored
rows record `sponsored`, `sponsorFeeCharged`, and the fee-bump (outer) hash
alongside the inner hash. Sponsorship-specific failures return a distinct
non-fatal 4xx/503 with `retryUnsponsored: true` and never mark the row failed.
- Config: FEE_SPONSOR_* in .env.example + validateEnv (fail-fast at boot when
enabled with a missing/invalid secret); secret never logged or returned.
- Admin status endpoint GET /api/stellar/payment/sponsorship/status exposes the
sponsor public key, live float, caps, and today's spend.
- Prometheus counters for approved/rejected sponsorship decisions.
- Docs: docs/fee-sponsorship.md, README, and openapi.yaml.
- Tests: feeSponsorService (whitelist adversarial matrix, fee correctness,
inner-untouched, caps, secret handling, boot config) and feeSponsorSubmit
(payment + donation flag-off regression, flag-on sponsorship, cap/whitelist
rejections that don't fail the row).

On-Chain Giving escrow is discoverable from /.well-known/stellar.toml. Set
GIVING_ESCROW_CONTRACT_ID to enable. Includes test coverage.

- Add HaveIBeenPwned breached-password check (SHA-1 prefix k-anonymity, never transmits the password) at register and password reset; fails open on outage.
- Add per-email throttling on /register and /resend-verification (emailAuthLimiter, survives IP rotation, active in test env) plus a pluggable captcha gate (no-op when unconfigured).
- Add User lockout fields and document new env vars in .env.example.
* fix(auth): address CodeRabbit review on login lockout, HIBP, captcha, and JWT secret (#89)
- loginUser: locked accounts now return the same generic 401 'Invalid credentials'

atomically via findByIdAndUpdate \, lock persisted via updateOne
- resetPassword: breached-password check moved to after successful OTP validation
so unauthenticated callers cannot trigger HIBP lookups
- authController: refuse to start when JWT_SECRET is missing (no hardcoded fallback)
- hibp: request HIBP padding ('Add-Padding: true') and ignore zero-count records
- captcha: configurable CAPTCHA_TIMEOUT_MS (default 5s) passed to the provider call;
captcha rejection now returns the standard { success, message, data: null } shape
- tests: assert escalating backoff magnitude (120s on 6th failure) and the 24h cap;
locked-account test expects 401; per-email limiter buckets reset between tests;
outage test routed through mockHibp so the shared spy is cleaned up; added

* feat(auth): enforce resource ownership across mutating endpoints (#88) (#105)
Add a centralized authorization layer that verifies the authenticated
user owns the target resource (or is an admin) before any mutating
handler runs, replacing the ad-hoc inline checks scattered across
controllers.
- add authorizeOwnership + authorizeReviewOwnership middleware
(src/middlewares/authorize.js); on success the loaded doc is attached
to req so handlers can reuse it
- apply the guards to book delete, course update, space update/delete,
and review update/delete on books and courses; review create stays
purchase-gated
- record ownership denials to the audit log (authz.ownership.denied)
- remove the now-redundant inline ownership checks from the book,
course, space, and review controllers
- document the resource x action x role matrix (docs/authorization-matrix.md)
and cover it with an integration test suite (test/ownershipAuthz.test.js)

* fix(security): stop logging OTP codes and verification tokens in email bodies (#104)
The NODE_ENV === "test" branch of sendMail logged the full rendered email
body — including the password-reset OTP span and the verification link's
token query param — and pino's redact config cannot censor values baked
into interpolated strings, so the leak bypassed the app-wide redaction.
Remove the body from every log statement (log only recipient, subject, and
template id via structured fields), and give tests a sanctioned in-memory
outbox hook instead of log scraping. sendOtpEmail/sendVerificationEmail/
sendReceiptEmail now return the sendMail result so callers can capture it.
Closes #95
* fix(transactions): prevent TTL index from deleting confirmed purchases and donations (#103)
The Transaction collection used a blanket TTL index on expiresAt with a
schema default that stamped a 30-minute expiry on every row regardless of
status. Because confirm paths never cleared expiresAt, confirmed on-chain
purchases and donations were permanently reaped ~30 minutes after creation,
deleting the proof of payment and orphaning recorded earnings.
Scope the TTL index to status: "pending" via partialFilterExpression, make
the expiresAt default conditional on status, add a pre-save hook that clears
expiresAt for any terminal state, explicitly unset expiresAt on every
terminal transition (submit, donation, refund, dispute, cancel, job handler,
reconciliation promotion), and add an idempotent migration that rescues
legacy non-pending rows and rebuilds the index.

* feat(security): implement educator verification pipeline and content-creation gating (#92)
- Add EducatorVerification model with legal state-machine transitions
(draft -> pending -> approved/rejected, resubmit from rejected)
- Add verifiedEducator durable flag on User, set atomically on approval
- Add AUDIT_ACTIONS: EDUCATOR_VERIFY_SUBMIT/_RESUBMIT/_APPROVE/_REJECT
with metadata allowlist entries in auditService
- requireVerifiedEducator middleware (403 for unverified, admin bypass)
- Applicant API: submit/resubmit app, get own app, signed doc URLs,
signed Cloudinary upload-signature for private credential uploads
- Admin review queue: list+filter pending, view signed docs,
approve/reject with notes (Mongo transaction for verifiedEducator grant)
- Gate all content-creation routes:
* POST /api/courses (courseRoutes.js)
* POST /api/books (bookRoutes.js)
* POST /api/spaces (spaceRoutes.js — live sessions per issue)
- Wire routes: /api/educator-verification + /api/admin/educator-verification
- Comprehensive test suite in test/educatorVerification.test.js
(state-machine, middleware gating, submit/resubmit, approve/reject,
content 403/2xx, both full lifecycles submit->pending->approve and
reject->resubmit->approve, signed URL security, admin-only gating,
audit log instrumentation)
Verification Results:
app.test.js: 22/22 PASS (CI boot + endpoint health)
auditLog.test.js: 21/21 PASS (append-only, redaction, admin gate)
Closes #92
* fix(ci): resolve educator verification pipeline test failures
- Remove redundant catchAsync double-wrap in educator-verification routes
(controllers are already pre-wrapped; the outer wrap called .catch() on
undefined, returning 500 for every new endpoint)
- Use MongoMemoryReplSet in educatorVerification.test.js so the approve/reject
MongoDB transaction can run (standalone MongoMemoryServer cannot)
- Use AuditLog.collection.deleteMany in test cleanup to bypass append-only
pre-hooks
- Return recordAudit's promise so callers can await durability; await it in
submitApplication and performReview to eliminate the fire-and-forget
audit-race in tests
- Fix testAuth.js password overwrite: destructure password out of the
override spread so the hashed value is not clobbered by plaintext
- Seed bookUpload test user as a verifiedEducator mentor so the new content
gate lets it through

* feat(auth): signed service-to-service authentication for the AI service (#91) (#106)
Give the backend a real machine-to-machine auth channel for the AI
service (dnb-ai) — signed, scoped, rotatable keys instead of a single
static shared secret.
- add requireServiceAuth middleware (src/middlewares/serviceAuth.js):
HMAC-SHA256 over a canonical method/path/timestamp/body-digest string,
a ±300s replay window, constant-time signature comparison, per-key
scope enforcement, and req.service on success
- key store (src/config/serviceKeys.js): multiple active keys keyed by
kid for zero-downtime rotation; resilient env parsing, never throws
- mount a real internal route GET /api/internal/ai/whoami guarded by the
guard (scope ai:read-content), plus raw-body capture in app.js
- migrate /admin/jobs off raw !== to a length-guarded timingSafeEqual
- audit denials (service_auth.denied), require AI_SERVICE_KEYS in prod
(fail-fast), document the signing contract + rotation runbook
- cover the full accept/reject matrix in test/serviceAuth.test.js

* feat(webhooks): signed outbound webhook event system (#45) (#107)
Add an outbound webhook/event system so external consumers can subscribe
to payment and enrollment lifecycle events over HMAC-signed HTTP
callbacks, with retries, dead-lettering, and redelivery.
- models: WebhookEndpoint (encrypted secret at rest, subscribed events,
auto-disable counters) and WebhookDelivery (all scheduling state in the
doc: status, attemptCount, nextAttemptAt indexed)
- webhookService.emitEvent: typed event catalog, per-event id for
consumer idempotency, strict payload allowlist (no secrets/emails/user
docs); persists a delivery per subscribed endpoint after the txn
commits, never blocks or fails the request path, no-ops when the DB is
unavailable
- signing: X-DeenBridge-Signature v1=hmac-sha256(secret, `${ts}.${body}`)
over the exact sent bytes; timing-safe verify + 5-min staleness window
- deliveryWorker: atomic findOneAndUpdate claim (no double-send),
exponential backoff + jitter, dead-letter after max attempts, endpoint
auto-disable after sustained failures
- management API (/api/webhooks, admin-gated): endpoint CRUD, rotate
secret, list deliveries, redeliver (atomic $set), and ping
- SSRF guard: https-only in prod, reject loopback/RFC-1918/link-local
- wire emitters into payment (initialized/confirmed/failed/expired),
enrollment, and wallet connect/disconnect; migrate /admin/jobs to a
timing-safe token compare

* feat(stellar): gift courses/books via claimable balances with expiry reclaim (#116)
Adds a gift-a-course/book flow built on Stellar claimable balances so a
buyer can send an item to another user — including one who has not
finished wallet onboarding — without the recipient needing a USDC
trustline. The sender creates an on-ledger USDC balance the recipient
claims when ready, with a sender reclaim-after-expiry predicate so funds
are never stranded. Includes a GiftClaim model (no document-deleting TTL,
so the record survives expiry for reclaim), a claimableBalanceService
(build create/claim transactions with complementary predicates, resolve
the REAL balance id from the create result XDR — not the tx hash — with
a Horizon forClaimant fallback, and validate the signed gift XDR before
any state change), gift routes/controller at /api/stellar/gifts, and
granting item access to the RECIPIENT (never the payer) on claim. Wires
a `{ fallback: "claimable_balance" }` response into the purchase flow
when a creator wallet/trustline is missing. Tests cover predicate
decoding, trustline-free single-signature claiming, claim authorization
before/after expiry, the balance-id-vs-tx-hash distinction, tampered-XDR
rejection, guards mirroring initializePayment, and the recipient access
grant.
* feat(stellar): add idempotency protection to the Stellar payment endpoints (#115)
Makes /api/stellar/payment/initialize and /submit safe against
double-clicks, client retries, and concurrent duplicates. Submit is
naturally idempotent per transaction hash: the deterministic hash of
the signed XDR is looked up against confirmed transactions before any
processing, so a replayed submission returns the original success
response without re-granting access, with the unique index on
stellarTxHash as the database-level backstop (an E11000 on the confirm
save is treated as already processed). Initialize no longer piles up
duplicates: a pending checkout for the same user+item returns the
existing record (with its persisted unsigned XDR) instead of creating
a new document, and stale pending records are reaped by the existing
pending-only TTL index. Adds a stricter per-user rate limiter
(paymentLimiter) on the payment routes, keyed on the authenticated
user id with an IPv6-aware IP fallback. Covers duplicate-submit,
duplicate-initialize, the E11000 race, and limiter enforcement with
tests.
* feat(stellar): validate Stellar config at startup and document the mainnet switch (#114)
Adds a single source of truth for the Stellar network configuration
(src/config/stellar.js) that resolves the network name, network
passphrase, Horizon URLs, and USDC issuer from STELLAR_NETWORK, and
validates the whole setup fail-fast at boot so a misconfigured
deployment (bad network value, mainnet flag with testnet Horizon or
issuer) fails with an error naming the exact problem instead of at
request time. stellarService.js and horizonClient.js now consume this
module. Adds docs/MAINNET.md covering the env changes, creator
trustlines, and a first-mainnet-transaction smoke checklist, plus unit
tests for resolution and validation across both networks.
* feat(stellar): fee-bump sponsorship with structural whitelist and spend caps (#111)
Let the platform pay a user's Stellar network fee by wrapping the user-signed

holding USDC but ~no XLM can buy a book, buy a course, or donate. Opt-in per

* fix(transactions): prevent TTL index from deleting confirmed purchases and donations (#103)
The Transaction collection used a blanket TTL index on expiresAt with a
schema default that stamped a 30-minute expiry on every row regardless of
status. Because confirm paths never cleared expiresAt, confirmed on-chain
purchases and donations were permanently reaped ~30 minutes after creation,
deleting the proof of payment and orphaning recorded earnings.
Scope the TTL index to status: "pending" via partialFilterExpression, make
the expiresAt default conditional on status, add a pre-save hook that clears
expiresAt for any terminal state, explicitly unset expiresAt on every
terminal transition (submit, donation, refund, dispute, cancel, job handler,
reconciliation promotion), and add an idempotent migration that rescues
legacy non-pending rows and rebuilds the index.

* Secure book deletion authorization (#113)

* feat(stellar): gift courses/books via claimable balances with expiry reclaim (#116)
Adds a gift-a-course/book flow built on Stellar claimable balances so a
buyer can send an item to another user — including one who has not
finished wallet onboarding — without the recipient needing a USDC
trustline. The sender creates an on-ledger USDC balance the recipient
claims when ready, with a sender reclaim-after-expiry predicate so funds
are never stranded. Includes a GiftClaim model (no document-deleting TTL,
so the record survives expiry for reclaim), a claimableBalanceService
(build create/claim transactions with complementary predicates, resolve
the REAL balance id from the create result XDR — not the tx hash — with
a Horizon forClaimant fallback, and validate the signed gift XDR before
any state change), gift routes/controller at /api/stellar/gifts, and
granting item access to the RECIPIENT (never the payer) on claim. Wires
a `{ fallback: "claimable_balance" }` response into the purchase flow
when a creator wallet/trustline is missing. Tests cover predicate
decoding, trustline-free single-signature claiming, claim authorization
before/after expiry, the balance-id-vs-tx-hash distinction, tampered-XDR
rejection, guards mirroring initializePayment, and the recipient access
grant.
* feat(stellar): add idempotency protection to the Stellar payment endpoints (#115)
Makes /api/stellar/payment/initialize and /submit safe against
double-clicks, client retries, and concurrent duplicates. Submit is
naturally idempotent per transaction hash: the deterministic hash of
the signed XDR is looked up against confirmed transactions before any
processing, so a replayed submission returns the original success
response without re-granting access, with the unique index on
stellarTxHash as the database-level backstop (an E11000 on the confirm
save is treated as already processed). Initialize no longer piles up
duplicates: a pending checkout for the same user+item returns the
existing record (with its persisted unsigned XDR) instead of creating
a new document, and stale pending records are reaped by the existing
pending-only TTL index. Adds a stricter per-user rate limiter
(paymentLimiter) on the payment routes, keyed on the authenticated
user id with an IPv6-aware IP fallback. Covers duplicate-submit,
duplicate-initialize, the E11000 race, and limiter enforcement with
tests.
* feat(stellar): validate Stellar config at startup and document the mainnet switch (#114)
Adds a single source of truth for the Stellar network configuration
(src/config/stellar.js) that resolves the network name, network
passphrase, Horizon URLs, and USDC issuer from STELLAR_NETWORK, and
validates the whole setup fail-fast at boot so a misconfigured
deployment (bad network value, mainnet flag with testnet Horizon or
issuer) fails with an error naming the exact problem instead of at
request time. stellarService.js and horizonClient.js now consume this
module. Adds docs/MAINNET.md covering the env changes, creator
trustlines, and a first-mainnet-transaction smoke checklist, plus unit
tests for resolution and validation across both networks.
* feat(stellar): fee-bump sponsorship with structural whitelist and spend caps (#111)
Let the platform pay a user's Stellar network fee by wrapping the user-signed
transaction in a fee-bump signed by a dedicated fee-source account, so a user
holding USDC but ~no XLM can buy a book, buy a course, or donate. Opt-in per
submit via `requestSponsorship: true`; off by default and byte-for-byte
identical when disabled.
Guard rails (server signs on the platform's behalf):
- Structural whitelist (reject-by-default, allow-list of `payment` ops only):
source, exact op count/order, destinations, amounts (stroops), asset, and
memo must match the pending Transaction row exactly. Any foreign/extra
operation — including unknown future types — is rejected.
- Durable spend caps (SponsorshipSpend, keyed by UTC day): per-transaction fee
ceiling, per-day total, and per-user per-day count.
- Sponsor float pre-check so an underfunded sponsor never marks the user's
transaction failed.
Fee-bump fee is priced over inner ops + wrapper and clamped to the ceiling
(verified against @stellar/stellar-sdk v16 and asserted in tests). Sponsored
rows record `sponsored`, `sponsorFeeCharged`, and the fee-bump (outer) hash
alongside the inner hash. Sponsorship-specific failures return a distinct
non-fatal 4xx/503 with `retryUnsponsored: true` and never mark the row failed.
- Config: FEE_SPONSOR_* in .env.example + validateEnv (fail-fast at boot when
enabled with a missing/invalid secret); secret never logged or returned.
- Admin status endpoint GET /api/stellar/payment/sponsorship/status exposes the
sponsor public key, live float, caps, and today's spend.
- Prometheus counters for approved/rejected sponsorship decisions.
- Docs: docs/fee-sponsorship.md, README, and openapi.yaml.
- Tests: feeSponsorService (whitelist adversarial matrix, fee correctness,
inner-untouched, caps, secret handling, boot config) and feeSponsorSubmit
(payment + donation flag-off regression, flag-on sponsorship, cap/whitelist
rejections that don't fail the row).

- captcha: configurable CAPTCHA_TIMEOUT_MS (default 5s) passed to the provider call;
captcha rejection now returns the standard { success, message, data: null } shape
- tests: assert escalating backoff magnitude (120s on 6th failure) and the 24h cap;
locked-account test expects 401; per-email limiter buckets reset between tests;
outage test routed through mockHibp so the shared spy is cleaned up; added

* feat(stellar): gift courses/books via claimable balances with expiry reclaim (#116)
Adds a gift-a-course/book flow built on Stellar claimable balances so a
buyer can send an item to another user — including one who has not
finished wallet onboarding — without the recipient needing a USDC
trustline. The sender creates an on-ledger USDC balance the recipient
claims when ready, with a sender reclaim-after-expiry predicate so funds
are never stranded. Includes a GiftClaim model (no document-deleting TTL,
so the record survives expiry for reclaim), a claimableBalanceService
(build create/claim transactions with complementary predicates, resolve
the REAL balance id from the create result XDR — not the tx hash — with
a Horizon forClaimant fallback, and validate the signed gift XDR before
any state change), gift routes/controller at /api/stellar/gifts, and
granting item access to the RECIPIENT (never the payer) on claim. Wires
a `{ fallback: "claimable_balance" }` response into the purchase flow
when a creator wallet/trustline is missing. Tests cover predicate
decoding, trustline-free single-signature claiming, claim authorization
before/after expiry, the balance-id-vs-tx-hash distinction, tampered-XDR
rejection, guards mirroring initializePayment, and the recipient access
grant.
* feat(stellar): add idempotency protection to the Stellar payment endpoints (#115)
Makes /api/stellar/payment/initialize and /submit safe against
double-clicks, client retries, and concurrent duplicates. Submit is
naturally idempotent per transaction hash: the deterministic hash of
the signed XDR is looked up against confirmed transactions before any
processing, so a replayed submission returns the original success
response without re-granting access, with the unique index on
stellarTxHash as the database-level backstop (an E11000 on the confirm
save is treated as already processed). Initialize no longer piles up
duplicates: a pending checkout for the same user+item returns the
existing record (with its persisted unsigned XDR) instead of creating
a new document, and stale pending records are reaped by the existing
pending-only TTL index. Adds a stricter per-user rate limiter
(paymentLimiter) on the payment routes, keyed on the authenticated
user id with an IPv6-aware IP fallback. Covers duplicate-submit,
duplicate-initialize, the E11000 race, and limiter enforcement with
tests.
* feat(stellar): validate Stellar config at startup and document the mainnet switch (#114)
Adds a single source of truth for the Stellar network configuration
(src/config/stellar.js) that resolves the network name, network
passphrase, Horizon URLs, and USDC issuer from STELLAR_NETWORK, and
validates the whole setup fail-fast at boot so a misconfigured
deployment (bad network value, mainnet flag with testnet Horizon or
issuer) fails with an error naming the exact problem instead of at
request time. stellarService.js and horizonClient.js now consume this
module. Adds docs/MAINNET.md covering the env changes, creator
trustlines, and a first-mainnet-transaction smoke checklist, plus unit
tests for resolution and validation across both networks.
* feat(stellar): fee-bump sponsorship with structural whitelist and spend caps (#111)
Let the platform pay a user's Stellar network fee by wrapping the user-signed
transaction in a fee-bump signed by a dedicated fee-source account, so a user
holding USDC but ~no XLM can buy a book, buy a course, or donate. Opt-in per
submit via `requestSponsorship: true`; off by default and byte-for-byte
identical when disabled.
Guard rails (server signs on the platform's behalf):
- Structural whitelist (reject-by-default, allow-list of `payment` ops only):
source, exact op count/order, destinations, amounts (stroops), asset, and
memo must match the pending Transaction row exactly. Any foreign/extra
operation — including unknown future types — is rejected.
- Durable spend caps (SponsorshipSpend, keyed by UTC day): per-transaction fee
ceiling, per-day total, and per-user per-day count.
- Sponsor float pre-check so an underfunded sponsor never marks the user's
transaction failed.
Fee-bump fee is priced over inner ops + wrapper and clamped to the ceiling
(verified against @stellar/stellar-sdk v16 and asserted in tests). Sponsored
rows record `sponsored`, `sponsorFeeCharged`, and the fee-bump (outer) hash
alongside the inner hash. Sponsorship-specific failures return a distinct
non-fatal 4xx/503 with `retryUnsponsored: true` and never mark the row failed.
- Config: FEE_SPONSOR_* in .env.example + validateEnv (fail-fast at boot when
enabled with a missing/invalid secret); secret never logged or returned.
- Admin status endpoint GET /api/stellar/payment/sponsorship/status exposes the
sponsor public key, live float, caps, and today's spend.
- Prometheus counters for approved/rejected sponsorship decisions.
- Docs: docs/fee-sponsorship.md, README, and openapi.yaml.
- Tests: feeSponsorService (whitelist adversarial matrix, fee correctness,
inner-untouched, caps, secret handling, boot config) and feeSponsorSubmit
(payment + donation flag-off regression, flag-on sponsorship, cap/whitelist
rejections that don't fail the row).

* feat(stellar): publish Soroban giving-escrow contract id in stellar.toml
Adds env-driven GIVING_ESCROW_CONTRACT (custom, non-SEP-1) so the deployed
On-Chain Giving escrow is discoverable from /.well-known/stellar.toml. Set
GIVING_ESCROW_CONTRACT_ID to enable. Includes test coverage.
* fix(stellar): resolve Horizon endpoints lazily + network-aware default
Horizon client was constructed at import time with a hardcoded testnet
fallback, so a mainnet deploy with HORIZON_URLS unset would silently talk to
testnet Horizon. Now the default is derived from STELLAR_NETWORK and the client
is built lazily on first use (after env is loaded). Explicit HORIZON_URLS still wins.
* feat(auth): authenticated change-password endpoint
PUT /api/auth/change-password (protected): verifies current password,
enforces the password policy, updates the hash, and signs out all other
sessions. Adds the auth.password_change audit action.
* feat(auth): harden authentication against login lockout, breached passwords, and signup abuse (#89) (#99)
* feat(auth): harden authentication against login lockout, breached passwords, and signup abuse (#89)
- Add progressive per-account login lockout (failedLoginAttempts + lockUntil) with env-configurable escalating backoff, generic 429 while locked, and AUTH_ACCOUNT_LOCKED audit emission.
- Add HaveIBeenPwned breached-password check (SHA-1 prefix k-anonymity, never transmits the password) at register and password reset; fails open on outage.
- Add per-email throttling on /register and /resend-verification (emailAuthLimiter, survives IP rotation, active in test env) plus a pluggable captcha gate (no-op when unconfigured).
- Add User lockout fields and document new env vars in .env.example.
* fix(auth): address CodeRabbit review on login lockout, HIBP, captcha, and JWT secret (#89)
- loginUser: locked accounts now return the same generic 401 'Invalid credentials'
as a nonexistent account (no enumeration); failed-login counter incremented
atomically via findByIdAndUpdate \, lock persisted via updateOne
- resetPassword: breached-password check moved to after successful OTP validation
so unauthenticated callers cannot trigger HIBP lookups
- authController: refuse to start when JWT_SECRET is missing (no hardcoded fallback)
- hibp: request HIBP padding ('Add-Padding: true') and ignore zero-count records
- captcha: configurable CAPTCHA_TIMEOUT_MS (default 5s) passed to the provider call;
captcha rejection now returns the standard { success, message, data: null } shape
- tests: assert escalating backoff magnitude (120s on 6th failure) and the 24h cap;
locked-account test expects 401; per-email limiter buckets reset between tests;
outage test routed through mockHibp so the shared spy is cleaned up; added
padding-record and cap coverage

* feat(auth): enforce resource ownership across mutating endpoints (#88) (#105)
Add a centralized authorization layer that verifies the authenticated
user owns the target resource (or is an admin) before any mutating
handler runs, replacing the ad-hoc inline checks scattered across
controllers.
- add authorizeOwnership + authorizeReviewOwnership middleware
(src/middlewares/authorize.js); on success the loaded doc is attached
to req so handlers can reuse it
- apply the guards to book delete, course update, space update/delete,
and review update/delete on books and courses; review create stays
purchase-gated
- record ownership denials to the audit log (authz.ownership.denied)
- remove the now-redundant inline ownership checks from the book,
course, space, and review controllers
- document the resource x action x role matrix (docs/authorization-matrix.md)
and cover it with an integration test suite (test/ownershipAuthz.test.js)

* fix(security): stop logging OTP codes and verification tokens in email bodies (#104)
The NODE_ENV === "test" branch of sendMail logged the full rendered email
body — including the password-reset OTP span and the verification link's
token query param — and pino's redact config cannot censor values baked
into interpolated strings, so the leak bypassed the app-wide redaction.
Remove the body from every log statement (log only recipient, subject, and
template id via structured fields), and give tests a sanctioned in-memory
outbox hook instead of log scraping. sendOtpEmail/sendVerificationEmail/
sendReceiptEmail now return the sendMail result so callers can capture it.
Closes #95
* fix(transactions): prevent TTL index from deleting confirmed purchases and donations (#103)
The Transaction collection used a blanket TTL index on expiresAt with a
schema default that stamped a 30-minute expiry on every row regardless of
status. Because confirm paths never cleared expiresAt, confirmed on-chain
purchases and donations were permanently reaped ~30 minutes after creation,
deleting the proof of payment and orphaning recorded earnings.
Scope the TTL index to status: "pending" via partialFilterExpression, make
the expiresAt default conditional on status, add a pre-save hook that clears
expiresAt for any terminal state, explicitly unset expiresAt on every
terminal transition (submit, donation, refund, dispute, cancel, job handler,
reconciliation promotion), and add an idempotent migration that rescues
legacy non-pending rows and rebuilds the index.
Closes #94
* feat(security): implement educator verification pipeline and content-creation gating (#92) (#102)
* feat(security): implement educator verification pipeline and content-creation gating (#92)
- Add EducatorVerification model with legal state-machine transitions
(draft -> pending -> approved/rejected, resubmit from rejected)
- Add verifiedEducator durable flag on User, set atomically on approval
- Add AUDIT_ACTIONS: EDUCATOR_VERIFY_SUBMIT/_RESUBMIT/_APPROVE/_REJECT
with metadata allowlist entries in auditService
- requireVerifiedEducator middleware (403 for unverified, admin bypass)
- Applicant API: submit/resubmit app, get own app, signed doc URLs,
signed Cloudinary upload-signature for private credential uploads
- Admin review queue: list+filter pending, view signed docs,
approve/reject with notes (Mongo transaction for verifiedEducator grant)
- Gate all content-creation routes:
* POST /api/courses (courseRoutes.js)
* POST /api/books (bookRoutes.js)
* POST /api/spaces (spaceRoutes.js — live sessions per issue)
- Wire routes: /api/educator-verification + /api/admin/educator-verification
- Comprehensive test suite in test/educatorVerification.test.js
(state-machine, middleware gating, submit/resubmit, approve/reject,
content 403/2xx, both full lifecycles submit->pending->approve and
reject->resubmit->approve, signed URL security, admin-only gating,
audit log instrumentation)
Verification Results:
app.test.js: 22/22 PASS (CI boot + endpoint health)
auditLog.test.js: 21/21 PASS (append-only, redaction, admin gate)
Closes #92
* fix(ci): resolve educator verification pipeline test failures
- Remove redundant catchAsync double-wrap in educator-verification routes
(controllers are already pre-wrapped; the outer wrap called .catch() on
undefined, returning 500 for every new endpoint)
- Use MongoMemoryReplSet in educatorVerification.test.js so the approve/reject
MongoDB transaction can run (standalone MongoMemoryServer cannot)
- Use AuditLog.collection.deleteMany in test cleanup to bypass append-only
pre-hooks
- Return recordAudit's promise so callers can await durability; await it in
submitApplication and performReview to eliminate the fire-and-forget
audit-race in tests
- Fix testAuth.js password overwrite: destructure password out of the
override spread so the hashed value is not clobbered by plaintext
- Seed bookUpload test user as a verifiedEducator mentor so the new content
gate lets it through

* feat(auth): signed service-to-service authentication for the AI service (#91) (#106)
Give the backend a real machine-to-machine auth channel for the AI
service (dnb-ai) — signed, scoped, rotatable keys instead of a single
static shared secret.
- add requireServiceAuth middleware (src/middlewares/serviceAuth.js):
HMAC-SHA256 over a canonical method/path/timestamp/body-digest string,
a ±300s replay window, constant-time signature comparison, per-key
scope enforcement, and req.service on success
- key store (src/config/serviceKeys.js): multiple active keys keyed by
kid for zero-downtime rotation; resilient env parsing, never throws
- mount a real internal route GET /api/internal/ai/whoami guarded by the
guard (scope ai:read-content), plus raw-body capture in app.js
- migrate /admin/jobs off raw !== to a length-guarded timingSafeEqual
- audit denials (service_auth.denied), require AI_SERVICE_KEYS in prod
(fail-fast), document the signing contract + rotation runbook
- cover the full accept/reject matrix in test/serviceAuth.test.js

* feat(webhooks): signed outbound webhook event system (#45) (#107)
Add an outbound webhook/event system so external consumers can subscribe
to payment and enrollment lifecycle events over HMAC-signed HTTP
callbacks, with retries, dead-lettering, and redelivery.
- models: WebhookEndpoint (encrypted secret at rest, subscribed events,
auto-disable counters) and WebhookDelivery (all scheduling state in the
doc: status, attemptCount, nextAttemptAt indexed)
- webhookService.emitEvent: typed event catalog, per-event id for
consumer idempotency, strict payload allowlist (no secrets/emails/user
docs); persists a delivery per subscribed endpoint after the txn
commits, never blocks or fails the request path, no-ops when the DB is
unavailable
- signing: X-DeenBridge-Signature v1=hmac-sha256(secret, `${ts}.${body}`)
over the exact sent bytes; timing-safe verify + 5-min staleness window
- deliveryWorker: atomic findOneAndUpdate claim (no double-send),
exponential backoff + jitter, dead-letter after max attempts, endpoint
auto-disable after sustained failures
- management API (/api/webhooks, admin-gated): endpoint CRUD, rotate
secret, list deliveries, redeliver (atomic $set), and ping
- SSRF guard: https-only in prod, reject loopback/RFC-1918/link-local
- wire emitters into payment (initialized/confirmed/failed/expired),
enrollment, and wallet connect/disconnect; migrate /admin/jobs to a
timing-safe token compare
- docs/webhooks.md consumer verifier + full offline test suite

Remove the body from every log statement (log only recipient, subject, and template id via structured fields), and give tests a sanctioned in-memory outbox hook instead of log scraping. sendOtpEmail/sendVerificationEmail/ sendReceiptEmail now return the sendMail result so callers can capture it. Closes #95 * fix(transactions): prevent TTL index from deleting confirmed purchases and donations (#103) The Transaction collection used a blanket TTL index on expiresAt with a schema default that stamped a 30-minute expiry on every row regardless of status. Because confirm paths never cleared expiresAt, confirmed on-chain purchases and donations were permanently reaped ~30 minutes after creation, deleting the proof of payment and orphaning recorded earnings. Scope the TTL index to status: "pending" via partialFilterExpression, make the expiresAt default conditional on status, add a pre-save hook that clears expiresAt for any terminal state, explicitly unset expiresAt on every terminal transition (submit, donation, refund, dispute, cancel, job handler, reconciliation promotion), and add an idempotent migration that rescues legacy non-pending rows and rebuilds the index. Closes #94 * feat(security): implement educator verification pipeline and content-creation gating (#92) (#102) * feat(security): implement educator verification pipeline and content-creation gating (#92) - Add EducatorVerification model with legal state-machine transitions (draft -> pending -> approved/rejected, resubmit from rejected) - Add verifiedEducator durable flag on User, set atomically on approval - Add AUDIT_ACTIONS: EDUCATOR_VERIFY_SUBMIT/_RESUBMIT/_APPROVE/_REJECT with metadata allowlist entries in auditService - requireVerifiedEducator middleware (403 for unverified, admin bypass) - Applicant API: submit/resubmit app, get own app, signed doc URLs, signed Cloudinary upload-signature for private credential uploads - Admin review queue: list+filter pending, view signed docs, approve/reject with notes (Mongo transaction for verifiedEducator grant) - Gate all content-creation routes: * POST /api/courses (courseRoutes.js) * POST /api/books (bookRoutes.js) * POST /api/spaces (spaceRoutes.js — live sessions per issue) - Wire routes: /api/educator-verification + /api/admin/educator-verification - Comprehensive test suite in test/educatorVerification.test.js (state-machine, middleware gating, submit/resubmit, approve/reject, content 403/2xx, both full lifecycles submit->pending->approve and reject->resubmit->approve, signed URL security, admin-only gating, audit log instrumentation) Verification Results: app.test.js: 22/22 PASS (CI boot + endpoint health) auditLog.test.js: 21/21 PASS (append-only, redaction, admin gate) Closes #92 * fix(ci): resolve educator verification pipeline test failures - Remove redundant catchAsync double-wrap in educator-verification routes (controllers are already pre-wrapped; the outer wrap called .catch() on undefined, returning 500 for every new endpoint) - Use MongoMemoryReplSet in educatorVerification.test.js so the approve/reject MongoDB transaction can run (standalone MongoMemoryServer cannot) - Use AuditLog.collection.deleteMany in test cleanup to bypass append-only pre-hooks - Return recordAudit's promise so callers can await durability; await it in submitApplication and performReview to eliminate the fire-and-forget audit-race in tests - Fix testAuth.js password overwrite: destructure password out of the override spread so the hashed value is not clobbered by plaintext - Seed bookUpload test user as a verifiedEducator mentor so the new content gate lets it through --------- Co-authored-by: abimbolaalabi <abimbolaalabi@users.noreply.github.com> * feat(auth): signed service-to-service authentication for the AI service (#91) (#106) Give the backend a real machine-to-machine auth channel for the AI service (dnb-ai) — signed, scoped, rotatable keys instead of a single static shared secret. - add requireServiceAuth middleware (src/middlewares/serviceAuth.js): HMAC-SHA256 over a canonical method/path/timestamp/body-digest string, a ±300s replay window, constant-time signature comparison, per-key scope enforcement, and req.service on success - key store (src/config/serviceKeys.js): multiple active keys keyed by kid for zero-downtime rotation;

persists a delivery per subscribed endpoint after the txn commits, never blocks or fails the request path, no-ops when the DB is unavailable - signing: X-DeenBridge-Signature v1=hmac-sha256(secret, `${ts}.${body}`) over the exact sent bytes;

The sender creates an on-ledger USDC balance the recipient claims when ready, with a sender reclaim-after-expiry predicate so funds are never stranded. Includes a GiftClaim model (no document-deleting TTL, so the record survives expiry for reclaim), a claimableBalanceService (build create/claim transactions with complementary predicates, resolve the REAL balance id from the create result XDR — not the tx hash — with a Horizon forClaimant fallback, and validate the signed gift XDR before any state change), gift routes/controller at /api/stellar/gifts, and granting item access to the RECIPIENT (never the payer) on claim. Wires a `{ fallback: "claimable_balance" }` response into the purchase flow when a creator wallet/trustline is missing. Tests cover predicate decoding, trustline-free single-signature claiming, claim authorization before/after expiry, the balance-id-vs-tx-hash distinction, tampered-XDR rejection, guards mirroring initializePayment, and the recipient access grant. * feat(stellar): add idempotency protection to the Stellar payment endpoints (#115) Makes /api/stellar/payment/initialize and /submit safe against double-clicks, client retries, and concurrent duplicates. Submit is naturally idempotent per transaction hash: the deterministic hash of the signed XDR is looked up against confirmed transactions before any processing, so a replayed submission returns the original success response without re-granting access, with the unique index on stellarTxHash as the database-level backstop (an E11000 on the confirm save is treated as already processed). Initialize no longer piles up duplicates: a pending checkout for the same user+item returns the existing record (with its persisted unsigned XDR) instead of creating a new document, and stale pending records are reaped by the existing pending-only TTL index. Adds a stricter per-user rate limiter (paymentLimiter) on the payment routes, keyed on the authenticated user id with an IPv6-aware IP fallback. Covers duplicate-submit, duplicate-initialize, the E11000 race, and limiter enforcement with tests. * feat(stellar): validate Stellar config at startup and document the mainnet switch (#114) Adds a single source of truth for the Stellar network configuration (src/config/stellar.js) that resolves the network name, network passphrase, Horizon URLs, and USDC issuer from STELLAR_NETWORK, and validates the whole setup fail-fast at boot so a misconfigured deployment (bad network value, mainnet flag with testnet Horizon or issuer) fails with an error naming the exact problem instead of at request time. stellarService.js and horizonClient.js now consume this module. Adds docs/MAINNET.md covering the env changes, creator trustlines, and a first-mainnet-transaction smoke checklist, plus unit tests for resolution and validation across both networks. * feat(stellar): fee-bump sponsorship with structural whitelist and spend caps (#111) Let the platform pay a user's Stellar network fee by wrapping the user-signed transaction in a fee-bump signed by a dedicated fee-source account, so a user holding USDC but ~no XLM can buy a book, buy a course, or donate. Opt-in per submit via `requestSponsorship: true`; off by default and byte-for-byte identical when disabled. Guard rails (server signs on the platform's behalf): - Structural whitelist (reject-by-default, allow-list of `payment` ops only): source, exact op count/order, destinations, amounts (stroops), asset, and memo must match the pending Transaction row exactly. Any foreign/extra operation — including unknown future types — is rejected. - Durable spend caps (SponsorshipSpend, keyed by UTC day): per-transaction fee ceiling, per-day total, and per-user per-day count. - Sponsor float pre-check so an underfunded sponsor never marks the user's transaction failed. Fee-bump fee is priced over inner ops + wrapper and clamped to the ceiling (verified against @stellar/stellar-sdk v16 and asserted in tests). Sponsored rows record `sponsored`, `sponsorFeeCharged`, and the fee-bump (outer) hash alongside the inner hash. Sponsorship-specific failures return a distinct non-fatal 4xx/503 with `retryUnsponsored: true` and never mark the row failed. - Config: FEE_SPONSOR_* in .env.example + validateEnv (fail-fast at boot when enabled with a missing/invalid secret); secret never logged or returned. - Admin status endpoint GET /api/stellar/payment/sponsorship/status exposes the sponsor public key, live float, caps, and today's spend. - Prometheus counters for approved/rejected sponsorship decisions. - Docs: docs/fee-sponsorship.md, README, and openapi.yaml. - Tests: feeSponsorService (whitelist adversarial matrix, fee correctness, inner-untouched, caps, secret handling, boot config) and feeSponsorSubmit (payment + donation flag-off regression, flag-on sponsorship, cap/whitelist rejections that don't fail the row).

Overview
This PR hardens the authentication surface against credential-stuffing, brute-force, and automated-signup abuse. It adds three coordinated defenses: (1) progressive per-account login lockout with escalating backoff, (2) rejection of known-breached passwords via the HaveIBeenPwned k-anonymity range API, and (3) per-email/per-IP throttling on signup and verification resend.
