# Security ## Dashboard sessions - Passwords hashed with bcrypt (cost 12), at least 8 characters; emails stored lowercased. - Sign-in sets two httpOnly, SameSite=Lax cookies (Secure in production): a JWT access token for 15 minutes, and a refresh token for 30 days, sent only to `/api/v1/auth`. No script can read either. - A refresh token works once: refreshing revokes it and issues a new pair. Signing out revokes it. Changing the password signs out every other session at once. Ended sessions are deleted daily after a week. - Every request looks the user up: a deleted user, a changed role or a forced sign-out (`sessionsRevokedAt`) applies at once instead of when the access token expires. - Sign-in answers the same, in the same time, for an unknown email and a wrong password. ## Terminals - Paired with a single-use registration code that expires after 10 minutes. - Token: `kt_` + 48 random bytes; only its SHA-256 hash is stored, and it is shown once. It expires after 90 days. - Unpairing on the dashboard stops the token at once. ## Roles - `manager` runs the venue: tabs, customers, reminders, products and stock. - `admin` also manages the venue's users and terminals. - `superadmin` runs KoolTap and belongs to no venue: the admin page (`/admin` endpoints), and any venue they view, where they act as its admin. The database enforces that superadmins, and only they, have no venue. Only a superadmin can make someone a superadmin; the first one is made with `node dist/cli/superadmin.js --create "" ` (or by promoting a user). Viewing a venue is recorded in that venue's audit log, and every admin action is audited. Every venue route checks that the user belongs to the venue in the URL (or is a superadmin). Product pictures are public by id, a SHA-256 hash that can't be guessed. ## API - Every body and query is validated with a zod schema; unknown fields are dropped. - Helmet headers; CORS only for the dashboard's origin. - Rate limits: 10 sign-ins or pairings and 30 refreshes per minute per client, 100 requests per minute otherwise. Terminal syncs are not limited (they are authenticated by the device token). - Errors are `{ error: { code, message } }`; internal errors are logged and never shown. - The realtime socket authenticates with the session cookie and only carries topic names, never data.
