+# EMLy Security Audit
+
+**Date:** 2026-02-16
+
+**Scope:** Main EMLy desktop application (Go backend + SvelteKit frontend). Server directory excluded.
+
+---
+
+## Critical (2)
+
+### CRIT-1: API Key Committed to Repository
+**File:** `config.ini:11`
+
+`BUGREPORT_API_KEY` is in a tracked file and distributed with the binary. It is also returned to the frontend via `GetConfig()` and included in every bug report's `configData` field. Anyone who inspects the installed application directory, the repository, or the binary can extract this key.
+
+**Risk:** Unauthorized access to the bug report API; potential abuse of any API endpoints authenticated by this key.
+
+**Recommendation:** Rotate the key immediately. Stop distributing it in `config.ini`. Source it from an encrypted credential store or per-user environment variable. Strip it from the `GetConfig()` response to the frontend.
+
+---
+
+### CRIT-2: Path Traversal via Attachment Filename
+**Files:** `app_viewer.go:83,153,223,285,321`
+
+Email attachment filenames are used unsanitized in temp file paths. A malicious email could craft filenames like `../../malicious.exe` or absolute paths. `OpenPDFWindow` (line 223) is the worst offender: `filepath.Join(tempDir, filename)` with no timestamp prefix at all.
+
+```go
+// OpenPDFWindow — bare filename, no prefix
+tempFile := filepath.Join(tempDir, filename)
+
+// OpenImageWindow — timestamp prefix but still unsanitized
+tempFile := filepath.Join(tempDir, fmt.Sprintf("%s_%s", timestamp, filename))
+```
+
+**Risk:** Overwriting arbitrary temp files; potential privilege escalation if a writable autorun target path can be hit.
+
+**Recommendation:** Sanitize attachment filenames with `filepath.Base()` + a character allowlist `[a-zA-Z0-9._-]` before using them in temp paths.
+
+---
+
+## High (5)
+
+### HIGH-1: Command Injection in `OpenURLInBrowser`
+**File:** `app_system.go:156-159`
+
+```go
+func (a *App) OpenURLInBrowser(url string) error {
+    cmd := exec.Command("cmd", "/c", "start", "", url)
+    return cmd.Start()
+}
+```
+
+Passes unsanitized URL to `cmd /c start`. A `file:///` URL or shell metacharacters (`&`, `|`) can execute arbitrary commands.
+
+**Risk:** Arbitrary local file execution; command injection via crafted URL.
+
+**Recommendation:** Validate that the URL uses `https://` scheme before passing it. Consider using `rundll32.exe url.dll,FileProtocolHandler` instead of `cmd /c start`.
+
+---
+
+### HIGH-2: Unsafe Path in `OpenFolderInExplorer`
+**File:** `app_system.go:143-146`
+
+```go
+func (a *App) OpenFolderInExplorer(folderPath string) error {
+    cmd := exec.Command("explorer", folderPath)
+    return cmd.Start()
+}
+```
+
+Raw frontend string passed to `explorer.exe` with no validation. This is a public Wails method callable from any frontend code.
+
+**Risk:** Unexpected explorer behavior with crafted paths or UNC paths.
+
+**Recommendation:** Validate that `folderPath` is a local directory path and exists before passing to explorer.
+
+---
+
+### HIGH-3: Iframe Sandbox Escape — Email Body XSS
+**File:** `frontend/src/lib/components/MailViewer.svelte:387`
+
+```svelte
+<iframe
+  srcdoc={mailState.currentEmail.body + iframeUtilHtml}
+  sandbox="allow-same-origin allow-scripts"
+/>
+```
+
+`allow-scripts` + `allow-same-origin` together allow embedded email scripts to remove the sandbox attribute entirely and access the parent Wails window + all Go backend bindings. MDN explicitly warns against this combination.
+
+**Risk:** Full XSS in the Wails WebView context; arbitrary Go backend method invocation from a malicious email.
+
+**Recommendation:** Remove `allow-same-origin` from the iframe sandbox. Replace `iframeUtilHtml` script injection with a `postMessage`-based approach from the parent so `allow-scripts` can also be removed entirely.
+
+---
+
+### HIGH-4: Arbitrary Code Execution via `InstallUpdateSilentFromPath`
+**File:** `app_update.go:573-643`
+
+This exposed Wails method accepts an arbitrary UNC/local path from the frontend, copies the binary to temp, and executes it with UAC elevation (`/ALLUSERS`). There is no signature verification, no path allowlist, and no checksum validation.
+
+**Risk:** Any attacker who can call this method (e.g., via XSS from HIGH-3) can execute any binary with administrator rights.
+
+**Recommendation:** Restrict to validated inputs — check that installer paths match a known allowlist or have a valid code signature before execution.
+
+---
+
+### HIGH-5: Race Condition on `updateStatus`
+**File:** `app_update.go:55-65`
+
+```go
+var updateStatus = UpdateStatus{ ... }
+```
+
+Global mutable variable accessed from multiple goroutines (startup check goroutine, frontend calls to `CheckForUpdates`, `DownloadUpdate`, `GetUpdateStatus`, `InstallUpdateSilent`) without any mutex protection. TOCTOU races possible on `Ready`/`InstallerPath` fields.
+
+**Risk:** Installing from an empty path; checking stale ready status; data corruption.
+
+**Recommendation:** Protect `updateStatus` with a `sync.RWMutex` or replace with an atomic struct/channel-based state machine.
+
+---
+
+## Medium (7)
+
+### MED-1: API Key Leaked in Bug Reports
+**Files:** `frontend/src/lib/components/BugReportDialog.svelte:92-101`, `logger.go:72-81`
+
+`captureConfig()` calls `GetConfig()` and serializes the entire config including `BUGREPORT_API_KEY` into `configData`. This is sent to the remote API, written to `config.json` in the temp folder, and included in the zip. The `FrontendLog` function also logs all frontend output verbatim — any accidental `console.log(config)` would write the key to the log file.
+
+**Recommendation:** Filter out `BUGREPORT_API_KEY` before serializing config data. Redact sensitive fields in `FrontendLog`.
+
+---
+
+### MED-2: No TLS Validation on API Requests
+**Files:** `app_heartbeat.go:28-37`, `app_bugreport.go:376-384`
+
+Both HTTP clients use the default transport with no certificate pinning and no enforcement of minimum TLS versions. The API URL from `config.ini` is not validated to be HTTPS before making requests. Bug report uploads contain PII (name, email, hostname, HWID, screenshot, email file) and the API key header.
+
+**Recommendation:** Validate that `apiURL` starts with `https://`. Consider certificate pinning for the bug report API.
+
+---
+
+### MED-3: Raw Frontend String Written to Disk
+**File:** `app_settings.go:31-63`
+
+`ExportSettings` writes the raw `settingsJSON` string from the frontend to any user-chosen path with no content validation. A compromised frontend (e.g., via HIGH-3 XSS) could write arbitrary content.
+
+**Recommendation:** Validate that `settingsJSON` is well-formed JSON matching the expected settings schema before writing.
+
+---
+
+### MED-4: Imported Settings Not Schema-Validated
+**Files:** `app_settings.go:73-100`, `frontend/src/lib/stores/settings.svelte.ts:37`
+
+Imported settings JSON is merged into the settings store via spread operator without schema validation. An attacker-supplied settings file could manipulate `enableAttachedDebuggerProtection` or inject unexpected values.
+
+**Recommendation:** Validate imported JSON against the `EMLy_GUI_Settings` schema. Reject unknown keys.
+
+---
+
+### MED-5: `isEmailFile` Accepts Any String
+**File:** `frontend/src/lib/utils/mail/email-loader.ts:42-44`
+
+```typescript
+export function isEmailFile(filePath: string): boolean {
+  return filePath.trim().length > 0;
+}
+```
+
+Any non-empty path passes validation and is sent to the Go backend for parsing, including paths to executables or sensitive files.
+
+**Recommendation:** Check file extension against `EMAIL_EXTENSIONS` before passing to backend.
+
+---
+
+### MED-6: PATH Hijacking via `wmic` and `reg`
+**File:** `backend/utils/machine-identifier.go:75-99`
+
+`wmic` and `reg.exe` are resolved via PATH. If PATH is manipulated, a malicious binary could be executed instead. `wmic` is also deprecated since Windows 10 21H1.
+
+**Recommendation:** Use full paths (`C:\Windows\System32\wbem\wmic.exe`, `C:\Windows\System32\reg.exe`) or replace with native Go syscalls/WMI COM interfaces.
+
+---
+
+### MED-7: Log File Grows Unboundedly
+**File:** `logger.go:35`
+
+The log file is opened in append mode with no size limit, rotation, or truncation. Frontend console output is forwarded to the logger, so verbose emails or a tight log loop can fill disk.
+
+**Recommendation:** Implement log rotation (e.g., max 10MB, keep 3 rotated files) or use a library like `lumberjack`.
+
+---
+
+## Low (7)
+
+### LOW-1: Temp Files Written with `0644` Permissions
+**Files:** `app_bugreport.go`, `app_viewer.go`, `app_screenshot.go`
+
+All temp files (screenshots, mail copies, attachments) are written with `0644`. Sensitive email content in predictable temp paths (`emly_bugreport_<timestamp>`) could be read by other processes.
+
+**Recommendation:** Use `0600` for temp files containing sensitive content.
+
+---
+
+### LOW-2: Log Injection via `FrontendLog`
+**File:** `logger.go:72-81`
+
+`level` and `message` are user-supplied with no sanitization. Newlines in `message` can inject fake log entries. No rate limiting.
+
+**Recommendation:** Strip newlines from `message`. Consider rate-limiting frontend log calls.
+
+---
+
+### LOW-3: `OpenPDFWindow` File Collision
+**File:** `app_viewer.go:223`
+
+Unlike other viewer methods, `OpenPDFWindow` uses the bare filename with no timestamp prefix. Two PDFs with the same name silently overwrite each other.
+
+**Recommendation:** Add a timestamp prefix consistent with the other viewer methods.
+
+---
+
+### LOW-4: Single-Instance Lock Exposes File Path
+**File:** `main.go:46-50`
+
+Lock ID includes the full file path, which becomes a named mutex visible system-wide. Other processes can enumerate it to discover what files are being viewed.
+
+**Recommendation:** Hash the file path before using it in the lock ID.
+
+---
+
+### LOW-5: External IP via Unauthenticated HTTP
+**File:** `backend/utils/machine-identifier.go:134-147`
+
+External IP fetched from `api.ipify.org` without certificate pinning. A MITM can spoof the IP. The request also reveals EMLy usage to the third-party service.
+
+**Recommendation:** Consider making external IP lookup optional or using multiple sources.
+
+---
+
+### LOW-6: `GetConfig()` Exposes API Key to Frontend
+**File:** `app.go:150-158`
+
+Public Wails method returns the full `Config` struct including `BugReportAPIKey`. Any frontend JavaScript can retrieve it.
+
+**Recommendation:** Create a `GetSafeConfig()` that omits sensitive fields, or strip the API key from the returned struct.
+
+---
+
+### LOW-7: Attachment Filenames Not Sanitized in Zip
+**File:** `app_bugreport.go:422-465`
+
+Email attachment filenames copied into the bug report folder retain their original names (possibly containing traversal sequences). These appear in the zip archive sent to the server.
+
+**Recommendation:** Sanitize filenames with `filepath.Base()` before copying into the bug report folder.
+
+---
+
+## Info (4)
+
+### INFO-1: `allow-same-origin` Could Be Removed from Iframe
+**File:** `frontend/src/lib/components/MailViewer.svelte:387`
+
+If `iframeUtilHtml` script injection were replaced with `postMessage`, both `allow-scripts` and `allow-same-origin` could be removed entirely.
+
+### INFO-2: Unnecessary `cmd.exe` Shell Invocation
+**File:** `app_system.go:92-94`
+
+`ms-settings:` URIs can be launched via `rundll32.exe url.dll,FileProtocolHandler` without invoking `cmd.exe`, reducing shell attack surface.
+
+### INFO-3: `unsafe.Pointer` Without Size Guards
+**Files:** `backend/utils/file-metadata.go:115`, `backend/utils/screenshot_windows.go:94-213`
+
+Cast to `[1 << 20]uint16` array and slicing by `valLen` is potentially out-of-bounds if the Windows API returns an unexpected length.
+
+### INFO-4: No Memory Limits on Email Parsing
+**Files:** `backend/utils/mail/mailparser.go`, `eml_reader.go`
+
+All email parts read into memory via `io.ReadAll` with no size limit. A malicious `.eml` with a gigabyte-sized attachment would exhaust process memory. Consider `io.LimitReader`.
