Key Design Patterns

  1. Modular Architecture: Plugin-based system with dynamic module loading
  2. Protocol-Based Interfaces: Type-safe dependency injection
  3. Interceptor Pattern: Cross-cutting concerns (auth, validation, audit)
  4. Repository Pattern: Data access abstraction
  5. Circuit Breaker: Resilience for external services
  6. Factory Pattern: Module instantiation and dependency wiring

API Architecture

  • Internal API (/api-internal/v1): JWT-authenticated, frontend access
  • Public API (/api/v1): API key-authenticated, external integrations
  • OpenAI Compatible: Drop-in replacement endpoints

Database Schema Analysis

Models Overview (18 Total Models)

Core Models

  • User: Authentication, roles, permissions
  • APIKey: API key authentication with scoping
  • AuditLog: Security event tracking
  • Budget: Spending limits and cost control
  • UsageTracking: Detailed API usage metrics

Feature Models

  • ChatbotInstance, ChatbotConversation, ChatbotMessage, ChatbotAnalytics: Chatbot system (4 models)
  • RagCollection, RagDocument: RAG system (2 models)
  • Module: Module management
  • Plugin + 6 related models: Plugin system (7 models)
  • PromptTemplate: Template management

Critical Database Issues

🔴 HIGH SEVERITY

  1. Duplicate Relationship Declarations (api_key.py)

    • Lines 26-27 and 66-67 declare same relationships twice
    • Impact: Confusing, error-prone
    • Fix: Remove duplicate declarations
  2. Type Inconsistency: User ID Fields

    • Most models: Integer user_id
    • Chatbot models: String user_id
    • Impact: Cannot establish foreign keys, no referential integrity
    • Fix: Standardize to Integer with proper FK constraints
  3. Missing Foreign Key Constraints

    • ChatbotInstance.created_by - no FK to users.id
    • ChatbotConversation.user_id - no FK to users.id
    • ChatbotAnalytics.chatbot_id - no FK
    • Impact: Orphaned records, data integrity issues
  4. CRITICAL Missing Indexes (UsageTracking table)

    # HIGH VOLUME TABLE - SEVERE PERFORMANCE RISK
    # Currently only 'id' is indexed
    
    # MISSING CRITICAL INDEXES:
    - api_key_id (frequently queried)
    - user_id (frequently queried)
    - budget_id (frequently queried)
    - created_at (time-series queries)
    - (api_key_id, created_at) COMPOSITE
    - (user_id, created_at) COMPOSITE
    

🟡 MEDIUM SEVERITY

  1. Enum Values as Strings

    • All enums stored as String columns vs PostgreSQL ENUM types
    • Impact: No DB-level validation, larger storage, possible typos
  2. JSON Column Overuse

    • User.permissions, APIKey.allowed_models, Budget.allowed_endpoints
    • Impact: Cannot enforce referential integrity, difficult to query
  3. Missing Soft Delete

    • Only RagDocument has is_deleted field
    • Impact: Cascade deletes remove audit trails
  4. Timestamp Inconsistencies

    • Mix of datetime.utcnow and func.now()
    • Some with timezone=True, others without

🔴 CRITICAL SECURITY ISSUES

  1. No Access Control on RAG System

    # RagCollection has NO user_id or owner field
    class RagCollection(Base):
        id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
        name = Column(String(255))
        # ❌ No user_id or access control
    
    • Impact: All users can access all RAG collections
    • Risk: Data breach, no multi-tenancy
  2. Sensitive Data in Plaintext

    • RagDocument.converted_content: Full document text
    • Plugin.database_url: Connection strings with credentials
    • Risk: Data exposure if database compromised

Recommendations (Database)

Immediate Actions:

  1. Add indexes to UsageTracking table (CRITICAL for performance)
  2. Fix chatbot user_id type inconsistency
  3. Add foreign key constraints to chatbot models
  4. Add user_id/owner to RAG models for access control
  5. Remove duplicate relationship declarations in APIKey model

High Priority: 6. Implement table partitioning for UsageTracking and AuditLog (by date) 7. Add composite indexes for common query patterns 8. Add soft delete to User and APIKey models 9. Normalize JSON columns where appropriate 10. Add CHECK constraints for data validation


Security Assessment

Overall Security Score: 75/100 (Grade: B)

Category Score Grade Critical Issues
Authentication 75/100 B No JWT blacklist
Authorization 85/100 A- Good permission system
Input Validation 70/100 B- Missing sanitization
Cryptography 80/100 B+ Weak bcrypt rounds
API Security 65/100 C+ No CSRF protection
Session Management 60/100 C No session regeneration
Audit & Logging 75/100 B Good logging
Plugin Security 90/100 A Excellent isolation

🔴 CRITICAL Security Issues

1. No CSRF Protection

Location: main.py Risk: Session hijacking, unauthorized actions Impact: HIGH

# main.py - Missing CSRF middleware
app.add_middleware(SessionMiddleware, secret_key=settings.JWT_SECRET)
# ❌ No CSRF protection

Fix:

from starlette_csrf import CSRFMiddleware
app.add_middleware(CSRFMiddleware, secret=settings.JWT_SECRET)

2. Insufficient Rate Limiting

Location: main.py Risk: Brute force attacks, credential stuffing, DoS Impact: HIGH

# Comments indicate: "Rate limiting middleware disabled - handled externally"
# ❌ No implementation visible in codebase

Fix:

from slowapi import Limiter, _rate_limit_exceeded_handler
limiter = Limiter(key_func=get_remote_address)

@router.post("/login")
@limiter.limit("5/minute")  # 5 attempts per minute
async def login(...):

3. Weak Bcrypt Configuration

Location: core/security.py Risk: Faster password cracking if database compromised Impact: HIGH

BCRYPT_ROUNDS: int = 6  # ❌ Too low (recommended: 10-12)

Fix:

BCRYPT_ROUNDS: int = 12  # Industry standard

4. No Authentication on Platform Endpoints

Location: api/internal_v1/platform.py Risk: Permission enumeration, unauthorized role creation Impact: CRITICAL

@router.get("/permissions")
async def get_permissions():  # ❌ No auth required
    return permission_registry.get_all_permissions()

@router.post("/roles")
async def create_role(...):  # ❌ Anyone can create roles

Fix: Add Depends(get_current_user) to all endpoints

5. No Permission Checks on Module Management

Location: api/internal_v1/modules.py Risk: Any user can enable/disable/execute modules Impact: CRITICAL

@router.post("/{module_name}/enable")
async def enable_module(...):  # ❌ No permission check

@router.post("/{module_name}/execute")
async def execute_module(...):  # ❌ Arbitrary code execution

🟡 HIGH Priority Security Issues

  1. API Key Exposure Risk: Query parameter authentication leaks keys in logs/history
  2. No JWT Blacklist: Revoked users can use valid tokens until expiration
  3. XSS Risk: User-generated content not sanitized (frontend)
  4. Session Fixation: No session regeneration after login
  5. Overly Permissive CORS: Allows all methods/headers

Authentication Mechanisms

JWT Authentication (JWT)

Implementation: jose library, HS256 algorithm

Strengths:

  • Proper token expiration with configurable durations
  • Refresh token mechanism
  • Minimal payload (user_id, email, role)

Weaknesses:

  • ⚠️ No token revocation list/blacklist
  • ⚠️ Uses symmetric HS256 instead of asymmetric RS256
  • ⚠️ Token payload logged extensively

API Key Authentication

Implementation: Bcrypt hashing, prefix-based lookup, Redis caching

Strengths:

  • Keys properly hashed with bcrypt
  • Redis caching (5min TTL) reduces expensive bcrypt ops
  • Comprehensive permission system with scopes
  • IP whitelisting, rate limiting, model restrictions
  • Expiration support

Weaknesses:

  • ⚠️ Query parameter authentication (?api_key=...) leaks keys
  • ⚠️ API key visible in browser history

Password Security

Implementation: Bcrypt with timeout protection

Strengths:

  • Strong password requirements (8+ chars, upper, lower, digit)
  • Timeout protection prevents DoS

Weaknesses:

  • ⚠️ Low bcrypt rounds (6 vs 10-12 recommended)
  • No account lockout after failed attempts
  • No CAPTCHA on login
  • No breach detection (HaveIBeenPwned)

Vulnerability Assessment

SQL Injection: LOW RISK

  • Uses SQLAlchemy ORM throughout
  • No raw SQL queries in security paths
  • Parameterized queries

XSS (Cross-Site Scripting): MEDIUM RISK ⚠️

  • No explicit output encoding
  • User-generated content not sanitized (bio, company, website)
  • Markdown content not sanitized
  • Frontend: Direct rendering without sanitization

CSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery): HIGH RISK 🔴

  • No CSRF tokens
  • Cookie-based sessions without CSRF guards
  • All state-changing operations vulnerable

SSRF (Server-Side Request Forgery): LOW RISK

  • Limited external requests
  • URL validation present

Security Headers

Currently Configured (next.config.js):

  • X-Frame-Options: DENY
  • X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
  • Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin

Missing Critical Headers:

  • Content-Security-Policy
  • Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS)
  • Permissions-Policy
  • X-XSS-Protection

Recommendations (Security)

Immediate (P0):

  1. Implement CSRF protection
  2. Add rate limiting middleware
  3. Increase bcrypt rounds to 12
  4. Add authentication to platform endpoints
  5. Add permission checks to module management
  6. Remove query parameter API key auth

High Priority (P1): 7. Add JWT blacklist/revocation 8. Implement account lockout (5 attempts, 15min) 9. Add XSS protection (DOMPurify on frontend) 10. Add security headers (CSP, HSTS) 11. Session regeneration after login

Medium Priority (P2): 12. Switch to asymmetric JWT (RS256) 13. Implement password breach detection 14. Add CAPTCHA on login 15. Reduce log verbosity (remove token details) 16. Audit log integrity (HMAC signing)

Critical API Issues

🔴 Authentication Bypass

  1. Platform Endpoints (internal_v1/platform.py)

    • NO authentication on ANY endpoint
    • Risk: Permission enumeration, unauthorized role creation
    • 11 endpoints exposed without auth
  2. Prompt Templates (internal_v1/prompt_templates.py)

    • NO permission checks
    • Risk: Any user can modify global templates
    • 8 endpoints without permission checks
  3. Module Management (internal_v1/modules.py)

    • NO permission checks
    • Risk: Any user can enable/disable/execute modules
    • 14 endpoints without permission checks

🔴 Unsafe Operations

  1. Module Execute Endpoint (modules.py:384)
    @router.post("/{module_name}/execute")
    async def execute_module(module_name: str, action: str, **kwargs):
        # ❌ No validation, arbitrary action execution
        result = await module_manager.execute_module_action(
            module_name, action, **kwargs
        )
    
    • Risk: Arbitrary code execution via module actions
    • Fix: Whitelist allowed actions, add permission per action

🟡 Missing Features

  1. No Budget Enforcement on Internal LLM (llm_internal.py)

    • Risk: Users bypass budget via frontend
    • Public API has excellent atomic budget enforcement
    • Internal API has NONE
  2. Extensive Debug Logging (auth.py:173-288)

    • Risk: Information disclosure in logs
    • Token creation details logged
  3. In-Memory Settings Store (settings.py:89-156)

    • Risk: Settings lost on restart
    • No persistence to database

API Design Quality

Strengths:

  • Clean RESTful design
  • Comprehensive Pydantic validation
  • OpenAPI documentation generated
  • Consistent error responses
  • Good use of HTTP status codes
  • Proper async/await throughout

Weaknesses:

  • ⚠️ Inconsistent pagination (offset/limit vs page/size)
  • ⚠️ Mixed boolean/string status fields
  • ⚠️ No rate limit headers exposed
  • ⚠️ Missing examples in OpenAPI docs
  • ⚠️ No ETag/caching headers

Excellent Patterns Found

  1. Atomic Budget Enforcement (llm.py:271-285)

    # Proper check-and-reserve pattern prevents race conditions
    async with async_session_factory() as session:
        if api_key.budget_id:
            budget = await session.get(Budget, api_key.budget_id)
            if not budget.can_consume(estimated_cost):
                raise BudgetExceededError()
            budget.reserve(estimated_cost)
    
  2. Comprehensive File Validation (rag.py:312-363)

    • File signature checks (PDF: %PDF, Office: PK)
    • JSONL parsing validation
    • Size limits (50MB)
    • MIME type validation
  3. Permission System (platform.py)

    • Hierarchical with wildcards
    • Flexible and scalable

Frontend Analysis

Overall Frontend Score: 6.5/10

Architecture

Framework: Next.js 14 with App Router (modern) Language: TypeScript (strict mode enabled) Styling: Tailwind CSS + Radix UI State: React Context API (no Redux/Zustand)

File Count: 147 TypeScript files

Route Structure:

  • File-based routing
  • Server-Side Rendering (SSR) with force-dynamic
  • Dynamic plugin routes: /plugins/[pluginId]/[[...path]]
  • API routes as backend proxy

Component Organization

/components
├── /auth          - ProtectedRoute wrapper
├── /chatbot       - Chatbot UI (1,233 lines - TOO LARGE)
├── /playground    - LLM testing
├── /plugins       - Plugin system UI
├── /providers     - AuthProvider, ModulesContext, PluginContext (559 lines)
├── /rag           - RAG document management
├── /settings      - Settings UI
└── /ui            - 25+ reusable Radix UI components

Issues:

  • 🔴 ChatbotManager.tsx: 1,233 lines (should be split)
  • 🔴 PluginContext.tsx: 559 lines (should be split)
  • ⚠️ Some components mix concerns (API calls in components)

State Management

Multi-Provider Context Architecture:

  1. AuthProvider: User authentication state
  2. ModulesContext: Enabled modules (30s polling)
  3. PluginContext: Plugin lifecycle (559 lines)
  4. ToastContext: User feedback
  5. ThemeProvider: Dark/light mode

Issues:

  • ⚠️ Context values not memoized (performance)
  • ⚠️ Prop drilling in deeply nested components
  • ⚠️ No state persistence beyond localStorage

Security Issues (Frontend)

🔴 CRITICAL

  1. XSS Vulnerabilities: Unsanitized user content rendering

    // In ChatPlayground - user content directly rendered
    <div className="whitespace-pre-wrap text-sm">
      {message.content}  // ❌ No sanitization!
    </div>
    
  2. Token Storage: localStorage vulnerable to XSS

    • Should use httpOnly cookies
  3. No CSP: Content Security Policy missing

  4. Client-side secrets: API configuration exposed

  5. Markdown Content: Not sanitized despite react-markdown

🟡 HIGH

  1. Build Errors Ignored: typescript.ignoreBuildErrors: true
  2. @ts-ignore comments: Type safety bypassed
  3. any type usage: Throughout codebase

Performance Issues

  • No virtualization for long lists
  • No lazy loading of components
  • No image optimization (no Next.js Image usage)
  • 30-second polling (inefficient)
  • Large bundle size (no bundle analysis)
  • Context not memoized (re-renders)

Good: Performance monitoring class in /lib/performance.ts

Testing

Frontend Test Count: ZERO (0 test files found)

  • No Jest configuration
  • No React Testing Library tests
  • No component tests
  • No integration tests
  • No E2E tests (Playwright/Cypress)

TypeScript Type Safety: 7/10

Strengths:

  • Strict mode enabled
  • Comprehensive type definitions
  • Generic types for API client
  • Interface-based props

Weaknesses:

  • ⚠️ any type usage throughout
  • ⚠️ Type assertions with as without validation
  • ⚠️ @ts-ignore comments
  • ⚠️ Build errors ignored in config

Recommendations (Frontend)

Immediate (P0):

  1. Add Content Security Policy headers
  2. Implement XSS sanitization (DOMPurify)
  3. Add error boundaries at route level
  4. Write component tests (Jest + RTL)
  5. Break down large components (ChatbotManager, PluginContext)
  6. Fix TypeScript errors (remove ignoreBuildErrors)

High Priority (P1): 7. Implement request caching (SWR or React Query) 8. Add request cancellation (AbortController) 9. Virtualize long lists (react-window) 10. Add loading skeletons 11. Move tokens to httpOnly cookies 12. Add CSP headers

Medium Priority (P2): 13. Implement proper state management (Zustand) 14. Add performance monitoring in production 15. Comprehensive accessibility audit 16. Add PWA features


AI/ML Integration Review

Overall AI/ML Score: 8.5/10 (Excellent)

LLM Service Implementation

Architecture: Clean abstraction with BaseLLMProvider interface

Provider Integration:

  • PrivateMode.ai implemented (TEE-protected LLM)
  • ⚠️ Only one provider (OpenAI/Anthropic referenced but not present)
  • Dynamic model discovery from provider API
  • Supports chat completion and embeddings

Streaming Support:

  • Full SSE (Server-Sent Events) streaming
  • Async generator pattern
  • Proper chunked response parsing

Resilience: EXCELLENT

  • Circuit Breaker Pattern (3 states: CLOSED, OPEN, HALF_OPEN)
  • Retry with exponential backoff + jitter
  • Timeout management (30s default, 60s for PrivateMode)
  • Separate handling for retryable vs non-retryable errors

Cost Calculation:

  • Static pricing model for major providers
  • Separate input/output token pricing
  • ⚠️ Hardcoded pricing (may become stale)

Issues:

  1. ⚠️ Limited provider support (only PrivateMode)
  2. ⚠️ Metrics collection disabled
  3. ⚠️ Security validation bypassed

RAG Implementation: EXCELLENT (9/10)

Document Processing Pipeline:

  • 12+ file formats: txt, md, html, csv, pdf, docx, doc, xlsx, xls, json, jsonl
  • MarkItDown integration (universal converter)
  • python-docx for reliable DOCX processing
  • Specialized JSONL processor for Q&A data
  • Multi-encoding support (UTF-8, Latin-1, CP1252)
  • Async processing with thread pools
  • Timeouts per processor type

Text Processing:

  • NLTK: tokenization, sentence splitting, stop words, lemmatization
  • spaCy: Named Entity Recognition (NER)
  • Language detection with confidence
  • Keyword extraction

Embedding Generation:

  • Local model: BAAI/bge-small-en (384 dimensions)
  • Sentence-transformers library
  • Batch processing support
  • L2 normalization
  • ⚠️ No GPU support configured
  • ⚠️ Fallback: deterministic random embeddings (not semantically meaningful)

Chunking Strategy:

  • Token-based chunking (tiktoken, cl100k_base)
  • Configurable chunk size (300 tokens)
  • Overlapping chunks (50 tokens) for context

Vector Storage (Qdrant):

  • Collection management
  • Dynamic vector dimension alignment
  • Optimized HNSW index (m=16, ef_construct=100)
  • Cosine distance metric

Semantic Search: EXCELLENT

  • Hybrid search: Vector (70%) + BM25 (30%)
  • Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF)
  • Score normalization
  • Query prefixing for better retrieval
  • Document-level score aggregation
  • Result caching

Issues:

  1. ⚠️ BM25 uses simplified IDF (constant 2.0 vs corpus statistics)
  2. ⚠️ Scroll API fetches all documents (not scalable)
  3. ⚠️ Search cache has no expiration (memory leak potential)

Document Processor:

  • Async queue-based (asyncio.Queue)
  • Multi-worker pattern (3 workers)
  • Priority-based scheduling
  • Retry with exponential backoff
  • Status tracking (PENDING → PROCESSING → INDEXED)
  • ⚠️ Queue size limit: 100 (no overflow handling)

Performance

Embedding Generation:

  • Local BGE-small: ~0.05-0.1s per batch (10-50 texts)
  • No GPU acceleration

Document Processing:

  • Text files: <1s
  • PDF/DOCX: 2-5s (MarkItDown)
  • JSONL (large): 30-60s+

Search Performance:

  • Pure vector: <100ms (<100k vectors)
  • Hybrid: 500ms-2s (BM25 scans collection)
  • Cache hit: <1ms

Recommendations (AI/ML)

High Priority:

  1. Implement OpenAI/Anthropic provider fallbacks
  2. Enable metrics collection
  3. Add BM25 index (avoid full collection scans)
  4. Implement embedding cache
  5. Add rate limiting to document processor

Medium Priority: 6. Add GPU support for embeddings 7. Implement model versioning 8. Add dead letter queue for failed documents 9. Enable security validation 10. Add collection-level access control
