Principios Fundamentales de Seguridad Web
Defense in Depth Strategy
La seguridad por capas implementa múltiples líneas de defensa:
Capas de Seguridad Web:
├── Perimeter Security (WAF, DDoS Protection)
├── Network Security (Firewalls, VPN, Segmentación)
├── Application Security (Input validation, Output encoding)
├── Data Security (Encryption, Access controls, Backups)
├── Identity & Access Management (Authentication, Authorization)
└── Monitoring & Response (SIEM, Incident response, Forensics)
Security by Design Principles
Secure Development Lifecycle (SDLC)
// Ejemplo de validación segura de entrada
class SecureInputValidator {
constructor() {
this.patterns = {
email: /^[a-zA-Z0-9._%+-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,}$/,
phone: /^\+?[1-9]\d{1,14}$/,
alphanumeric: /^[a-zA-Z0-9]+$/
};
}
validateAndSanitize(input, type, maxLength = 255) {
// Longitud máxima
if (input.length > maxLength) {
throw new Error('Input exceeds maximum length');
}
// Caracteres peligrosos
const dangerousChars = /<script|javascript:|on\w+=/i;
if (dangerousChars.test(input)) {
throw new Error('Potentially malicious input detected');
}
// Validación por tipo
if (this.patterns[type] && !this.patterns[type].test(input)) {
throw new Error(`Invalid ${type} format`);
}
// Sanitización HTML
return this.htmlEncode(input.trim());
}
htmlEncode(str) {
return str
.replace(/&/g, '&')
.replace(/</g, '<')
.replace(/>/g, '>')
.replace(/"/g, '"')
.replace(/'/g, ''');
}
}
Autenticación y Autorización Robustas
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
Implementación de 2FA/MFA
// Implementación de TOTP (Time-based One-Time Password)
const speakeasy = require('speakeasy');
const QRCode = require('qrcode');
class MFAService {
generateSecret(user) {
const secret = speakeasy.generateSecret({
name: `${user.email}`,
issuer: 'FenixDragon',
length: 32
});
return {
secret: secret.base32,
qrCode: secret.otpauth_url
};
}
verifyToken(token, secret) {
return speakeasy.totp.verify({
secret: secret,
encoding: 'base32',
token: token,
window: 2 // Permite +/- 60 segundos de tolerancia
});
}
generateBackupCodes() {
const codes = [];
for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
codes.push(crypto.randomBytes(4).toString('hex').toUpperCase());
}
return codes;
}
}
JSON Web Tokens (JWT) Seguros
Implementación Segura de JWT
// JWT con configuración de seguridad robusta
const jwt = require('jsonwebtoken');
const crypto = require('crypto');
class SecureJWTService {
constructor() {
this.accessTokenExpiry = '15m';
this.refreshTokenExpiry = '7d';
this.algorithm = 'RS256';
this.issuer = 'fenixdragon.com';
}
generateTokenPair(payload) {
const jti = crypto.randomUUID(); // Unique token ID
const accessToken = jwt.sign(
{
...payload,
jti: jti,
type: 'access'
},
process.env.JWT_PRIVATE_KEY,
{
algorithm: this.algorithm,
expiresIn: this.accessTokenExpiry,
issuer: this.issuer,
audience: payload.userId
}
);
const refreshToken = jwt.sign(
{
userId: payload.userId,
jti: jti,
type: 'refresh'
},
process.env.JWT_REFRESH_PRIVATE_KEY,
{
algorithm: this.algorithm,
expiresIn: this.refreshTokenExpiry,
issuer: this.issuer
}
);
return { accessToken, refreshToken, jti };
}
verifyToken(token, type = 'access') {
try {
const publicKey = type === 'access'
? process.env.JWT_PUBLIC_KEY
: process.env.JWT_REFRESH_PUBLIC_KEY;
return jwt.verify(token, publicKey, {
algorithms: [this.algorithm],
issuer: this.issuer
});
} catch (error) {
throw new Error('Token verification failed');
}
}
}
Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
Sistema de Permisos Granular
// Implementación de RBAC con permisos granulares
class RBACService {
constructor() {
this.permissions = new Map();
this.roles = new Map();
this.userRoles = new Map();
}
definePermission(name, resource, action) {
this.permissions.set(name, { resource, action });
}
defineRole(roleName, permissions) {
this.roles.set(roleName, new Set(permissions));
}
assignRole(userId, roleName) {
if (!this.userRoles.has(userId)) {
this.userRoles.set(userId, new Set());
}
this.userRoles.get(userId).add(roleName);
}
hasPermission(userId, permissionName) {
const userRoles = this.userRoles.get(userId) || new Set();
for (const roleName of userRoles) {
const rolePermissions = this.roles.get(roleName);
if (rolePermissions && rolePermissions.has(permissionName)) {
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
middleware() {
return (requiredPermission) => {
return (req, res, next) => {
const userId = req.user?.id;
if (!userId || !this.hasPermission(userId, requiredPermission)) {
return res.status(403).json({
error: 'Insufficient permissions',
required: requiredPermission
});
}
next();
};
};
}
}

this.pool = mysql.createPool({
...config,
ssl: { rejectUnauthorized: true },
acquireTimeout: 60000,
timeout: 60000
});
}
async getUserById(userId) {
// ✅ CORRECTO: Prepared statement
const [rows] = await this.pool.execute(
'SELECT id, email, name FROM users WHERE id = ? AND active = 1',
[userId]
);
return rows[0];
}
async searchUsers(searchTerm, limit = 50) {
// ✅ CORRECTO: Múltiples parámetros y validación
if (typeof searchTerm !== 'string' || searchTerm.length > 100) {
throw new Error('Invalid search term');
}
const [rows] = await this.pool.execute(
`SELECT id, email, name
FROM users
WHERE (name LIKE ? OR email LIKE ?)
AND active = 1
LIMIT ?`,
[`%${searchTerm}%`, `%${searchTerm}%`, parseInt(limit)]
);
return rows;
}
// ❌ NUNCA HACER ESTO:
// async badQuery(userInput) {
// const query = `SELECT * FROM users WHERE name = '${userInput}'`;
// return await this.pool.query(query);
// }
}
NoSQL Injection Prevention
MongoDB Secure Queries
// Protección contra NoSQL injection en MongoDB

this.db = db;
}
async findUser(criteria) {
// Sanitización de entrada para MongoDB
const sanitizedCriteria = this.sanitizeMongoQuery(criteria);
return await this.db.collection('users').findOne(sanitizedCriteria);
}
sanitizeMongoQuery(query) {
if (typeof query !== 'object' || query === null) {
return {};
}
const sanitized = {};
for (const [key, value] of Object.entries(query)) {
// Prevenir operadores maliciosos
if (key.startsWith('$')) {
continue; // Ignorar operadores no permitidos
}
// Validar tipos de datos esperados
if (typeof value === 'string') {
sanitized[key] = value.slice(0, 255); // Limitar longitud
} else if (typeof value === 'number' && isFinite(value)) {
sanitized[key] = value;
} else if (typeof value === 'boolean') {
sanitized[key] = value;
}
}
return sanitized;
}
}

}
}
}));
// Middleware para generar nonces únicos
app.use((req, res, next) => {
res.locals.nonce = crypto.randomBytes(16).toString('base64');
next();
});
// Sanitización completa de entrada y salida
const DOMPurify = require('dompurify');
