+# Go Secure Coding Rules
+
+These rules were derived from CodeQL findings (alerts #1–31) fixed in this
+repository. Apply them to **every** Go file you write or modify.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Never log sensitive values (go/clear-text-logging)
+
+Passwords, tokens, API keys, and raw HTTP header values MUST NOT appear in log
+output, even partially (e.g. `password[:5]` is still a violation).
+
+**WRONG**
+```go
+log.Printf("Password: %s", password[:5])
+log.Printf("Header: %s=%s", k, r.Header[k])
+log.Printf("Event data: %s", string(body))
+```
+
+**RIGHT**
+```go
+log.Printf("Password: [REDACTED]")
+log.Printf("Header: %s=[REDACTED]", k)          // log key only
+log.Printf("Event data: %d bytes received", len(body))
+```
+
+Rule: log the _name_ or _byte count_, never the _value_, for anything derived
+from request headers, environment credentials, or external payloads.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Sanitize user input before logging (go/log-injection)
+
+Any value that originates from an HTTP request (URL path, query parameters,
+header values, request body, WebSocket message) must have newline characters
+stripped before it is written to a log. A raw newline lets an attacker forge
+additional log lines.
+
+**WRONG**
+```go
+log.Printf("Got: %s", r.URL.Path)
+log.Printf("Topic: %s", topic)           // topic comes from a query param
+fmt.Printf("Server read: %s\n", message) // message is a WebSocket payload
+```
+
+**RIGHT**
+```go
+log.Printf("Got: %s", strings.ReplaceAll(r.URL.Path, "\n", ""))
+log.Printf("Topic: %s", strings.ReplaceAll(topic, "\n", ""))
+fmt.Printf("Server read: %d bytes\n", len(message))
+```
+
+When the logged value is a compound object from user-controlled data (e.g. a
+pusher name, commit ref, bucket/object name from a COS event), apply
+`strings.ReplaceAll(value, "\n", "")` to **each interpolated field**
+individually.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Validate file paths before use (go/path-injection)
+
+Never pass a user-supplied URL path directly to `os.ReadFile`, `os.Open`, or
+any other filesystem call without strict validation first.
+
+**WRONG**
+```go
+path := r.URL.Path[1:]
+if strings.Index(path, "..") >= 0 {   // incomplete — still allows subdirs
+    http.Error(w, "Bad path: "+path, 404)
+    return
+}
+buf, err := os.ReadFile(path)
+```
+
+**RIGHT**
+```go
+path := r.URL.Path[1:] // strip leading '/'
+if strings.Contains(path, "..") || strings.Contains(path, "/") {
+    http.Error(w, "Bad path", 404)   // never echo the user value back
+    return
+}
+buf, err := os.ReadFile(path)
+```
+
+Rules:
+- Reject paths containing `..` **and** `/` (subdirectory separators).
+- Never include the user-supplied path in the HTTP error response body.
+- For named resources (job names, object keys), use an allowlist: only permit
+  `[a-zA-Z0-9_-]` characters.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Prevent reflected XSS — validate before writing to response (go/reflected-xss)
+
+Never write a user-supplied value back into an HTTP response without
+validation or encoding.
+
+**WRONG**
+```go
+jobDef := strings.Trim(r.URL.Path, "/")
+fmt.Fprintf(w, "Bad path: %s - should be 'jobdef'\n", r.URL.Path)
+```
+
+**RIGHT**
+```go
+jobDef := strings.Trim(r.URL.Path, "/")
+
+// Allowlist: only safe identifier characters
+for _, c := range jobDef {
+    if !((c >= 'a' && c <= 'z') || (c >= 'A' && c <= 'Z') ||
+        (c >= '0' && c <= '9') || c == '-' || c == '_') {
+        w.WriteHeader(http.StatusBadRequest)
+        fmt.Fprintf(w, "Invalid job definition name\n") // static message only
+        return
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Rules:
+- Use a character allowlist for any identifier taken from the URL.
+- Return only static error messages — never interpolate the user value into the
+  response.
+- If HTML output is required, use `html.EscapeString` from `html` package.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Do not expose error detail in HTTP responses
+
+Stack traces, file paths, and internal error strings must stay server-side.
+Return a generic message to the client; log the detail internally.
+
+**WRONG**
+```go
+http.Error(w, "Error reading file:"+err.Error(), 404)
+http.Error(w, "Bad path: "+path, 404)
+```
+
+**RIGHT**
+```go
+log.Printf("Error reading file %q: %s", path, err)
+http.Error(w, "Not found", 404)
+```
+
+---
+
+## 6. Quick checklist for every HTTP handler
+
+Before committing any `http.HandlerFunc`, verify each item:
+
+- [ ] No request header _value_ appears in a log statement
+- [ ] No request body content appears in a log statement (log byte count only)
+- [ ] Every URL/query/body value written to a log has `\n` stripped
+- [ ] Every file path derived from URL is checked for `..` **and** `/`
+- [ ] Every identifier from the URL is validated against a character allowlist
+- [ ] No user-supplied string is interpolated into an HTTP response body without
+      either allowlist validation or `html.EscapeString`
+- [ ] Error responses contain only static messages, never the offending value
+- [ ] Credentials (passwords, tokens, API keys) are logged as `[REDACTED]`
