EasyStream - Missing Features & Critical Gaps Analysis
Executive Summary
EasyStream is a sophisticated video streaming platform with 1000+ PHP files and strong Docker infrastructure. However, it has 25+ critical gaps that need addressing before production deployment. This document prioritizes what's missing and provides implementation guidance.
Overall Maturity: 70% (Solid foundation, needs production hardening)
🚨 CRITICAL PRIORITIES (Deploy Within 1-2 Weeks)
1. Security Headers ⚠️ IMMEDIATE
Status: ❌ NOT IMPLEMENTED Risk Level: CRITICAL Estimated Time: 2-4 hours
Missing Headers:
- Content-Security-Policy (CSP) - Prevents XSS attacks
- X-Frame-Options - Prevents clickjacking
- Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS) - Forces HTTPS
- X-Content-Type-Options - Prevents MIME sniffing
- Permissions-Policy - Restricts browser features
Impact: Currently vulnerable to XSS, clickjacking, MIME-type attacks
Quick Fix:
// Add to config.core.php
require_once 'f_core/config.security.php';
File to Create: f_core/config.security.php (template provided in previous conversation)
