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)


2. File Upload Vulnerabilities ⚠️ CRITICAL

Status: ⚠️ PARTIALLY MITIGATED Risk Level: CRITICAL Estimated Time: 6-8 hours

Current Issues:

  • Only MIME type validation (can be spoofed)
  • No magic byte verification
  • No virus scanning
  • Filename not properly sanitized
  • No upload rate limiting

Found In:
