From 44f2c21f2dc94e61a67247ae7b4911ed21fe8c86 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jared Vititoe Date: Fri, 30 Jan 2026 18:31:46 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Add query optimization and reliability improvements - Consolidate StatsModel queries from 12 to 3 using conditional aggregation - Add input validation to DashboardController (sort columns, dates, priorities) - Combine getCategories/getTypes into single query - Add transaction support to BulkOperationsModel with atomic mode option - Add depth limit (20) to dependency cycle detection to prevent DoS - Add caching to UserModel.getAllGroups() with 5-minute TTL - Improve ticket ID generation with 50 attempts, exponential backoff, and fallback Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 --- controllers/DashboardController.php | 169 +++++++++++++++++++++------- models/BulkOperationsModel.php | 63 ++++++++++- models/DependencyModel.php | 31 ++++- models/StatsModel.php | 78 +++++++++++-- models/TicketModel.php | 42 +++++-- models/UserModel.php | 23 ++++ 6 files changed, 335 insertions(+), 71 deletions(-) diff --git a/controllers/DashboardController.php b/controllers/DashboardController.php index 479c493..7dc3180 100644 --- a/controllers/DashboardController.php +++ b/controllers/DashboardController.php @@ -9,38 +9,99 @@ class DashboardController { private $statsModel; private $conn; + /** Valid sort columns (whitelist) */ + private const VALID_SORT_COLUMNS = [ + 'ticket_id', 'title', 'status', 'priority', 'category', 'type', + 'created_at', 'updated_at', 'assigned_to', 'created_by' + ]; + + /** Valid statuses */ + private const VALID_STATUSES = ['Open', 'Pending', 'In Progress', 'Closed']; + public function __construct($conn) { $this->conn = $conn; $this->ticketModel = new TicketModel($conn); $this->prefsModel = new UserPreferencesModel($conn); $this->statsModel = new StatsModel($conn); } - + + /** + * Validate and sanitize a date string + */ + private function validateDate(?string $date): ?string { + if (empty($date)) { + return null; + } + // Check if it's a valid date format (YYYY-MM-DD) + if (preg_match('/^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}$/', $date) && strtotime($date) !== false) { + return $date; + } + return null; + } + + /** + * Validate priority value (1-5) + */ + private function validatePriority($priority): ?int { + if ($priority === null || $priority === '') { + return null; + } + $val = (int)$priority; + return ($val >= 1 && $val <= 5) ? $val : null; + } + + /** + * Validate user ID + */ + private function validateUserId($userId): ?int { + if ($userId === null || $userId === '') { + return null; + } + $val = (int)$userId; + return ($val > 0) ? $val : null; + } + public function index() { // Get user ID for preferences $userId = isset($_SESSION['user']['user_id']) ? $_SESSION['user']['user_id'] : null; - // Get query parameters - $page = isset($_GET['page']) ?
