- Audit report: 09 - Audits/Full Codebase Audit - 2026-05-30.md
- 81 issue files ISSUE-055..135 (decisions + 1 skipped no-brainer).
- Scanner docs from scratch (was zero): architecture, data model, API ref, payment
  flow, operations runbook + repo README.
- Doc-sync updates across API reference, data models, flows, design system.
- Secret Rotation Runbook (08 - Operations) for the exposed credentials.
- Reusable workflow guide (07 - Development) + .claude/workflows/full-codebase-audit.js.

Issues remain status:open intentionally — the code fixes are uncommitted-then-committed
working-tree changes per repo and aren't "resolved" until merged/deployed.

# Backend: payment update routes lack ownership/role guards (cluster)
**Severity:** high
**Domain:** Payment
**Labels:** security, backend, authorization, idor
## Description
`PUT /:id updatePayment`, `PATCH /marketplace/payments/:id`, and status-change routes in `paymentControllerRoutes.ts` require only `authenticateToken` — no role check, no ownership check, no status-transition whitelist. Any authenticated user can change any payment's status to any value.
## Options
1. Add an admin-role middleware to all payment status-mutating routes and a status whitelist.
2. Add ownership checks (`req.user.id === buyerId/sellerId`) plus a strict allowed-status-transition validator shared across routes.
3. Both: admin-only for arbitrary status writes; constrained self-service transitions for owners.
## Recommendation
Introduce a shared `requireAdmin` middleware for arbitrary status writes and a centralized transition validator; owners may only trigger whitelisted transitions. This is a business-logic and authZ change across multiple routes.
