The reference list of security controls. Every row has an ID (SB-NNN), a tier (when it must be in place), an owner (who supplies the control — us, Cloudflare, Auth.js, etc.), the threat-model rows it closes (cross-link to Architecture → Threat model), and a status.
This doc is paired with the threat model (where the threats live) and RFC-0006 (where the open questions live). When a row's status is proposed, the answer is in the RFC's open-questions section.
Tier legend
M1 must-have — required before any production deploy.
M2 — required before #11 (Auth.js) and #16 (admin) ship.
M3 — defer until catalog scale or feature surface justifies it.
on-incident — runbook, not a continuously-running control.
Owner legend
us — code we write or config we own.
CF — Cloudflare provides the control via dashboard / wrangler / next.config.ts headers.
Auth.js — Auth.js v5 default behaviour; we just don't override.
Neon / Resend / Anthropic — third-party vendor.
Next.js — Next 16 framework default.
Postgres — DB feature (roles, RLS).
Status legend
in place — already shipped.
planned — in flight on an open ticket.
proposed — recommended here, awaiting MASTER decision in RFC-0006.
decided-deferred — explicitly out of scope until a later milestone.
All secrets stored in Cloudflare Workers Secrets, never in source / .env committed. Includes IP_HASH_SECRET, BUILD_SESSION_SECRET, AUTH_SECRET, NEXT_SERVER_ACTIONS_ENCRYPTION_KEY, OAuth client secrets, RESEND_API_KEY, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, DATABASE_URL.

Rotate IP_HASH_SECRET from literal dev-secret-rotate-in-prod to a ≥32-byte random value before any prod deploy. Document a quarterly rotation cadence. Maintain primary + previous keys for BUILD_SESSION_SECRET to give existing cookies a 24-hour grace window across rotation.
Zod parse on every server action as the first executable line, and on every route handler body. Mandatory — Next.js's security guide explicitly states arguments to server actions must be treated as hostile (TS types are erased at runtime). Bound array sizes (e.g., items[] ≤ 64) and string lengths in the schema.

In-action authorisation — every "use server" function calls auth() and checks the role/identity at the top of its body before any side-effect. Never assume the UI gates the action. Convention: prefer closure capture over .bind() for trust-sensitive bound data, since .bind() args are NOT encrypted by Next 16 (Next.js security guide).

/api/health minimisation — return only { "status": "ok" } and HTTP 200. No git SHA, no DB ping result, no queue depth, no version. Deeper liveness behind /api/health/deep gated by X-Health-Token header secret or Cloudflare Access policy.

Data Access Layer pattern — src/server/dal/ directory with import 'server-only' at the top of every file. Every function reads cookies() / auth() via cached helper, returns DTOs not raw Prisma rows. Forces RSC prop-drilling info-disclosure to be a code-review issue, not an architectural surprise.

CI gate: next build runs in production mode — block dev-mode artefacts shipping to prod (which would leak stack traces).
build_session cookie: HMAC-SHA-256 (or iron-session) signed with BUILD_SESSION_SECRET; attributes HttpOnly; Secure; SameSite=Lax; Path=/; Max-Age=2592000; hard 4 KB cap with server-side reject on oversized; key-rotation accepts primary + previous; claim-on-signin runs in a single Prisma transaction (last-write-wins per ADR-0003).
Cloudflare Rate Limiting Rules: free tier permits 1 rule. Spend it on /api/* POST + /api/go/* + /api/auth/* at e.g. 60 req/min/IP, action = managed challenge. Pro upgrade gives 2 rules.

Cloudflare Turnstile (free) on /api/build/save server action and Auth.js sign-in form. Token validated server-side inside the action. Optional escalation lever for /api/go/* if abuse observed (UX cost: interrupts redirect).
Switch IP source from X-Forwarded-For to CF-Connecting-IP in src/app/api/go/r/[retailerId]/p/[listingId]/route.ts. On Cloudflare Workers, XFF is whatever the client sent — clients can spoof it freely (CF HTTP headers docs). Independent of #17; worth its own issue.

For #17 postback: opaque click token + DB lookup with redeemedAt column for atomic single-use; 24-hour TTL. Bind to (ipHash, ua-hash) at mint; reconcile gracefully against retailer-supplied IP (not strict — IP mobility is real). HMAC-signed token deferred — adds complexity without solving single-use, and we already have a DB write per click.

When admin write paths land in #16: URL host allow-list on Listing.url at write time AND re-checked at redirect time (defence-in-depth — retailer compromise upstream shouldn't auto-poison live redirects).
source querystring on /api/go/* — enum allow-list (product_page, compare_page, build_slot, category_page, …); reject or coerce to unknown on mismatch. Treats DB value as opaque; future admin UI must HTML-escape on render.

Two-phase click record: insert Click with status='initiated', redirect, retailer-side postback flips to 'landed' / 'redeemed'. Initiated-but-not-landed clicks are observable and excludable from "real" click counts. Don't transactionalise across the redirect — accounting drift is preferable to held connections.

OAuth providers: exact-match redirect URIs only in Google Cloud Console + GitHub OAuth App. Production callback only; preview deployments use a separate OAuth app or are blocked from auth (preferred at M1).

Admin authz: defence-in-depth. Middleware on /admin/* PLUS auth() check inside every admin server component / server action.

audit_log table — (id, actor_id, actor_email, action, target_type, target_id, diff, ip, user_agent, provider, created_at). Insert in the same transaction as the mutation; if audit insert fails, the mutation rolls back. Append-only by convention; row-level security at M2 if a co-admin DB user is added. Logged events: auth.signIn, auth.signOut, auth.linkAccount, vendor.create, listing.edit, override.price-anomaly, anon-build-claim.

Summary — top-5 must-have for M1, top-5 deferred to M2¶
Must-have before any prod deploy:
SB-001 — secrets in Cloudflare Workers Secrets (never in source).
SB-002 — rotate IP_HASH_SECRET to ≥32 random bytes.
SB-021 — switch click-redirect IP source from X-Forwarded-For to CF-Connecting-IP.
SB-003 + SB-004 — CSP and security headers via next.config.ts (NOT _headers).
SB-016 — Cloudflare Rate Limiting Rule on /api/*.
Top deferred to M2 (non-negotiable for #11 + #16):
SB-006 + SB-007 — Zod validation + in-action authz on every server action.
