This document outlines the comprehensive security measures implemented in the PDF Password Remover Angular application.

1. X-Frame-Options: DENY - Prevents clickjacking attacks
2. X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff - Prevents MIME-type sniffing
3. X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block - Enables browser's XSS filter
4. Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin - Controls referrer information
5. Strict-Transport-Security - Enforces HTTPS for 2 years with preload
6. Permissions-Policy - Disables camera, microphone, geolocation, payment, USB
7. X-Permitted-Cross-Domain-Policies: none - Blocks cross-domain policy files
8. Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy: require-corp - Requires CORP for cross-origin resources
9. Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy: same-origin - Isolates browsing context
10. Cross-Origin-Resource-Policy: same-origin - Protects resources from cross-origin access
11. Content-Security-Policy - Strict CSP without unsafe-inline/unsafe-eval

Angular's HttpClient automatically handles CSRF protection:

• Reads XSRF token from cookies
• Sends token in X-XSRF-TOKEN header
• Backend must validate this token

All HTTP requests use Angular's HttpClient for automatic CSRF protection.

Measures Implemented:

• ✅ No innerHTML usage
• ✅ No bypassSecurityTrust* methods
• ✅ All content uses Angular templates (auto-sanitized)
• ✅ Strict CSP without unsafe-inline/unsafe-eval

• Transmission: HTTPS only (enforced by HSTS)
• Storage: NOT stored in localStorage or sessionStorage
• Lifecycle: Exists only in component state during processing
• Backend: Must use TLS 1.2+, process in memory only

• Development: http://localhost:5000
• Production: https://flask-pdf-pr-main.onrender.com
• Protection: HTTPS enforced, CORS configured, rate limiting recommended
