Configuration

Configuration Sources

  • config.json (local, gitignored) for runtime settings and device list.
  • config.example.json as template.
  • systemd unit sets NODE_ENV=production.

Findings

C-001: Minimal schema validation for config.json

  • Severity: MEDIUM
  • Evidence: Config load only checks settings object and servers array in server/server.js:33-47.
  • Impact: Invalid or missing fields (e.g., updateIntervalMs, defaultPorts, device fields) can lead to undefined ports or NaN scheduling without clear errors.
  • Recommendation: Add schema validation (type/range checks) and explicit errors for missing fields.

C-002: Device port defaults depend on server.type without validation

  • Severity: LOW
  • Evidence: Default port uses config.settings.defaultPorts[server.type] in server/server.js:163-165.
  • Impact: Unknown or misspelled device types result in port being undefined, leading to connection failures later.
  • Recommendation: Validate server.type and fail fast with a clear message.
