PR Compliance Guide 🔍

Below is a summary of compliance checks for this PR:

Security Compliance
Sensitive error disclosure

Description: The error page surfaces $page.error?.message directly to end users (via title), which can
expose sensitive internal details (e.g., stack traces, upstream service messages, IDs) if
any error message contains them.
+error.svelte [8-13]

Referred Code
    $: status = $page.status;
    $: message = $page.error?.message || 'An error occurred';

    $: icon = status === 404 ? 'bx-search-alt' : 'bx-error-circle';
    $: title = status === 404 ? 'Page Not Found' : message;
</script>
Client-side authorization

Description: Conversation access control is enforced only via a client-side check
(conversation.accessible === false with goto('/error')), which can be bypassed by directly
calling underlying APIs or modifying client behavior unless the backend also enforces
authorization for getConversation/getDialogs.
chat-box.svelte [238-244]

Referred Code
onMount(async () => {
	disableSpeech = navigator.userAgent.includes('Firefox');
	conversation = await getConversation(params.conversationId, true);
	if (conversation == null || conversation.accessible === false) {
		goto('/error', { replaceState: true });
		return;
	}

Codebase Duplication Compliance
Codebase context is not defined

Follow the guide to enable codebase context checks.

Custom Compliance
🟢
Generic: Meaningful Naming and Self-Documenting Code

Objective: Ensure all identifiers clearly express their purpose and intent, making code
self-documenting

Status: Passed

Generic: Secure Logging Practices

Objective: To ensure logs are useful for debugging and auditing without exposing sensitive
information like PII, PHI, or cardholder data.

Status: Passed

🔴
Generic: Secure Error Handling

Objective: To prevent the leakage of sensitive system information through error messages while
providing sufficient detail for internal debugging.

Status:
Leaks internal message: The page displays $page.error?.message to the user (via title), which can expose internal
implementation details instead of a generic user-safe error message.

Referred Code
    $: status = $page.status;
    $: message = $page.error?.message || 'An error occurred';

    $: icon = status === 404 ? 'bx-search-alt' : 'bx-error-circle';
    $: title = status === 404 ? 'Page Not Found' : message;
</script>

Generic: Comprehensive Audit Trails

Objective: To create a detailed and reliable record of critical system actions for security analysis
and compliance.

Status:
Access denial unlogged: The new conversation access denial path redirects to /error without any observable audit
logging of the denied access attempt (who/when/which conversation/outcome).

Referred Code
onMount(async () => {
	disableSpeech = navigator.userAgent.includes('Firefox');
	conversation = await getConversation(params.conversationId, true);
	if (conversation == null || conversation.accessible === false) {
		goto('/error', { replaceState: true });
		return;
	}

Generic: Robust Error Handling and Edge Case Management

Objective: Ensure comprehensive error handling that provides meaningful context and graceful
degradation

Status:
Redirect lacks context: When conversation is null or inaccessible the code redirects to /error without passing
status/context, so the resulting error experience may be non-actionable depending on how
the error route is populated.

Referred Code
conversation = await getConversation(params.conversationId, true);
if (conversation == null || conversation.accessible === false) {
	goto('/error', { replaceState: true });
	return;
}

Generic: Security-First Input Validation and Data Handling

Objective: Ensure all data inputs are validated, sanitized, and handled securely to prevent
vulnerabilities

Status:
Client-side auth only: Access control is enforced via a client-side check (conversation.accessible === false) and
a redirect, which may be bypassable unless the backend/API also enforces authorization for
conversation and dialog retrieval.

Referred Code
conversation = await getConversation(params.conversationId, true);
if (conversation == null || conversation.accessible === false) {
	goto('/error', { replaceState: true });
	return;
}

dialogs = await getDialogs(params.conversationId, dialogCount);

Incomplete access control implementation

The PR introduces an incomplete access control mechanism. It adds a redirect on
load for inaccessible conversations but comments out the disableAction logic,
which is responsible for disabling UI interactions, creating a potential
security issue.

Examples:

src/routes/chat/[agentId]/[conversationId]/chat-box.svelte [230-244]
	// $: {
	// 	disableAction = !ADMIN_ROLES.includes(currentUser?.role || '') && currentUser?.id !== conversationUser?.id || !AgentExtensions.chatable(agent);
	// }

	setContext('chat-window-context', {
		autoScrollToBottom: autoScrollToBottom
	});
	
	onMount(async () => {
		disableSpeech = navigator.userAgent.includes('Firefox');

 ... (clipped 5 lines)

Solution Walkthrough:

Before:

<script>
	// ...
	// $: {
	// 	disableAction = !ADMIN_ROLES.includes(currentUser?.role || '') && currentUser?.id !== conversationUser?.id || !AgentExtensions.chatable(agent);
	// }

	onMount(async () => {
		conversation = await getConversation(params.conversationId, true);
		if (conversation == null || conversation.accessible === false) {
			goto('/error', { replaceState: true });
			return;
		}
		// ...
	});
</script>

After:

<script>
	// ...
	$: {
		const isUnauthorizedUser = !ADMIN_ROLES.includes(currentUser?.role || '') && currentUser?.id !== conversationUser?.id;
		const isChatable = AgentExtensions.chatable(agent);
		const isAccessible = conversation?.accessible !== false;
		disableAction = isUnauthorizedUser || !isChatable || !isAccessible;
	}

	onMount(async () => {
		conversation = await getConversation(params.conversationId, true);
		if (conversation == null || conversation.accessible === false) {
			goto('/error', { replaceState: true });
			return;
		}
		// ...
	});
</script>
Suggestion importance[1-10]: 9

__

Why: This suggestion correctly identifies a critical flaw where existing UI access control logic (disableAction) is commented out, leaving only a load-time redirect, which creates a significant security gap.

High
Possible issue
Handle undefined accessible flag

Improve the conversation accessibility check to correctly handle null or
undefined values for the accessible property, and await the redirect navigation.

src/routes/chat/[agentId]/[conversationId]/chat-box.svelte [241-244]

-if (conversation == null || conversation.accessible === false) {
-    goto('/error', { replaceState: true });
+if (!conversation?.accessible) {
+    await goto('/error', { replaceState: true });
     return;
 }
  • Apply / Chat
Suggestion importance[1-10]: 8

__

Why: The suggestion fixes a potential access control bug where a user could access a conversation if the accessible property is undefined. The proposed !conversation?.accessible is more robust and correct than the original check.

Medium
General
Use absolute dashboard link

Change the "Back to Dashboard" link to use an absolute path (/page/dashboard) to
prevent incorrect routing from nested error pages.

src/routes/+error.svelte [40-42]

-<Link class="btn btn-primary" href="page/dashboard">
+<Link class="btn btn-primary" href="/page/dashboard">
     Back to Dashboard
 </Link>
  • Apply / Chat
Suggestion importance[1-10]: 7

__

Why: The suggestion correctly identifies that the relative link page/dashboard will break on nested error routes and proposes using an absolute path /page/dashboard to ensure consistent navigation, which is a valid and important fix for routing.

Medium
Add descriptive image alt text

Add descriptive alt text to the error page image to improve accessibility for
users with screen readers.

src/routes/+error.svelte [51]

-<img src="/images/error-img.png" alt="" class="img-fluid" />
+<img src="/images/error-img.png" alt="Illustration of error state" class="img-fluid" />
  • Apply / Chat
Suggestion importance[1-10]: 4

__

Why: The suggestion improves accessibility by adding descriptive alt text to an image, which is a good practice, although the impact on core functionality is minor.
