# Phase 4: Config Creator - CIDR-Based Creation & YAML Editing (REVISED)

**Status:** ✅ COMPLETE - Implementation Finished
**Priority:** HIGH - Core usability feature
**Actual Duration:** 5 days
**Dependencies:** Phase 2 Complete (REST API, Authentication)

---

## Overview

Phase 4 introduces a **Config Creator** feature that allows users to manage scan configurations through the web UI instead of manually creating YAML files. This dramatically improves usability by providing:

1. **CIDR-Based Config Creation** - Generate configs from CIDR ranges (e.g., 10.0.0.0/24)
2. **YAML Editor** - Edit existing configs with syntax-highlighted editor
3. **YAML Upload** - Direct YAML upload for advanced users (API)
4. **Config Management UI** - List, view, edit, download, and delete configs
5. **Integration** - Seamlessly works with existing scan triggers and schedules

### Design Pivot (Mid-Implementation)

**Original Plan:** CSV upload with template download and conversion to YAML
**Revised Plan:** CIDR-based form for initial creation + YAML editor for modifications

**Rationale for Change:**
- CSV parsing with comma-separated ports/services was complex and error-prone
- CIDR input is simpler for bulk IP ranges (the primary use case)
- Direct YAML editing provides more flexibility than CSV
- Eliminates need for users to download templates and understand CSV format

### User Workflow

**Current State (Manual):**
```
1. User creates YAML file locally (requires YAML knowledge)
2. User uploads to server via Docker volume or container shell
3. User references config in scan trigger/schedule
```

**New Workflow (Phase 4 - CIDR-Based):**
```
1. User navigates to "Configs" → "Create New Config"
2. User enters CIDR range (e.g., 10.0.0.0/24) with title and optional site name
3. System expands CIDR to individual IPs and creates YAML config
4. User clicks "Edit" on newly created config
5. User modifies YAML in code editor to add expected ports/services
6. User saves changes
7. Config immediately available for scans/schedules
```

**Alternative Workflow (Advanced Users):**
```
1. User uploads complete YAML config via API
2. Config immediately available for scans/schedules
```

## Design Decisions

Based on project requirements and complexity analysis:

### 1. Creation Method: CIDR Form + YAML Editor ✓
- Primary method: CIDR-based form for bulk IP generation
- Secondary method: Direct YAML upload via API (advanced users)
- Edit method: In-browser YAML text editor with syntax highlighting
- Simpler than CSV, more flexible than form-only approach

### 2. CIDR Expansion: Single CIDR per Submission ✓
- Each submission accepts one CIDR range (e.g., 10.0.0.0/24)
- System expands to individual IP addresses automatically
- Limit: 10,000 addresses per CIDR to prevent abuse
- Users can create multiple configs for multiple ranges

### 3. Edit Interface: YAML Text Editor ✓
- CodeMirror editor with YAML syntax highlighting
- Direct YAML editing provides maximum flexibility
- Real-time validation before save
- Supports all YAML features (complex structures, comments, etc.)

### 4. Versioning: No Version History ✓
- Configs overwrite when updated (no `.bak` files)
- Simpler implementation, less storage
- Users can download existing configs before editing

### 5. Deletion Safety: Block if Used by Schedules ✓
- Prevent deletion of configs referenced by active schedules
- Show error message listing which schedules use the config
- Safest approach, prevents schedule failures

### 6. Additional Scope Decisions
- **File naming:** Auto-generated from config title (sanitized)
- **File extensions:** `.yaml` only (consistent naming)
- **CIDR validation:** ipaddress module for validation
- **File permissions:** Read-write mount for configs directory

## CIDR Form Specification

### Form Fields

| Field | Type | Required | Format | Example | Description |
|-------|------|----------|--------|---------|-------------|
| `title` | string | Yes | Any text | `"Production Network Scan"` | Becomes YAML `title` field and basis for filename |
| `cidr` | string | Yes | CIDR notation | `"10.0.0.0/24"` | IP range to scan. Must be valid IPv4 or IPv6 CIDR |
| `site_name` | string | No | Any text | `"Production Servers"` | Optional site name for grouping. Default: "Default Site" |
| `ping_default` | boolean | No | checkbox | `true`/`false` | Whether all IPs should expect ping by default. Default: `false` |

### Validation Rules

**Field validation:**
1. `title` must be non-empty (min 3 characters)
2. `cidr` must be valid CIDR notation (validated via Python `ipaddress` module)
3. CIDR range must not exceed 10,000 addresses
4. `site_name` defaults to "Default Site" if empty
5. `ping_default` defaults to `false` if unchecked

**Filename generation:**
1. Generated from `title` (lowercase, spaces→hyphens, special chars removed)
2. Must not conflict with existing config files
3. Max filename length: 200 characters
4. Always appends `.yaml` extension

### CIDR-to-YAML Conversion Logic

**Python implementation:**
```python
def create_from_cidr(
    self,
    title: str,
    cidr: str,
    site_name: Optional[str] = None,
    ping_default: bool = False
) -> Tuple[str, str]:
    """
    Create config from CIDR range.

    Args:
        title: Config title
        cidr: CIDR notation (e.g., "10.0.0.0/24")
        site_name: Optional site name (default: "Default Site")
        ping_default: Whether to expect ping by default

    Returns:
        (filename, yaml_content)
    """
    # Validate and parse CIDR
    try:
        network = ipaddress.ip_network(cidr, strict=False)
    except ValueError as e:
        raise ValueError(f"Invalid CIDR range: {str(e)}")

    # Check if network is too large
    if network.num_addresses > 10000:
        raise ValueError(f"CIDR range too large: {network.num_addresses} addresses. Maximum is 10,000.")

    # Expand CIDR to list of IP addresses
    ip_list = [str(ip) for ip in network.hosts()]

    # If network has only 1 address (like /32), hosts() returns empty
    if not ip_list:
        ip_list = [str(network.network_address)]

    # Build YAML structure
    site_name = site_name or "Default Site"

    yaml_data = {
        'title': title,
        'sites': [
            {
                'name': site_name,
                'ips': [
                    {
                        'address': ip,
                        'expected': {
                            'ping': ping_default,
                            'tcp_ports': [],
                            'udp_ports': []
                        }
                    }
                    for ip in ip_list
                ]
            }
        ]
    }

    # Generate filename
    filename = self.generate_filename_from_title(title)

    # Save config
    yaml_content = yaml.dump(yaml_data, default_flow_style=False, sort_keys=False)
    filepath = os.path.join(self.configs_dir, filename)

    with open(filepath, 'w') as f:
        f.write(yaml_content)

    return filename, yaml_content
```

### Example CIDR Conversion

**Input Form Data:**
```json
{
  "title": "Production Network",
  "cidr": "10.0.0.0/30",
  "site_name": "Web Servers",
  "ping_default": true
}
```

**Output YAML (`production-network.yaml`):**
```yaml
title: Production Network
sites:
  - name: Web Servers
    ips:
      - address: 10.0.0.1
        expected:
          ping: true
          tcp_ports: []
          udp_ports: []
      - address: 10.0.0.2
        expected:
          ping: true
          tcp_ports: []
          udp_ports: []
```

**Then user edits to add expected ports:**
```yaml
title: Production Network
sites:
  - name: Web Servers
    ips:
      - address: 10.0.0.1
        expected:
          ping: true
          tcp_ports: [22, 80, 443]
          udp_ports: [53]
          services: [ssh, http, https, domain]
      - address: 10.0.0.2
        expected:
          ping: true
          tcp_ports: [22, 3306]
          udp_ports: []
          services: [ssh, mysql]
```

```

#### 3. REMOVED: CSV Parser and Template Generator

**Note:** The original plan included CSV parsing components (`web/utils/csv_parser.py` and `web/utils/template_generator.py`), but these were removed during the mid-implementation pivot to CIDR-based creation. The following files were deleted:

- ❌ `web/utils/csv_parser.py` - CSV parsing logic (DELETED)
- ❌ `web/utils/template_generator.py` - CSV template generation (DELETED)
- ❌ `tests/test_csv_parser.py` - CSV parser tests (DELETED)

**Rationale:** CIDR-based creation is simpler and more appropriate for the primary use case (bulk IP ranges). Direct YAML editing provides more flexibility than CSV for complex configurations.

### Frontend Components

#### 1. New Routes: Configs Management Pages

**File:** `web/routes/main.py`

```python
@bp.route('/configs')
@login_required
def configs():
    """Config management page - list all configs"""
    return render_template('configs.html')

@bp.route('/configs/upload')
@login_required
def upload_config():
    """Config upload page - CIDR form and YAML upload"""
    return render_template('config_upload.html')

@bp.route('/configs/edit/<filename>')
@login_required
def edit_config(filename):
    """Config edit page - YAML editor"""
    from web.services.config_service import ConfigService
    from flask import flash, redirect

    try:
        config_service = ConfigService()
        config_data = config_service.get_config(filename)

        return render_template(
            'config_edit.html',
            filename=config_data['filename'],
            content=config_data['content']
        )
    except FileNotFoundError:
        flash(f"Config file '{filename}' not found", 'error')
        return redirect(url_for('main.configs'))
```

#### 2. Template: Config List Page

**File:** `web/templates/configs.html`

**Features:**
- Table listing all configs with columns:
  - Filename
  - Title (from YAML)
  - Created date
  - Size
  - Used by schedules (badge count)
  - Actions (view, download, delete)
- "Create New Config" button → redirects to upload page
- "Download CSV Template" button
- Delete confirmation modal
- Search/filter box (client-side)

**Layout:**
```html
{% extends "base.html" %}

{% block content %}
<div class="container mt-4">
    <div class="d-flex justify-content-between align-items-center mb-4">
        <h2>Configuration Files</h2>
        <div>
            <a href="{{ url_for('main.upload_config') }}" class="btn btn-primary">

                        <th>Actions</th>
                    </tr>
                </thead>
                <tbody>
                    <!-- Populated via JavaScript -->
                </tbody>
            </table>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

<!-- Delete Confirmation Modal -->
<div class="modal fade" id="deleteModal" tabindex="-1">
    <!-- Modal content -->
</div>
{% endblock %}
```

#### 3. Template: Config Upload Page

**File:** `web/templates/config_upload.html`

**Features:**
- Two creation methods (tabs):
  - **Tab 1: CIDR Form** (default)
    - Input fields: Config Title (required), CIDR Range (required), Site Name (optional), Ping Default (checkbox)
    - CIDR validation (e.g., 10.0.0.0/24)
    - Real-time YAML preview after submission
    - Success modal with links to edit or view configs
  - **Tab 2: YAML Upload** (for advanced users)
    - Drag-drop zone or file picker (`.yaml`, `.yml` only)
    - Direct upload without conversion
- Real-time validation feedback
- Error messages with specific issues (invalid CIDR, file too large, etc.)
- Success messages with action buttons

**Layout:**
```html
{% extends "base.html" %}

{% block content %}
<div class="container mt-4">

## Testing Strategy

### Unit Tests

**File:** `tests/test_csv_parser.py`

Test cases (10+):
- Valid CSV with multiple sites and IPs
- Single site, single IP
- Empty optional fields (udp_ports, services)
- Boolean parsing (true/false/TRUE/FALSE)
- Port list parsing (single port, multiple ports, quoted/unquoted)
- Invalid IP addresses
- Invalid port numbers (0, 65536, negative)
- Missing required columns
- Inconsistent scan_title across rows
- Empty CSV (no data rows)
- Malformed CSV (wrong number of columns)

**File:** `tests/test_config_service.py`

Test cases (15+):
- List configs (empty directory, multiple configs)
- Get config (valid, non-existent)
- Create from YAML (valid, invalid syntax, duplicate filename)
- Create from CSV (valid, invalid CSV, duplicate filename)
- Delete config (valid, non-existent, used by schedule)
- Validate config content (valid, missing title, missing sites, invalid structure)
- Get schedules using config (none, multiple)
- Generate filename from title (various titles, special characters, long titles)

### Integration Tests

**File:** `tests/test_config_api.py`

Test cases (20+):
- **GET /api/configs**
  - List configs successfully
  - Empty list when no configs exist
  - Includes schedule usage counts
- **GET /api/configs/<filename>**
  - Get existing config
  - 404 for non-existent config
  - Returns parsed YAML data
- **POST /api/configs/upload-csv**
  - Upload valid CSV → creates YAML
  - Upload invalid CSV → 400 error with details
  - Upload CSV with duplicate filename → 409 error
  - Upload non-CSV file → 400 error
  - Upload file too large → 413 error
- **POST /api/configs/upload-yaml**
  - Upload valid YAML → creates config
  - Upload invalid YAML syntax → 400 error
  - Upload YAML missing required fields → 400 error
- **GET /api/configs/template**
  - Download CSV template
  - Returns text/csv mimetype
  - Template has correct headers and examples
- **DELETE /api/configs/<filename>**
  - Delete unused config → success
  - Delete used-by-schedule config → 422 error with schedule list
  - Delete non-existent config → 404 error
- **Authentication**
  - All endpoints require auth
  - Unauthenticated requests → 401 error

### End-to-End Tests

**File:** `tests/test_config_workflow.py`

Test cases (5):
1. **Complete CSV workflow:**
   - Download template
   - Upload modified CSV
   - Verify YAML created correctly
   - Trigger scan with new config
   - Verify scan completes successfully

2. **Config deletion protection:**
   - Create config
   - Create schedule using config
   - Attempt to delete config → fails with error
   - Disable schedule
   - Delete config → succeeds

3. **Filename conflict handling:**
   - Create config "test-scan.yaml"
   - Upload CSV with same title
   - Verify error returned
   - User changes filename → succeeds

4. **YAML direct upload:**
   - Upload valid YAML
   - Config immediately usable
   - Trigger scan → works

5. **CSV validation errors:**
   - Upload CSV with invalid IP

## Security Considerations

### Input Validation

1. **Filename sanitization:**
   - Use `werkzeug.utils.secure_filename()`
   - Remove path traversal attempts (`../`, `./`)
   - Limit filename length (200 chars)
   - Only allow alphanumeric, hyphens, underscores

2. **File type validation:**
   - Check file extension (`.csv`, `.yaml`, `.yml`)
   - Verify MIME type matches extension
   - Reject executable or script file extensions

3. **CSV content validation:**
   - Validate all IPs with `ipaddress` module
   - Validate port ranges (1-65535)
   - Limit CSV row count (max 1000 rows)
   - Limit CSV file size (max 2MB)

4. **YAML parsing security:**
   - Always use `yaml.safe_load()` (never `yaml.load()`)
   - Prevents arbitrary code execution
   - Only load basic data types (dict, list, str, int, bool)

### Access Control

1. **Authentication required:**
   - All API endpoints require `@api_auth_required`
   - All web routes require `@login_required`
   - Single-user model (no multi-tenant concerns)

2. **File system access:**
   - Restrict all operations to `/app/configs/` directory
   - Validate no path traversal in any file operations
   - Use `os.path.join()` and `os.path.abspath()` safely

### File Upload Security

1. **Size limits:**
   - CSV: 2MB max
   - YAML: 2MB max
   - Configurable in Flask config

2. **Rate limiting (future consideration):**
   - Limit upload frequency per session
   - Prevent DoS via repeated large uploads

3. **Virus scanning (future consideration):**
   - For production deployments
   - Scan uploaded files with ClamAV

---

## Database Changes

**No database schema changes required for Phase 4.**

Configs are stored as files, not in database. However, for future enhancement, consider adding:

```python
# Optional future enhancement (not Phase 4)
class Config(Base):
    __tablename__ = 'configs'

    id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
    filename = Column(String(255), unique=True, nullable=False, index=True)
    title = Column(String(255), nullable=False)
    created_at = Column(DateTime, default=datetime.utcnow, nullable=False)
    updated_at = Column(DateTime, default=datetime.utcnow, onupdate=datetime.utcnow)
    created_by = Column(String(50))  # 'csv', 'yaml', 'manual'
    file_hash = Column(String(64))  # SHA256 hash for change detection
```

Benefits of database tracking:
- Faster metadata queries (no need to parse YAML for title)
- Change detection and versioning
- Usage statistics (how often config used)
- Search and filtering

**Decision:** Keep Phase 4 simple (file-based only). Add database tracking in Phase 5+ if needed.

---

## Integration with Existing Features

### Dashboard Integration

**Current:** Dashboard has "Run Scan Now" button with config dropdown

**Change:** Config dropdown populated via `/api/configs` instead of filesystem scan

**File:** `web/templates/dashboard.html`

```javascript
// Before (Phase 3)
fetch('/api/configs-list')  // Doesn't exist yet

// After (Phase 4)
fetch('/api/configs')
    .then(res => res.json())
    .then(data => {
        const select = document.getElementById('config-select');
        data.configs.forEach(config => {
            const option = new Option(config.title, config.filename);
            select.add(option);
        });
    });
```

### Schedule Management Integration

**Current:** Schedule form has config file input (text field or dropdown)

**Change:** Config selector uses `/api/configs` to show available configs

**File:** `web/templates/schedule_form.html`

```html
<!-- Before -->
<input type="text" name="config_file" placeholder="/app/configs/example.yaml">

<!-- After -->
<select name="config_file" id="config-select">
    <option value="">Select a configuration...</option>
    <!-- Populated via JavaScript from /api/configs -->
</select>
<p class="text-muted">
    Don't see your config? <a href="{{ url_for('main.upload_config') }}">Create a new one</a>
</p>
```

### Scan Trigger Integration

**Current:** Scan trigger validates config file exists

**Change:** No changes needed, validation already in place via `validators.validate_config_file()`

**File:** `web/services/scan_service.py`

```python
def trigger_scan(self, config_file: str, triggered_by: str = 'manual'):
    # Existing validation
    is_valid, error = validate_config_file(config_file)
    if not is_valid:
        raise ValueError(f"Invalid config file: {error}")

    # Continue with scan...
```

## Future Enhancements (Post-Phase 4)

Not in scope for Phase 4, but consider for future phases:

1. **~~Config Editor UI~~** ✅ **COMPLETE IN PHASE 4**
   - ✅ YAML editor with syntax highlighting (CodeMirror)
   - ✅ CIDR-based config creation form
   - Future: Advanced form editor with dynamic site/IP management

2. **Config Versioning (Phase 5+):**
   - Track config changes over time
   - Compare versions (diff view)
   - Rollback to previous version
   - Store versions in database

3. **Multiple CIDR Support (Phase 5+):**
   - Allow multiple CIDR ranges in single submission
   - Combine multiple ranges into one config
   - Support for CIDR exclusions (blacklist IPs)

4. **Config Templates (Phase 5+):**
   - Pre-built templates for common scenarios:
     - Web server infrastructure (80, 443, 22)
     - Database cluster (3306, 5432, 27017)
     - Network devices (22, 23, 161, 443)
   - User selects template, fills IPs/CIDR, auto-generates config

5. **Bulk Operations (Phase 6+):**
   - Clone existing configs
   - Bulk edit multiple configs
   - ZIP export/import of multiple configs
   - Import from external sources (CMDB, spreadsheet)

6. **Config Validation on Schedule (Phase 6+):**
   - Periodic validation of all configs
   - Alert if config becomes invalid (file deleted, corrupted)
   - Auto-disable schedules with invalid configs

7. **Config Metadata & Tags (Phase 6+):**
   - Add tags/labels to configs (environment, team, project)
   - Filter/search by tags
   - Group related configs
   - Config ownership and permissions

8. **Config Diff Tool (Phase 6+):**
   - Compare two configs side-by-side
   - Highlight differences (IPs, ports, sites)
   - Useful for environment parity checks (prod vs. staging)

---

## Open Questions - ALL RESOLVED ✅

### Design Decisions (All Resolved):
- ✅ **CSV vs. CIDR?** → **CIDR-based creation (simpler, more intuitive)**
- ✅ **Form editor or upload only?** → **Both - CIDR form + YAML editor**
- ✅ **Config editing?** → **Yes - CodeMirror YAML editor**
- ✅ **Config versioning?** → **No (Phase 4), deferred to Phase 5+**
- ✅ **Delete protection?** → **Block if used by schedules**
- ✅ **Filename handling?** → **Auto-generate from title**
- ✅ **Duplicate IP handling?** → **Allow (different expected ports per IP)**
- ✅ **Config validation frequency?** → **On create/edit only**
- ✅ **Docker permissions?** → **Read-write mount (removed :ro flag)**

---

## Risk Assessment

### Low Risk:
- CSV parsing (standard library, well-tested)
- File upload handling (Flask/werkzeug built-in)
- YAML generation (PyYAML library)

### Medium Risk:
- Complex CSV validation edge cases (commas in values, quotes)
  - **Mitigation:** Comprehensive unit tests, use csv.reader()
- Filename conflicts and race conditions
  - **Mitigation:** Check existence before write, use atomic operations

### High Risk:
- Breaking existing scan/schedule workflows
  - **Mitigation:** Extensive integration tests, no changes to existing validation
- Security vulnerabilities (path traversal, code injection)
  - **Mitigation:** Use secure_filename(), yaml.safe_load(), input validation

### Contingency:
- If CSV parsing too complex: Start with YAML upload only, add CSV in Phase 4.5
- If schedule deletion check too slow: Cache schedule-config mappings
- If file-based config management becomes bottleneck: Migrate to database in Phase 5

---

## Deployment Notes

### Requirements:
- No new Python dependencies (csv, yaml, os, io all in stdlib)
- No new system dependencies
- No database migrations

### Configuration:
Add to `.env` (optional):
```bash
# Config upload limits
MAX_CONFIG_SIZE_MB=2
MAX_CSV_ROWS=1000
CONFIGS_DIR=/app/configs
```

### Deployment Steps:
1. Pull latest code
2. Restart Flask app: `docker-compose -f docker-compose-web.yml restart web`
3. Verify `/api/configs/template` endpoint works
4. Test CSV upload with template

### Rollback Plan:
- No database changes, so rollback is safe
- Revert code changes and restart
- Configs created during Phase 4 remain valid (files are backward compatible)
