# ⚠️ CRITICAL SECURITY ACTIONS REQUIRED

## 🚨 IMMEDIATE ACTION NEEDED

Your **LIVE** Stripe secret key was exposed in this conversation. You MUST take these actions NOW:

### 1. Rotate Your Stripe Keys (DO THIS FIRST!)

1. Go to: https://dashboard.stripe.com/apikeys
2. Find your **live secret key** (sk_live_51SQPD0KdTEdEkrmm...)
3. Click the **"..."** menu next to it
4. Select **"Roll key"** to generate a new one
5. Copy the new secret key
6. Update it in your `.env` file

### 2. Get Your Publishable Key

While in the Stripe Dashboard:
1. Copy your **Publishable key** (starts with `pk_live_...`)
2. Add it to your `.env` file

### 3. Update Your .env File

The `.env` file has been created at:
```
d:\Github\yalla-hack-website\.env
```

Replace the keys:
```env
STRIPE_SECRET_KEY=sk_live_YOUR_NEW_SECRET_KEY_HERE
STRIPE_PUBLIC_KEY=pk_live_YOUR_PUBLISHABLE_KEY_HERE
```

## ✅ What I've Secured

### Files Created:

1. **`.env`** - Stores API keys (NEVER committed to Git)
2. **`.env.example`** - Template for other developers
3. **`api/env-loader.php`** - Loads environment variables
4. **`api/stripe-config.php`** - Returns public key to frontend

### Files Updated:

1. **`api/create-payment-intent.php`** - Now reads keys from `.env`
2. **`checkout.js`** - Now loads public key from server
3. **`.gitignore`** - Already includes `.env` (verified)

---

## 🔒 Security Features Implemented

✅ **Secret key** - Stored in `.env` file (not in code)  
✅ **Public key** - Loaded from server endpoint  
✅ **Git protection** - `.env` is in `.gitignore`  
✅ **No hardcoded keys** - All keys from environment  
✅ **Easy rotation** - Just update `.env` file  

---

## 📝 How It Works Now

### Before (❌ INSECURE):
```php
$stripe_secret_key = 'sk_live_51SQPD0...'; // Hardcoded in code
```

### After (✅ SECURE):
```php
loadEnv(__DIR__ . '/../.env');
$stripe_secret_key = env('STRIPE_SECRET_KEY'); // From .env file
```

### Frontend Before (❌ INSECURE):
```javascript
const STRIPE_PUBLIC_KEY = 'pk_test_...'; // Hardcoded
```

### Frontend After (✅ SECURE):
```javascript
const response = await fetch('/api/stripe-config.php');
const config = await response.json();
stripe = Stripe(config.publicKey); // From server
```

## 🧪 Testing After Security Update

1. **Update your `.env` file with new keys**
2. **Visit:** `http://localhost/checkout.html`
3. **Test with card:** `4242 4242 4242 4242`
4. **Check Stripe Dashboard** for the payment

## 📋 Deployment Checklist

Before deploying to production:

- [ ] Rotated exposed Stripe secret key
- [ ] Added new secret key to `.env`
- [ ] Added publishable key to `.env`
- [ ] Tested payment with test card
- [ ] Verified `.env` is in `.gitignore`
- [ ] Confirmed `.env` is NOT in Git repository
- [ ] Set proper file permissions on `.env` (chmod 600)
- [ ] Updated CORS headers in PHP files for production domain

---

## 🔐 File Permissions (Linux/Mac)

```bash
chmod 600 .env  # Only owner can read/write
chmod 644 api/*.php  # Readable by web server
```

## 🪟 File Permissions (Windows)

1. Right-click `.env` file
2. Properties → Security tab
3. Remove all users except your account
4. Set to Read-only for web server account

---

## ⚠️ NEVER COMMIT THESE FILES

❌ `.env` - Contains real API keys  
❌ `config.php` - May contain sensitive data  
❌ Any file with `sk_live_` or `sk_test_` keys  

✅ `.env.example` - Safe to commit (no real keys)  
✅ All PHP/JS files - No hardcoded keys anymore  

---

## 🆘 If Keys Are Committed to Git

If you accidentally committed keys to Git:

```bash
# Remove from history (CAREFUL - rewrites history!)
git filter-branch --force --index-filter \
  "git rm --cached --ignore-unmatch .env" \
  --prune-empty --tag-name-filter cat -- --all

# Force push (if repository is shared, coordinate with team!)
git push origin --force --all
```

**Then:**
1. Rotate ALL exposed keys in Stripe Dashboard
2. Update `.env` with new keys
3. Verify `.env` is in `.gitignore`
