⚠️ Potential issue

🔒 Security improvements needed in analytics HTTP request handling

The current implementation has several security concerns that should be addressed:

1. Response body handling is not following best practices:

-err = res.Body.Close()
-if err != nil {
-    log.Error().Err(err).Msg("failed to send analytics request")
-}
+if res != nil {
+    defer res.Body.Close()
+    // Read and discard body to prevent resource leaks
+    _, _ = io.Copy(io.Discard, res.Body)
+    if res.StatusCode >= 400 {
+        log.Error().Int("status", res.StatusCode).Msg("analytics request failed")
+    }
+}

2. HTTP client should be reused instead of creating a new one for each request:

+var analyticsClient = &http.Client{
+    Timeout: 10 * time.Second,
+}
+
 func sendAnalytics() {
-    client := &http.Client{
-        Timeout: 10 * time.Second,
-    }
-    res, err := client.Do(req)
+    res, err := analyticsClient.Do(req)

3. Error handling should be more robust and avoid potential nil pointer dereference:

 if err != nil {
-    log.Error().Err(err).Msg("failed to send analytics request")
+    log.Error().Msg("analytics request failed: network or timeout error")
+    return
 }

These changes will improve security, resource management, and error handling robustness.

🔗 Analysis chain

Enhance security measures in analytics HTTP request handling.

While the implementation uses HTTPS and includes basic error handling, several security improvements are recommended:

1. Add certificate verification settings:

 client := &http.Client{
     Timeout: 10 * time.Second,
+    Transport: &http.Transport{
+        TLSClientConfig: &tls.Config{
+            MinVersion: tls.VersionTLS12,
+        },
+    },
 }

2. Improve error handling to prevent information leakage:

-if err != nil {
-    log.Error().Err(err).Msg("failed to send analytics request")
+if err != nil {
+    log.Error().Msg("analytics request failed")
 }

3. Add proper response body handling:

-err = res.Body.Close()
+if res != nil {
+    defer res.Body.Close()
+    if res.StatusCode != http.StatusOK {
+        log.Error().Msg("unexpected status from analytics endpoint")
+    }
+}

Also consider:

• Implementing retry mechanism with exponential backoff
• Adding request context with timeout
• Implementing rate limiting

20-32: ⚠️ Potential issue

Enhance security measures documentation.

While self-hosting Plausible provides control over data, the policy should address:

1. Access controls and authentication for the Plausible instance
2. Data encryption at rest and in transit
3. Regular security audits and monitoring
4. Incident response procedures

Consider adding a section detailing these security aspects to provide transparency about data protection measures.

47-64: 🛠️ Refactor suggestion

Strengthen third-party security requirements and change management.

1. Third-party security:

   • Document security requirements for third-party services
   • Specify data processing agreements
   • Regular security assessment procedures

2. Change management:

   • Consider adding in-app notifications for policy changes
   • Implement version control for privacy policy
   • Document change approval process
