Summary of Sensitive Content Categories

?? CRITICAL - Must Remove/Restrict Immediately

  1. Security Vulnerabilities Disclosure (deployment.md, api-reference.md):
    • Hardcoded credentials locations
    • Vulnerability counts
    • Security weaknesses
  2. Production API Gateway IDs (Multiple pages):
    • yn058ezh38, xkg3s0npv0, x0o7xd1uq7, ul4rjb4twc, lxil9blih0, rgkv5lgoll, baq4wrqcf2, 2m5xvm39ef
    • Complete infrastructure mapping
  3. Production S3 Bucket Names (Multiple pages):
    • sa-api-client-input, sa-api-client-output, sa-api-client-facing
    • api-client-input, api-client-output, api-policy-repo
    • asoba-api-webhost, ona-cloudfront-logs, utilityapi-static-site
  4. Production Lambda Function Names (deployment.md):

  5. Production DynamoDB Table Names:
    • api_keys, ona-platform-terminal-detections, etc.
  6. System Admin Documentation (system-admin.md):
    • Complete internal API documentation

?? MODERATE - Should Redact

  1. Internal Issue Numbers: Issue #49, Epic #137, etc.
  2. IAM Role Names: SageMakerTrainingRole
  3. S3 Prefix Structures: Internal bucket organization
  4. Production Service Status: Deployment percentages, coverage details

? PUBLIC-SAFE - Keep As Is

  1. High-level architecture diagrams
  2. General API patterns
  3. Code examples with placeholders
  4. SDK usage documentation
  5. General deployment concepts
  6. FAQ and legal documentation

Immediate Actions (Priority 1)

  1. Remove Security Vulnerabilities Section from deployment.md and api-reference.md
  2. Replace all API Gateway IDs with https://api.asoba.co or generic placeholders
  3. Replace all S3 bucket names with generic placeholders
  4. Restrict system-admin.md access or heavily redact
  5. Remove production Lambda function names from deployment.md

Short-term Actions (Priority 2)

  1. Redact internal issue numbers from changelog
  2. Replace DynamoDB table names with generic examples
  3. Remove detailed S3 structure references
  4. Replace IAM role names with generic examples
  5. Review GitHub repository visibility - ensure intentional public access

Long-term Actions (Priority 3)

  1. Create separate internal documentation for sensitive deployment details
  2. Implement access controls for system admin documentation
  3. Establish content review process before publishing infrastructure details
  4. Create sanitized public versions of deployment guides

Risk Assessment

High Risk Exposures

  1. Security Vulnerabilities Publicly Disclosed: Reveals specific security weaknesses that attackers could exploit
  2. Complete Infrastructure Map: All API Gateway IDs, S3 buckets, Lambda functions exposed
  3. Internal Service Names: Reveals internal architecture and naming conventions

Medium Risk Exposures

  1. Production Endpoint URLs: Could enable targeted attacks
  2. Bucket Names: Reveals data organization structure
  3. DynamoDB Table Names: Reveals data model structure

Low Risk Exposures

  1. AWS Region: Common knowledge (af-south-1)
  2. General Architecture: High-level only
  3. Code Examples: Using placeholders

Conclusion

Current State: The public documentation contains significant amounts of sensitive production infrastructure information that should be restricted.

Recommended Approach:

  1. Immediately remove/redact security vulnerability disclosures
  2. Replace all production resource identifiers with generic placeholders
  3. Create separate internal documentation for detailed deployment information
  4. Implement content review process for future updates
