Mitigation Strategy: Data Minimization via Strict Allowlist (within Sentry SDK)
-
Description:
- Define Allowlist: Create a precise list of data fields explicitly permitted to be sent to Sentry. This is done within your application code, not within the Sentry UI.
- Implement
beforeSend
(Sentry SDK): Utilize thebeforeSend
callback function provided by the Sentry SDK. This is a Sentry-provided mechanism. - Filter Event Data (within
beforeSend
): Write code within thebeforeSend
callback to remove any data not in the allowlist. This leverages the Sentry SDK's functionality. - Return Modified Event (Sentry SDK): The
beforeSend
function (part of the Sentry SDK) returns the filtered data to the Sentry SDK for transmission.
-
Threats Mitigated:
- Threat: Accidental Exposure of Sensitive Data (PII, Credentials, API Keys) – via Sentry.
- Severity: High
- Threat: Data Leakage Due to Code Changes – affecting data sent to Sentry.
- Severity: Medium
- Threat: Over-Collection of Data – by Sentry.
- Severity: Medium
- Threat: Accidental Exposure of Sensitive Data (PII, Credentials, API Keys) – via Sentry.
-
Impact:
- Accidental Exposure: Risk significantly reduced (High impact) – by controlling what the Sentry SDK sends.
- Data Leakage: Risk significantly reduced (High impact) – by limiting what the Sentry SDK can transmit.
- Over-Collection: Risk significantly reduced (High impact) – by restricting data sent to Sentry.
-
Currently Implemented:
- Frontend (JavaScript): Partially.
beforeSend
is used, but not with a strict allowlist. - Backend (Python): Not implemented.
- Frontend (JavaScript): Partially.
-
Missing Implementation:
- Backend (Python): Implement
beforeSend
(Sentry SDK feature) with a strict allowlist. - Frontend (JavaScript): Refactor
beforeSend
(Sentry SDK feature) to use a strict allowlist.
- Backend (Python): Implement
Mitigation Strategy: Data Sanitization and Redaction (within Sentry SDK)
-
Description:
- Identify Sensitive Patterns: Create a list of regular expressions for sensitive data.
- Implement within
beforeSend
(Sentry SDK): After allowlist filtering, add code to the Sentry SDK'sbeforeSend
callback. - Iterate and Redact (within
beforeSend
): Loop through allowed fields and use the regular expressions to replace sensitive data with placeholders. This happens within the Sentry SDK's callback. - Handle Stack Traces (Sentry SDK): Apply redaction to stack trace strings, potentially using Sentry's stack trace processing options (if available in the SDK).
-
Threats Mitigated:
- Threat: Accidental Exposure of Sensitive Data within allowed fields sent to Sentry.
- Severity: High
- Threat: Data Leakage Due to Developer Error in data sent to Sentry.
- Severity: Medium
- Threat: Accidental Exposure of Sensitive Data within allowed fields sent to Sentry.
-
Impact:
- Accidental Exposure: Risk significantly reduced (High impact) – by cleaning data before the Sentry SDK sends it.
- Data Leakage: Risk reduced (Medium impact) – by sanitizing data within the Sentry SDK's control.
-
Currently Implemented:
- Frontend (JavaScript): Partially. Basic redaction, but not comprehensive.
- Backend (Python): Not implemented.
-
Missing Implementation:
- Backend (Python): Implement within
beforeSend
(Sentry SDK feature). - Frontend (JavaScript): Expand redaction rules and testing (within the Sentry SDK's
beforeSend
).
- Backend (Python): Implement within
Mitigation Strategy: Configure Sentry.io (SaaS) Security Settings
-
Description:
- Data Scrubbing (Sentry UI): Enable and configure Sentry's built-in data scrubbing features within the Sentry.io web interface. This is a Sentry-provided setting.
- IP Address Filtering (Sentry UI): Configure IP address filtering within the Sentry.io web interface to restrict access. This is a Sentry-provided setting.
- Audit Logs (Sentry UI): Review Sentry's audit logs within the Sentry.io web interface. This uses Sentry's built-in logging.
- Data Retention Policies (Sentry UI): Configure data retention policies within the Sentry.io web interface. This is a Sentry-provided setting.
- Compliance Features (Sentry UI): Enable relevant compliance features (GDPR, HIPAA) within the Sentry.io web interface. These are Sentry-provided settings.
- Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) (Sentry UI): Enable and require 2FA for all users within your Sentry.io organization settings. This uses Sentry's built-in authentication.
- Single Sign-On (SSO) (Sentry UI): If available, configure SSO within the Sentry.io web interface. This integrates with Sentry's authentication system.
-
Threats Mitigated:
- Threat: Unauthorized Access to Sentry Organization – specifically, the Sentry.io platform.
- Severity: High
- Threat: Data Breach at Sentry.io – mitigating the impact.
- Severity: High
- Threat: Compliance Violations – related to data stored in Sentry.
- Severity: Medium to High
- Threat: Unauthorized Access to Sentry Organization – specifically, the Sentry.io platform.
-
Impact:
- Unauthorized Access: Risk reduced (High impact) – by using Sentry.io's security controls.
- Data Breach: Impact reduced (High impact) – by leveraging Sentry.io's data handling features.
- Compliance: Risk reduced (Medium to High impact) – by using Sentry.io's compliance tools.
-
Currently Implemented:
- Data Scrubbing: Partially (some basic rules).
- 2FA: Partially (enabled, but not required).
-
Missing Implementation:
- IP Address Filtering: Not implemented (within Sentry.io).
- Audit Logs: Not fully utilized (within Sentry.io).
- Data Retention: Need to be configured (within Sentry.io).
- Compliance Features: Need review and enabling (within Sentry.io).
- Enforce 2FA for all users (within Sentry.io).
- Consider SSO (within Sentry.io).
