+
+## Findings
+
+### 1. 🔴 Shell command execution with potential injection — CWE-78
+
+**File:** `pybitblock/nodeconnection.py:734`
+**Severity:** CRITICAL
+**Pattern:** `py-002-shell-injection`
+
+**Why this matters:**
+Running shell commands with shell=True, f-strings, .format(), or % interpolation allows command injection if any part of the command comes from external input.
+
+**Code:**
+```cpp
+732:             else:
+733:                 break
+734:         subprocess.run(
+735:             ["lncli", "sendpayment", "--keysend", f"--d={node}", f"--amt={amount}",
+736:              "--final_cltv_delta=40"]
+737:         )
+```
+
+**Verification:** The `subprocess.run` call at line 734–737 uses `node` and `amount`, both obtained via `input()` from the user (lines 727–733), and these are interpolated into the command via f-strings (`f"--d={node}"`, `f"--amt={amount}"`), enabling command injection if the user provides malicious values (e.g., `node = "node1; rm -rf /"`). (+4 more matches of this pattern in the same file)
+
+**Execution path:** `localkeysend()` → user inputs `node` and `amount` via `input()` → values are interpolated into command args → `subprocess.run()` executes the command (without `shell=True`, but injection is still possible via argument splitting or if `lncli` itself interprets special chars).
+
+**Suggested fix:**
+```
+Wrap `node` and `amount` values to sanitize or quote them (e.g., `node = node.strip().replace('"', '\\"')` or use `shlex.quote()`), or switch to `shell=False` (already the default) and avoid shell metacharacters by passing args as a list (already done), but add explicit validation or escaping for `node` and `amount`.
+```
+
+---
+
+### 2. 🔴 Shell command execution with potential injection — CWE-78
+
+**File:** `pybitblock/ppi.py:672`
+**Severity:** CRITICAL
+**Pattern:** `py-002-shell-injection`
+
+**Why this matters:**
+Running shell commands with shell=True, f-strings, .format(), or % interpolation allows command injection if any part of the command comes from external input.
+
+**Code:**
+```cpp
+670:             os.makedirs("OwnNodeMiner", exist_ok=True)
+671:             subprocess.run(["wget", "https://github.com/pooler/cpuminer/releases/download/v2.5.1/pooler-cpuminer-2.5.1-linux-x86_64.tar.gz"], cwd="OwnNodeMiner")
+672:             subprocess.run(["tar", "-xf", "pooler-cpuminer-2.5.1-linux-x86_64.tar.gz"], cwd="OwnNodeMiner")
+673:             clear()
+674:             blogo()
+675:             print(output)
+```
+
+**Verification:** The `subprocess.run()` call on line 680 uses f-string interpolation for user-provided inputs (`responseC`, `responseD`, `responseE`, `responseF`) directly into the command arguments—specifically in `-O` (RPC credentials) and `--coinbase-addr` (Bitcoin address)—which enables command injection if those inputs contain shell metacharacters like `;`, `|`, or `$()`. (+2 more matches of this pattern in the same file)
+
+**Execution path:** User runs `OwnNodeMinerComputer()` → inputs are collected via `input()` for RPC user, RPC pass, Bitcoin address, and thread count → these values are interpolated into the `minerd` command and executed in `OwnNodeMiner/` directory.
+
+**Suggested fix:**
+```
+Replace `subprocess.run([...])` with `shell=False` (default) and ensure all user inputs are passed as separate list elements (already done), but to prevent injection, sanitize inputs (e.g., strip shell metacharacters) or use `shlex.quote()` for string interpolation if shell=True is introduced later.
+```
+
+---
+
+### 3. 🔴 Shell command execution with potential injection — CWE-78
+
+**File:** `pybitblock/SPV/apisnd.py:40`
+**Severity:** CRITICAL
+**Pattern:** `py-002-shell-injection`
+
+**Why this matters:**
+Running shell commands with shell=True, f-strings, .format(), or % interpolation allows command injection if any part of the command comes from external input.
+
+**Code:**
+```cpp
+38:     print("\n\tATENTION: YOU NEED TO PAY \033[1;31;40m" + q + "\033[0;37;40m MilliSats")
+39:     amountmsat = input("\nInsert the amount in MSats: ")
+40:     sh0 = subprocess.run(['curl', '-F', 'bid={}'.format(amountmsat), '-F', 'message=' + message + sentby, url], capture_output=True, text=True).stdout
+41:     clear()
+42:     blogo()
+43:     while True:
+```
+
+**Verification:** The shell command at line 40 uses `subprocess.run()` with a list of arguments, but crucially includes external/user input (`amountmsat` and `message`) interpolated via `.format()` and string concatenation into the `-F` flags, making them part of the command sent to `curl`. (+3 more matches of this pattern in the same file)
+
+**Execution path:** User provides `message` (line 26) and `amountmsat` (line 38) → these are interpolated into the `curl` command at line 40 → `curl` executes with potentially malicious values in `bid=` and `message=` fields → if `amountmsat` or `message` contain shell metacharacters (e.g., `;`, `|`, `$()`), command injection can occur.
+
+**Suggested fix:**
+```
+Replace `subprocess.run(['curl', ...])` with explicit argument separation (already done), but sanitize `amountmsat` and `message` before use—e.g., strip or escape shell metacharacters, or use `shlex.quote()` for interpolated values if switching to `shell=True`; alternatively, validate `amountmsat` as numeric and sanitize `message` (e.g., remove `;`, `|`, `$`, backticks).
+```
+

+
+### 4. 🟠 File open with user-controlled path (path traversal) — CWE-22
+
+**File:** `pybitblock/SPV/nodeconnection.py:180`
+**Severity:** HIGH
+**Pattern:** `py-008-path-traversal`
+
+**Why this matters:**
+Opening files with paths constructed from user input allows path traversal (../../etc/passwd). Always validate and sanitize file paths.
+
+**Code:**
+```cpp
+178:                     # SECURITY: Validate path to prevent traversal
+179:                     import os; _path = os.path.abspath(_path); assert _path.startswith(os.getcwd()), "Path traversal blocked"
+180:                     with open(f'{hash}.png', "wb") as f:
+181:                         rh.img.save(f, format="png")
+182: 
+183:                     img_path = open(f'{hash}.png', "rb")
+```
+
+**Verification:** The file path `{hash}.png` is constructed from `hash`, which originates from `s['remote_pubkey']` (line 174), and `n` (the loop iterable) is populated from external data—specifically, the result of `listchannels()` or similar Lightning RPC calls—making `hash` user-controllable via the remote node’s channel data. (+3 more matches of this pattern in the same file)
+
+**Execution path:** 1) Remote node sends channel list (e.g., via `listchannels` RPC); 2) `n` is assigned from that list; 3) for each channel `s`, `hash = s['remote_pubkey']` (a hex-encoded public key, potentially attacker-influenced); 4) `hash` is used directly in `f'{hash}.png'` for `open()` calls (lines 180, 183, 193); 5) if `hash` contains path traversal sequences (e.g., `../../etc/passwd.png`), file operations will traverse.
+
+**Suggested fix:**
+```
+Sanitize `hash` before use: e.g., `hash = re.sub(r'[^\w\-.]', '', str(hash))` or restrict to valid pubkey format (66-char hex) before constructing the path.
+```

+
+## Methodology
+
+This audit was produced by the KCode audit engine: a deterministic pattern library scanned the project for known-dangerous code patterns, then every candidate was verified against the actual execution path. Findings listed here are only those where the execution path was confirmed.
+
+**Pattern library version:** 1.0 — patterns derived from real bugs found in production C/C++ codebases (network I/O, USB/HID decoders, resource lifecycle, integer arithmetic).

+# Roadmap: Astrolexis AI Backend for PyBLOCK
+
+## Objetivo
+
+Backend API que actúa como proxy inteligente entre PyBLOCK y los LLM providers (Anthropic, OpenAI). Acceso único: pago en sats via Lightning a través de Astrolexis.
+
+---
+
+## Estado Actual
+
+### ✅ Fase 1: API Gateway MVP — COMPLETADO
+
+**Desplegado en producción:** `https://api.astrolexis.space/v1`
+
+**Stack:** Bun + Hono, SQLite, systemd service
+
+**Endpoints operativos:**
+
+```
+POST /v1/chat            - Proxy a LLM (streaming SSE) con system prompt Bitcoin
+POST /v1/auth/verify     - Verificar token y balance
+POST /v1/topup           - Crear invoice Lightning para recargar
+GET  /v1/topup/check/:h  - Verificar si invoice fue pagado
+GET  /v1/usage           - Consultar uso del usuario
+GET  /v1/models          - Modelos disponibles con pricing en sats
+GET  /v1/health          - Health check
+```
+
+**Infraestructura:**
+- Cloudflare Tunnel (HTTPS, sin origin cert necesario)
+- systemd service (`astrolexis-api.service`) con auto-restart
+- SQLite WAL mode para concurrencia
+
+### ✅ Fase 2: Pagos Lightning — COMPLETADO
+
+**Implementación:** AlbyHub via NWC (Nostr Wallet Connect)
+
+- Invoice creation via `make_invoice` NWC
+- Payment listener automático via `subscribeNotifications`
+- Polling fallback via `/v1/topup/check/:payment_hash`
+- Modelo prepago con balance (min 100, max 100,000 sats)
+- Lightning node: `03cd787d7bfb97454aa1cd12a51a0c9d89136077187bcbd0b6705ab629e5c5264f`
+- Lightning address: `pyblock@getalby.com`
+
+**Flujo de recarga:**
+```
+1. PyBLOCK -> POST /v1/topup {amount: 1000}
+2. Gateway -> crea invoice via AlbyHub NWC
+3. Gateway <- devuelve bolt11 invoice
+4. PyBLOCK -> muestra QR + bolt11 en terminal
+5. Usuario paga desde cualquier wallet
+6. AlbyHub -> NWC notification -> balance acreditado automáticamente
+7. PyBLOCK <- GET /v1/topup/check/{hash} -> confirma en UI
+```
+
+### ✅ Fase 3: System Prompt Bitcoin — COMPLETADO
+
+**System prompt inyectado automáticamente:**
+```
+You are PyBLOCK AI, a Bitcoin and Lightning Network assistant
+running inside PyBLOCK terminal dashboard.
+...
+Current node context:
+{node_context}
+```
+
+**Context injection:** PyBLOCK envía `node_context` en cada request, el gateway lo formatea e inyecta en el system prompt antes del proxy.
+
+### Pricing en sats (operativo)
+
+```
+                    Costo por query típica (~500 in, ~1000 out tokens)
+Claude Sonnet 4.6:  ~4 sats
+Claude Haiku 4.5:   ~2 sats
+Claude Opus 4.6:    ~18 sats
+GPT-4o:             ~3 sats
+GPT-4o Mini:        ~1 sat
+```
+
+---
+
+## Pendiente
+
+### 🔲 Fase 4: Seguridad y Rate Limiting (Semana 1-2)
+
+#### 4.1 Rate limiting
+
+```
+Por token:       30 queries/hora, 500/dia
+Burst:           Max 5 concurrent requests
+Token size:      Max 4096 tokens output por query
+Sin balance:     Rechazar con 402 + balance_sats + estimated_cost
+```
+
+#### 4.2 Seguridad
+
+- HTTPS obligatorio (✅ ya via Cloudflare Tunnel)
+- No almacenar contenido de queries (privacy) — ✅ ya implementado
+- Log solo metadata: timestamp, model, token counts, user_id — ✅ ya implementado
+- API keys de Anthropic/OpenAI en env vars del server — ✅ ya implementado
+- Rate limit por IP + por token
+- Hard limit de gasto diario por usuario
+
+### 🔲 Fase 5: Dashboard Admin (Semana 2-3)
+
+#### 5.1 Métricas
+
+- Queries por dia/hora
+- Revenue en sats (depósitos - costos API)
+- Modelos más usados
+- Top usuarios
+- Costo vs revenue por modelo
+- Error rate
+
+#### 5.2 Panel
+
+Web dashboard o Grafana:
+- Total revenue
+- Active users (7d/30d)
+- API cost breakdown
+- Margin tracking

+## Notas para el equipo de desarrollo
+
+1. **No hace falta GPU** — todo se proxea a Anthropic/OpenAI cloud
+2. **No hay modo gratuito** — toda query AI pasa por Astrolexis y se cobra en sats
+3. **El valor está en el system prompt + contexto Bitcoin** — eso es el IP de Astrolexis
+4. **Lightning payments son el diferenciador** — sin cuentas, sin email, sin KYC. Puro Bitcoin
+5. **Empezar con Sonnet** — más barato, suficiente para queries de nodo. Opus como opción premium
+6. **El proxy es stateless** — fácil de escalar horizontalmente si crece
+7. **Privacy first** — no se guarda contenido de queries, solo metadata de billing
+8. **Servidor propio** — sin costos de hosting, margen neto desde la primera query
+9. **AlbyHub NWC** — pagos Lightning automáticos, sin polling necesario (con fallback)
+10. **Ya está en producción** — `https://api.astrolexis.space/v1/health` para verificar
