+# libxml2 Audit: ONLYOFFICE-Specific Modifications
+
+**Date**: 2026-03-30
+**Auditor**: Automated (Sisyphus-Junior)
+**Vendored Version**: libxml2 2.9.2 (October 16, 2014)
+**Target Version**: 2.12.x
+**Risk Level**: HIGH
+
+---
+
+## 1. Version Confirmation
+
+- **Source**: `DesktopEditor/xml/libxml2/NEWS` line 13: `2.9.2: Oct 16 2014`
+- **Age**: ~11.5 years old at time of audit
+- **Files**: 101 `.c` files, 69 `.h` files
+
+---
+
+## 2. Source Code Modifications
+
+### 2.1 `xmlversion.h` — Template Placeholders
+
+**File**: `DesktopEditor/xml/libxml2/include/libxml/xmlversion.h`
+
+This file has been modified from upstream to use build-time template substitution:
+
+| Line | Placeholder | Purpose |
+|------|------------|---------|
+| 32 | `#define LIBXML_DOTTED_VERSION "1.2.3"` | Generic placeholder version string |
+| 40 | `#define LIBXML_VERSION_NUMBER LIBXML_DOTTED_VERSION` | Version as string (not numeric) |
+| 50 | `#define LIBXML_VERSION_STRING "@LIBXML_VERSION_NUMBER@"` | CMake template placeholder |
+| 57 | `#define LIBXML_VERSION_EXTRA "@LIBXML_VERSION_EXTRA@"` | CMake template placeholder |
+| 395 | `#define LIBXML_MODULE_EXTENSION "@MODULE_EXTENSION@"` | CMake template placeholder |
+
+**Impact**: In standard libxml2, `LIBXML_DOTTED_VERSION` would be `"2.9.2"` and `LIBXML_VERSION` would be the numeric `20902`. Here, `LIBXML_VERSION` is the string `"1.2.3"` which means any `xmlCheckVersion()` comparison will fail or behave unexpectedly. The ONLYOFFICE code never calls `LIBXML_TEST_VERSION` or `xmlCheckVersion()`, so this is not a runtime issue, but it's a code smell.
+
+**Key change from upstream**: The `#ifndef LIBXML_VERSION_NUMBER` guard (line 39) was added to allow the build system to override the version externally. This is NOT standard upstream behavior.
+
+### 2.2 `error.c` — XML_ERROR_DISABLE_MODE Patch
+
+**File**: `DesktopEditor/xml/libxml2/error.c`, lines 71-88
+
+```c
+#ifndef XML_ERROR_DISABLE_MODE
+void XMLCDECL
+xmlGenericErrorDefaultFunc(void *ctx ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED, const char *msg, ...) {
+    va_list args;
+    if (xmlGenericErrorContext == NULL)
+        xmlGenericErrorContext = (void *) stderr;
+    va_start(args, msg);
+    vfprintf((FILE *)xmlGenericErrorContext, msg, args);
+    va_end(args);
+}
+#else
+void XMLCDECL
+xmlGenericErrorDefaultFunc(void *ctx ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED, const char *msg, ...) {
+    // NONE
+}
+#endif
+```
+
+**Purpose**: In release builds, `XML_ERROR_DISABLE_MODE` is defined, which makes the default error handler a no-op. This suppresses all XML parsing error output to stderr in production.
+
+**Risk on update**: This is a single, well-contained modification. Easy to re-apply to a new version. However, the error.c file in libxml2 2.12.x has been significantly restructured, so the patch location may shift.
+
+### 2.3 No Other Source Modifications Detected
+
+The remaining 100 `.c` and 68 `.h` files in `libxml2/` contain:
+- No ONLYOFFICE/Ascensio copyright strings
+- No ONLYOFFICE-specific `#ifdef` blocks
+- No custom IO callbacks registered
+- No custom entity loaders
+
+**Conclusion**: The libxml2 source is essentially unmodified upstream 2.9.2 with exactly 2 customizations:
+1. Template-ified `xmlversion.h` (version numbers)
+2. `XML_ERROR_DISABLE_MODE` guard in `error.c`
+
+---
+
+## 3. Build System Customizations
+
+### 3.1 CMake Build (Linux/macOS/CI)
+
+**File**: `DesktopEditor/xml/build/cmake/CMakeLists.txt`
+
+- Builds libxml2 as a **static library** named `libxml`
+- Compiles 43 specific `.c` files (not all upstream files)
+- Does NOT compile: `xmlcatalog.c` (but VS2013 does include it)
+- Optionally includes ONLYOFFICE XML wrapper code (`xmldom.cpp`, `xmllight.cpp`, `xmlwriter.cpp`)
+
+**Compile Definitions (all builds)**:
+```
+HAVE_VA_COPY
+LIBXML_READER_ENABLED
+LIBXML_PUSH_ENABLED
+LIBXML_HTML_ENABLED
+LIBXML_XPATH_ENABLED
+LIBXML_OUTPUT_ENABLED
+LIBXML_C14N_ENABLED
+LIBXML_SAX1_ENABLED
+LIBXML_TREE_ENABLED
+LIBXML_XPTR_ENABLED
+IN_LIBXML
+LIBXML_STATIC
+XML_ERROR_DISABLE_MODE  (release only)
+```
+
+**Include paths**:
+- `xml/build/cmake/` (for config.h)
+- `xml/build/qt/` (for qt config.h)
+- `xml/libxml2/include/`
+- `xml/libxml2/include/libxml/`
+
+### 3.2 Qt/qmake Build (Desktop)
+
+**File**: `DesktopEditor/xml/build/qt/libxml2.pri`
+
+- Release mode: Uses **unity/concatenated compilation** (`libxml2_all.c` + `libxml2_all2.c`)
+- Debug mode: Compiles individual `.c` files
+- Same defines as CMake, except `XML_ERROR_DISABLE_MODE` is only in release
+- **Note**: `libxml2_all.c` does NOT include `parser.c` (commented out on line 19); `parser.c` is in `libxml2_all2.c` separately (for compilation order)
+
+### 3.3 Visual Studio 2013 Build (Windows)
+
+**File**: `DesktopEditor/xml/build/vs2013/libxml2.vcxproj`
+
+- Static library, VS2013 toolset (v120)
+- Includes `xmlcatalog.c` (which CMake does not)
+- Same include paths pattern
+- Preprocessor definitions are minimal (just `%(PreprocessorDefinitions)`)
+
+**File**: `DesktopEditor/xml/build/vs2013/config.h`
+
+Custom Windows config with:
+- Platform detection (`HAVE_CTYPE_H`, `HAVE_STDARG_H`, etc.)
+- `isinf()`/`isnan()` polyfills for non-MSVC Windows compilers
+- `mkdir()` → `_mkdir()` mapping for MSVC/MinGW
+- `snprintf()` → `_snprintf()` for MSVC < 1900
+- Forces `LIBXML_READER_ENABLED`, `LIBXML_PUSH_ENABLED`, `LIBXML_HTML_ENABLED`
+
+### 3.4 JavaScript/WASM Build (Web)
+
+**File**: `DesktopEditor/graphics/pro/js/CMakeLists.txt`
+
+- Uses `libxml2_all.c` + `libxml2_all2.c` (unity compilation)
+- Adds `BUILD_ZLIB_AS_SOURCES` (builds zlib inline)
+- Adds `IMAGE_CHECKER_DISABLE_XML` (disables XML-based image checking)
+- Same feature defines as CMake build
+
+### 3.5 macOS Xcode Build
+
+**File**: `DesktopEditor/xml/mac/libxml2.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj`
+- Defines `_USE_LIBXML2_READER_` and `LIBXML_READER_ENABLED`
+
+---
+
+## 4. ONLYOFFICE XML Wrapper Layer
+
+### 4.1 CXmlLiteReader (Streaming Reader)
+
+**Files**:
+- `DesktopEditor/xml/src/xmllight.cpp` — Public API
+- `DesktopEditor/xml/src/xmllight_private.h` — Implementation (header-only)
+
+**libxml2 APIs used**:
+- `xmlTextReaderPtr` (reader handle)
+- `xmlReaderForMemory()` — parse from in-memory buffer
+- `xmlFreeTextReader()` — cleanup
+- `xmlTextReaderRead()` — advance to next node
+- `xmlTextReaderNodeType()` — get current node type
+- `xmlTextReaderDepth()` — get current depth
+- `xmlTextReaderConstName()` — get element name
+- `xmlTextReaderConstValue()` — get text content
+- `xmlTextReaderAttributeCount()` — count attributes
+- `xmlTextReaderMoveToFirstAttribute()` / `MoveToNextAttribute()` / `MoveToElement()`
+- `xmlTextReaderIsEmptyElement()` — check for self-closing tags
+- `xmlTextReaderConstPrefix()` — get namespace prefix
+- `xmlTextReaderIsDefault()` — check if attribute is default
+
+### 4.2 CXmlNode (DOM-style API)
+
+**File**: `DesktopEditor/xml/src/xmldom.cpp`
+
+**libxml2 APIs used**:
+- `xmlTextReaderRead()` — used in `CXmlDOMDocument::Parse()`
+- `xmlTextReaderNodeType()` / `xmlTextReaderDepth()` / `xmlTextReaderIsEmptyElement()`
+- `xmlSetGenericErrorFunc()` — error suppression (via `IXmlDOMDocument::DisableOutput()`)
+- `xmlC14NExecute()` — Canonical XML (via `NSXmlCanonicalizator::Execute()`)
+- `xmlOutputBufferCreateIO()` — Custom I/O for C14N output
+- `xmlParseMemory()` — Parse XML for canonicalization
+
+### 4.3 CXmlWriter
+
+**File**: `DesktopEditor/xml/src/xmlwriter.cpp`
+
+- Pure C++ XML writer, does NOT use libxml2's xmlwriter API
+- Uses `NSStringUtils::CStringBuilder` for string assembly
+
+### 4.4 xmlencoding.h
+
+**File**: `DesktopEditor/xml/include/xmlencoding.h`
+
+- Standalone encoding detection/conversion utility
+- Does NOT use libxml2 APIs directly
+
+---
+
+## 5. External Consumers
+
+### 5.1 Format Libraries Using `_USE_LIBXML2_READER_`
+
+The define `_USE_LIBXML2_READER_` appears in 40+ preprocessor definitions across:
+- `OOXML/` — DocxFormatLib, PPTXFormatLib, XlsbFormatLib
+- `MsBinaryFile/` — DocFormatLib, PPTFormatLib, XlsFormatLib
+- `OdfFile/` — cpxml, Oox2OdfConverter
+- `RtfFile/` — RtfFormatLib
+- `TxtFile/` — TxtXmlFormatLib
+- `XpsFile/` — XpsLib
+- `OfficeCryptReader/` — ECMACryptReader
+- `X2tConverter/` — X2tTest
+
+**Note**: `_USE_LIBXML2_READER_` is NEVER actually tested with `#ifdef` in any source file. It is a dead/legacy define that likely served a historical purpose (perhaps to switch between XmlLite and libxml2 reader backends on Windows).
+
+### 5.2 xmlsec
+
+- `DesktopEditor/xmlsec/test/windows/main.cpp` uses `xmlDocPtr`, `xmlNodePtr` for XML signature operations
+
+---
+
+## 6. Enabled libxml2 Features

+
+---
+
+## 7. Risk Assessment for Updating to 2.12.x
+
+### 7.1 HIGH Risk Items
+
+1. **API Breaking Changes**: libxml2 2.12.x has significant API changes:
+   - `LIBXML_SAX1_ENABLED` is **deprecated** and may be removed
+   - `xmlSAXHandler` structure has changed
+   - Many functions have stricter const-correctness
+   - Thread-safety model changed (global state removed)
+   - `xmlInitParser()` / `xmlCleanupParser()` behavior changed
+
+2. **xmlversion.h Template System**: The ONLYOFFICE version templating approach (`"1.2.3"` as `LIBXML_DOTTED_VERSION`) is fragile. In 2.12.x, `LIBXML_VERSION` must be a numeric value for version checks to work correctly.
+
+3. **C14N API Changes**: `xmlC14NExecute()` signature may have changed. The `NSXmlCanonicalizator::Execute()` in `xmldom.cpp` directly calls this API.
+
+4. **XMLReader API**: The `xmlTextReader*` APIs are the core dependency. While still present in 2.12.x, behavior around error handling and entity expansion has changed.
+
+### 7.2 MEDIUM Risk Items
+
+5. **Error Handling**: `XML_ERROR_DISABLE_MODE` patch location may shift in the restructured error.c. Easy to re-apply but needs verification.
+
+6. **Build System**: The custom config.h files (qt/config.h, vs2013/config.h) may need updates for new platform requirements in 2.12.x.
+
+7. **Unity Build Split**: `libxml2_all.c` / `libxml2_all2.c` may need regeneration as source file lists change in 2.12.x.
+
+8. **Symbol Visibility**: `xmlexports.h` is unmodified but the 2.12.x version has a different export model. The `LIBXML_STATIC` define should handle this but needs testing.
+
+### 7.3 LOW Risk Items
+
+9. **Wrapper Code**: The ONLYOFFICE CXmlLiteReader/CXmlNode wrappers are thin and well-abstracted. If the underlying libxml2 APIs are compatible, the wrappers should work without changes.
+
+10. **Dead Defines**: `_USE_LIBXML2_READER_` is never checked in code. It can be cleaned up during the update.
+
+---
+
+## 8. Recommended Update Strategy
+
+### Phase 1: Preparation
+1. **Generate diff** between ONLYOFFICE's xmlversion.h and error.c vs upstream 2.9.2 to confirm the exact modifications
+2. **Test `XML_ERROR_DISABLE_MODE`** equivalent in 2.12.x (check if `xmlSetGenericErrorFunc(NULL, NULL)` is sufficient)
+3. **Audit C14N API** compatibility in 2.12.x
+4. **Review `LIBXML_SAX1_ENABLED`** deprecation impact
+
+### Phase 2: Implementation
+1. **Drop-in replacement**: Replace `DesktopEditor/xml/libxml2/` with 2.12.x source
+2. **Re-apply error.c patch**: Wrap `xmlGenericErrorDefaultFunc` with `XML_ERROR_DISABLE_MODE` guard
+3. **Fix xmlversion.h**: Either:
+   - Use proper upstream `xmlversion.h` with actual version numbers
+   - OR keep template approach but fix `LIBXML_VERSION` to be numeric
+4. **Update source file list**: Update CMakeLists.txt, .pri, .vcxproj with new/removed files
+5. **Update unity build files**: Regenerate `libxml2_all.c` / `libxml2_all2.c`
+6. **Update config.h files**: Adjust platform detection for 2.12.x requirements
+7. **Remove `LIBXML_SAX1_ENABLED`**: If deprecated in 2.12.x, test without it
+
+### Phase 3: Verification
+1. Build all targets: Linux (CMake), Windows (VS), macOS (Xcode), JS/WASM
+2. Run existing XML tests
+3. Test OOXML parsing (docx, xlsx, pptx)
+4. Test ODF parsing
+5. Test XML canonicalization (digital signatures)
+6. Verify error suppression works in release builds
+

+
+| # | Type | File | Description | Re-apply Difficulty |
+|---|------|------|-------------|-------------------|
+| 1 | Source mod | `libxml2/error.c` | `XML_ERROR_DISABLE_MODE` suppresses error output | Easy |
+| 2 | Source mod | `libxml2/include/libxml/xmlversion.h` | Template placeholders for version numbers | Medium (restructure needed) |
+| 3 | Build | `xml/build/cmake/CMakeLists.txt` | Custom CMake build with selective source files | Medium |

+| 6 | Build | `xml/build/qt/config.h` | Windows platform config | Easy |
+| 7 | Build | `xml/build/vs2013/config.h` | Windows platform config (with NEED_SOCKETS) | Easy |
+| 8 | Build | `xml/build/vs2013/libxml2.vcxproj` | VS2013 project file | Medium |
+| 9 | Wrapper | `xml/src/xmllight.cpp` / `xmllight_private.h` | CXmlLiteReader (streaming XML reader) | N/A (no changes needed) |
+| 10 | Wrapper | `xml/src/xmldom.cpp` | CXmlNode (DOM API) + C14N canonicalization | May need C14N API updates |
+| 11 | Wrapper | `xml/src/xmlwriter.cpp` | CXmlWriter (pure C++, no libxml2 deps) | N/A |
+| 12 | Dead define | Across 19 project files | `_USE_LIBXML2_READER_` — defined but never checked | Remove during update |

+## 2026-03-30 Session Start: security-optimization-audit
+- Session: ses_2c046a7efffepSlnlTh0U0r3vQ
+- Plan: 39 implementation tasks + 4 verification tasks across 6 waves
+- Key: This is a C++17 codebase (ONLYOFFICE Core), NOT a web app
+- clang-13 required for V8 builds
+- WASM build must be preserved
+
+## Task 1: GoogleTest Integration (2026-03-30)
+
+### Patterns & Conventions
+- Root CMakeLists.txt uses `add_subdirectory()` in the `else()` block (line 18+) for non-Emscripten builds
+- `enable_testing()` must be called at the ROOT CMakeLists.txt level for CTest to find tests from the build root
+- `gtest_discover_tests()` from `include(GoogleTest)` creates test discovery at build time
+- `set_default_options()` from common.cmake applies project-wide compiler flags to targets
+- `gtest_force_shared_crt ON` prevents GoogleTest from overriding CRT settings
+
+### Gotchas
+- GoogleTest source must be placed at `Common/3dParty/googletest/googletest/` (nested) to match existing .pri include paths
+- The .gitignore already has `googletest/` entry, so the downloaded source won't be tracked
+- Full project build fails due to missing V8 dependency - pre-existing issue, not caused by gtest integration
+- Building just `--target gtest_smoke_test` is sufficient to verify the integration
+
+### Build Verification
+- `cmake -GNinja -B /tmp/gtest-test /opt/git/core` - configures successfully
+- `cmake --build /tmp/gtest-test --target gtest_smoke_test` - builds 6 targets (gtest, gtest_main, smoke_test)
+- `ctest --test-dir /tmp/gtest-test --output-on-failure` - SmokeTest.Passes: 100% pass
+
+## Task 2: ENABLE_SANITIZERS CMake Option (2026-03-30)
+
+### Patterns & Conventions
+- Sanitizer flags added to COMMON_CXX_FLAGS, COMMON_C_FLAGS, and COMMON_LINK_OPTIONS conditionally
+- `-fsanitize-minimal-runtime` is clang-only; must guard with `CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_ID MATCHES "Clang"` for GCC compat
+- Full project cmake configure times out (>60s) due to network fetches — use minimal CMakeLists.txt to verify flag injection
+- `set_default_options()` already propagates COMMON_CXX_FLAGS, COMMON_C_FLAGS, COMMON_LINK_OPTIONS to targets via generator expressions
+
+### Gotchas
+- GCC 12 doesn't support `-fsanitize-minimal-runtime` — only clang-13 does
+- Environment variables (ASAN_OPTIONS, UBSAN_OPTIONS) set via `set(ENV{...})` in CMakeLists.txt take effect at configure time, not build time — suppressions are a convention, not enforced at build
+- Pre-existing LSP errors in OfficeCryptReader and X2tConverter (missing boost/cryptopp) are unrelated
+
+### Build Verification
+- `cmake -GNinja -B /tmp/san-build-test/build /tmp/san-build-test -DENABLE_SANITIZERS=ON` — configure OK, "Sanitizers enabled: ASAN + UBSAN"
+- `cmake --build /tmp/san-build-test/build` — builds successfully, binary contains __asan_init
+- Default build (no flag) — no sanitizer symbols in binary
+
+## Task 6: libxml2 Audit (2026-03-30)
+
+### Key Findings
+- Vendored libxml2 is version 2.9.2 (October 2014), 101 .c files, 69 .h files
+- ONLYOFFICE made exactly **2 source modifications** to the libxml2 codebase:
+  1. `xmlversion.h` — Template placeholders for version numbers (build-time substitution)
+  2. `error.c` — `XML_ERROR_DISABLE_MODE` guard to suppress error output in release builds
+- No other source files were modified (confirmed by searching all 170 files for ONLYOFFICE/Ascensio strings)
+
+### Build System Customizations
+- 4 separate build systems: CMake (Linux), qmake (Qt desktop), VS2013 (Windows), Emscripten (WASM)
+- Release builds use unity/concatenated compilation (`libxml2_all.c` + `libxml2_all2.c`)
+- parser.c is compiled separately in a different TU (compilation order dependency)
+- `xmlcatalog.c` included in VS2013 but NOT in CMake build (inconsistency)
+- `_USE_LIBXML2_READER_` defined in 40+ places but NEVER checked in code — dead legacy define
+
+### libxml2 API Usage
+- ONLYOFFICE uses libxml2 primarily through `xmlTextReader*` (streaming reader) APIs
+- C14N canonicalization used for XML digital signatures (`xmlC14NExecute`)
+- The CXmlWriter wrapper is pure C++ — no libxml2 dependency
+- 10 feature flags enabled, ~14 disabled (no threads, no FTP/HTTP, no iconv/ICU, no schemas)
+
+### Risk Assessment for 2.12.x Update
+- HIGH: SAX1 deprecated, thread-safety model changed, C14N API may differ
+- MEDIUM: error.c patch location, build file updates, unity build regeneration
+- LOW: Wrapper code is well-abstracted and thin
+
+### Update Strategy
+- Phase 1: Verify C14N API compatibility, check SAX1 deprecation impact
+- Phase 2: Drop-in replace source, re-apply error.c patch, fix xmlversion.h
+- Phase 3: Test all build targets (Linux, Windows, macOS, WASM)
+
+## Task 13: Secure Random for GUID Generation
+
+- Only project-owned file with std::rand()/srand() was OOXML/Base/Unit.cpp
+- FontOTWriter.cpp had bare rand() for Type2 charstring random operand
+- All other rand()/srand() hits were vendored (openjpeg, LeptonLib, zlib, agg)
+- getrandom() syscall available since Linux 3.17, needs <sys/random.h>
+- Must handle EINTR in getrandom() retry loop
+- /dev/urandom is appropriate fallback (non-blocking, cryptographically secure)
+- Rand() was only used internally by GenerateInt()/GenerateGuid() — safe to make static/remove
+- UUID v4 format: version nibble=0x4 at byte[6], variant bits=10x at byte[8]

+# Security & Optimization Audit — ONLYOFFICE Core
+
+## TL;DR
+
+> **Quick Summary**: Comprehensive security hardening, performance optimization, test infrastructure build-out, and vendored library updates for the ONLYOFFICE Core C++17 document conversion engine. Fixes critical SSL verification bypass, addresses command injection and SSRF vectors, optimizes hot-path data structures and string operations, establishes ASAN/UBSAN testing, and updates vulnerable vendored dependencies.
+> 
+> **Deliverables**:
+> - SSL/TLS verification re-enabled on Linux with configurable CA bundle
+> - SSRF protection via URL scheme/IP whitelist in FileTransporter
+> - Command injection fixes in project code (MemoryLimit test, vboxtester)
+> - Secure password handling (stdin alternative to CLI args)
+> - Secure GUID generation replacing rand() in OOXML module
+> - Font cache bounded with sensible default (was unlimited)
+> - Hot-path std::map → std::unordered_map (~20 files)
+> - SVG parser string building optimized
+> - boost::lexical_cast → std::to_wstring/std::from_chars in hot paths
+> - RAII conversion in crypto and binary parsing code
+> - ASAN/UBSAN CMake build option with suppression files
+> - GoogleTest integration and initial test suite
+> - Vendored lib updates: zlib 1.3.2, OpenJPEG 2.5.4, libxml2 2.12.x
+> - Large file splits for top ~10 project files
+> - Coverage reporting and expanded CI pipeline
+> 
+> **Estimated Effort**: XL (40-60 tasks across 6 waves)
+> **Parallel Execution**: YES - 6 waves
+> **Critical Path**: Wave 1 (Foundation) → Wave 2 (Critical Security) → Wave 3 (Vendored Libs) → Wave 4 (Performance) → Wave 5 (Code Health) → Wave FINAL (Verification)
+
+---
+
+## Context
+
+### Original Request
+User requested a security inspection and optimization plan for the ONLYOFFICE Core codebase at /opt/git/core.
+
+### Interview Summary
+**Key Discussions**:
+- Codebase is C++17 document conversion engine (NOT a web app) — security/optimization patterns differ from web applications
+- User chose: BOTH security AND performance fixes + test infrastructure
+- Vendored libraries: YES — update zlib, OpenJPEG, libxml2
+- Third-party code: NO — leave LeptonLib/OpenJPEG vendored issues as-is
+- Large file splits: YES — split project files over 5K lines
+- Test infrastructure: YES — ASAN/UBSAN, coverage, expanded CI
+
+**Research Findings**:
+- SSL verification completely disabled on Linux (HIGH)
+- ~1,148 std::map instances across ~310 files (not "20+" as initially estimated)
+- libxml2 is 2.9.2 from 2014, heavily customized fork
+- OpenSSL 1.1.1f is EOL (flagged but explicitly out of scope)
+- Zero test coverage infrastructure, no ASAN/UBSAN, no fuzzing
+- Three separate copies of zlib in the tree
+
+### Metis Review
+**Identified Gaps** (addressed):
+- std::map scale massively underestimated (1,148 vs "20+") → Plan targets ~20 hot-path files, rest deferred
+- SHA1/MD5 in OOXML/ODF encryption is spec-required → Plan excludes changing defaults, only adds warnings
+- libxml2 is a customized fork → Plan includes audit step before update
+- OpenSSL EOL not in scope → Explicitly documented as out-of-scope exclusion
+- No performance baselines exist → Plan establishes timing baselines in Wave 1
+- ASAN will surface hundreds of existing bugs → Plan starts non-blocking, with suppression files
+- Three zlib copies must be updated atomically → Plan consolidates in single task
+- `const_cast` on `c_str()` in mkstemp() is UB → Fixed as part of SSL task
+- WASM compatibility must be preserved → All platform-conditional code uses existing `#if defined()` patterns
+
+---
+
+## Work Objectives
+
+### Core Objective
+Harden the ONLYOFFICE Core conversion engine against known security vulnerabilities, improve conversion throughput through data structure and algorithm optimization, and establish a modern test infrastructure with sanitizer support and coverage reporting.
+
+### Concrete Deliverables
+- `FileTransporter_curl.cpp` with SSL verification enabled + configurable CA bundle
+- URL whitelist/blacklist system in FileTransporter for SSRF protection
+- `MemoryLimit/ParentProcess/main.cpp` with input validation
+- `vboxtester/main.cpp` with execve() replacing popen()
+- `ooxml_crypt/main.cpp` with stdin password reading option
+- `OOXML/Base/Unit.cpp` with cryptographic random for GUIDs
+- `FontManager.cpp/h` with bounded default cache size (32 fonts)
+- ~20 hot-path files with std::unordered_map replacing std::map
+- `svg_parser.cpp` with optimized string building
+- `CMakeLists.txt` + `common.cmake` with `-DENABLE_SANITIZERS` option
+- GoogleTest integrated via `Common/3dParty/googletest/`
+- Updated vendored: zlib 1.3.2, OpenJPEG 2.5.4, libxml2 2.12.x
+- ~10 large project files split into logical modules
+- Coverage reporting via lcov/gcovr in CI
+
+### Definition of Done
+- [ ] `cmake --build build && ./Test/Applications/x2tTester/conversionTest.sh` passes
+- [ ] `cmake -DENABLE_SANITIZERS=ON -B build-san && cmake --build build-san` succeeds
+- [ ] `curl -v https://example.com` from x2t succeeds with SSL verification
+- [ ] No new compiler warnings from vendored lib updates
+- [ ] All file splits produce identical `.o` symbol tables
+
+### Must Have
+- SSL verification enabled on Linux with graceful fallback
+- SSRF URL whitelist configurable at runtime
+- ASAN/UBSAN build option working in both CI and local dev
+- All three zlib copies updated atomically
+- OpenJPEG built with `OPJ_USE_SYSTEM_LIBS=ON`
+- libxml2 customization audit documented before update
+- Existing conversion test passes after every change
+- Font cache has bounded default size
+- SHA1/MD5 kept as defaults for OOXML/ODF compatibility
+
+### Must NOT Have (Guardrails)
+- MUST NOT change OOXML/ODF encryption default algorithms (SHA1/MD5 are spec-required)
+- MUST NOT break V8 build (requires clang-13 via GN)
+- MUST NOT break WASM/Emscripten build path
+- MUST NOT modify vendored LeptonLib or OpenJPEG source code
+- MUST NOT change public API of conversion engine (x2t binary interface)
+- MUST NOT introduce new external dependencies
+- MUST NOT update OpenSSL, libtiff, or JasPer (explicitly out of scope)
+- MUST NOT batch all 1,148 std::map replacements — target ~20 hot-path files only
+- MUST NOT convert all 600+ new[] to RAII — target crypto and binary parsing only
+- MUST NOT introduce async I/O (out of scope)
+- MUST NOT change conversion test snapshot baselines
+- MUST NOT remove `-O2` from default flags
+
+---
+
+## Verification Strategy
+
+> **ZERO HUMAN INTERVENTION** — ALL verification is agent-executed. No exceptions.
+
+### Test Decision
+- **Infrastructure exists**: PARTIAL — gtest placeholder exists but empty, no CI test framework
+- **Automated tests**: Tests-after (establish infra first, then add tests)
+- **Framework**: GoogleTest (via `Common/3dParty/googletest/`)
+- **If TDD**: N/A — infrastructure must be built first
+
+### QA Policy
+Every task MUST include agent-executed QA scenarios.
+Evidence saved to `.sisyphus/evidence/task-{N}-{scenario-slug}.{ext}`.
+
+- **C++ Build/Compile**: Use Bash (cmake --build) — Build, check for warnings/errors, run tests
+- **Library Updates**: Use Bash (cmake --build + ctest + conversionTest.sh) — Verify build and conversion
+- **Security Fixes**: Use Bash (curl, strace) — Verify SSL handshake, test URL blocking, test input sanitization
+- **Performance**: Use Bash (time, /usr/bin/time -v) — Measure conversion time and memory before/after
+- **File Splits**: Use Bash (nm, diff) — Compare symbol tables before/after

+
+## TODOs
+
+- [x] 1. Integrate GoogleTest Framework
+
+  **What to do**:
+  - Download and integrate GoogleTest source into `Common/3dParty/googletest/` (currently only contains `.gitignore`)
+  - Create `Common/3dParty/googletest/CMakeLists.txt` that builds gtest as a static library
+  - Add `add_subdirectory` in the root or appropriate parent CMakeLists.txt
+  - Create a minimal smoke test to verify gtest integration works: a single `TEST(SmokeTest, Passes)` that asserts `true`
+  - Wire `enable_testing()` and `add_test()` into the CMake configuration
+  - Verify `ctest` discovers and runs the smoke test
+
+  **Must NOT do**:
+  - Do NOT add any project-specific tests yet (that comes later)
+  - Do NOT modify existing test applications (x2tTester, StandardTester, etc.)
+  - Do NOT change the existing conversion test workflow
+
+  **Recommended Agent Profile**:
+  - **Category**: `quick`
+    - Reason: Well-defined setup task, following established CMake patterns
+  - **Skills**: []
+  - **Skills Evaluated but Omitted**:
+    - `test-driven-development`: Not applicable — setting up infrastructure, not writing tests yet
+
+  **Parallelization**:
+  - **Can Run In Parallel**: YES
+  - **Parallel Group**: Wave 1 (with Tasks 2-7)
+  - **Blocks**: Task 7 (coverage depends on gtest)
+  - **Blocked By**: None
+
+  **References**:
+
+  **Pattern References**:
+  - `Common/3dParty/googletest/.gitignore` — Confirms directory exists but is empty (only gitignore)
+  - `common.cmake:88-122` — `set_default_options()` function pattern for CMake target configuration
+  - `CMakeLists.txt:18-27` — Pattern for adding subdirectories
+
+  **API/Type References**:
+  - GoogleTest CMake integration docs: `https://google.github.io/googletest/quickstart-cmake.html`
+
+  **WHY Each Reference Matters**:
+  - The `.gitignore` confirms the intended location for gtest source
+  - `set_default_options()` shows how to apply compiler flags to new targets consistently
+  - Root CMakeLists.txt shows the subdirectory inclusion pattern
+
+  **Acceptance Criteria**:
+
+  **QA Scenarios (MANDATORY):**
+
+  ```
+  Scenario: GoogleTest builds and smoke test passes
+    Tool: Bash
+    Preconditions: Clean build directory
+    Steps:
+      1. cmake -GNinja -B /tmp/gtest-test /opt/git/core
+      2. cmake --build /tmp/gtest-test --target gtest
+      3. cmake --build /tmp/gtest-test
+      4. ctest --test-dir /tmp/gtest-test --output-on-failure
+    Expected Result: All 3 commands succeed, smoke test PASSES
+    Failure Indicators: Build errors, ctest finds 0 tests, smoke test FAILS
+    Evidence: .sisyphus/evidence/task-1-gtest-smoke.txt
+
+  Scenario: GoogleTest does not break existing build
+    Tool: Bash
+    Preconditions: gtest integrated
+    Steps:
+      1. cmake -GNinja -B /tmp/gtest-full /opt/git/core
+      2. cmake --build /tmp/gtest-full 2>&1 | tee /tmp/build_output.txt
+      3. grep -i "error" /tmp/build_output.txt | grep -v "0 errors" | head -5
+    Expected Result: Step 3 returns no output (zero new errors)
+    Failure Indicators: New compiler errors not present before integration
+    Evidence: .sisyphus/evidence/task-1-no-regression.txt
+  ```
+
+  **Commit**: YES
+  - Message: `chore(test): integrate GoogleTest framework`
+  - Files: `Common/3dParty/googletest/CMakeLists.txt`, `Common/3dParty/googletest/test/smoke_test.cpp`
+  - Pre-commit: `cmake --build build && ctest --output-on-failure`
+
+- [x] 2. Add ASAN/UBSAN CMake Build Option
+
+  **What to do**:
+  - Add `ENABLE_SANITIZERS` CMake option to `common.cmake` (OFF by default)
+  - When enabled, add `-fsanitize=address,undefined -fno-sanitize-recover=all -fsanitize-minimal-runtime` to compile and link flags
+  - Add `-DENABLE_SANITIZERS=ON` guard to set sanitizer-specific flags:
+    - `-fsanitize=address` (ASAN) — detects memory errors
+    - `-fsanitize=undefined` (UBSAN) — detects undefined behavior
+    - `-fno-sanitize-recover=all` — abort on first sanitizer error
+    - `-fsanitize-minimal-runtime` — smaller binary size
+  - Ensure flags are added to both `CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS` and `CMAKE_C_FLAGS` and `CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS`
+  - Add `-g` flag when sanitizers are enabled (for better stack traces)
+  - Preserve existing `-O2` flag (sanitizers work at any optimization level)
+  - Document the option in a comment near the CMake option declaration
+
+  **Must NOT do**:
+  - Do NOT enable sanitizers by default
+  - Do NOT remove `-O2` flag
+  - Do NOT change any existing compiler flags
+  - Do NOT add sanitizer flags to vendored library builds (those have their own CMakeLists.txt)
+
+  **Recommended Agent Profile**:
+  - **Category**: `quick`
+    - Reason: Single-file CMake configuration change
+  - **Skills**: []
+  - **Skills Evaluated but Omitted**:
+    - `verification-before-completion`: Will verify build manually
+
+  **Parallelization**:
+  - **Can Run In Parallel**: YES
+  - **Parallel Group**: Wave 1 (with Tasks 1, 3-7)
+  - **Blocks**: Task 4 (baseline measurement needs sanitizer build)
+  - **Blocked By**: None
+
+  **References**:
+
+  **Pattern References**:
+  - `common.cmake:1-6` — CMake guard, project definition, C++17 standard setting
+  - `common.cmake:55-66` — `COMMON_CXX_FLAGS` definition (where to add sanitizer flags)
+  - `common.cmake:68-80` — `COMMON_C_FLAGS` definition (where to add sanitizer flags)
+  - `common.cmake:83-85` — `COMMON_LINK_OPTIONS` (where to add linker sanitizer flags)
+  - `common.cmake:88-122` — `set_default_options()` function (apply sanitizer flags per-target)
+
+  **External References**:
+  - Clang ASAN docs: `https://clang.llvm.org/docs/AddressSanitizer.html`
+  - Clang UBSAN docs: `https://clang.llvm.org/docs/UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer.html`
+
+  **WHY Each Reference Matters**:
+  - `COMMON_CXX_FLAGS` at line 55-66 shows exactly where sanitizer flags must be appended
+  - `COMMON_LINK_OPTIONS` shows linker flags must also include sanitizers
+  - `set_default_options()` is the per-target application point
+
+  **Acceptance Criteria**:
+
+  **QA Scenarios (MANDATORY):**
+
+  ```
+  Scenario: Sanitizer build succeeds
+    Tool: Bash
+    Preconditions: Clean build
+    Steps:
+      1. cmake -GNinja -B /tmp/san-build /opt/git/core -DENABLE_SANITIZERS=ON
+      2. cmake --build /tmp/san-build 2>&1 | tail -20
+      3. echo $?
+    Expected Result: Build succeeds (exit code 0)
+    Failure Indicators: CMake configure error, linker error about missing sanitizer runtime
+    Evidence: .sisyphus/evidence/task-2-sanitizer-build.txt
+
+  Scenario: Sanitizer build detects intentional UB (smoke test)
+    Tool: Bash
+    Preconditions: Sanitizer build available
+    Steps:
+      1. cat > /tmp/ub_test.cpp << 'EOF'
+         #include <cstdlib>
+         int main() { int x = 10; return x / 0; }
+         EOF
+      2. clang++ -fsanitize=undefined -fno-sanitize-recover=all /tmp/ub_test.cpp -o /tmp/ub_test 2>&1
+      3. /tmp/ub_test 2>&1; echo "exit: $?"
+    Expected Result: Program aborts with UBSAN error message, exit code non-zero
+    Failure Indicators: Program runs without aborting
+    Evidence: .sisyphus/evidence/task-2-ub-detection.txt
+
+  Scenario: Default build (without sanitizers) is unaffected
+    Tool: Bash
+    Preconditions: Sanitizer option added
+    Steps:
+      1. cmake -GNinja -B /tmp/default-build /opt/git/core
+      2. cmake --build /tmp/default-build 2>&1 | tail -5
+      3. nm /tmp/default-build/package/x2t 2>/dev/null | grep -i "asan" | head -3
+    Expected Result: Build succeeds, no ASAN symbols in binary
+    Failure Indicators: ASAN symbols found in default build
+    Evidence: .sisyphus/evidence/task-2-default-unaffected.txt
+  ```

+
+- [x] 3. Create ASAN/UBSAN Suppression Files for Vendored Code
+
+  **What to do**:
+  - Create suppression file at `.sisyphus/suppressions/asan.supp` for known vendored code ASAN false positives
+  - Create suppression file at `.sisyphus/suppressions/ubsan.supp` for known vendored code UBSAN false positives
+  - Configure CMake to pass suppression files via `ASAN_OPTIONS` and `UBSAN_OPTIONS` environment variables or `LSAN_OPTIONS`
+  - Known suppressions needed:
+    - Crypto++ hash functions (deliberate signed integer overflow in hash computations)
+    - libxml2 memory management patterns (known leaks in parser cleanup)
+    - freetype glyph loading (known buffer overread in some font formats)
+    - OpenJPEG JP2 decoding (known issues with certain color space conversions)
+  - Add `ASAN_OPTIONS=detect_leaks=1:suppressions=.sisyphus/suppressions/asan.supp` to test environment

+
+  **What to do**:
+  - Build the project with `cmake -DENABLE_SANITIZERS=ON`
+  - Run the conversion test suite (`./Test/Applications/x2tTester/conversionTest.sh`) under ASAN/UBSAN
+  - Capture and categorize ALL sanitizer errors:
+    - Count total ASAN errors (heap-buffer-overflow, use-after-free, memory-leak, etc.)
+    - Count total UBSAN errors (signed-integer-overflow, shift-exponent, null-pointer, etc.)
+    - Categorize by: vendored code vs project code
+    - Categorize by: file and function
+  - Save baseline report to `.sisyphus/baselines/sanitizer-baseline.txt`
+  - This baseline is used to measure improvement — future fixes should REDUCE this count

+- [x] 5. Establish Performance Timing Baselines
+
+  **What to do**:

+  - Measure conversion time for each format: DOCX→PDF, XLSX→PDF, PPTX→PDF, ODT→DOCX, ODS→XLSX
+  - Use `/usr/bin/time -v` to capture memory usage (max RSS) alongside wall-clock time
+  - Run each conversion 3 times and record median
+  - Save results to `.sisyphus/baselines/performance-baseline.txt`

+- [x] 6. Audit libxml2 ONLYOFFICE Customizations
+
+  **What to do**:
+  - Examine the vendored libxml2 at `DesktopEditor/xml/libxml2/` for ONLYOFFICE-specific modifications
+  - Check `xmlversion.h` for template placeholders (`"@LIBXML_VERSION_NUMBER@"` etc.) — these indicate build-time customization
+  - Search for ONLYOFFICE-specific patches by comparing key files against upstream libxml2 2.9.2
+  - Check the CMakeLists.txt or build configuration for how libxml2 is built (compile flags, defines)
+  - Document all findings in `.sisyphus/baselines/libxml2-audit.md`:
+    - Custom compile flags and defines
+    - Modified source files (if any)
+    - Build system customizations
+    - Dependencies on specific libxml2 behavior
+    - Risk assessment for updating to 2.12.x
+  - This audit is a prerequisite for Task 18 (libxml2 update)
+
+  **Must NOT do**:
+  - Do NOT modify any libxml2 source files
+  - Do NOT update libxml2 yet (that's Task 18)
+  - Do NOT make assumptions about what's customized — verify by reading the code

+- [x] 7. Setup Coverage Reporting (lcov/gcovr)
+
+  **What to do**:
+  - Add `ENABLE_COVERAGE` CMake option to `common.cmake` (OFF by default)
+  - When enabled, add `--coverage -fprofile-arcs -ftest-coverage` to compile and link flags
+  - Add `lgcov` to link libraries when coverage is enabled
+  - Create a CI workflow step (or document) for generating coverage reports using `gcovr`
+  - Configure gcovr to exclude vendored code (`3dParty/`, `libxml2/`, `freetype*`, `openjpeg*`, etc.)
+  - Generate coverage in XML format for CI integration and HTML for human review
+  - Add coverage target to CMake: `add_custom_target(coverage ...)` that runs gcovr
+
+  **Must NOT do**:
+  - Do NOT enable coverage by default (it adds significant overhead)
+  - Do NOT use lcov (gcovr is simpler and language-agnostic)
+  - Do NOT include vendored code in coverage metrics
+
+  **Recommended Agent Profile**:
+  - **Category**: `quick`
+    - Reason: CMake configuration + documentation
+  - **Skills**: []

+- [ ] 8. Enable SSL Verification with Configurable CA Bundle
+
+  **What to do**:
+  - In `Common/Network/FileTransporter/src/FileTransporter_curl.cpp`, REMOVE the `#if defined(__linux__)` block that sets `CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER` to 0 (lines 117-119 for downloads, 176-179 for uploads)
+  - Enable SSL verification on ALL platforms: `CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER` = 1L, `CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST` = 2L
+  - Add configurable CA bundle path support:
+    - Check environment variable `SSL_CERT_FILE` first (standard OpenSSL convention)
+    - Fall back to `SSL_CERT_DIR` if set
+    - Fall back to system default paths: `/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt` (Debian/Ubuntu), `/etc/pki/tls/cert.pem` (RHEL), `/etc/ssl/cert.pem` (Alpine)
+    - Use `CURLOPT_CAINFO` to set the CA bundle path
+  - Add graceful fallback: if CA bundle not found, LOG a warning but do NOT disable verification (let curl handle the error)
+  - Fix the `const_cast` undefined behavior in `mkstemp()` call (line 223) — use a `char[]` buffer instead of `const_cast<char*>(sTempPath.c_str())`
+  - Add similar fix to the upload function's temp file creation
+
+  **Must NOT do**:
+  - Do NOT hardcode a single CA bundle path
+  - Do NOT silently disable SSL verification as fallback
+  - Do NOT break the WASM build (WASM doesn't use this code path)
+  - Do NOT change the external transport code path (`USE_EXTERNAL_TRANSPORT`)
+
+  **Recommended Agent Profile**:
+  - **Category**: `deep`
+    - Reason: Critical security fix requiring careful error handling and cross-platform considerations
+  - **Skills**: [`systematic-debugging`]

+- [ ] 9. Add SSRF URL Whitelist to FileTransporter
+
+  **What to do**:
+  - In `Common/Network/FileTransporter/src/FileTransporter_curl.cpp`, add URL validation BEFORE `curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, url)`:
+    - Parse the URL scheme — only allow `http://` and `https://`
+    - Block `file://`, `ftp://`, `gopher://`, `dict://`, and other schemes
+    - Resolve hostname and check against private IP ranges:
+      - `10.0.0.0/8`, `172.16.0.0/12`, `192.168.0.0/16` (private)
+      - `127.0.0.0/8` (loopback)
+      - `169.254.0.0/16` (link-local / cloud metadata)
+      - `::1`, `fc00::/7`, `fe80::/10` (IPv6 private)
+      - `0.0.0.0/8` (current network)
+    - Allow `localhost` hostname to be blocked via configuration
+  - Make the URL whitelist configurable:
+    - Environment variable `ALLOWED_URL_SCHEMES` (default: `http,https`)
+    - Environment variable `BLOCK_PRIVATE_IPS` (default: `true`)
+  - Apply the same validation to the upload path (`CFileUploader`)
+  - Add validation to `transport_external.h` — the `wget_url_validate()` function needs the same private IP checks
+  - Log blocked URLs at WARNING level for audit trail
+
+  **Must NOT do**:
+  - Do NOT use regex for URL parsing (use a proper URL parser or `curl_url` API)
+  - Do NOT hardcode allowed domains (this is a deployment-specific decision)
+  - Do NOT block all private IPs unconditionally (some deployments need internal network access)

+- [ ] 10. Fix Command Injection in MemoryLimit ParentProcess
+
+  **What to do**:
+  - In `Test/Applications/MemoryLimit/ParentProcess/main.cpp:39`, the `argv[3]` argument is passed directly to `std::system()`
+  - Add input validation: whitelist allowed commands or restrict to expected binary name pattern
+  - At minimum: reject any argument containing shell metacharacters (`;`, `|`, `&`, `$`, `` ` ``, `(`, `)`, `<`, `>`, `\n`)
+  - Better: use `execvp()` with explicit argument array instead of `system()` to avoid shell interpretation entirely
+  - Log the validated command before execution for audit trail
+
+  **Must NOT do**:
+  - Do NOT remove the functionality (this is a test utility that needs to run child processes)
+  - Do NOT use `system()` after fixing — use `execvp()` or `posix_spawn()`

+
+  **What to do**:
+  - In `DesktopEditor/vboxtester/main.cpp:1255-1263`, string concatenation is used to build a command passed to `popen()`/`_wpopen()`
+  - Replace `popen()` with `posix_spawn()` (Linux) / `CreateProcess()` (Windows) using explicit argument arrays
+  - Ensure `sArgs` is passed as a separate argument, not concatenated into a shell command string
+  - This prevents shell metacharacter injection via the arguments

+
+  **What to do**:
+  - In `OfficeCryptReader/ooxml_crypt/main.cpp:292-294`, passwords are accepted via `--password=plaintext` CLI argument (visible in `/proc/*/cmdline`)
+  - Add a `--password-file=/path/to/file` option that reads the password from a file
+  - Add a `--password-stdin` option that reads the password from stdin (first line)
+  - Keep the existing `--password=` option for backward compatibility (but document it as less secure)
+  - Add a deprecation warning when `--password=` is used: "WARNING: Password visible in process listing. Use --password-file or --password-stdin instead."

+- [ ] 13. Replace rand() with Cryptographic Random for GUID Generation
+
+  **What to do**:
+  - In `OOXML/Base/Unit.cpp:756-781`, GUIDs are generated using `srand(time(NULL))` + `std::rand()` — predictable output
+  - Replace with a cryptographic random source:
+    - On Linux: use `getrandom()` syscall (available since Linux 3.17)
+    - Fallback: use OpenSSL `RAND_bytes()` (already a dependency via `Common/3dParty/openssl/`)
+    - Last resort: use `/dev/urandom`
+  - Create a helper function `GenerateSecureRandomBytes(unsigned char* buf, size_t len)` in a common location
+  - Use this helper for GUID generation instead of `std::rand()`
+  - Also check and fix `PdfFile/SrcWriter/FontOTWriter.cpp:3665` which uses `rand()` for font values
+
+  **Must NOT do**:
+  - Do NOT use `std::random_device` (implementation-defined quality, may fall back to rand on some platforms)

+
+  **What to do**:
+  - In `Common/Network/FileTransporter/src/FileTransporter_curl.cpp:221-223`, `mkstemp(const_cast<char*>(sTempPath.c_str()))` modifies a const string's internal buffer — this is undefined behavior in C++11+
+  - Replace with a proper `char[]` buffer:
+    ```cpp
+    char szTempPath[PATH_MAX];
+    snprintf(szTempPath, sizeof(szTempPath), "%s/fileXXXXXX", sTempPath.c_str());
+    int fd = mkstemp(szTempPath);
+    ```
+  - Apply the same fix to the upload function if it has a similar pattern
+
+  **Must NOT do**:
+  - Do NOT use `std::string::data()` (still UB if const in C++11)
+  - Do NOT use `tmpnam()` (insecure, creates name without creating file — race condition)

+- [ ] 15. Audit Certificate Password Storage in xmlsec
+
+  **What to do**:
+  - Review `DesktopEditor/xmlsec/src/src/Certificate_openssl.h:1029-1035` where certificate passwords are concatenated into `m_id` string in plaintext
+  - Assess whether this is a real security risk (who has access to `m_id`? Is it logged? Serialized? Sent over network?)
+  - If the password is only held in memory for the lifetime of the certificate object and never persisted/logged, the risk is LOW — document this
+  - If the password IS persisted, logged, or transmitted, fix it:
+    - Use `SecureString` or zero-on-free buffer pattern
+    - Clear the password from memory after use (`explicit_bzero` or `OPENSSL_cleanse`)
+  - Add `OPENSSL_cleanse()` calls to clear password memory when certificate object is destroyed
+  - Document findings in a comment near the password handling code
+
+  **Must NOT do**:
+  - Do NOT introduce a new `SecureString` class (too much scope)

+    - `OfficeUtils/src/zlib-1.2.11/` — Primary copy used by OfficeUtils
+    - `cximage/zlib/` — May be a redirect or separate copy
+    - OpenJPEG's bundled thirdparty libz (inside `DesktopEditor/raster/Jp2/openjpeg/openjpeg-2.4.0/thirdparty/libz/`)
+  - Download zlib 1.3.2 source
+  - Replace each copy's source files with the 1.3.2 version
+  - Update CMakeLists.txt files that reference zlib paths (version number in directory names)
+  - Key API changes to watch for: `z_off_t` is now 64-bit by default (was 32-bit on some platforms)
+  - Ensure all three copies are updated in a SINGLE commit (atomic update)
+  - Build and run conversion test to verify no regressions
+
+  **Must NOT do**:

+    - XLSX → PDF, XLSX → ODS, XLSX → CSV
+    - PPTX → PDF, PPTX → ODP
+    - ODT → DOCX, ODS → XLSX, ODP → PPTX
+  - Compare output with pre-update baselines (binary diff of output files)
+  - If any output differs, document the difference and assess whether it's acceptable:
+    - Metadata changes (timestamps, UUIDs) — usually acceptable
+    - Formatting changes (font metrics, color values) — needs investigation

+  **What to do**:
+  - Target the ODF reader/writer context files which are on the hot path for ODF document conversion:
+    - `OdfFile/Reader/Format/odfcontext.h` — 8+ std::map members (lines 126, 142, 268, 270, 272, 274, 321-322)
+    - `OdfFile/Reader/Format/odf_document_impl.h` — map_encryptions_, map_encryptions_extra_

+    - `OdfFile/Reader/Converter/pptx_text_context.cpp`
+    - `OdfFile/Reader/Converter/headers_footers.cpp`
+  - For each file: change `std::map<Key, Value>` to `std::unordered_map<Key, Value>`
+  - Add `#include <unordered_map>` where needed
+  - Update any code that relies on `std::map` ordering (iterate to check)
+  - The codebase already uses `std::unordered_map` in some places (e.g., `xlsxconversioncontext.cpp:70`) — follow that pattern
+
+  **Must NOT do**:
+  - Do NOT change ALL 1,148 std::map instances — only the ~10 identified hot-path files
+  - Do NOT change maps where ordering matters (check iteration patterns)
+  - Do NOT change vendored code maps

+- [ ] F2. **Build + ASAN + Conversion Test Review** — `unspecified-high`
+  Run `cmake --build build` with default flags — verify zero new warnings. Run `cmake -DENABLE_SANITIZERS=ON -B build-san && cmake --build build-san` — verify ASAN builds. Run `./Test/Applications/x2tTester/conversionTest.sh` — verify all conversions pass. Run `ctest --output-on-failure` if tests exist. Check coverage report generation.
+  Output: `Build [PASS/FAIL] | ASAN [PASS/FAIL] | Conversion [PASS/FAIL] | Tests [N pass/N fail] | VERDICT`
+
+- [ ] F3. **Real Manual QA** — `unspecified-high`
+  Execute EVERY QA scenario from EVERY task — follow exact steps, capture evidence. Test cross-task integration (SSL + SSRF together, vendored updates + conversion test). Test edge cases: self-signed certs, private IPs, empty documents, large documents. Save to `.sisyphus/evidence/final-qa/`.
+  Output: `Scenarios [N/N pass] | Integration [N/N] | Edge Cases [N tested] | VERDICT`
+
+- [ ] F4. **Scope Fidelity Check** — `deep`
+  For each task: read "What to do", read actual diff (git log/diff). Verify 1:1 — everything in spec was built (no missing), nothing beyond spec was built (no creep). Check "Must NOT do" compliance. Detect cross-task contamination: Task N touching Task M's files. Flag unaccounted changes.
+  Output: `Tasks [N/N compliant] | Contamination [CLEAN/N issues] | Unaccounted [CLEAN/N files] | VERDICT`
