 | **AR-03** | **IDOR** — sequential IDs + no RBAC → a user can access another's document by guessing the ID. | Consequence of AR-01. | Audit trail. | Closed with RBAC. |
 | **AR-04** | **GRN-without-PO** — receive (and value) goods with no order; a fraud vector. | Emergency/direct receipt is useful (FR-GRN-02). | Permission-gated (when RBAC on); flagged for review; audit; cost entered here gets extra scrutiny (see C.3). | With RBAC / policy on direct receipts. |
 | **AR-05** | **In-transit loss window** — dispatched-but-not-received stock is untracked shrinkage risk. | Inherent to in-transit transfers (FR-STK-05). | In-transit aging monitoring report. | Add stuck-transfer alert (Part D). |
-| **AR-06** | **Localhost dev secrets** in `appsettings.Development.json`. | Local-dev convenience, current phase. | `.gitignore` + localhost only. | Before any shared/staging/prod → User Secrets / env vars; rotate. |
+| **AR-06** | **Committed secrets (historical).** `appsettings.Development.json` (DB password), `appsettings.json` (GL API key) and `Backend/smoke/smoke_common.py` (AuthHex login) were committed while the repo was publicly readable. | Local-dev convenience in early phases. | **Now closed going forward:** env-specific appsettings untracked, base `appsettings.json` and smoke defaults hold no secrets, deployed secrets live only in `/etc/erpcore/erpcore.env` on the server (`40-DEPLOYMENT.md` A.2 / §5), non-Development startup fails on missing keys. | The exposed values stay readable in git history → **rotate** the GL API key, Postgres password and the AuthHex account password, and keep the repo private. |
 | **AR-07** | **`getUserDetails` / `LogoutUser` callable without a bearer token** — `GET /api/v1/auth/users/{userId}` and `POST /api/v1/auth/logout` resolve the target user from the URL/payload, not the caller's session, so any anonymous caller can fetch a profile or log out an arbitrary user's sessions by GUID. | Carried over verbatim from AuthHex's own dispatcher contract (API_REFERENCE.md §3) — ERPCore's `AuthController` proxies it as-is rather than silently tightening a contract it doesn't own. | GUIDs are not enumerable; every call is written to `AuthEventLogs` upstream in AuthHex. | Revisit once AuthHex exposes a token-scoped variant, or add ERPCore-side rate limiting / auth requirement ahead of AuthHex. |
 | **AR-08** | **No rate limiting on `AuthController`'s anonymous endpoints** (login, register, refresh, recovery, OTP send/verify) — brute-force and account-enumeration exposure. | Not built in this pass (docs/11 §2.0, added 2026-07-16); AuthHex may rate-limit server-side but ERPCore does not add its own layer yet. | AuthHex's own lockout/backoff (per docs/10 NFR-03), immutable audit trail. | Add ASP.NET Core rate limiting middleware to `AuthController` before any non-local deployment. |
 | **AR-09** | **HRM inherits AR-01 for salary/PII data** — any door-admitted authenticated user can currently view/download any employee's salary figures, payslip, or uploaded documents (NIC scans, contracts). This is a **explicit, flagged decision, not a silent inheritance**: salary/PII is categorically more sensitive than Phase-1 inventory data, and this was called out to the business owner before HRM build started (see `12-BACKEND-HRM.md` A.1). | RBAC still deferred repo-wide; a coarse HR-role door-gate was not made a blocking prerequisite for HRM go-live. | Immutable audit trail (as AR-01); sidebar-visibility hiding of Employees/Attendance/Payroll sections for non-HR roles via the existing `NavItem`/`RolePermission` mechanism (UI-level only, not a server-enforced gate). | **HRM should be the forcing function that enables per-endpoint RBAC ahead of the rest of the system** (see Part D) — salary-data exposure is a materially worse blast radius than inventory data. |
