 # Changelog for Simple WP Site Exporter
 
 ## 1.6.7 - June 9, 2025
-### PHPMD, PHPStan, and Security Compliance
+### PHPMD, PHPStan, Security, and WordPress Standards Compliance
 - **Variable Naming**: Fixed all CamelCase variable naming violations for PHPMD compliance
 - **Function Complexity**: Broke down complex functions to reduce cyclomatic complexity below threshold:
   - Split `sse_add_wordpress_files_to_zip()` into smaller focused functions
   - Refactored `sse_validate_basic_export_file()` into modular validation functions
   - Decomposed `sse_get_safe_wp_cli_path()` into specialized validation functions
+  - **NEW**: Refactored `sse_validate_filepath()` into 4 focused functions:
+    - `sse_check_path_traversal()` - Directory traversal validation
+    - `sse_resolve_file_path()` - Secure path resolution
+    - `sse_check_path_within_base()` - Base directory validation
+    - Reduced complexity from 11 to under 10, NPath from 224 to under 200
+  - **NEW**: Refactored `sse_serve_file_download()` into 5 specialized functions:
+    - `sse_validate_download_file_data()` - Input validation and sanitization
+    - `sse_validate_download_file_access()` - File access and security validation
+    - `sse_set_download_headers()` - HTTP header management
+    - `sse_output_file_content()` - File content output handling
+    - Reduced complexity from 12 to under 10, NPath from 288 to under 200
 - **Code Structure**: Eliminated unnecessary else expressions throughout codebase
 - **WordPress-Specific PHPMD Configuration**: Created `phpmd-wordpress.xml` with WordPress-optimized rules:
   - Suppresses `Superglobals` warnings (WordPress standard practice)

   - Added proper path construction using `trailingslashit()` instead of hardcoded separators
   - Enhanced file download security with proper output handling
 - **Output Escaping**: Added proper phpcs:ignore comments for binary file downloads
+- **Text Domain Consistency**: Fixed all remaining text domain inconsistencies:
+  - Changed remaining 'simple-wp-site-exporter' instances to 'Simple-WP-Site-Exporter'
+  - Updated all translation function calls for consistency
+  - Fixed output escaping in `wp_die()` calls using `esc_html__()` instead of `__()`
+  - Added proper escaping for WP_Error messages in `wp_die()` calls
 - **PHPStan Compliance**: Fixed all static analysis errors:
   - Corrected type inference issues with `ini_get()` return values
   - Fixed PHPDoc parameter name mismatches
   - Resolved unreachable code in ternary operators
   - Standardized function return types (WP_Error|true patterns)
+  - Fixed syntax error in try-catch block (extra closing brace)
+- **PHPStan Configuration**: Updated `phpstan.neon` with `treatPhpDocTypesAsCertain: false` to resolve type inference warnings
+- **Type Safety Improvements**: 
+  - Fixed PHPDoc type annotations for functions that can return `false` (e.g., `sse_resolve_file_path`, `sse_check_path_within_base`)
+  - Removed redundant type checks where PHPStan could infer types from context
+  - Enhanced rate limiting logic with explicit type validation for transient values
 - **Security Enhancements**: 
   - **Enhanced path validation**: Added directory traversal protection with multiple security layers
   - **File download security**: Comprehensive input validation and sanitization for download operations

 - **GitHub Workflow Integration**: Updated CI workflow to use WordPress-specific PHPMD configuration
 - **Performance**: Reduced NPath complexity and improved code maintainability
 
-### Security Fixes
-- **CRITICAL**: Enhanced file download function with comprehensive path validation and XSS protection
-- **MEDIUM**: Strengthened file path validation against server-side request forgery attempts
-- **Input Validation**: All user inputs properly sanitized and validated against security threats
-- **Path Traversal Protection**: Multi-layer directory traversal prevention with realpath() validation
-- **File Access Control**: Strict validation that files are within allowed directories
+### Security Hardening and SSRF Prevention
+- **File Access Security**: Enhanced file validation to prevent Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) attacks:
+  - Added explicit file extension allowlist (ZIP and SQL files only)
+  - Implemented strict path validation within WordPress content directory
+  - Added realpath validation to prevent symlink attacks
+  - Enhanced parent directory validation with WordPress root checks
+- **Download Security**: Strengthened file download mechanisms:
+  - Multiple validation layers before file access
+  - Explicit checks for file type, path, and directory containment
+  - Added security logging for all file access attempts
+  - Enhanced header security (X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options)
+- **XSS Prevention**: Improved output security for file downloads:
+  - Dynamic Content-Type headers based on validated file extensions
+  - Additional security headers to prevent MIME sniffing and framing
+  - Enhanced logging with user and IP tracking for security events
+- **Static Analysis Compliance**: Addressed Codacy security warnings:
+  - Made security validations more explicit for automated scanning tools
+  - Added comprehensive input validation and sanitization
+  - Implemented allowlist approach instead of blacklist for file operations
