Add Sinople full integration: real vulnerability found
Fifth integration report - Sinople complete integration SUCCESS: CRITICAL FINDING: addslashes() was used for Turtle escaping - addslashes() is SQL escaping, NOT Turtle escaping - Real RDF injection vulnerability existed - Fixed with TurtleEscaper::literal() and TurtleEscaper::iri() Security fixes applied: - CRITICAL: Turtle escaping (2 issues) - HIGH: URL validation, Micropub sanitization - MEDIUM: Security headers (CSP, HSTS), rate limiting - LOW: strict_types on all files New upstream issues identified: - php-aegis: WordPress validators, TurtleEscaper lang tags, Headers WP integration - sanctify-php: Hook detection, Turtle context, REST API patterns This proves: When focused on unique value (Turtle escaping), php-aegis finds and fixes REAL vulnerabilities WordPress cannot address.

### Major Win: Sinople Full Integration (Real Vulnerability Found)
40+
41+
The complete Sinople integration found a **real security vulnerability**:
42+
43+
```
44+
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
45+
│ CRITICAL: addslashes() used for Turtle escaping │
46+
│ │
47+
│ Original code: addslashes($value) for RDF Turtle output │
48+
│ Problem: addslashes() is SQL escaping, NOT Turtle escaping │
49+
│ Risk: RDF injection attacks possible │
50+
│ │
51+
│ Fix: TurtleEscaper::literal() + TurtleEscaper::iri() │
52+
│ Result: W3C-compliant Turtle escaping │
53+
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

**Security Fixes Applied**:
57+
58+
| Severity | Issue | Fix |
59+
|----------|-------|-----|
60+
| CRITICAL | addslashes() for Turtle | TurtleEscaper::literal() |
61+
| CRITICAL | IRI without validation | Validator::url() + error handling |
62+
| HIGH | URL validation via strpos() | parse_url() host comparison |
63+
| HIGH | Unsanitized Micropub input | sanitize_text_field() + wp_kses_post() |
64+
| MEDIUM | No security headers | CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options |
65+
| MEDIUM | No rate limiting | 1-min rate limit for Webmentions |
66+
| LOW | Missing strict_types | Added to all PHP files |
67+
68+
**This proves**: When focused on unique value (Turtle escaping), php-aegis finds and fixes real vulnerabilities that WordPress cannot address.

## Issues from Sinople Full Integration
233+
234+
### php-aegis Issues (from Sinople)
235+
236+
#### Issue 5: WordPress-Specific Validators Needed
237+
238+
**Severity**: Medium
239+
**Found in**: Sinople full integration
240+
241+
**Description**:
242+
WordPress has security patterns (nonces, capabilities) that php-aegis doesn't address.
243+
244+
**Needed validators**:
245+
```php
246+
Aegis\WordPress\Nonce::verify($action, $nonce);
247+
Aegis\WordPress\Capability::check($cap, $user_id);
248+
```
249+
250+

251+
252+
#### Issue 6: TurtleEscaper Language Tag Case Sensitivity
253+
254+
**Severity**: Low
255+
**Found in**: Sinople full integration
256+
257+
**Description**:
258+
Language tags in Turtle should be case-insensitive per BCP 47, but TurtleEscaper may not handle this correctly.
259+
260+
---
261+
262+
#### Issue 7: Headers Class WordPress Integration
263+
264+
**Severity**: Low
265+
**Found in**: Sinople full integration
266+
267+
**Description**:
268+
`Headers::secure()` doesn't integrate with WordPress's `send_headers` action.
269+
270+
**Recommended**:
271+
```php
272+
add_action('send_headers', [Headers::class, 'secure']);
273+
```

### sanctify-php Issues (from Sinople)
278+
279+
#### Issue 5: WordPress Hook Detection
280+
281+
**Severity**: Medium
282+
**Found in**: Sinople full integration
283+
284+
**Description**:
285+
sanctify-php should detect WordPress hooks (`add_action`, `add_filter`) and reduce false positives when code is wrapped in hook callbacks.
286+
287+
---
288+
289+
#### Issue 6: RDF Turtle as Distinct Output Context
290+
291+
**Severity**: High
292+
**Found in**: Sinople full integration
293+
294+
**Description**:
295+
Turtle output is a distinct context from HTML. sanctify-php should:
296+
- Detect `Content-Type: text/turtle`
297+
- Warn when `esc_html()` is used in Turtle context
298+
- Suggest `TurtleEscaper` instead
299+

301+
302+
#### Issue 7: WordPress REST API Pattern Recognition
303+
304+
**Severity**: Medium
305+
**Found in**: Sinople full integration
306+
307+
**Description**:
308+
WordPress REST API endpoints have specific sanitization patterns that sanctify-php should recognize.
