Private Streaming and Premium Monetization Platform
Budget: $750 – $1,500 USD
Laravel 10+ | PHP 8.1+
1. PROJECT OVERALL CONTEXT
The platform is an existing, live and production system, with real users, active financial transactions and an already operational infrastructure.
This project is not greenfield development, does not involve a full rewrite, and does not include a discovery phase.
The system has already undergone a technical audit, with issues identified, documented and classified.
The objective of this engagement is to correct, validate, consolidate and elevate both the technical and visual quality of the existing platform, based strictly on concrete code evidence.
2. WHAT HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE – COMPLETED TECHNICAL AUDIT
2.1 Scope of the Performed Audit
The technical audit has already been completed and included:
• Direct analysis of the existing source code
• Review of controllers, models, migrations and services
• Evaluation of financial and monetization logic
• Inspection of payment flows, escrow and split logic
• Concurrency and race condition analysis
• Review of permissions and lack of authorization policies
• Security verification, including SQL injection, mass assignment and credentials exposure
• Moderation and content upload flow analysis
• Verification of the absence of automated tests
• Evaluation of GitHub traceability and governance
The audit was conducted exclusively based on source code, not on videos, demonstrations or verbal claims.
2.2 Current State of the Project (As Found)
The project is currently in the following condition:
Functionality
• Core features exist
• Parts of the system operate in production
• Heavy reliance on implicit behavior
• Functional but fragile flows
Security
• Critical vulnerabilities identified
• Missing rate limiting on sensitive endpoints
• SQL injection risk in filters
• Improper handling of sensitive credentials
• Insufficient validation on file uploads
Financial Logic
• Risk of duplicate payment release
• Tokens mixed with real monetary values
• Lack of escrow timeout enforcement
• No formal balance validation
• Absence of reliable financial audit trails
Governance and Permissions
• Administrative actions without formal policies
• No blocking based on stream state
• Insufficient logging for audit purposes
• Risk of unauthorized or improper actions
Testing and Quality
• Lack of meaningful automated tests
• No concurrency tests
• No security tests
• No effective CI pipeline
Visual and User Experience
• Functional but inconsistent interface
• Lack of premium finishing
• Weak or incomplete visual identity
• No professional banners or visual assets
3. WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE
(Exact Object of the Engagement)
The contractor will not re-audit the system.
The contractor will not redefine business rules.
The contractor will not rewrite the platform.
The contractor will execute exactly what has already been identified, as detailed below.
3.1 Mandatory Technical Fixes
• Fix all identified vulnerabilities
• Implement rate limiting
• Protect against SQL injection and mass assignment
• Secure AWS and Stripe credentials
• Centralize critical services
3.2 Functional Logic Corrections
• Eliminate race conditions
• Guarantee single payment release
• Implement escrow with automatic timeout
• Ensure configurable and auditable split payment
• Separate tokens from monetary values
• Enforce non-negative balances
• Implement automatic no-show penalties
3.3 Full Flow Formalization
• Implement a formal state machine
• Block invalid state transitions
• Ensure consistency across controllers, jobs and commands
• Create tests for invalid transitions
3.4 Governance, Logging and Auditability
• Implement administrative authorization policies
• Create security and financial logs
• Ensure full GitHub traceability
• Protect the main branch
• Guarantee technical evidence of delivery
3.5 Testing and Validation
• Create unit tests
• Create integration tests
• Create concurrency tests
• Create security tests
• Create a CI pipeline with automatic execution
3.6 Design and Premium Finishing
• Visual refinement of the existing interface
• Standardization of typography, colors and spacing
• Creation or refinement of the official platform logo
• Delivery of logo files in editable formats
• Creation of institutional and promotional banners
• Visual consistency across the entire platform
A full redesign is not allowed. Only premium finishing is expected.
4. TRACEABILITY AND ANTI-FRAUD PROTECTION
(GitHub – Mandatory)
• All work must be delivered exclusively via GitHub
• Atomic and descriptive commits
• Mandatory pull requests
• Immutable commit history
• Mandatory code review
• Technical evidence prevails over videos or demonstrations
