+# Codebase Audit Report: PsyMP3
+
+**Date:** 2024-10-16
+**Repository:** PsyMP3
+**Commit SHA:** (Current HEAD)
+**Auditor:** Jules (AI Agent)
+
+## 1. Executive Summary
+
+A comprehensive audit was performed on the PsyMP3 codebase (C++17, Autotools). The application is a media player with strict threading requirements and modular codec architecture.
+
+**Overall Health Score:** 65/100
+
+**Top 5 Risks:**
+1.  **Critical Correctness Failure**: Undefined Behavior (UB) in FLAC `SampleReconstructor.cpp` due to invalid bitwise shifts, potentially causing crashes or audio corruption.
+2.  **Logic Errors**: "Dead" loops in `audio.cpp` where loop conditions are impossible to satisfy, indicating broken SIMD optimization logic.
+3.  **Security Hardening**: The build system (`configure.ac`) lacks standard binary security flags (Stack Protector, PIE, RELRO), making the binary vulnerable to exploitation if memory corruption occurs.
+4.  **Operational Risk**: Build environment is fragile; standard dependencies (SDL 1.2, TagLib) are required but not easily provisioned in modern CI/sandbox environments, and the build fails gracefully.
+5.  **Data Protection**: Last.fm credentials (password) are stored in heap memory (std::string) without scrubbing/locking, posing a risk in case of core dumps.

+
+## 2. Full Findings
+
+### [ID-001] Critical Undefined Behavior in FLAC Decoder
+*   **Severity:** Critical
+*   **Confidence:** High
+*   **File:** `src/codecs/flac/SampleReconstructor.cpp:116`
+*   **Description:** The code performs `1 << (shift_amount - 1)` where `shift_amount` can be derived from untrusted input. If `shift_amount` is 0 or >= 32, this invokes Undefined Behavior (UB). Static analysis confirms a path where shifting by 4294967295 bits is possible.
+*   **Impact:** Application crash, denial of service, or potentially arbitrary code execution depending on compiler optimization.
+*   **Remediation:** Validate `shift_amount` before operation.
+
+### [ID-002] Logical Dead Code / Broken Loops
+*   **Severity:** High
+*   **Confidence:** High
+*   **File:** `src/audio.cpp:506`, `src/audio.cpp:549`
+*   **Description:** Loops defined as `for (int x = simd_end; x < 512; x++)` are unreachable because `simd_end` is calculated to be 512. The fallback scalar processing for the last few samples is never executed.
+*   **Impact:** Audio glitches or missing samples at the end of buffer blocks.
+*   **Remediation:** Correct the `simd_end` calculation or loop logic.
+
+### [ID-003] Missing Compiler Security Flags
+*   **Severity:** High
+*   **Confidence:** High
+*   **File:** `configure.ac`
+*   **Description:** The build configuration does not enable `-fstack-protector-strong`, `-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2`, `-fPIE`, or `-Wl,-z,relro,-z,now`.
+*   **Impact:** Increased exploitability of potential buffer overflows.
+*   **Remediation:** Add `AX_CHECK_COMPILE_FLAG` macros to enable these flags in `configure.ac`.
+
+### [ID-004] Memory Safety in Audio Processing
+*   **Severity:** Medium
+*   **Confidence:** Medium
+*   **File:** `src/audio.cpp:394`
+*   **Description:** Unsafe C-style pointer cast `(int16_t *)buf` combined with potential buffer size mismatches.
+*   **Impact:** Potential heap buffer overflow.
+*   **Remediation:** Use `reinterpret_cast` or `std::span` (C++20) / bounds checking.
+
+### [ID-005] Insecure Credential Handling
+*   **Severity:** Medium
+*   **Confidence:** Medium
+*   **File:** `include/lastfm/LastFM.h`
+*   **Description:** `m_password` is stored as a `std::string`.
+*   **Impact:** Passwords remain in memory and may be swapped to disk or included in crash dumps.
+*   **Remediation:** Use `mlock` or a secure string class that zeros memory on destruction; store only the hash if possible (code suggests hash is also stored).
+
+---
+
+## 3. Metrics
+
+*   **Languages:** C++17 (Primary), Shell (Build)
+*   **LOC:** ~76,500 (C++ Headers + Source)
+*   **Test Coverage:** 0% (Runtime execution failed due to environment)
+*   **Cyclomatic Complexity Hotspots:**
+    *   `MemoryPoolManager::getOptimalBufferSize`
+    *   `BufferPool` logic
+*   **Secrets Found:** 0 hardcoded keys (clean).
+
+## 4. Operational Readiness
+*   **Build System:** Autotools (Fragile). Requires `autoconf-archive` which is often missing.
+*   **Dependencies:** Legacy SDL 1.2 is a major deprecation risk.
+*   **Testing:** Unit tests exist (`tests/`) but require the full build environment.
