+
+## Complete API Protection Status
+
+### 🔓 Public Endpoints (No Authentication Required)
+
+| Endpoint | Method | Purpose | Why Public? |
+|----------|--------|---------|-------------|
+| `/auth/nonce/:walletAddress` | GET | Get nonce for signing | Needed to start authentication flow |
+| `/auth/user/:walletAddress` | GET | Check if user exists / Get user profile | Allows profile viewing (consider protecting later) |
+| `/auth/verify-signature` | POST | Verify wallet signature | Part of registration flow |
+| `/auth/register` | POST | Register new user + create session | Creates new account |
+| `/auth/login` | POST | Login existing user + create session | Creates authenticated session |
+| `/stats/leaderboard` | GET | Get public leaderboard | Public game data |
+
+**Note:** `/auth/user/:walletAddress` is currently public to allow viewing other players' profiles. If you want privacy, protect this endpoint.
+
+---
+
+### 🔒 Protected Endpoints (Require JWT Authentication)
+
+| Endpoint | Method | Protection | Additional Security |
+|----------|--------|------------|---------------------|
+| **Session Management** |
+| `/auth/validate-session` | GET | 🔒 JWT Required | Returns current user's session |
+| `/auth/logout` | POST | 🔒 JWT Required | Clears current session |
+| `/auth/logout-all` | POST | 🔒 JWT Required | Clears all user's sessions |
+| **User Management** |
+| `/auth/user/:walletAddress` | PUT | 🔒 JWT Required | ✅ **Wallet ownership verified** |
+| `/auth/user/:walletAddress/onboarding-complete` | POST | 🔒 JWT Required | ✅ **Wallet ownership verified** |
+| **File Uploads** |
+| `/upload/avatar/presigned-url` | POST | 🔒 JWT Required | ✅ **Wallet ownership verified** |
+| **Stats (Recommended Protection)** |
+| `/stats/player/:walletAddress` | GET | ⚠️ Currently Public | Should verify wallet ownership |
+| `/stats/player/:walletAddress/history` | GET | ⚠️ Currently Public | Should verify wallet ownership |
+
+---
+
+## 🛡️ Security Features by Endpoint
+
+### Protected with Wallet Ownership Verification
+
+These endpoints not only require authentication but also verify you can only access your own data:
+
+#### `PUT /auth/user/:walletAddress`
+```javascript
+// User can only update their OWN profile
+if (req.user.walletAddress !== walletAddress) {
+  return 403 Forbidden
+}
+```
+
+#### `POST /auth/user/:walletAddress/onboarding-complete`
+```javascript
+// User can only complete their OWN onboarding
+if (req.user.walletAddress !== walletAddress) {
+  return 403 Forbidden
+}
+```
+
+#### `POST /upload/avatar/presigned-url`
+```javascript
+// User can only upload THEIR OWN avatar
+if (req.user.walletAddress !== walletAddress) {
+  return 403 Forbidden
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🔧 How Authentication Works
+
+### For Protected Endpoints
+
+1. **Request includes JWT cookie** (automatic via `withCredentials: true`)
+2. **Middleware validates token:**
+   - Checks cookie exists
+   - Verifies JWT signature
+   - Checks token not expired
+   - Verifies session exists in database
+3. **User info attached to request:**
+   ```javascript
+   req.user = {
+     walletAddress: "7D47yF...",
+     userId: 123
+   }
+   ```
+4. **Endpoint logic executes** with authenticated user context
+
+### Error Responses
+
+| Status | Code | Meaning |
+|--------|------|---------|
+| 401 | `NO_TOKEN` | No auth token provided |
+| 401 | `TOKEN_EXPIRED` | JWT token expired (> 7 days) |
+| 401 | `INVALID_TOKEN` | Token malformed or invalid |
+| 401 | `SESSION_INVALID` | Session not in database |
+| 403 | `WALLET_MISMATCH` | Trying to access another user's data |
+

+
+## 📊 Stats Endpoints - Recommended Changes
+
+Currently public but should be protected:
+
+### Current Implementation (INSECURE)
+```javascript
+// Anyone can see anyone's stats
+GET /stats/player/ANY_WALLET_ADDRESS → 200 OK
+GET /stats/player/ANY_WALLET_ADDRESS/history → 200 OK
+```
+
+### Recommended Implementation (SECURE)
+```javascript
+router.get('/player/:walletAddress', authenticate, async (req, res) => {
+  // Allow users to see their own stats
+  if (req.user.walletAddress === req.params.walletAddress) {
+    return res.json({ stats: userStats });
+  }
+  
+  // Optionally allow viewing others' public stats
+  // Remove this block if you want stats to be private
+  return res.json({ 
+    stats: {
+      // Return only public fields
+      gamesPlayed: userStats.gamesPlayed,
+      winRate: userStats.winRate,
+      // Hide sensitive data like wallet balance, etc.
+    }
+  });
+});
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🚨 Security Issues Fixed
+
+### ✅ Fixed: Unprotected User Update
+**Before:**
+```javascript
+PUT /auth/user/:walletAddress
+// No authentication required
+// Anyone could update anyone's profile!
+```
+
+**After:**
+```javascript
+PUT /auth/user/:walletAddress + JWT + Wallet Verification
+// ✅ Must be authenticated
+// ✅ Can only update own profile
+```
+
+### ✅ Fixed: Unprotected Avatar Upload
+**Before:**
+```javascript
+POST /upload/avatar/presigned-url
+// No authentication required
+// Anyone could upload avatars for anyone!
+```
+
+**After:**
+```javascript
+POST /upload/avatar/presigned-url + JWT + Wallet Verification
+// ✅ Must be authenticated
+// ✅ Can only upload own avatar
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 Frontend Integration
+
+### Automatic Authentication
+
+All protected endpoints work automatically because:
+
+1. **JWT cookie sent automatically:**
+   ```typescript
+   // api.ts already configured with:
+   axios.create({
+     withCredentials: true  // ✅ Sends cookies
+   })
+   ```
+
+2. **No manual token management needed!**
+   - No localStorage
+   - No Authorization headers
+   - Cookies handled by browser
+
+### Handling Auth Errors
+
+```typescript
+// In api.ts - already configured
+this.client.interceptors.response.use(
+  (response) => response,
+  (error) => {
+    if (error.response?.status === 401) {
+      // Session expired - trigger re-authentication
+      window.dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent('auth:session-expired'));
+    }
+    return Promise.reject(error);
+  }
+);
+```
+
+---
+
+## 📝 How to Protect More Endpoints
+
+### Step 1: Import Middleware
+```javascript
+const { authenticate } = require('../middleware/authenticate');
+```
+
+### Step 2: Add to Route
+```javascript
+// Before
+router.get('/my-endpoint', async (req, res) => {
+  // Anyone can access
+});
+
+// After
+router.get('/my-endpoint', authenticate, async (req, res) => {
+  // Only authenticated users
+  const { walletAddress, userId } = req.user;
+});
+```
+
+### Step 3: Add Ownership Check (if needed)
+```javascript
+router.put('/resource/:walletAddress', authenticate, async (req, res) => {
+  // Verify ownership
+  if (req.user.walletAddress !== req.params.walletAddress) {
+    return res.status(403).json({ error: 'Unauthorized' });
+  }
+  
+  // Process request
+});
+```
+

+
+## 🧪 Testing Protected Endpoints
+
+### With curl
+```bash
+# 1. Login and save cookies
+curl -X POST http://localhost:3001/auth/login \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"walletAddress":"...","signature":"...","nonce":"...","message":"..."}' \
+  -c cookies.txt
+
+# 2. Access protected endpoint
+curl http://localhost:3001/auth/validate-session \
+  -b cookies.txt
+
+# 3. Try without auth (should fail)
+curl http://localhost:3001/auth/validate-session
+# Returns: 401 Unauthorized
+```
+
+### With Frontend
+```typescript
+// All protected endpoints work automatically
+await apiService.updateUser(walletAddress, { username: 'newname' });
+await apiService.completeOnboarding(walletAddress);
+// JWT cookie sent automatically ✅
+```
