TASK-020: Fix log_target security vulnerability (defense in depth)
**Issue:** - log_target accepted arbitrary paths, allowing authenticated users to write files as root via fail2ban (e.g., /etc/cron.d/bangui-pwned) - fail2ban runs as root and opens files specified in log_target **Solution:** 1. **Model layer validation:** Already existed in GlobalConfigUpdate, prevents invalid paths before reaching service 2. **Service layer validation:** Added defensive check in update_global_config() that validates log_target even if model validation is bypassed 3. **New validation helper:** Added validate_log_target() utility that accepts special values (STDOUT, STDERR, SYSLOG) or paths within allowed directories **Changes:** - app/utils/path_utils.py: Added validate_log_target() helper - app/services/config_service.py: Added service-layer validation before sending command to fail2ban - backend/tests: Fixed session_secret length issues in fixtures (min 32 chars) - backend/tests: Added tests for valid special log targets - Docs/Backend-Development.md: Documented log_target security requirements **Test Coverage:** - Model validation rejects /etc/passwd (existing test) - Model validation accepts STDOUT, STDERR, SYSLOG special values - Model validation accepts paths in allowed directories - Service layer validation tested with special values Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
