security: implement comprehensive security fixes for OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities
**Critical Security Fixes:** - Fix AJAX endpoints to require POST requests with proper nonce verification - Implement XSS protection with wp_kses_post() and comprehensive data sanitization - Add role-based access control with granular capability checks - Secure debug logging with environment and user permission validation - Add file inclusion security with path validation and directory traversal protection **Specific Changes:** - HVAC_Event_Form_Builder: Enhanced AJAX handlers with POST-only validation - Template data sanitization to prevent stored XSS attacks - Debug logging restricted to authorized users and development environments - File inclusion protected against directory traversal and PHP injection - Improved capability checks for template management operations **Security Standards:** - All user input properly sanitized using WordPress security functions - Output escaped with appropriate WordPress functions (esc_html, wp_kses_post) - Nonce verification implemented consistently across all AJAX endpoints - File paths validated to prevent local file inclusion vulnerabilities - Debug information exposure limited to development environments only All changes tested and validated for syntax correctness. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
