SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Convex security audits identify and mitigate authorization gaps, data access leaks, and unsafe operations across Convex apps, helping teams ship more secure features.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Authorization patterns: role checks, permission maps, and enforceable access controls.
  • Data boundaries: visibility controls to ensure users only access permitted data.
  • Action isolation & rate limiting: guard external calls and throttle sensitive endpoints.
  • Secure operation patterns: guidance for two-factor confirmations and audit trails around destructive actions.
  • Use Case: When designing a Convex-based admin panel, apply these patterns to prevent privilege escalation and data leakage.

Quick Start

Review your Convex app's authorization, data access, and sensitive actions to implement the recommended security patterns.

FAQPage Schema
How do I enforce authorization and data access boundaries in Convex applications?

Secure your Convex backend by implementing role-based access checks, permission maps, and strict data visibility controls. This prevents unauthorized data access and ensures users only interact with permitted records.

What are the best practices for rate limiting sensitive actions in Convex?

Rate limit sensitive Convex actions by isolating external calls and throttling endpoints. This protects destructive operations from abuse and prevents unauthorized users from overwhelming your backend infrastructure.

How do I prevent privilege escalation when building a Convex admin panel?

Prevent privilege escalation in a Convex admin panel by applying strict role checks and enforceable access controls. Auditing your data boundaries ensures that standard users cannot access administrative functions or restricted data.

Can I implement two-factor confirmations and audit trails for destructive operations in Convex?

Yes, you can secure destructive Convex operations by implementing two-factor confirmation patterns and audit trails. These secure operation patterns safeguard sensitive actions and maintain a verifiable record of destructive backend changes.

Does a Convex security audit cover both backend mutations and client-side data visibility?

A Convex security audit evaluates both backend and client code to identify data access leaks and unsafe operations. It ensures data visibility controls and authorization boundaries are consistently enforced across your entire application stack.
