SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides comprehensive patterns and best practices to identify and mitigate security vulnerabilities within Convex applications, ensuring robust protection of user data and operations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Authorization Logic: Implement and audit role-based access control (RBAC) and permission checks.
  • Data Access Boundaries: Define and enforce clear rules for what data users can see and modify.
  • Action Isolation: Protect sensitive operations and external API calls from misuse.
  • Rate Limiting: Prevent abuse and ensure service stability by controlling request frequency.
  • Sensitive Operations Protection: Secure critical actions with multi-factor confirmation and audit trails.
  • Use Case: A developer can use this Skill to review their Convex application's mutation handlers, ensuring that only authenticated administrators can delete user accounts and that such actions are logged for auditing.

Quick Start

Review the authorization logic in the provided Convex code using the security audit patterns.

Frequently Asked Questions about convex-security-audit

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit authorization and data access boundaries in a Convex app?▼

To audit authorization in a Convex app, review your mutation handlers using role-based access control patterns to ensure only authenticated users can access or modify specific data boundaries. This Skill provides code examples to enforce these checks.

What is action isolation in serverless security and when do I need it?▼

Action isolation in serverless security protects sensitive operations and external API calls from misuse. You need it when securing critical actions in Convex applications to prevent unauthorized execution and external API abuse.

How do I implement rate limiting to prevent abuse in Convex applications?▼

Implement rate limiting in Convex applications by applying the provided patterns to control request frequency, prevent abuse, and ensure service stability. This Skill offers code examples for robust serverless rate limiting.

Can I use this Skill to add audit trails for sensitive operations like account deletion?▼

Yes, you can use this Skill to secure sensitive operations like account deletion with multi-factor confirmation and audit trails. It provides patterns to verify authenticated administrators and log critical actions.

What are common security pitfalls when building data access rules in serverless environments?▼

Common serverless security pitfalls include failing to enforce data access boundaries and neglecting action isolation. This Skill identifies these vulnerabilities and offers best practices to protect user data in Convex environments.
