To audit a Convex app for security vulnerabilities, use a structured checklist to review authentication, function exposure, argument validation, row-level access control, and environment variable handling to identify misconfigurations.

Row-level access control in Convex ensures private data is restricted to authorized users. You enforce it by implementing explicit owner checks within your queries and mutations to prevent unauthorized data access and leakage.

Prevent unauthorized access to internal Convex functions by carefully distinguishing between internal and public functions. Keep sensitive logic internal and expose only necessary queries, mutations, and actions to the client.

Yes, you can use this Convex security checklist for pre-release audits and code reviews. It provides practical scenarios and test cases to verify explicit validators and secure environment variable usage before deployment.

Your Convex mutation accepts invalid arguments if it lacks explicit validators. Define strict argument validation rules on your queries and mutations to reject malformed inputs and enforce secure application patterns.
