security-and-hardening

Harden authentication flows by implementing secure session cookies, proper authentication checks, and stricter rate limits for auth endpoints. This prevents brute-force attacks and session hijacking by ensuring cookies have secure flags and auth routes are protected.

Validate API route inputs by applying schema-based, type-safe validators at all external boundaries. This boundary validation and sanitization process blocks malformed data early, preventing injection and ensuring only properly structured input reaches core logic.

Secure database queries by enforcing parameterized queries across all data storage interactions. This ensures user-supplied data is treated strictly as data values rather than executable SQL commands, neutralizing injection attacks during development and review.

Manage secrets by excluding them from version control and API responses, and run dependency audits to identify vulnerable packages. This configuration and dependency hygiene prevents accidental secret leaks and ensures third-party libraries are safe before release.

Enforce strict security headers and restrict CORS policies to trusted origins only. This limits cross-origin access to your API endpoints and mitigates common client-side attacks by ensuring browsers apply strict security policies to responses.

Yes, you can secure file uploads and third-party integrations by validating external input and applying configuration hardening. This ensures uploaded files are sanitized and webhook payloads or integration data are strictly validated at the boundary.
