Auditing your Convex backend for missing authentication involves scanning for queries and mutations that lack proper auth verification. This process identifies unprotected functions to ensure sensitive data remains inaccessible to unauthenticated users.

Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) in Convex occurs when users access database records without proper authorization checks. You can detect IDOR vulnerabilities by scanning your codebase for improper access controls on internal and public functions.

Validating inputs in Convex mutations requires defining strict argument validators for all functions. An automated security scan can flag mutations lacking proper argument validation to prevent security breaches and data corruption.

Yes, the security audit works with existing Convex projects by scanning the current codebase. It reviews internal versus public functions to identify potential vulnerabilities without requiring application downtime.

The best way to secure Convex public functions is to implement strict authentication and authorization checks before data access. Scanning for the misuse of internal versus public functions helps identify exposed endpoints requiring hardening.

Your Convex query likely exposes sensitive data because it is missing authentication checks or has improper access controls. An automated security scan identifies these exact vulnerabilities by reviewing function visibility and authorization logic.
