security

To prevent injection and XSS attacks in backend API routes, enforce server-side Zod validation and apply strict security headers. This secures endpoints by rejecting malformed user input before it reaches database queries or application logic.

The best way to secure file uploads is by performing content-based MIME checks and EXIF stripping with re-encoding. This neutralizes hidden payloads and zip bombs by validating actual file content rather than trusting client-provided extension metadata.

Argon2id password hashing protects authentication flows by using a memory-hard key derivation function to secure credentials. This hardening primitive ensures that compromised login or registration databases remain resistant to brute-force cracking.

Yes, you can run automated penetration testing against your endpoints before shipping. The workflow integrates an automated security-tester that validates implemented API routes, file upload handlers, and session management against common exploit vectors.

Yes, this approach protects against SSRF and CSRF vulnerabilities by enforcing specific SSRF and CORS protections alongside rate limiting. These controls prevent external data fetching exploits and cross-site request abuse across all server-side validation paths.

You need to pin JWT algorithms and set short expiry times when managing sessions or tokens for API endpoints. This strict token management prevents algorithm confusion attacks and limits the window of opportunity if a session token is compromised.
