Security Hardening

Input Validation

Validate all input at the boundary. Never trust client-side validation alone.

import { z } from 'zod';

const CreateUserSchema = z.object({
  email: z.string().email().max(255),
  name: z.string().min(1).max(100).regex(/^[a-zA-Z\s'-]+$/),
  age: z.number().int().min(13).max(150),
});

function createUser(req: Request) {
  const result = CreateUserSchema.safeParse(req.body);
  if (!result.success) {
    return { status: 400, errors: result.error.flatten().fieldErrors };
  }
  // result.data is typed and validated
}

Rules:

• Validate type, length, format, and range on every input
• Use allowlists over denylists (accept known good, reject everything else)
• Validate file uploads: check MIME type, file extension, and magic bytes
• Limit request body size at the server/proxy level (e.g., 1MB max)

Output Encoding

// Prevent XSS: encode output based on context
// HTML context: use framework auto-escaping (React does this by default)
// Never use dangerouslySetInnerHTML with user input

// URL context: encode parameters
const safeUrl = `/search?q=${encodeURIComponent(userInput)}`;

// JSON context: use JSON.stringify (handles escaping)
const safeJson = JSON.stringify({ query: userInput });

Never construct HTML strings with user input. Use templating engines with auto-escaping enabled.

SQL Injection Prevention

# NEVER do this
cursor.execute(f"SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = {user_id}")

# Always use parameterized queries
cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = %s", (user_id,))

// NEVER do this
db.query(`SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = '${email}'`);

// Always use parameterized queries
db.query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = $1", [email]);

Use an ORM or query builder. If writing raw SQL, always parameterize.

CSRF Protection

// Server: generate and validate CSRF tokens
import { randomBytes } from 'crypto';

function generateCsrfToken(): string {
  return randomBytes(32).toString('hex');
}

// Middleware: validate on state-changing requests
function csrfMiddleware(req, res, next) {
  if (['POST', 'PUT', 'PATCH', 'DELETE'].includes(req.method)) {
    const token = req.headers['x-csrf-token'] || req.body._csrf;
    if (!timingSafeEqual(token, req.session.csrfToken)) {
      return res.status(403).json({ error: 'Invalid CSRF token' });
    }
  }
  next();
}

For APIs with token-based auth (Bearer tokens), CSRF is not needed since the token is not auto-sent by browsers.

Content Security Policy

Content-Security-Policy:
  default-src 'self';
  script-src 'self' 'nonce-{random}';
  style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline';
  img-src 'self' data: https:;
  font-src 'self';
  connect-src 'self' https://api.example.com;
  frame-ancestors 'none';
  base-uri 'self';
  form-action 'self';

Start strict, relax as needed. Use nonce for inline scripts instead of unsafe-inline. Report violations with report-uri directive. Test with Content-Security-Policy-Report-Only first.

Security Headers

Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
X-Frame-Options: DENY
Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin
Permissions-Policy: camera=(), microphone=(), geolocation=()

Set these on every response. Use helmet (Node.js) or equivalent middleware.

Rate Limiting

// Per-user, per-endpoint rate limiting
const rateLimits = {
  'POST /auth/login':    { window: '15m', max: 5 },
  'POST /auth/register': { window: '1h',  max: 3 },
  'POST /api/*':         { window: '1m',  max: 60 },
  'GET /api/*':          { window: '1m',  max: 120 },
};

Use sliding window algorithm. Store counters in Redis. Return 429 with Retry-After header. Apply stricter limits to authentication endpoints.

JWT Best Practices

• Use short expiry (15 minutes) for access tokens
• Use refresh tokens (7-30 days) stored in httpOnly cookies
• Sign with RS256 (asymmetric) for microservices, HS256 (symmetric) for monoliths
• Never store sensitive data in JWT payload (it is base64 encoded, not encrypted)
• Validate iss, aud, exp, and nbf claims on every request
• Implement token revocation via a denylist or short expiry + rotation

// Verify JWT with all checks
const payload = jwt.verify(token, publicKey, {
  algorithms: ['RS256'],
  issuer: 'auth.example.com',
  audience: 'api.example.com',
  clockTolerance: 30,
});

Secrets Management

• Never commit secrets to version control (use .gitignore for .env)
• Use environment variables for runtime secrets
• Use a secrets manager in production (AWS Secrets Manager, HashiCorp Vault, Doppler)
• Rotate secrets regularly (90-day maximum for API keys)
• Use different secrets per environment (dev/staging/prod)
• Scan for leaked secrets in CI: trufflehog, gitleaks, git-secrets

# Check for secrets in git history
gitleaks detect --source . --verbose

# Pre-commit hook to prevent secret commits
gitleaks protect --staged

Dependency Auditing

# Node.js
npm audit --production
npx better-npm-audit audit --level=high

# Python
pip-audit
safety check

# Go
govulncheck ./...

Run dependency audits in CI on every PR. Block merges on critical/high vulnerabilities. Pin dependency versions. Update dependencies weekly with automated PRs (Dependabot, Renovate).
