Ship fast. Don't get hacked.

Authentication

• Implement authentication for all API endpoints, not just UI routes.
• Regularly review and audit generated code for security vulnerabilities.
• Utilize security testing tools to identify unauthenticated endpoints.
• Implement strict validation for incoming headers in middleware.
• Regularly review and test middleware for potential auth bypass vulnerabilities.
• Ensure comprehensive unit and integration tests covering various header manipulations.
• Explicitly configure the session strategy in the credentials provider.
• Regularly audit authentication settings for correct configurations.
• Ensure that testing includes verification of session token handling.
• Implement rigorous code review practices focusing on security

Secrets Management

• Implement secrets management tools to store and access sensitive data securely.
• Educate developers on reviewing LLM-generated code for secrets exposure.
• Integrate security-focused code reviews in the development process.
• Implement a secrets management solution to store sensitive information securely.
• Use dynamic configuration to retrieve secrets at runtime instead of hardcoding them.
• Regularly scan codebases for hardcoded secrets using automated tools.
• Ensure Firebase configurations are not hardcoded into public repositories or templates.
• Implement strict access rules and permissions on Firebase databases.
• Regularly audit and check configurations generated from templates for security best practices.
• Implement a secrets management tool to securely store and retrieve secrets.

Supply Chain

• Require user confirmation before running scripts from new repositories.

• Establish a predefined list of trusted repositories and restrict execution to those sources.

Authorization

• Implement strict server-side authorization checks for API endpoints.
• Use unique identifiers that are not easily guessable for project IDs.
• Conduct regular security audits to identify and fix potential IDOR vulnerabilities.

Ai Agent Security

• Implement strict input validation on prompts before processing.
• Use contextual awareness to limit command execution capability based on user roles.
• Regularly audit and test for potential injection vectors in AI interactions.
