Review Categories

1. Security Review

Input Validation

// CRITICAL: Check all inputs are validated

// ❌ DANGEROUS - No validation
app.post('/users', async (c) => {
  const body = await c.req.json() // Unvalidated!
  await db.prepare('INSERT INTO users (name) VALUES (?)').bind(body.name).run()
})

// ✅ SECURE - Zod validation
app.post('/users',
  zValidator('json', createUserSchema),
  async (c) => {
    const body = c.req.valid('json') // Validated!
    await db.prepare('INSERT INTO users (name) VALUES (?)').bind(body.name).run()
  }
)

SQL Injection

// ❌ VULNERABLE - String interpolation
const user = await db.prepare(`SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = '${id}'`).first()

// ✅ SECURE - Parameterized query
const user = await db.prepare('SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?').bind(id).first()

Authentication Checks

// Check: Is auth middleware applied to protected routes?
// Check: Are JWT secrets properly configured?
// Check: Is token expiration validated?

// ❌ MISSING AUTH
app.get('/admin/users', async (c) => { ... })

// ✅ AUTH APPLIED
app.use('/admin/*', authMiddleware)
app.get('/admin/users', async (c) => { ... })

Sensitive Data Exposure

// ❌ EXPOSING SENSITIVE DATA
app.get('/users/:id', async (c) => {
  const user = await getUser(id)
  return c.json(user) // Returns password hash!
})

// ✅ FILTERED RESPONSE
app.get('/users/:id', async (c) => {
  const user = await getUser(id)
  const { password, ...safeUser } = user
  return c.json(safeUser)
})

CORS Configuration

// ❌ OVERLY PERMISSIVE
app.use('*', cors()) // Allows all origins!

// ✅ RESTRICTED
app.use('*', cors({
  origin: ['https://myapp.com', 'https://admin.myapp.com'],
  allowMethods: ['GET', 'POST', 'PUT', 'DELETE'],
  allowHeaders: ['Content-Type', 'Authorization'],
  credentials: true,
}))
