medusa-security

medusa-security is a skill for Claude Code from OrcaQubits/agentic-commerce-skills-plugins. It costs 46 tokens per session (1,568 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A security guide for Medusa v2 applications, covering who can sign in, how admin and customer access differ, and how API keys, tokens, cookies, and cross-origin requests are configured.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure authentication, publishable and secret API keys, admin and storefront sessions, JWTs, cookies, and CORS settings.
Why use it?
It helps prevent accidental exposure of private APIs and keeps administrator access separate from customer access.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

medusa-security scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

  2. Web-search site:docs.medusajs.com api key publishable secret for API key types
  3. Web-search site:docs.medusajs.com CORS configuration for cross-origin resource sharing
  4. Fetch https://docs.medusajs.com/learn/fundamentals/api-routes/middlewares for middleware and auth config
  5. Web-search site:docs.medusajs.com medusa-config auth providers for auth provider registration

Authentication Architecture

Admin vs Store Authentication

Medusa v2 separates admin and storefront authentication into distinct flows:

Aspect Admin Auth Store Auth
Actor type user customer
API scope /admin/* routes /store/* routes
Default provider emailpass emailpass
Session cookie Admin session cookie Store session cookie
API key support Secret API key (Bearer) Publishable API key (header)
JWT usage Admin JWT token Customer JWT token
Middleware authenticate("user", ...) authenticate("customer", ...)

Auth Provider System

Auth Module
├── emailpass    — email + password (default)
├── google       — OAuth 2.0 via Google
├── github       — OAuth 2.0 via GitHub
└── custom       — implement AbstractAuthModuleProvider

Auth providers are registered in medusa-config.ts under the auth module configuration. Each provider handles a specific identity verification strategy.

API Key Types

Key Type Header Purpose Visibility
Publishable x-publishable-api-key Storefront API access, scopes to sales channels Safe for client-side
Secret Authorization: Bearer <key> Admin API access, full permissions Server-side only
  • Publishable keys are created in the admin dashboard and tied to sales channels
  • Secret keys grant admin-level access and must never be exposed to browsers
  • Store API routes require a publishable key header for sales channel scoping

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
