🔐 Security Best Practices

For Contributors

✅ DO

# Use environment variables for secrets
export JWT_SECRET="your-secret-here"

# Use parameterized queries
await _context.Users.FirstOrDefaultAsync(u => u.Id == userId);

# Validate all inputs
if (!ModelState.IsValid) return BadRequest(ModelState);

# Use HTTPS everywhere
services.AddHttpsRedirection(options => options.HttpsPort = 443);

❌ DON'T

# Never commit secrets
❌ "ConnectionString": "Server=prod;Password=secret123"

# Never use string concatenation for queries
❌ $"SELECT * FROM Users WHERE Id = '{userId}'"

# Never trust user input
❌ return File(userInput, "application/octet-stream");

# Never disable security features
❌ [AllowAnonymous] on sensitive endpoints

Secure Coding Checklist

  • 🔐 Authentication required for sensitive endpoints
  • 🎭 Authorization checks in place
  • ✅ Input validation on all user inputs
  • 🛡️ Output encoding for displayed data
  • 📝 Security events logged
  • 🔑 Secrets stored securely (not in code)
  • 🔒 HTTPS enforced
  • 🚦 Rate limiting configured
