Security Checklist

安全检查清单

Security Basics:
- [ ] Authentication required for protected routes
- [ ] Passwords hashed (bcrypt/argon2), never stored plain text
- [ ] API keys in environment variables, not code
- [ ] HTTPS only in production
- [ ] Input validated on server side
- [ ] SQL injection prevented (use parameterized queries)
- [ ] XSS prevented (sanitize user input)
- [ ] CSRF tokens on forms
- [ ] Rate limiting on API endpoints
- [ ] User sessions expire (30min-1hr typical)
See COMMON-VULNS.md for detailed checks.
Security Basics:
- [ ] 受保护路由需身份验证
- [ ] 密码已哈希处理（bcrypt/argon2），绝不明文存储
- [ ] API密钥存储在环境变量中，而非代码里
- [ ] 生产环境仅使用HTTPS
- [ ] 服务器端验证输入
- [ ] 防止SQL注入（使用参数化查询）
- [ ] 防止XSS攻击（清理用户输入）
- [ ] 表单添加CSRF令牌
- [ ] API端点设置速率限制
- [ ] 用户会话自动过期（通常30分钟-1小时）
查看COMMON-VULNS.md获取详细检查项。

Critical: Never Store These in Code

关键注意事项：绝不要在代码中存储这些内容

Move to environment variables:
  • Database passwords
  • API keys (Stripe, SendGrid, etc)
  • JWT secrets
  • OAuth client secrets
  • Encryption keys
Tell AI:
Store API keys in .env file, not in code.
Add .env to .gitignore.
Access via process.env.API_KEY
转移到环境变量中：
  • 数据库密码
  • API密钥（Stripe、SendGrid等）
  • JWT密钥
  • OAuth客户端密钥
  • 加密密钥
告知AI：
Store API keys in .env file, not in code.
Add .env to .gitignore.
Access via process.env.API_KEY

Authentication Basics

身份验证基础

Minimum requirements:
  • Passwords: 8+ chars, require number/symbol
  • Hash passwords (bcrypt with 10+ rounds)
  • Email verification for signups
  • Password reset via email only
  • Sessions expire (30-60 min idle)
  • Logout clears session completely
Tell AI:
Add authentication:
- bcrypt for password hashing (12 rounds)
- Email verification required
- Session timeout: 30 minutes
- Password requirements: 8+ chars, 1 number, 1 symbol
See SECURITY-PROMPTS.md for implementation details.
最低要求：
  • 密码：8位以上，需包含数字/符号
  • 密码哈希处理（bcrypt使用10+轮次）
  • 注册需邮箱验证
  • 仅通过邮箱重置密码
  • 会话超时（闲置30-60分钟）
  • 登出完全清除会话
告知AI：
Add authentication:
- bcrypt for password hashing (12 rounds)
- Email verification required
- Session timeout: 30 minutes
- Password requirements: 8+ chars, 1 number, 1 symbol
查看SECURITY-PROMPTS.md获取实现细节。

Data Protection

数据保护

Always encrypt:
  • Passwords (hashed, not encrypted)
  • Payment info (use Stripe, don't store cards)
  • Personal identifiable information (PII)
Never log:
  • Passwords (even hashed)
  • Credit card numbers
  • API keys
  • Session tokens
Tell AI:
Never log sensitive data.
Replace passwords/tokens with "[REDACTED]" in logs.
始终加密：
  • 密码（哈希处理，而非加密）
  • 支付信息（使用Stripe，勿存储卡片信息）
  • 个人可识别信息（PII）
绝不记录：
  • 密码（即使是哈希后的）
  • 信用卡号
  • API密钥
  • 会话令牌
告知AI：
Never log sensitive data.
Replace passwords/tokens with "[REDACTED]" in logs.

API Security

API安全

Required for all API endpoints:
  • Authentication check
  • Rate limiting (prevent abuse)
  • Input validation
  • Error messages don't leak info
Tell AI:
Add to all API routes:
- Require valid auth token
- Rate limit: 100 requests/minute per IP
- Validate all inputs (reject invalid)
- Generic error messages (no stack traces to users)
所有API端点的要求：
  • 身份验证检查
  • 速率限制（防止滥用）
  • 输入验证
  • 错误信息不泄露敏感内容
告知AI：
Add to all API routes:
- Require valid auth token
- Rate limit: 100 requests/minute per IP
- Validate all inputs (reject invalid)
- Generic error messages (no stack traces to users)

Common Vulnerabilities

常见漏洞

Most common in AI-built apps:
  1. Exposed API keys - In code instead of .env
  2. No rate limiting - APIs can be spammed
  3. Missing auth checks - Routes accessible without login
  4. SQL injection - Raw SQL with user input
  5. XSS attacks - Unescaped user content displayed
See COMMON-VULNS.md for how to check.
AI构建应用中最常见的漏洞：
  1. API密钥暴露 - 存储在代码中而非.env
  2. 无速率限制 - API可能被垃圾请求攻击
  3. 缺失身份验证检查 - 无需登录即可访问路由
  4. SQL注入 - 使用用户输入拼接原始SQL
  5. XSS攻击 - 未转义的用户内容被展示
查看COMMON-VULNS.md了解检查方法。

Security Prompts for AI

用于AI的安全提示词

Adding authentication:
Add authentication to this route.
Require valid JWT token.
Return 401 if missing/invalid.
Don't expose error details.
Rate limiting:
Add rate limiting:
- 100 requests/minute per IP
- Return 429 "Too many requests" if exceeded

- [ ] 管理员路由受保护
- [ ] 文件上传已验证（类型、大小）
- [ ] CORS已配置（非通配符"*"）

When to Get Security Audit

何时需要安全审计

Signs you need expert review:
  • Handling payments directly (not Stripe)
  • Storing health/financial data
  • Multi-tenant with data isolation
  • Over 1,000 users
  • Processing sensitive PII
For most MVPs: Following this checklist is sufficient.
需要专家审查的迹象：
  • 直接处理支付（而非使用Stripe）
  • 存储健康/财务数据
  • 多租户架构且需数据隔离
  • 用户量超过1000
  • 处理敏感个人可识别信息
**对于大多数MVP：**遵循本检查清单已足够。

Testing Security

安全测试

Quick checks:
Exposed secrets:
bash
grep -r "api_key" src/
grep -r "password" src/
快速检查：
密钥暴露检查：
bash
grep -r "api_key" src/
grep -r "password" src/

Should only find references to env vars

应仅找到环境变量的引用


**No auth bypass:**
- Try accessing protected routes without login
- Should redirect to login or return 401

**Rate limiting works:**
- Hit API endpoint 100 times quickly
- Should get 429 error

---

**身份验证绕过检查：**
- 尝试无需登录访问受保护路由
- 应重定向到登录页或返回401

**速率限制有效性检查：**
- 快速调用API端点100次
- 应收到429错误
