3. Security Best Practices

3.1 Authentication & Session Management

  • Use secure authentication flows (OAuth2, JWT, or session cookies with HttpOnly and Secure flags).
  • Avoid storing sensitive tokens in localStorage; prefer HttpOnly cookies.
  • Implement automatic token expiration and refresh flows.

3.2 Input Validation & Sanitization

  • Validate and sanitize all user inputs on the frontend.
  • Prevent XSS by escaping content in templates and using Nuxt’s built-in sanitization.
  • Avoid unsafe usage of v-html unless sanitized.

3.3 Data Protection

  • Always use HTTPS / TLS 1.2+ for API calls.
  • Protect sensitive data in the browser; avoid storing secrets in the client.

3.4 Dependency Management

  • Keep npm / yarn packages up-to-date.
  • Monitor for vulnerabilities using npm audit or Snyk.

3.5 Logging & Monitoring

  • Do not log sensitive information (passwords, tokens) to the console.
  • Monitor frontend errors and suspicious patterns using tools like Sentry.

3.6 Content Security

  • Implement Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to mitigate XSS attacks.
  • Use strict CORS policies when calling APIs.

4. Security Releases

  • Security patches and updates will be documented in the release notes.
  • Users and contributors are encouraged to update to the latest version immediately after a release.
