    How to Secure Base44

    Step-by-step guide to securing your Base44 application and protecting against common vulnerabilities.

    Base44 Security Context

    Base44 generates code quickly but AI-generated code often lacks security hardening. Key areas to review include input validation, authentication, and file upload handling.

    Security Checklist

    1

    Implement server-side validation

    Critical

    Never rely on client-side validation alone. Validate all inputs on the server.

    2

    Add authentication to all routes

    Critical

    Ensure every API endpoint requires proper authentication.

    3

    Sanitize user input

    Critical

    Clean all user-provided data before use in queries or rendering.

    4

    Validate file uploads

    Critical

    Check file types, sizes, and scan for malicious content.

    5

    Strengthen password policies

    Enforce strong passwords and implement rate limiting on auth endpoints.

    6

    Disable debug mode

    Remove stack traces and debug info from production error responses.

    7

    Configure CORS properly

    Restrict cross-origin requests to trusted domains only.

    8

    Implement rate limiting

    Protect APIs from abuse with request rate limits.

    9

    Use HTTPS everywhere

    Ensure all traffic is encrypted in transit.

    10

    Secure session management

    Use secure, httpOnly cookies with proper expiration.

    11

    Review OAuth configuration

    Audit third-party auth integrations for proper scopes and callbacks.

    12

    Enable logging

    Log security events for monitoring and incident response.

    13

    Run security scan

    Use VibeEval to scan your deployed Base44 application.
