Node Security Checklist

A comprehensive security checklist for protecting Node.js applications against common vulnerabilities and attacks.

Usage

Ask about Node.js security, input validation, dependency auditing, or vulnerability prevention.

Examples

• "Audit my dependencies for known vulnerabilities"
• "How do I prevent SQL injection in a Node.js API?"
• "Set up security headers with Helmet"

Guidelines

• Validate and sanitize all user input
• Use parameterized queries to prevent SQL injection
• Run npm audit regularly and fix vulnerabilities
• Set security headers with helmet middleware
• Implement rate limiting on all public endpoints
