I missed ๐จ๐๐๐ช๐ง๐๐ฃ๐ one endpoint โ ๐ช๐ฏ ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ท โ on my .๐ก๐๐ง ๐ช๐ฒ๐ฏ ๐๐ฃ๐ a few years back. It was a good lesson, and it led me to adopt a ‘๐๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ฏ๐ ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ณ๐ฎ๐๐น๐’ mindset. ๐
It’s easy to overlook ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ฑ๐ฐ๐ช๐ฏ๐ต security; one common practice is using ๐ช๐ฏ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ช๐ต๐ข๐ฏ๐ค๐ฆ: creating a base abstract controller class with a ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ง๐ข๐ถ๐ญ๐ต ๐ด๐ฆ๐ค๐ถ๐ณ๐ช๐ต๐บ ๐ฑ๐ฐ๐ญ๐ช๐ค๐บ. Sounds robust, right? But imagine a new team member creating a controller and forgetting to inherit from this base. The result? ๐ฃ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ฎ๐น๐น๐ ๐๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฑ๐ฝ๐ผ๐ถ๐ป๐๐.
This is just one scenario among many. To avoid such pitfalls, you can start ๐๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐๐ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฑ๐ฝ๐ผ๐ถ๐ป๐๐. How? By invoking the ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ฐ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ฃ๐๐๐๐๐() method on ๐๐๐.๐ผ๐๐๐ฒ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐() during startup. This ensures that every controller or endpoint ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ๐ ๐ฎ๐๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐ณ๐ถ๐ฟ๐๐ โ ๐ข๐ต ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ข๐ด๐ต. ๐
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ฐ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ฃ๐๐๐๐๐() can be set up in different ways via a ๐๐ค๐ก๐๐๐ฎ. For instance, it can be configured to require a specific ๐ง๐ค๐ก๐ or ๐๐ก๐๐๐ข to increase the default security level.
PS: ๐๐ฏ๐ต๐ฆ๐จ๐ณ๐ข๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐ฐ๐ณ ๐ฏ๐ข๐ณ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ธ ๐ต๐ฆ๐ด๐ต๐ด can ensure all endpoints are properly secured.
How do you ensure your controllers and endpoints remain locked tight? ๐ค
