This document outlines the security measures implemented in the JG Engine platform and guidelines for maintaining security.
All user inputs are validated and sanitized:
- Title & Description: Limited to 100 and 500 characters respectively
- Content Filtering: Automatic detection of spam, profanity, and suspicious patterns
- Schema Validation: Using Zod for type-safe request validation
- SQL Injection Prevention: Using Supabase's parameterized queries
API endpoints are protected with rate limiting:
- Builds: 5 per hour per user
- Game Creation: 10 per hour per user
- Comments: 30 per hour per user
- Reports: 5 per hour per user
- General API: 100 requests per minute per user
- Supabase Auth: Secure authentication with email/password and OAuth
- Row Level Security (RLS): Database-level access control
- Ownership Verification: All operations verify user ownership before execution
- Protected Routes: Middleware ensures authentication on protected pages
The following security headers are automatically added to all responses:
Strict-Transport-Security: Enforces HTTPSX-Frame-Options: Prevents clickjackingX-Content-Type-Options: Prevents MIME sniffingX-XSS-Protection: Browser XSS protectionReferrer-Policy: Controls referrer informationPermissions-Policy: Restricts browser features
- Environment Variables: Validated and type-checked
- Sensitive Data: API keys and secrets stored in environment variables only
- Error Messages: Sanitized to prevent information leakage
- Request Size Limits: Maximum 500KB per API request
- Content Filtering: Automatic detection of:
- Blocked words and phrases
- URLs and email addresses
- Phone numbers
- Excessive capitalization
- Spam patterns
- Text Sanitization: Removal of control characters
- Length Limits: Enforced on all user-generated content
- Never commit secrets: Always use environment variables
- Validate all inputs: Use Zod schemas for validation
- Sanitize outputs: Prevent XSS by sanitizing data before rendering
- Use parameterized queries: Prevent SQL injection
- Implement rate limiting: Protect endpoints from abuse
- Log security events: Monitor suspicious activity
- Use HTTPS: Always serve the application over HTTPS
- Rotate secrets: Regularly rotate API keys and secrets
- Monitor logs: Set up alerting for unusual activity
- Keep dependencies updated: Regularly update npm packages
- Use environment-specific configs: Separate dev/prod configurations
- Enable Supabase RLS: Ensure Row Level Security is active
Required environment variables are validated on startup:
// Required
NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL
NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY
SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY
NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_URL
// Optional (feature-dependent)
OPENAI_API_KEY
BUILD_SERVICE_URL
BUILD_SERVICE_SECRET
STRIPE_SECRET_KEY
STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRETIf you discover a security vulnerability, please email security@yourdomain.com instead of opening a public issue.
Before deploying to production:
- All environment variables are set correctly
- HTTPS is enabled
- Rate limiting is configured
- Supabase RLS policies are active
- Error messages don't leak sensitive information
- Content filtering is enabled
- Security headers are configured
- Dependencies are up to date
- Build service authentication is configured
- Stripe webhook signature verification is enabled
-
In-Memory Rate Limiting: Current rate limiting uses in-memory storage. For production with multiple instances, use Redis or a similar distributed cache.
-
Basic Content Filter: The content filter is basic. For production, integrate with a professional service like:
- AWS Comprehend
- Google Cloud Natural Language API
- WebPurify
-
No DDoS Protection: Implement CloudFlare or AWS Shield for DDoS protection in production.
- Implement Redis-based rate limiting for distributed deployments
- Add CAPTCHA for public endpoints
- Integrate professional content moderation API
- Add IP-based rate limiting
- Implement audit logging
- Add automated security scanning in CI/CD
- Set up Web Application Firewall (WAF)
- Implement Content Security Policy (CSP) headers
This application follows security best practices as outlined by:
- OWASP Top 10
- OWASP API Security Top 10
- CWE/SANS Top 25
