πŸ›‘οΈ Security Best Practices

For Contributors

When contributing to MyProperty, please follow these security best practices:

Backend (Laravel)

  1. Input Validation

    // Use form requests for validation
    class StorePropertyRequest extends FormRequest
    {
        public function rules(): array
        {
            return [
                'title' => 'required|string|max:255',
                'price' => 'required|numeric|min:0',
                'email' => 'required|email|max:255',
            ];
        }
    }
  2. SQL Injection Prevention

    • Use Eloquent ORM instead of raw SQL queries
    • Use parameter binding when writing raw queries
    • Validate all user input
  3. Authentication & Authorization

    • Use Laravel Sanctum for API authentication
    • Implement proper role-based access control
    • Validate user permissions for sensitive operations
  4. Data Protection

    • Hash passwords using bcrypt
    • Never store sensitive data in client-side code
    • Use HTTPS in production

Frontend (React)

  1. Input Sanitization

    // Validate user input
    const validateEmail = (email: string): boolean => {
        const emailRegex = /^[^\s@]+@[^\s@]+\.[^\s@]+$/;
        return emailRegex.test(email);
    };
  2. Secure Storage

    • Never store sensitive data in localStorage
    • Use secure HTTP-only cookies for tokens
    • Implement proper token expiration
  3. API Security

    • Validate all API responses
    • Implement proper error handling
    • Use HTTPS for all API calls

For Users

  1. Strong Passwords

    • Use unique passwords for each account
    • Include uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols
    • Change passwords regularly
  2. Two-Factor Authentication

    • Enable 2FA when available
    • Use authenticator apps when possible
    • Keep backup codes secure
  3. Phishing Awareness

    • Never share your password
    • Verify email senders
    • Report suspicious emails
