BEFORE YOU LAUNCH YOUR APP,
CHECK ITS SECURITY IN 20 SECONDS.
We audited 600 applications launched on Show HN — 100% shipped with security flaws, and 38% had critical vulnerabilities. Don't let your launch day get ruined by a database dump or leaked Stripe key.
THE 8-POINT CHECKLIST
WHAT TO AUDIT BEFORE POSTING ON PRODUCT HUNT & HN
Supabase / Firebase Database Protection
Confirm Row Level Security (RLS) is active so strangers cannot query all tables.
No Leaked API Keys in Client Bundle
Scan compiled JS files to ensure no Stripe secret keys or private JWTs are exposed.
SSL / TLS Certificate & HSTS Enforcement
Ensure all HTTP traffic forces HTTPS and HSTS headers prevent downgrade attacks.
Content Security Policy (CSP) & Clickjacking
Set X-Frame-Options: DENY and a strict CSP to block framing and unauthorized scripts.
Secure Authentication & Session Cookies
Verify all session cookies carry HttpOnly, Secure, and SameSite=Lax flags.
CORS Origin Lockdown
Ensure Access-Control-Allow-Origin does not use wildcard * with credentials enabled.
Debug Endpoints & Source Maps Disabled
Confirm /.env, /.git, and production .js.map files are blocked from public viewing.
Rate Limiting on Authentication Endpoints
Protect signup and login routes against brute-force and credential stuffing.
