Next.js Security

Priority: P0 (CRITICAL)

Workflow: Secure Next.js App

  1. Add auth middleware — Create middleware.ts to verify JWT/session on protected routes.
  2. Validate Server Actions — Parse all inputs with Zod schemas; call await auth() first.
  3. Set security headers — Add CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options in middleware response.
  4. Use server-only — Import in modules containing secrets to prevent client bundling.
  5. Taint sensitive objects — Use taintObjectReference to block server objects from reaching client.

Secure Server Action Example

See implementation examples

Implementation Guidelines

  • Next.js Middleware: Use middleware.ts for edge-side authentication, role-based access control (RBAC), and enforcing Security Headers (e.g., Content-Security-Policy (CSP), X-XSS-Protection).
  • Server Actions: Always sanitize all inputs from FormData or JSON using Zod. Perform authentication checks (await auth()) inside every action to verify caller.
  • Data Tainting: Use experimental_taint API (taintObjectReference) to ensure sensitive server objects (e.g., User with passwordHash) never leak into Client Component.
  • Route Handlers (route.ts): Implement rate limiting to prevent brute-force or DoS attacks. Verify Origin/Referer headers to mitigate CSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery).
  • Auth Tokens: strictly use HttpOnly, Secure cookies with SameSite: 'Lax' for session management. Never store tokens in localStorage.
  • Logic Isolation: use server-only package to prevent backend-specific logic from included in client bundle.
  • Component Purity: Escape all user-provided content rendered in components. Never use dangerouslySetInnerHTML without sanitizer like DOMPurify.

Anti-Patterns

  • No leaking DB fields to client: Use DTOs; never pass raw model objects.
  • No process.env in client bundles: Mark as NEXT_PUBLIC_ only if safe to expose.
  • No unvalidated Server Action inputs: Always validate with Zod schema.
  • No auth checks in shared Layouts: Auth in layouts insecure; use Middleware.
