Security Issues in Fine.dev Code

Fine.dev-generated API endpoints may be missing authentication middleware that other endpoints have. New React components may render user-generated content without sanitization. Input validation may be present on the frontend but absent on the backend. Security requirements need to be explicitly included in the spec or Fine.dev may omit them

Include security requirements explicitly in specs given to Fine.dev — authentication required, input validation rules, authorization checks. Review every Fine.dev PR for authentication middleware, server-side input validation, and user content handling. Run SAST on the PR diff

Every Fine.dev app needs authentication — verifying who the user is — and authorization — verifying what they're allowed to do. Check that every API route and server action verifies the user's identity before processing requests. Check that users can only access their own data. A common Fine.dev pattern is adding auth to the UI but not the API, which means anyone with the endpoint URL can access data directly.

Never trust data coming from the client. Every form submission, URL parameter, and API request body should be validated server-side before processing. Use a schema validation library like Zod to define expected shapes and reject anything that doesn't match. This prevents injection attacks, data corruption, and unexpected crashes.

Configure security headers to protect against common web attacks: Content-Security-Policy to prevent XSS, Strict-Transport-Security to enforce HTTPS, X-Frame-Options to prevent clickjacking, and X-Content-Type-Options to prevent MIME sniffing. Most hosting platforms let you configure these in a headers file or configuration.

If your app handles user data, processes payments, or stores sensitive information, a professional security review is essential before launch. Our security scan ($19) checks for the most critical vulnerabilities, and our full security review service provides a comprehensive assessment with remediation guidance.
