🔒 Security concerns |
- Sensitive Information Exposure: The JWT token includes sensitive user details like `emailId` and is stored in cookies without sufficient protections against interception (missing `secure` flag). |
⚡ Key issues to review |
Possible Bug: The authenticate middleware in moodEntryRoutes.js uses req.user = decoded.user; but the JWT token is signed with { userId: user._id, username: user.username, emailId: user.emailId } . It should be req.user = decoded; to correctly attach the user details to the request. |
Data Validation: In moodEntryRoutes.js , there is no validation to check if the userId from the request body matches the authenticated user's ID. This could allow users to post data on behalf of others. | |
Error Handling: In moodEntryRoutes.js , the error handling could be improved by providing more specific messages and possibly logging the errors for further investigation. | |
Security Concern: The JWT token is stored in cookies without the secure flag in userRoutes.js . It's recommended to set httpOnly: true, secure: true to prevent access to the token via client-side scripts and ensure it's only sent over HTTPS. |
