Autentikasi dan sesi for Express

high5 checks

Authentication is the highest-value target on any site: credential stuffing, session fixation and CSRF all aim at the same door.

What Express must have

  • Login forms post over HTTPS with a CSRF token
  • Rate limiting and lockout on failed attempts
  • MFA available for privileged accounts
  • Passwords screened against known breach corpora
  • No account enumeration through error messages

How to fix it

  1. 1Add per-account and per-IP throttling
  2. 2Enforce MFA for admins and screen passwords with a k-anonymity API

Express context

Node.js HTTP framework for APIs and server-rendered apps.

Disable x-powered-by, set security headers via helmet, and validate body/query input to avoid prototype pollution.
