Best Practices

​

Protect Developer Credentials

• Limit and manage access to your Mufi Dashboard and API tokens.
• Set up a time-based one-time password (e.g., Google Authenticator) for accessing the your Mufi dashboard and features.

​

Secure Storage of Mufi API keys

• Store Mufi API tokens securely and minimize access to these credentials.
• They should only be used on the backend and never shared on the client side.

​

Mitigate XSS Attacks

• Use content security policies on the frontend.
• Implement TLS and HTTPS for all requests.
• Limit permissible JavaScript, set context headers properly, and avoid open redirects.
• If you enable the frame-src CSP, then you need to perform this whitelisting (learn how here).
• Enforce a strict Content Security Policy (CSP). Refer to this guide for more information.

​

Enhance CORS Security

• Add specific origins for CORS to protect your environment from unauthorized websites using your public environment key.
• Avoid using wildcards in favor of explicit domains.
• Be especially strict with your live environment (e.g don’t have localhost etc)

​

Addressing Potential Risks - internal employee account accessed

• Unauthorized activities could be conducted using acquired JWT and session key.
