Security Notes

A few edge-level protections to be aware of:

  • Server Actions blocked. MindSwarm does not use Next.js Server Actions. Any POST with a Next-Action header is rejected with 400 Server Actions are not enabled on this site. at the frontend middleware before reaching the page handler. This guards against bots/scrapers crashing the SSR worker via malformed decodeReply requests. /api/*, /uploads/*, and Next static assets are excluded from this matcher.
  • JWT rotation with replay detection. Reusing a refresh token wipes all active sessions for that user.
  • SSRF guard on link previews. Private IPs and redirects to private IPs are blocked when fetching OG metadata.
  • ShortId URLs. No MongoDB ObjectIDs are exposed in user-facing URLs.
