# Convex Security Check
|
||||
|
||||
A quick security audit checklist for Convex applications covering authentication, function exposure, argument validation, row-level access control, and environment variable handling.
|
||||
|
||||
## Documentation Sources
|
||||
|
||||
Before implementing, do not assume; fetch the latest documentation:
|
||||
|
||||
- Primary: https://docs.convex.dev/auth
|
||||
- Production Security: https://docs.convex.dev/production
|
||||
- Functions Auth: https://docs.convex.dev/auth/functions-auth
|
||||
- For broader context: https://docs.convex.dev/llms.txt
|
||||
|
||||
## Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
### Security Checklist
|
||||
|
||||
Use this checklist to quickly audit your Convex application's security:
|
||||
|
||||
#### 1. Authentication
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Authentication provider configured (Clerk, Auth0, etc.)
|
||||
- [ ] All sensitive queries check `ctx.auth.getUserIdentity()`
|
||||
- [ ] Unauthenticated access explicitly allowed where intended
|
||||
- [ ] Session tokens properly validated
|
||||
|
||||
#### 2. Function Exposure
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Public functions (`query`, `mutation`, `action`) reviewed
|
||||
- [ ] Internal functions use `internalQuery`, `internalMutation`, `internalAction`
|
||||
- [ ] No sensitive operations exposed as public functions
|
||||
- [ ] HTTP actions validate origin/authentication
|
||||
|
||||
#### 3. Argument Validation
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] All functions have explicit `args` validators
|
||||
- [ ] All functions have explicit `returns` validators
|
||||
- [ ] No `v.any()` used for sensitive data
|
||||
- [ ] ID validators use correct table names
|
||||
|
||||
#### 4. Row-Level Access Control
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Users can only access their own data
|
||||
- [ ] Admin functions check user roles
|
||||
- [ ] Shared resources have proper access checks
|
||||
- [ ] Deletion functions verify ownership
|
||||
|
||||
#### 5. Environment Variables
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] API keys stored in environment variables
|
||||
- [ ] No secrets in code or schema
|
||||
- [ ] Different keys for dev/prod environments
|
||||
- [ ] Environment variables accessed only in actions
|
||||
|
||||
### Authentication Check
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// convex/auth.ts
|
||||
import { ConvexError, v } from 'convex/values';
|
||||
|
||||
import { mutation, query } from './_generated/server';
|
||||
|
||||
// Helper to require authentication
|
||||
async function requireAuth(ctx: QueryCtx | MutationCtx) {
|
||||
const identity = await ctx.auth.getUserIdentity();
|
||||
if (!identity) {
|
||||
throw new ConvexError('Authentication required');
|
||||
}
|
||||
return identity;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Secure query pattern
|
||||
export const getMyProfile = query({
|
||||
args: {},
|
||||
returns: v.union(
|
||||
v.object({
|
||||
_id: v.id('users'),
|
||||
name: v.string(),
|
||||
email: v.string(),
|
||||
}),
|
||||
v.null(),
|
||||
),
|
||||
handler: async (ctx) => {
|
||||
const identity = await requireAuth(ctx);
|
||||
|
||||
return await ctx.db
|
||||
.query('users')
|
||||
.withIndex('by_tokenIdentifier', (q) =>
|
||||
q.eq('tokenIdentifier', identity.tokenIdentifier),
|
||||
)
|
||||
.unique();
|
||||
},
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Function Exposure Check
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// PUBLIC - Exposed to clients (review carefully!)
|
||||
export const listPublicPosts = query({
|
||||
args: {},
|
||||
returns: v.array(
|
||||
v.object({
|
||||
/* ... */
|
||||
}),
|
||||
),
|
||||
handler: async (ctx) => {
|
||||
// Anyone can call this - intentionally public
|
||||
return await ctx.db
|
||||
.query('posts')
|
||||
.withIndex('by_public', (q) => q.eq('isPublic', true))
|
||||
.collect();
|
||||
},
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
// INTERNAL - Only callable from other Convex functions
|
||||
export const _updateUserCredits = internalMutation({
|
||||
args: { userId: v.id('users'), amount: v.number() },
|
||||
returns: v.null(),
|
||||
handler: async (ctx, args) => {
|
||||
// This cannot be called directly from clients
|
||||
await ctx.db.patch(args.userId, {
|
||||
credits: args.amount,
|
||||
});
|
||||
return null;
|
||||
},
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Argument Validation Check
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// GOOD: Strict validation
|
||||
export const createPost = mutation({
|
||||
args: {
|
||||
title: v.string(),
|
||||
content: v.string(),
|
||||
category: v.union(v.literal('tech'), v.literal('news'), v.literal('other')),
|
||||
},
|
||||
returns: v.id('posts'),
|
||||
handler: async (ctx, args) => {
|
||||
const identity = await requireAuth(ctx);
|
||||
return await ctx.db.insert('posts', {
|
||||
...args,
|
||||
authorId: identity.tokenIdentifier,
|
||||
});
|
||||
},
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
// BAD: Weak validation
|
||||
export const createPostUnsafe = mutation({
|
||||
args: {
|
||||
data: v.any(), // DANGEROUS: Allows any data
|
||||
},
|
||||
returns: v.id('posts'),
|
||||
handler: async (ctx, args) => {
|
||||
return await ctx.db.insert('posts', args.data);
|
||||
},
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Row-Level Access Control Check
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Verify ownership before update
|
||||
export const updateTask = mutation({
|
||||
args: {
|
||||
taskId: v.id('tasks'),
|
||||
title: v.string(),
|
||||
},
|
||||
returns: v.null(),
|
||||
handler: async (ctx, args) => {
|
||||
const identity = await requireAuth(ctx);
|
||||
|
||||
const task = await ctx.db.get(args.taskId);
|
||||
|
||||
// Check ownership
|
||||
if (!task || task.userId !== identity.tokenIdentifier) {
|
||||
throw new ConvexError('Not authorized to update this task');
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
await ctx.db.patch(args.taskId, { title: args.title });
|
||||
return null;
|
||||
},
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
// Verify ownership before delete
|
||||
export const deleteTask = mutation({
|
||||
args: { taskId: v.id('tasks') },
|
||||
returns: v.null(),
|
||||
handler: async (ctx, args) => {
|
||||
const identity = await requireAuth(ctx);
|
||||
|
||||
const task = await ctx.db.get(args.taskId);
|
||||
|
||||
if (!task || task.userId !== identity.tokenIdentifier) {
|
||||
throw new ConvexError('Not authorized to delete this task');
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
await ctx.db.delete(args.taskId);
|
||||
return null;
|
||||
},
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Environment Variables Check
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// convex/actions.ts
|
||||
'use node';
|
||||
|
||||
import { v } from 'convex/values';
|
||||
|
||||
import { action } from './_generated/server';
|
||||
|
||||
export const sendEmail = action({
|
||||
args: {
|
||||
to: v.string(),
|
||||
subject: v.string(),
|
||||
body: v.string(),
|
||||
},
|
||||
returns: v.object({ success: v.boolean() }),
|
||||
handler: async (ctx, args) => {
|
||||
// Access API key from environment
|
||||
const apiKey = process.env.RESEND_API_KEY;
|
||||
|
||||
if (!apiKey) {
|
||||
throw new Error('RESEND_API_KEY not configured');
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
const response = await fetch('https://api.resend.com/emails', {
|
||||
method: 'POST',
|
||||
headers: {
|
||||
Authorization: `Bearer ${apiKey}`,
|
||||
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
|
||||
},
|
||||
body: JSON.stringify({
|
||||
from: 'noreply@example.com',
|
||||
to: args.to,
|
||||
subject: args.subject,
|
||||
html: args.body,
|
||||
}),
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
return { success: response.ok };
|
||||
},
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Examples
|
||||
|
||||
### Complete Security Pattern
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// convex/secure.ts
|
||||
import { ConvexError, v } from 'convex/values';
|
||||
|
||||
import { internalMutation, mutation, query } from './_generated/server';
|
||||
|
||||
// Authentication helper
|
||||
async function getAuthenticatedUser(ctx: QueryCtx | MutationCtx) {
|
||||
const identity = await ctx.auth.getUserIdentity();
|
||||
if (!identity) {
|
||||
throw new ConvexError({
|
||||
code: 'UNAUTHENTICATED',
|
||||
message: 'You must be logged in',
|
||||
});
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
const user = await ctx.db
|
||||
.query('users')
|
||||
.withIndex('by_tokenIdentifier', (q) =>
|
||||
q.eq('tokenIdentifier', identity.tokenIdentifier),
|
||||
)
|
||||
.unique();
|
||||
|
||||
if (!user) {
|
||||
throw new ConvexError({
|
||||
code: 'USER_NOT_FOUND',
|
||||
message: 'User profile not found',
|
||||
});
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
return user;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Check admin role
|
||||
async function requireAdmin(ctx: QueryCtx | MutationCtx) {
|
||||
const user = await getAuthenticatedUser(ctx);
|
||||
|
||||
if (user.role !== 'admin') {
|
||||
throw new ConvexError({
|
||||
code: 'FORBIDDEN',
|
||||
message: 'Admin access required',
|
||||
});
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
return user;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Public: List own tasks
|
||||
export const listMyTasks = query({
|
||||
args: {},
|
||||
returns: v.array(
|
||||
v.object({
|
||||
_id: v.id('tasks'),
|
||||
title: v.string(),
|
||||
completed: v.boolean(),
|
||||
}),
|
||||
),
|
||||
handler: async (ctx) => {
|
||||
const user = await getAuthenticatedUser(ctx);
|
||||
|
||||
return await ctx.db
|
||||
.query('tasks')
|
||||
.withIndex('by_user', (q) => q.eq('userId', user._id))
|
||||
.collect();
|
||||
},
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
// Admin only: List all users
|
||||
export const listAllUsers = query({
|
||||
args: {},
|
||||
returns: v.array(
|
||||
v.object({
|
||||
_id: v.id('users'),
|
||||
name: v.string(),
|
||||
role: v.string(),
|
||||
}),
|
||||
),
|
||||
handler: async (ctx) => {
|
||||
await requireAdmin(ctx);
|
||||
|
||||
return await ctx.db.query('users').collect();
|
||||
},
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
// Internal: Update user role (never exposed)
|
||||
export const _setUserRole = internalMutation({
|
||||
args: {
|
||||
userId: v.id('users'),
|
||||
role: v.union(v.literal('user'), v.literal('admin')),
|
||||
},
|
||||
returns: v.null(),
|
||||
handler: async (ctx, args) => {
|
||||
await ctx.db.patch(args.userId, { role: args.role });
|
||||
return null;
|
||||
},
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
- Never run `npx convex deploy` unless explicitly instructed
|
||||
- Never run any git commands unless explicitly instructed
|
||||
- Always verify user identity before returning sensitive data
|
||||
- Use internal functions for sensitive operations
|
||||
- Validate all arguments with strict validators
|
||||
- Check ownership before update/delete operations
|
||||
- Store API keys in environment variables
|
||||
- Review all public functions for security implications
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Pitfalls
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Missing authentication checks** - Always verify identity
|
||||
2. **Exposing internal operations** - Use internalMutation/Query
|
||||
3. **Trusting client-provided IDs** - Verify ownership
|
||||
4. **Using v.any() for arguments** - Use specific validators
|
||||
5. **Hardcoding secrets** - Use environment variables
