Single-Page Applications Face Access Control Vulnerabilities

/ 1 min read

🔑 Single-page applications (SPAs) face significant access control vulnerabilities. SPAs, popular for their dynamic interfaces, often rely on client-side rendering, which can expose them to unauthorized access and data manipulation. Key vulnerabilities include routing manipulation, hidden elements, and JavaScript debugging, allowing users to bypass access controls. To mitigate these risks, developers are advised to implement robust server-side access controls on APIs, utilize JSON Web Tokens for session management, and consider server-side rendering frameworks. Regular penetration testing is also recommended to identify and address security gaps. By prioritizing these security measures, developers can enhance the safety of SPAs while maintaining a seamless user experience.
