Node Express Crypto API Guard
Workflow
- •Map risk surface. List impacted endpoints, chain integrations, DB writes, and background jobs.
- •Validate secret and key boundaries. Ensure private keys, mnemonics, and JWT secrets are environment-backed and never logged.
- •Enforce request and response contracts. Add input validation, consistent error schemas, and idempotency keys for transfer-like actions.
- •Harden transactional flow. Wrap balance updates and ledger inserts in DB transactions. Add retry strategy only for safe idempotent operations.
- •Verify with focused tests. Run route-level tests for success, duplicate, invalid signature, and timeout paths.
Output Contract
Always include:
- •Security-sensitive paths touched.
- •Validation and idempotency changes.
- •Transaction consistency guarantees.
- •Verification commands and results.
