With cyber threats rising in 2025, front-end developers can no longer ignore security. Common vulnerabilities include XSS, CSRF, and insecure storage of tokens.
Best practices:
Input Validation: Never trust user inputs—sanitize everything.
Secure Cookies & Local Storage: Store tokens safely, avoid sensitive data in localStorage.
HTTPS Everywhere: Ensure TLS/SSL certificates are updated.
Content Security Policy (CSP): Prevent unauthorized scripts.
Regular Updates: Keep dependencies and frameworks patched.
Security must be built into the development workflow, not added as an afterthought.
