Security Hardening

OpenCodeHub includes multiple built‑in security protections and requires strong secrets in production.

Required secrets

Set strong values in .env:

• JWT_SECRET (minimum 32 chars)
• SESSION_SECRET (minimum 32 chars)
• INTERNAL_HOOK_SECRET

Built‑in protections

• Rate limiting for authentication
• CSRF protection for state‑changing requests
• Input validation for API payloads
• Hook authentication for internal Git hooks

Recommendations

• Rotate tokens periodically.
• Use HTTPS in production.
• Enable and monitor audit logs.
• Restrict access to runner and storage secrets.
