Ai Vault is designed with a Security-First mindset:
- Server-Side Validation: All data mutations derive identity directly from authorized Clerk tokens via Convex
ctx.auth. - RBAC (Role-Based Access Control): Admin access is strictly enforced via a whitelist of User IDs stored in secure environment variables.
- Input Sanitization: All user-submitted content is validated against Zod schemas before hitting the database.
- CSRF & XSS Protection: Leverages Next.js and React's built-in protections combined with strict Content Security Policies.
- Node.js 20+
