Security Best Practices

For Developers

  1. Never commit sensitive data:

    • API keys, tokens, passwords
    • Database credentials
    • Private keys or certificates
    • User data or logs
  2. Use environment variables:

    • All secrets must be stored in .env files (which are gitignored)
    • Never use hardcoded default secrets in production
  3. Review before committing:

    • Always run git status and git diff before committing
    • Check for accidentally staged sensitive files
  4. Database query logs:

    • The .manus/ directory is now gitignored
    • Never commit database query logs or debugging output

For Deployment

  1. Rotate credentials immediately if exposed:

    • Database passwords
    • API keys
    • Session secrets
    • OAuth client secrets
  2. Enable GitHub Security Features:

    • Secret scanning
    • Dependabot alerts
    • Code scanning
  3. Regular security audits:

    • Run npm audit regularly
    • Keep dependencies up to date
    • Review access logs
