The application includes a Next.js middleware (middleware.ts) that sets the following security headers on all responses:
- X-Content-Type-Options:
nosniff- Prevents MIME type sniffing - X-Frame-Options:
DENY- Prevents clickjacking attacks - X-XSS-Protection:
1; mode=block- Enables XSS protection - Referrer-Policy:
strict-origin-when-cross-origin- Controls referrer information - Permissions-Policy: Restricts access to geolocation, microphone, and camera
All external links with target="_blank" include:
rel="noopener noreferrer"- Prevents window.opener access and referrer leakage
- Proper referrer policy configuration
- SEO-friendly robot directives
- Clear title and description tags
- New/Fresh Domain - Chrome may flag recently registered domains as a precaution
- External Link to Unverified Domain -
https://tribe.waitlist.soshould be verified as a legitimate domain - Preview/Staging Environment - Temporary preview URLs might trigger security warnings
- Missing SSL/HTTPS - Ensure your deployment uses HTTPS in production
- This warning is typically benign for staging/preview environments
- Chrome will not show this warning in production for legitimate domains
- The codebase itself is safe and doesn't contain malicious code
- Ensure HTTPS: All connections must use HTTPS
- Verify External Domains: Make sure
https://tribe.waitlist.sois:- Properly registered and owned by you/your organization
- Uses HTTPS
- Has valid SSL/TLS certificates
- Doesn't host suspicious content
- Add Trust Signals:
- Create a robots.txt file
- Add a security.txt file
- Include privacy and terms pages
- Implement proper contact information
- Monitor Security: Use Google Search Console to monitor security issues
To add CSP headers for additional protection, update middleware.ts:
response.headers.set(
"Content-Security-Policy",
"default-src 'self'; script-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline' 'unsafe-eval'; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'; img-src 'self' data: https:; font-src 'self' data: https://fonts.googleapis.com https://fonts.gstatic.com; connect-src 'self' https://*"
);All external links in the application:
- Use
rel="noopener noreferrer"for security - Should point to verified, trusted domains
- Target="_blank" links open in a new window safely
- No inline scripts or event handlers
- All data is sanitized by React (XSS protection by default)
- Type-safe code with TypeScript strict mode
- No third-party tracking without consent
- Verify domain ownership and SSL certificates
- Enable HTTPS only (HTTP → HTTPS redirect)
- Add robots.txt for search engines
- Create privacy policy and terms of service
- Test with Chrome DevTools security audit
- Monitor Google Search Console for warnings
- Implement proper CORS if needed
- Use environment variables for sensitive data
- Enable DDoS protection (Cloudflare, AWS Shield, etc.)
