Patient requests are not protected at all, so it could be used to perform DDoS attacks or mainly "cost attacks". My suggestion is to create a magic number that involves a salt from an env variable, and it will be used to "authenticate" patient requests through a new specialized authorizer function.

This is ridiculously critical to implement before lunching.

  • Implement authorizer
  • Protect patient endpoints
  • Implement new security measures in frontend
