Description
Need to document security management, concerns, recommendations and best practices in Spartacus.
See the following:
- https://github.com/SAP/cloud-commerce-spartacus-storefront/issues/3615
- https://github.com/SAP/cloud-commerce-spartacus-storefront/issues/3611
Additionally:
-
Document that storing such data in local/Session storage may be dangerous (e.g. multi-page under one URL) or have DPP concerns (per data storage) (ref: https://github.tools.sap/cx-commerce/spasec/issues/2)
See "Session Management" doc ticket below. -
Document necessity for encryption in security guide! (as spartacus does not enforce HTTPS, users security can be threatened if operating party deploys it using HTTP) (ref: https://github.tools.sap/cx-commerce/spasec/issues/4)
See "Authentication in HTTPS" doc ticket below. -
The use of headers to prevent the load of the UI on an iFrame is required. (https://github.tools.sap/cx-commerce/spasec/issues/11)
See "Clickjacking" doc ticket below.
