Your Node.js API might be wide open - and you don't even know it.

Authentication says who you are
Authorization says what you can do

Skip either and you're asking for trouble

Always validate your JWTs - don't just decode them, verify the signature

Use scoped access tokens - don't give full permissions when you only need read access

Implement role-based access control - because not every user should be an admin

Lock your API like it's Fort Knox
Because on the internet... someone's always knocking
