some best practices for preventing common attacks:

  • Input validation: Validate all user input on the client and server side to ensure that it is in the expected format and does not contain any malicious code. Use built-in Angular validation directives or a third-party library, like Angular Reactive Forms, to validate form inputs
  • Output encoding: Use Angular’s built-in sanitization methods to encode all user input that is displayed in the view. This will prevent any malicious code from being executed in the browser
  • Use a Content Security Policy (CSP): A CSP is a security mechanism that helps to prevent XSS and other code injection attacks by defining a whitelist of sources of content that a browser should be allowed to load
  • Use security headers: Use security headers such as the X-XSS-Protection and X-Content-Type-Options headers to help prevent XSS and other code injection attacks
