Augment Code Security Best Practices
Augment Code brings AI to enterprise development. Enterprise-grade AI still needs enterprise-grade security review.
Verify your app follows these best practices automatically.
These best practices are derived from the actual security findings we see in Augment Code apps — not a generic OWASP list. Priority ordered: critical items close data-exposure gaps, high items prevent compromise, medium items reduce attack surface. Stack-specific guidance for Supabase included.

Security Best Practices
#1Bypassed Security Middleware
highAI-generated routes may skip the auth middleware pattern your team uses.
Implementation
Enforce email verification, minimum password requirements, and rate limiting on auth endpoints. Test auth flows as unauthenticated and cross-user to verify access controls.
#2Inherited Insecure Patterns
mediumAugment learns from your codebase — if there are insecure patterns, it propagates them.
Implementation
Scan your deployed application with a security tool that understands this stack. Address the specific findings — generic best practices don't catch platform-specific misconfigurations.
#3Supply Chain Risk from AI Suggestions
highSuggested dependencies may have known vulnerabilities.
Implementation
Run `npm audit` on every install. Verify suggested packages exist and have an established reputation before installing. Pin versions for reproducible builds.
#4Business Logic Exposure

Verify Your Augment Code App Security
Following best practices is the first step. Verify your app is actually secure with a comprehensive security scan.

What's the minimum security I need for a Augment app?
The critical-priority items above are non-negotiable for any Augment Code app that handles user data: . Everything else is iterative.
Should I run a security scan before launching a Augment Code app?
Yes — unconditionally. The mitigations above are specific enough that a scan proves they're implemented correctly. "I followed the checklist" isn't evidence; "the scan came back clean" is.
Is Augment Code secure by default?
Augment Code provides secure infrastructure, but the application-layer configuration (listed above) is the developer's job. The default state of a Augment Code app before any security work typically has at least one critical-priority issue open.
