salihozdemir / stackoverflow-clone Goto Github PK

I am unable to get the application to use a basePath parameter supplied in the next.config.js file:

adding

module.exports = { basePath: '/somepath' ...

doesn't seem to have any effect

Hello,

First of all, "ellerine sağlık", the project is great!

I think changing the name into something else (maybe another error like segmentation fault to keep the joke) would be better, because this project may be easily turned into a self-hosted version of Stack Overflow (actually a self-hosted Q&A platform) and may be used by organizations or projects that need such solution.

Best regards,

While answering the question. Please add a note if the user is new, saying " UserName123 is a new contributor. Be nice, and check out our Code of Conduct."

I try to test stackoverflow-clone on local with Linux, but I have this alert in the page, instead of the database content.

Problem

When you decode the provided JWT token to authorize the request, you're not checking whether the JWT token is genuine; that it was signed by you, and the contents are valid.

This means that I could create my own token, pretending to be any user I like, and your server won't check to see if it's a forgery.

I could also create a token that contains { role: "admin" } and do whatever an admin can do:

This is also a problem in your reddit-clone repo

Example

For example, this completely fake & unsigned JWT token I made myself:

e30.eyJpZCI6MSwidXNlcm5hbWUiOiJhbGljZSIsInJvbGUiOiJhZG1pbiJ9

Which contains this fake data:

{
    id: 1,
    username: "alice",
    role: "admin"
}

Would allow me to bypass your requireAuth middleware.

Documentation

The library you're using to do this (jwt-decode) has a large warning about this on its README:

jwt-decode is a small browser library that helps decoding JWTs token which are Base64Url encoded.

IMPORTANT: This library doesn't validate the token, any well formed JWT can be decoded. You should validate the token in your server-side logic by using something like express-jwt, koa-jwt, Owin Bearer JWT, etc.

First Congratulations for your work, I'm trying to get better at front end and react. I'm trying to understand how is the process do you take when you clone?

Hey there! I am new to programming and I know only firebase... Could you create the same clone ( all the files should be same) but only replace mongodb with firebase?

Hi, can you please mention the source where you found this data of users, questions, tags etc

Is there an admin panel?

So far this clone looks beautiful. Best way to get a lot of tips/fixes/etc. would be to include a vercel "deploy" link or deploy instructions for vercel.

I create the cluster, the user and then allowing all IPs to have access to my cluster. I press connect to get the application string and change the with my password leaving the default database myFirst Database. When I paste the string to the DATABASE_URL variable and then press deploy I get {"message":"Not found"}. What am I doing wrong?
