Secure Coding Guidelines

This guide walks you through the most common security issues Salesforce has identified while auditing applications built on or integrated with the Lightning Platform.

This guide takes into account that many of our developers write integration pieces with the Lightning Platform and includes examples from other web platforms such as Java, ASP.NET, PHP and Ruby on Rails. The Lightning Platform provides full or partial protection against many of these issues. It is noted when this is the case.

Consider this to be an easy to read reference and not a thorough documentation of all web application security flaws. More details on a broader spectrum of web application security problems can be found on the OWASP (Open Web Application Security Project) site.
