What are webhooks vulnerabilities and how can I protect against them?

Webhooks vulnerabilities refer to security risks associated with webhooks, such as unauthorized access or data leaks. To protect against them, you can implement validation, use secret tokens, and ensure HTTPS is used.

Can you explain how to validate webhook requests?

To validate webhook requests, you can check the signature included in the request headers against a known secret. This ensures that the request is from a trusted source.

What are some common types of attacks on webhooks?

Common attacks include replay attacks, where an attacker resends a valid request, and spoofing, where an attacker impersonates a legitimate source.

How can I implement rate limiting for webhooks?

You can implement rate limiting by tracking the number of requests from each source and blocking or throttling requests that exceed a predefined threshold.
