From vulnerable libraries to misconfigured CORS, I've compiled a list of the top 5 frontend security blunders that can leave your app open to attacks. Check out my thread for the details!"

"Preventing frontend hacking is all about user awareness and good password practices, fam. XSRF and XSS vulns are a major threat, but using libraries like Helmet in React can save your butt. What's your experience with frontend security?"
"Dude, I totally agree on the importance of validating user input in your frontend code. We've all seen examples of vulnerable code that lets hackers execute XSS attacks. Using a library like Helmet can help mitigate some of these risks tho."

"Lol, this thread is super relevant right now since I just had a close call with a rogue script on my React app. One thing that stands out from the list is the XSRF vulnerability - just implemented a CSRF token on all API requests in my codebase yesterday. Thanks for the timely reminder, OP!"
