Do not use secrets in environment variables and here's how to do it better

From nodejs-security.com•Oct 06, 2024•25m read time

Storing secrets in environment variables is insecure, commonly leading to poorly managed secrets, potential SSR leaks, and risk of secret exposure via logs and process lists. It is advised to use secrets management services or mechanisms like Kubernetes sidecar containers and cloud vendor secrets services to handle sensitive information securely, thereby reducing security risks and ensuring better secret management practices.
