Securing Module Federation Remotes
Learn how to protect the remote-loading mechanism itself, preventing attackers from injecting or tampering with federated code at run time.
Remotes Are Live Code
Module Federation fetches and executes remote JavaScript at run time. That power is also a risk: if an attacker controls a remote URL, they can run code inside your app.
The Threat: Remote Tampering
Key threats to the federation layer include:
- A compromised remote host serving malicious code
- Man-in-the-middle modification of
remoteEntry.js - Loading a remote from an unexpected origin
