- Treat provider CSV exports as untrusted input in spreadsheet tools; prefer importing into systems that neutralise formula cells.
- Treat enrollment URLs as sensitive bearer material: do not place them in redirect query parameters, logs, or analytics tags; keep them in one-time server-side flash/session state.
- If your deployment runs behind reverse proxies, ensure trusted-proxy configuration is strict so spoofed forwarding headers cannot bypass IP-based abuse controls.
- Trusted proxy allowlists may be expressed as explicit IPs or CIDR ranges; avoid broad ranges and keep proxy chains minimal.
- For approval-driven admin mutations, assume provider-side execution is serialized per approval item; client retries should still be idempotent and bounded.
- This serialization applies across approval actions (approve/reject/cancel), so clients should avoid parallel decision submissions for the same request ID.
- For provider CSV-based user import operations, enforce strict file-size and row-count limits in automation tooling and surface clear operator errors on limit breaches.
