Continuing the various threads about Node-RED security, I wanted to highlight another issue you may face. This is common to any NodeJS application.
You can get security vulnerabilities via many channels of course. The operating system being an obvious one. This is managed by regular patching along with security hardening. Next up is NodeJS which is the tool that underpins Node-RED along with other core tools such as ExpressJS, JQuery, D3 and so on. All of these need to be patched and secured. Node-RED already takes care of some of the security for you but patching is up to you.
Then you have the contributed nodes you use in your flows. These also use NodeJS and the majority will use 3rd party modules/libraries/packages as well.
Now you have an extra problem. Lots of these technologies and packages interlink. So just because you've updated Node-RED, that doesn't mean that it is free to use the latest version of a module because perhaps (as is currently the case) an older version of NodeJS is still supported. Similarly, contributed nodes are often written by part-time amateurs like me and so not always updated as rapidly as they should be.
All of this can leave occasionally gaping holes in your security. Connect this to the Internet and you can see the potential problems I hope. Also, I hope that you can see why many of us advise considerable caution about connecting Node-RED to the Internet directly.
I'll leave you with a current example from my own live home automation system (that is certainly NOT directly accessible from the Internet). The following is the output from running npm audit
in my userDir
folder after running npm update
to install the latest patches.
Again, keeping perspective, is this a problem for everyone? No. Can it be managed? Yes. But there are risks and they need to be actively managed.
$ npm audit
=== npm audit security report ===
# Run npm update request --depth 3 to resolve 8 vulnerabilities

I have a blog post where I'm slowly trying to put this kind of information together.
Please feel free to add more information for that post either here or in the comments on that page. If we can, between us, collect more information and guidance, we can help update the official documentation.
