## 2024-05-18 - Unsanitized X-Forwarded-For injection vulnerability
**Category:** Security
**Finding:** `x-forwarded-for` header values were passed directly into Supabase insert operations without sanitization or `.trim()`.
**Learning:** Proxy chains can prepend multiple IPs or inject spaces in the `x-forwarded-for` header. Passing this unsanitized directly to database queries could trigger DoS via massive insertion limits or injection vulnerabilities.
**Action:** Always extract the client IP securely using `(ip || "").split(",")[0].trim()`.

⚡ Flash Review

🐛 Bug: Defaulting projectId to a generic string 'fallback-id' if NEXT_PUBLIC_WALLET_CONNECT_PROJECT_ID is not set will likely cause WalletConnect to fail during initialization, preventing users from connecting their wallets. WalletConnect requires a valid project ID.

Fix: Ensure NEXT_PUBLIC_WALLET_CONNECT_PROJECT_ID is always configured in production. For development, consider throwing an explicit error if it's missing, or use a specific test ID provided by WalletConnect, rather than a generic string that will cause runtime failures.
