## Authenticate Server Actions Like API Routes
**Impact: CRITICAL (prevents unauthorized access to server mutations)**
Server Actions (functions with `"use server"`) are exposed as public endpoints, just like API routes. Always verify authentication and authorization **inside** each Server Action—do not rely solely on middleware, layout guards, or page-level checks, as Server Actions can be invoked directly.
Next.js documentation explicitly states: "Treat Server Actions with the same security considerations as public-facing API endpoints, and verify if the user is allowed to perform a mutation."
**Incorrect (no authentication check):**
```typescript
'use server'
export async function deleteUser(userId: string) {
// Anyone can call this! No auth check
await db.user.delete({ where: { id: userId } })
return { success: true }
}
```
**Correct (authentication inside the action):**
```typescript
'use server'
import { verifySession } from '@/lib/auth'
import { unauthorized } from '@/lib/errors'
export async function deleteUser(userId: string) {
// Always check auth inside the action
const session = await verifySession()
if (!session) {
throw unauthorized('Must be logged in')
}
// Check authorization too
if (session.user.role !== 'admin' && session.user.id !== userId) {
throw unauthorized('Cannot delete other users')
}
await db.user.delete({ where: { id: userId } })
return { success: true }
}
```
**With input validation:**
```typescript
'use server'
import { verifySession } from '@/lib/auth'
import { z } from 'zod'
const updateProfileSchema = z.object({
userId: z.string().uuid(),
name: z.string().min(1).max(100),
email: z.string().email()
})
export async function updateProfile(data: unknown) {
// Validate input first
const validated = updateProfileSchema.parse(data)
// Then authenticate
const session = await verifySession()
if (!session) {
throw new Error('Unauthorized')
}
// Then authorize
if (session.user.id !== validated.userId) {
throw new Error('Can only update own profile')
}
// Finally perform the mutation
await db.user.update({
where: { id: validated.userId },
data: {
name: validated.name,
email: validated.email
}
})
return { success: true }
}
```
