Cascade Broke Webhook Signature Validation
Webhook signature validation is broken after Cascade refactored the verification code. This is a critical security issue - spoofed webhooks from attackers are being accepted as legitimate. Stripe or other webhook payloads are not being verified before processing.
Cascade likely removed or modified the signature verification logic during refactoring.
Error Messages You Might See
Webhook signature invalid
HMAC verification failed
Signature mismatch
Webhook authenticity could not be verified
Common Causes
- Cascade removed HMAC-SHA256 signature verification from webhook handler
- Webhook secret changed without updating verification code
- Cascade removed timestamp validation preventing replay attacks
- Algorithm mismatch in signature generation vs verification
How to Fix It
Implement webhook signature verification immediately. Verify request body signature against webhook secret using HMAC-SHA256. Validate timestamp is recent (within 5 minutes) to prevent replay attacks. Verify algorithm used matches webhook provider documentation. Test with invalid signature to ensure rejection.

Caio Rodrigues
I'm a full-stack developer focused on building practical and scalable web applications. My main experience is with **React, TypeScript, and modern frontend architectures**, where I prioritize clean code, component reusability, and maintainable project structures.
I have strong experience working with **dynamic forms, state management (Redux / React Hook Form), and complex data-driven interfaces**. I enjoy solving real-world problems by turning ideas into reliable software that companies can actually use in their daily operations.
Beyond coding, I care about **software quality and architecture**, following best practices for componentization, code organization, and performance optimization.
I'm also comfortable working across the stack when needed, integrating APIs, handling business logic, and helping transform prototypes into production-ready systems.
My goal is always to deliver solutions that are **simple, efficient, and genuinely useful for the people using them.**

I am a technologist and product builder dedicated to creating high-impact solutions at the intersection of AI and specialized markets. Currently, I am focused on PropScan (EstateGuard), an AI-driven SaaS platform tailored for the Japanese real estate industry, and exploring the potential of Archify.
As an INFJ-T, I approach development with a "systems-thinking" mindset—balancing technical precision with a deep understanding of user needs. I particularly enjoy the challenge of architecting Vertical AI SaaS and optimizing Small Language Models (SLMs) to solve specific, real-world business problems. Whether I'm in a CTO-level leadership role or hands-on with the code, I thrive on building tools that turn complex data into actionable value.

You don't need to be technical. Just describe what's wrong and a verified developer will handle the rest.
Get HelpFrequently Asked Questions
How do I verify Stripe webhooks?
Use stripe.webhooks.constructEvent() with endpoint secret. Catches signature verification and parsing.
What timestamp validation should I do?
Verify t parameter is within last 5 minutes to prevent replay. Check against current system time.
