The MERN stack, which comprises MongoDB, Express.js, React, and Node.js, is a popular choice for full-stack web development due to its seamless JavaScript integration across the entire development lifecycle. However, the rise of cyber threats has made security a paramount concern in web application development. This paper explores the security challenges inherent in the MERN stack and provides strategies to mitigate these risks. The focus is on securing data storage, managing authentication and authorization, protecting against common web vulnerabilities, and ensuring secure deployment practices. By addressing these issues, developers can enhance the security posture of their MERN stack applications, ensuring that they are robust against both current and emerging threats.
