Chhavi Goyal contributed to hoppscotch/hoppscotch by building and refining core authentication and import features over three months. She developed a centralized token validation endpoint, integrating server-side checks to ensure user actions only proceed with valid authentication tokens, thereby aligning security across backend and frontend using Node.js, TypeScript, and Vue.js. Chhavi also improved the import workflow by preserving collection hierarchies and enhancing cURL import to retain Authorization headers, addressing both data integrity and API request fidelity. Her work included upgrading XML dependencies to mitigate security risks, demonstrating depth in API security, dependency management, and full stack development within a collaborative environment.

September 2025: Implemented a centralized Token Validation and Verification Endpoint in hoppscotch/hoppscotch. Introduced server-side token validity checks across core user workflows to ensure actions only proceed with valid tokens. Addressed token expiration edge-case to prevent actions by logged-in users when tokens have expired, improving security and reliability. This work strengthens security, reduces risk of unauthorized actions, and aligns the authentication lifecycle across backend and frontend.

May 2025 focused on hardening dependencies and expanding import capabilities in hoppscotch/hoppscotch. Delivered a security/Performance patch for XML handling by upgrading xmldom to 0.9.8 and updating related dependencies, and enhanced cURL import to preserve Authorization headers in parsed requests. These changes reduce security risk, improve parsing throughput, and enable more accurate API request recreation, contributing to developer productivity and reliability of the platform.
