Over a two-month period, 4thmouse enhanced user profile security for the PolicyEngine/policyengine-app repository by implementing token-based authentication for sensitive API operations. They introduced custom React hooks, useAuthenticatedFetch and useAuthenticatedApiCall, to automatically inject bearer tokens into PUT and POST requests, replacing direct API calls and improving data integrity. Working primarily with JavaScript and React, 4thmouse also addressed a critical bug by updating the authentication mechanism to use the Authorization header, ensuring consistent and secure API access. Their work focused on robust API integration and authentication, resulting in safer user-profile management and aligning the codebase with modern security best practices.
