Power Pages: Create Power Pages SPA site from the Power Pages studio

🚨 The Signal: Power Pages now supports creating Single-Page Application (SPA) sites directly from the studio. This simplifies development but introduces new attack surfaces for web applications, requiring careful security configuration.

The Impact

Developers and security teams are affected by new web application security risks.

  • Developers: Easier SPA creation means more web apps to secure.
  • Security Teams: Increased attack surface from new public-facing applications.
  • Compliance Officers: Potential for unmanaged web assets impacting ISM compliance.

The Action

  1. Review existing Power Pages governance policies to include SPA development.
  2. Implement security baselines for Power Pages SPA sites, including authentication and authorization.
  3. Establish a process for security review and penetration testing of all new Power Pages SPA deployments.
  4. Educate developers on secure coding practices for Power Pages SPAs and integration with external frameworks.
  5. Monitor Power Pages environments for new site creation and ensure adherence to security standards.
