Why am I getting this error? I have pasted my rules below. I have implemented these rules for both storage and cloud firestore.
rules_version = '2';
service cloud.firestore {
match /databases/{database}/documents {
match /{document=**} {
allow read: if request.auth != null;
allow write: if false;
}
}
}
These are automated alerts by firebase. IMHO sometimes they are false positives. In this case, they deemed it insecure because
any logged-in user can read your entire database
If this is the intended behavior you can safely ignore this alert. Otherwise, create more precise rules for each collection/document.
Firebase keep telling me
We've detected the following issue(s) with your security rules:
any user can read your entire database
I have changed the rules but that rules doesn’t work in my app because all user can read from db and only authenticate user can write to db.
Firebase says that write and read should be performed until we login. But in my case every user can read and only login user can write.
Any ideas how to solve this ? or I'm I doing it wrong ?
rules_version = '2';
service cloud.firestore {
match /databases/{database}/documents {
match /{document=**} {
allow read;
allow write: if request.auth != null;
}
}
}
Can you set your read to false explicitly?
rules_version = '2';
service cloud.firestore {
match /databases/{database}/documents {
match /{document=**} {
allow read: if false;
allow write: if request.auth != null;
}
}
}
That should do it. Let me know if it persists.
The root cause is that even though you are allowing only authenticated users to read or write but they have access to the whole database as mentioned in the Google Cloud Firestore Documentation. That also means any authenticated user can write anything in your database.
If you database has a separate document for each user, I would suggest using the following rules which allows users to write/read their own data only.
rules_version = '2';
service cloud.firestore {
match /databases/{database}/documents {
match /users/{userId} {
allow read, write: if request.auth.uid === userId;
}
}
}
Hi I have the Firebase project, and when I create the databases, I create some rules for testing.
Now, they expire, and they close my project.
It is my first time working with Firebase projects, and I have no experience. I show you how I have defined the rules for both Cloud Firestore and the Realtime Database.
The project is an application in which users can register and leave their comments.
How should I set the rules for my databases to be secure?
How should I write my rules code?
I was absent from my project for a few days and they wrote to me from Google, which closes my project in two days. I have looked for information, but I do not know how to create the rules so that they are correct and my project also works
I EDIT MY QUESTION to add details
In my application I only want registered users to be able to write comments.
The alert that Firebase shows me is the following:
"Its security rules are defined as public, so anyone can steal, modify or delete data from its database."
The databases are empty, so there are no records yet.
Can you help me? Firebase will close my project if I don't write the rules right, the rules shouldn't be public.
I read the documentation that Firebase offers, but I don't really understand how to create my rules.
They show something like this, for authenticated users:
// Allow read/write access on all documents to any user signed in to the application
service cloud.firestore {
match /databases/{database}/documents {
match /{document=**} {
allow read, write: if request.auth != null;
}
}
}
And on the other hand they show these rules:
**// Allow read/write access to all users under any conditions
// Warning: **NEVER** use this rule set in production; it allows
// anyone to overwrite your entire database.
service cloud.firestore {
match /databases/{database}/documents {
match /{document=**} {
allow read, write: if true;
}
}
}**
I don't know which one I should use exactly, and how I should write them, so that in my React Native app users can leave feedback.
Can you help me ?
I show the code of the rules of my databases
//REALTIME DATABASE
{
"rules": {
".read": true,
".write": true
}
}
//CLOUD FIRESTORE
rules_version = '2';
service cloud.firestore {
match /databases/{database}/documents {
// This rule allows anyone with your database reference to view, edit,
// and delete all data in your Firestore database. It is useful for getting
// started, but it is configured to expire after 30 days because it
// leaves your app open to attackers. At that time, all client
// requests to your Firestore database will be denied.
//
// Make sure to write security rules for your app before that time, or else
// all client requests to your Firestore database will be denied until you Update
// your rules
match /{document=**} {
allow read, write: if request.time < timestamp.date(2020, 9, 2);
}
}
}
You can use the following rule where only authenticated users can write and read to the database.
For Cloud Firestore:
// Allow read/write access on all documents to any user signed in to the application
service cloud.firestore {
match /databases/{database}/documents {
match /{document=**} {
allow read, write: if request.auth != null;
}
}
}
For Realtime Database:
// Only authenticated users can access/write data
{
“rules”: {
“.read”: “auth != null”,
“.write”: “auth != null”
}
}
Speaking through experience, there are two main ways of securing your data:
Set a field in the document such as "userID" and only allow CRUD when the auth.uid value matches this field.
Use the collection-document-collection nature of cloud firestore and write a rule where you allow a user to CRUD all of their own collection. E.g.
match /users/{userID}{
allow read: if request.auth.uid ==userID;
allow write: if request.auth.uid == userID;
match /userDocs/{docID}{
allow read: if request.auth.uid == userID;
allow write: if request.auth.uid == userID;
}
}
Ideally you need to allow only authenticated users to access resource. From you code above
{
"rules": {
".read": true,
".write": true
}
}
The above will allow anybody to read and write to the database even to unauthenticated users.
for firestore as you can see the rules state that it should only allow full priviledge read and write to cloud firestore if only the date has not passed (2020,9,2)

You can use firebase authentication for your users then if they are authenticated they can access the database.
I'm using Firebase Firestore to collect user information in my current Android app. But I didn't quite get the Firestore rules. I write the rule like this:
rules_version = '2';
service cloud.firestore {
match /databases/{database}/documents {
match /{document=**} {
allow read, write: if request.auth != null;
}
}
}
But I want to user access the database even there's no current user because when the user sign up I'm checking the database if there's a current phone number in the database if not user can sign up this phone number. Thank you
// Allow read/write access to all users under any conditions
// Warning: **NEVER** use this rule set in production; it allows
// anyone to overwrite your entire database.
service cloud.firestore {
match /databases/{database}/documents {
match /{document=**} {
allow read, write: if true;
}
}
}
Not recommended: Read and write access to all users.
Have a look at Fix insecure rules documentation from firebase for more details.
I have a database at firebase and I would like to retrieve a particular document which I know its name (will be called documentA) and also I have a working rule at server.
How can I get a single document which fullfil the security rules? I am trying with: val docRef = db.collection("cities").document("SF").get() but I don't know how to include user auth.
Database has a structure like this
cars
|
|-documentA
|-documentB
|-documentC
Security rules:
rules_version = '2';
service cloud.firestore {
match /databases/{database}/documents {
match /cars/{carId} {
allow read, write: if request.auth.uid == resource.data.userId;
allow create: if request.auth.uid != null;
}
}
}
Firebase user authentication is included automatically for users who are signed in. Other than writing the code to signing in the user, there is no code you can write to add authentication manually. If your security rules require an authenticated user, you will have to arrange for that sign-in before the query is made.
