How safe are angular route guards? [duplicate]

Question

I'm making an online store, and there's an administration part from where you can track orders and modify them.

It is protected by authentication, which is done on a node server, passwords is hashed into DB etc. but I'm worried about the route guard still being bypassed.

Answer 1

You should be worried.

Route guards provide exactly zero security, like anything else that you implement on the client side. Things you implement on the client side can only be for the users convenience, but not for security.

You need to enforce security on the server side.
