You can likely encrypt the tokens symmetrically by a key on the server (can also have that key be stored in a secret manager and retrieved for the purposes of the encryption/decryption only); obv you have to make sure the key doesn't leak but it's significantly better than storing this type of data unencrypted in DB.

Interesting point on existing providers not encrypting user tokens in the DB by default tho - wouldn't expect that hmmm

Hello!

There is a backend API (that the web UI and CLI connect to) but it's not yet publicly documented. We've wanted to do that for a while now but have just been swamped with requests for features honestly — It's just a matter of time :)

Would love to keep you updated with the progress of that over at our Slack community!

Hey there!

Not sure what you mean by "lack of an API" here as well as in other parts of this thread where you allude to the CLI connecting directly to MongoDB (it would be a terrible design choice if that was the case). Infisical does have a backend API with endpoint protection that the CLI pulls secrets from (you can inspect it yourself at the repo) — It just isn't publicly documented for folks to write their own clients for (we have this on our roadmap so do look out for it).

As mentioned though, Infisical is still new and in public alpha. We've put a lot of thought into security including our choice of cryptography and end-to-end encryption; there are certainly areas that can be fortified and those will be addressed. Check in on us a few months from now and we'll have something pretty compelling :)
