# Obsidian Security Basics
## Overview
Security practices for Obsidian plugin development. Plugins run with full vault filesystem access and can make arbitrary network requests inside Electron. Responsible development requires protecting credentials, sanitizing external data, validating URI handlers, minimizing permissions, and following Obsidian's plugin guidelines to avoid community submission rejection.
## Prerequisites
- Obsidian plugin development environment
- Understanding that `.obsidian/plugins/<id>/data.json` is synced by cloud services
- Awareness of [Obsidian Plugin Guidelines](https://docs.obsidian.md/Plugins/Releasing/Plugin+guidelines)
## Instructions
### Step 1: Credential Storage — Never in data.json
