Help me open source ClubsAll - need a senior security engineer to review code (lemmy.world)

Hello everyone, We built clubsall, a frontend for federated content. Since the goal is to help build a reddit competitor, open sourcing is the logical next step.

However, without a review, I am afraid website could get hacked quickly.

Does someone with experience in scanning code for security issues or white hat hacking wants to help increase confidence so I can open source it?

Update on this request: A developer approached me and is not only helping me with review and fix security issues. We found quite concerning security issues, so I think the decision to have another person look at this was right one.

We discussed and found that we need to do following work

Redo backend/api so it is more robust, while doing that it will also become Lemmy API compatible
Fix client so it adapt to any API changes
Move from cloudflare workers to docker, so it can be self hosted
Move from D1 to postgres (D1 has 10GB limit, ClubsAll db is already 5GB), so it is scalable
Move production to a VM or k8s cluster so we can host our own DB, backend and frontend instead of CF workers

We have some work to do but will have a good product at the end of it. We will update further once we get this work done. Thanks to everyone to your thoughts and offers to help.
