Key Takeaways
- A CodeCanyon marketplace security hardening checklist is for self-hosted panels you buy there — sms-gateway.app is not a CodeCanyon listing.
- Lock admin, put secrets in env, patch PHP/host, disable debug, and never chase nulled/piracy downloads.
- Marketplace license fees do not include carrier SMS credit or replace devices + volume pricing on a maintained gateway.
- Link the CodeCanyon buyer guide; this page is the security gate list.
- OTP and marketing still need isolation and STOP on whatever stack you run.
- Prefer maintained control planes when you cannot staff host hardening.
Hardening a purchase — not our SKU
Security hardening checklist for CodeCanyon marketplace SMS gateway panels is a go/no-go list for self-hosted ZIP installs. Clarifier: CodeCanyon buyer guide — sms-gateway.app is not a CodeCanyon listing. Maintained path: Android SMS gateway.
Buying a panel does not buy you carrier SMS — or a pass on patching PHP.
Security gate matrix
| Gate | Pass when | Fail means |
|---|---|---|
| License | Licensed build; update channel known | Nulled / abandoned risk |
| Admin | Strong auth, 2FA if available, locked paths | Public admin = instant takeover |
| Secrets | Keys in env / vault, not web root | Git and backup leaks |
| Host | TLS, firewall, patched PHP/OS | CVE drive-bys |
| Debug | APP_DEBUG off in production | Stack traces + keys |
What this checklist is not
Not an endorsement of any marketplace seller. Not piracy SEO. Not a substitute for device setup on a maintained Android gateway. Live API docs for our product: Developer Center.
Cost reality
Marketplace license ≠ airtime. On our product you bring the Android and operator SMS credit; we meter devices and send volume. Free: 1 device / 300 SMS lifetime / 300 contacts. See device and SMS volume pricing.
Go / no-go
- Explicit: not our CodeCanyon SKU.
- Licensed software only.
- Admin locked; debug off.
- Secrets out of the repo.
- Host patched; TLS on.
- OTP isolated; STOP for promo.
- No Unlimited SMS titles.
- Exit plan if author abandons updates.
