Through that API, the frontend is handed a high-privilege API key for Box. Not only was that a huge blunder on the backend, but it reveals what passes for architecture these days. Should our application's backend speak to the super sensitive file store? No, we should hand over the keys to that to the React app, because it literally did not occur to them that there's anything that physically could be driven by the frontend that shouldn't be.
My apologies to the frontend engineers out there who know what they're doing.
