-# Broken XSJS authentication
+# Authentication not enforced in HANA XS application
 
-If you choose to use server-side JavaScript to write your application code, you need to bear in mind the potential for (and risk of) attack against authentication infrastructure. Leaks or flaws in the authentication or session management functions allow attackers to impersonate users and gain access to unauthorized systems and data.
+This HANA XS application does not enforce authentication on the requests it handles.
+
+## Overview
+
+SAP HANA XS applications are called via HTTP requests to process a connected HANA database, and this makes it critical to authenticate the sender of the request. Failing to do so allows attackers to impersonate users and gain access to underlying systems and data.
 
 ## Recommendation
 
-Use the built-in SAP HANA XS authentication mechanism and session management (cookies). 
-- In `XS Advanced` authentication is enabled by default, the `authenticationMethod` property indicates which authentication will be applied. If set to `none` than all routes are not protected. 
-- In `XS Classic` use the `authentication` keyword in the application's `.xsaccess` file to enable authentication and set it according to the method you want implement (`LogonTicket`, `Form`, or `Basic`) to ensure that all objects in the application path are available only to authenticated users.
+Use the built-in SAP HANA XS authentication mechanism and session management (cookies).
+- If `XS Advanced` is used, authentication **is enabled by default**, and the `authenticationMethod` property indicates which authentication will be applied. However, avoid setting the property to something else than `none`, as doing so turns off all authentication on all routes.
+- If `XS Classic` is used, authentication is **not enabled by default**, so the `authentication` property in the application's `.xsaccess` file should be set to enable authentication. Set the value of the property according to the method you want to implement (`LogonTicket`, `Form`, or `Basic`).
 
 ## Example
 
-The following `xs-app.json` fragment shows disabled XSJS authentication.
+The fragment from an `xs-app.json` file shows the application in question having its authentication explicitly disabled.
 
 ```json
 {
   "welcomeFile": "index.html",
   "authenticationMethod": "none",
   ...
-}  
+}
 ```
