SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Provides clear, actionable best practices to secure Django applications and reduce risk from common web vulnerabilities and misconfigurations, so teams can safely deploy production services.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Production hardening: Guidance for production settings such as DEBUG=False, secure cookies, HSTS, CSP, and secret management.
  • Authentication & authorization: Recommendations for custom user models, email-based authentication, and permission classes to protect resources.
  • Injection and XSS protection: Use of Django ORM to prevent SQL injection, template escaping and filters to mitigate XSS, and CSRF token usage.
  • File upload & API safety: File type/size validation, rate limiting for APIs, and recommended security headers.
  • Use Case: Perform a security review of a Django app before launch to enforce secure settings, validate authentication flows, lock down APIs with throttling, and ensure safe file handling.

Quick Start

Run a security review checklist: set DEBUG to False, enforce secure cookies and HSTS, validate SECRET_KEY from environment variables, confirm ORM usage for queries, add file validators, and enable API throttling.

FAQPage Schema
How do I harden Django settings for production deployment?▼

To harden Django settings for production deployment, set DEBUG to False, enforce secure cookies, enable HSTS and CSP headers, and load the SECRET_KEY from environment variables rather than hardcoding it.

What's the best way to prevent SQL injection and XSS in Django?▼

Preventing SQL injection and XSS in Django requires using the Django ORM or parameterized queries for database access, and leveraging template auto-escaping along with filters to sanitize output and mitigate XSS attacks.

How do I secure authentication flows in a Django app?▼

Securing authentication in a Django app involves implementing a custom user model, configuring email-based authentication, and applying permission classes to restrict resource access based on user authorization levels.

How do I validate file uploads and add API rate limiting in Django?▼

Validating file uploads and adding API rate limiting in Django involves applying specific file type and size validators to upload handlers, and configuring throttling middleware to lock down APIs against abuse.

When do I need a Django security review before launch?▼

A Django security review is needed before launching production services to enforce secure settings, validate authentication flows, lock down APIs with throttling, and ensure safe file handling against common web vulnerabilities.
