SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill provides actionable guidelines and configuration patterns to prevent common web security issues in Django applications, including insecure production settings, authentication and authorization flaws, CSRF and XSS vulnerabilities, SQL injection risks, unsafe file uploads, and poor secret management.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Production security settings: enforce DEBUG=false, ALLOWED_HOSTS, HSTS, secure cookies, and recommended security headers.
  • Authentication & authorization: custom user models, strong password hashing, session hardening, permissions, and role-based access controls.
  • Input and data protection: safe ORM usage to avoid SQL injection, template escaping and safe string handling to mitigate XSS, CSRF token usage for forms and AJAX.
  • File upload & API protections: file type and size validation, separate media hosting, rate limiting, API authentication, and security event logging.
  • Use Case: audit a Django project before deployment to produce a prioritized remediation checklist covering settings, auth, API, file uploads, and headers.

Quick Start

Use the django-security skill to audit my Django project's settings, authentication, CSRF, XSS, and deployment configuration and produce a prioritized remediation checklist.

How do I audit a Django project for authentication and CSRF vulnerabilities?

To audit a Django project for authentication and CSRF vulnerabilities, validate custom user models, verify strong password hashing, check session hardening configurations, and ensure proper CSRF token usage for forms and AJAX.

Does this Django security approach handle file upload validation and rate limiting?

Yes, this Django security approach handles file upload validation and rate limiting by enforcing file type and size validation, recommending separate media hosting, and configuring API rate limiting.

Can I use these guidelines to manage environment secrets and security event logging?

Yes, you can use these guidelines to manage environment secrets and security event logging, applying configuration patterns that secure sensitive data and track security events during code review and production deployments.
