What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps developers and operators secure Django applications by providing concrete configuration patterns, code examples, and a checklist to prevent authentication flaws, CSRF, XSS, SQL injection, insecure file handling, weak secret management, and insecure deployment settings.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Secure Production Configuration: Guidance for DEBUG, ALLOWED_HOSTS, HSTS, secure cookies, and security headers.
- Authentication & Authorization: Custom user models, strong password hashing, session hardening, RBAC, and permission enforcement.
- Input/Output Protections: Safe ORM usage to avoid SQL injection, template escaping and XSS mitigation, CSP and other header controls.
- File Uploads, APIs & Rate Limiting: File validation and storage recommendations, API authentication strategies, throttling, and logging of security events.
- Use Case: Run a pre-deployment security audit to harden a Django project and generate a prioritized remediation plan.
