SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill is a defensive audit playbook. It helps you identify security risks early, produce a clear findings report (severity + mitigations), and add tests to prevent regressions while remaining within approved security processes. It does not teach exploitation and emphasizes safe, compliant practices.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Build a quick system map (30–60 minutes) and deliver a concise "security context" note.
  • Apply OWASP Top 10 lens to map features and entry points to risk categories and ensure every entry point has an OWASP pass.
  • Perform authorization reviews (authz correctness) with checks for server-side enforcement, tenant/user scoping, and strong admin protection; include negative tests.
  • Harden input validation and injection defenses across request boundaries, using allowlists, length bounds, and safe data handling; include boundary and invalid-payload tests.
  • Conduct SSRF defensive reviews for URL fetches, redirects, and external requests with allowlists, timeouts, and safe parsing.
  • Perform deserialization defensive reviews, avoid native Java serialization for untrusted data, and prefer strict schemas and explicit subtype allowlists.
  • Enforce secrets hygiene and governance to prevent secrets in repos/logs, and add CI secret scanning and dependency checks.
  • Do a quick dependency/supply-chain pass focusing on pinning versions and removing unused libraries.

Quick Start

Run the defensive Java security audit workflow against your backend service to generate a findings report with mitigations and tests.

Frequently Asked Questions about java-security-audit

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I perform a security audit on a Java backend?▼

A Java security audit systematically evaluates backend services to identify risks and generate a findings report with mitigations. It applies OWASP mapping, input validation checks, and authz reviews to ensure defensive compliance.

How do I check for SSRF and deserialization vulnerabilities in Java?▼

SSRF and deserialization reviews defensively check URL fetches and untrusted data parsing in Java. Mitigations involve applying allowlists, timeouts, safe parsing, and avoiding native serialization by preferring strict schemas.

How do I review authorization logic in Java backend services?▼

Authorization reviews verify server-side enforcement, tenant and user scoping, and admin protection in Java backends. Correct authz checks require adding negative tests to confirm access controls prevent regressions.

What is the best way to map OWASP Top 10 risks to Java entry points?▼

Mapping OWASP Top 10 risks involves building a system map to trace Java entry points to risk categories. This ensures every request boundary receives an OWASP pass for input validation and injection defenses.

How do I enforce secrets hygiene and dependency safety in Java applications?▼

Secrets hygiene prevents credentials from leaking in repos and logs by adding CI secret scanning. Dependency safety requires pinning library versions and removing unused components to mitigate supply-chain risks.

Can I use this defensive audit workflow for post-incident remediation?▼

The defensive audit workflow supports post-incident reviews and pen-test remediation by generating concise security context notes. It identifies lingering risks and adds tests to validate applied mitigations safely.
