Logging Failures

You can identify insufficient logging by scanning for missing audit trails on critical security events like authentication failures. This Skill detects CWE-778 by highlighting where logging statements are absent in authorization and authentication handlers across multiple languages.

To prevent secrets exposure in logs, you must detect and redact sensitive information like passwords and tokens. This Skill identifies CWE-532 instances by finding code patterns that output sensitive data to log files, providing secure coding practices for redaction.

Yes, this Skill aligns with OWASP A09 by mitigating security risks associated with logging failures. It ensures your application properly records security events by identifying log tampering weaknesses and verifying that security-relevant events trigger appropriate alerts.

You can use this Skill during a whitebox penetration test to find missing logging statements. It provides detection patterns to locate where authentication is handled and highlights missing audit trail entries, guiding developers to add the necessary logging.

Standard application logs are vulnerable to log tampering and insufficient logging of critical events. This Skill helps identify these weaknesses by detecting potential code paths that allow attackers to alter logs and finding missing security event triggers.
