To prevent SQL injection and XSS vulnerabilities, you must implement secure coding practices for handling user input, such as parameterized queries and output encoding. This Skill provides specific prevention techniques and tool recommendations for mitigating these OWASP Top 10 risks.

The OWASP Top 10 security risks to check before deploying an API include injection, broken authentication, and sensitive data exposure. This Skill details these common security flaws and provides actionable advice to ensure robust security measures are in place for your API endpoints.

To secure user authentication and prevent sensitive data exposure in software development, review the specific prevention strategies and best practices provided by this Skill. It covers mitigating risks associated with broken authentication and improper data handling.

Security scanning tools for identifying hardcoded secrets vary by programming language, and this Skill lists recommendations tailored to specific environments. It provides tooling guidance to help you automatically detect common security flaws like hardcoded credentials during code review.

You need to review secure coding patterns when developing features that handle user input, authentication, API endpoints, or sensitive data. Reviewing these patterns before deployment helps identify and prevent common security vulnerabilities, ensuring the integrity and safety of your application.
