Reviewing code for injection flaws and XSS vulnerabilities requires enforcing strict input validation with allowlists, parameterized queries for database access, and contextual output encoding to prevent malicious script execution and unauthorized data exposure.

Preventing CSRF and authorization gaps in API handlers involves implementing least-privilege access controls, applying CSRF defense tokens, and enforcing strict input validation to ensure only authenticated users can access sensitive endpoints and modify state.

A security review identifies sensitive data leaks by auditing application logging logic against strict rules designed to prevent PII and secret leakage, ensuring that authentication tokens, personal information, and credentials are never written to operational logs.

Yes, you can apply security review to infrastructure decisions and service implementations by enforcing zero-trust operational guardrails, verifying secure upload practices, and checking header configurations across web and service layers to harden production systems.

Aligning an application security audit with the OWASP Top 10 involves reviewing changed endpoints and data flows to produce a prioritized list of vulnerabilities and fixes, targeting injection flaws, authorization gaps, XSS, CSRF, and sensitive data exposure.

API authorization gaps persist after input validation when least-privilege checks are not enforced at the endpoint level, meaning every data access request must independently verify user permissions rather than relying solely on sanitized inputs.
