SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires passlib, slowapi.

What problem does it solve?

Identifying security vulnerabilities in code is a specialized and critical task that, if missed, can lead to severe breaches and data loss. Manual security reviews are often incomplete and time-consuming. This Skill provides comprehensive guidance for secure code review.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • OWASP Top 10 Checklist: Systematically review code against the latest OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities (Injection, Broken Access Control, Cryptographic Failures, etc.).
  • Secure Coding Practices: Implement best practices for authentication, authorization, input validation, and output encoding.
  • Dependency Scanning: Utilize tools like pip-audit and npm audit to identify vulnerable third-party components.
  • Use Case: You're developing a new user authentication module and need to ensure it's secure. Use this Skill to review the code against OWASP Top 10, check password hashing, session management, and input validation, preventing common security flaws before deployment.

Quick Start

Review my Python authentication code for security issues, focusing on OWASP Top 10.

FAQPage Schema
How do I identify security vulnerabilities in my code before deployment?

Security code reviews systematically scan code for vulnerabilities across authentication, authorization, input validation, and cryptography. This Skill applies OWASP Top 10 checks and secure coding practices to detect and remediate flaws in backend services before they reach production.

What does the OWASP Top 10 cover and why does it matter for code review?

The OWASP Top 10 ranks the most critical web application security risks, including injection attacks, broken access control, and cryptographic failures. Reviewing code against these categories ensures you address the highest-impact vulnerability classes systematically.

Can I automate security reviews for authentication and authorization code?

Yes. This Skill conducts comprehensive security reviews focused on authentication mechanisms, session management, password hashing, and access control logic. It identifies insecure patterns and proposes secure alternatives to prevent broken authentication and authorization vulnerabilities.

How do I check for vulnerable dependencies in my Python project?

Dependency scanning tools like pip-audit identify vulnerable third-party components in your codebase. This Skill integrates dependency analysis into the security review workflow to catch known vulnerabilities before they become exploitable in production.

What's the best way to prioritize security findings when reviewing code?

Security code reviews prioritize findings by risk level, mapping each vulnerability to its potential impact and OWASP category. This generates actionable remediation guidance so you address the most critical issues first across development and staging environments.

Does this work for both development and production audit workflows?

Yes. This Skill applies to backend services and codebases across development, staging, and audit workflows. It provides static analysis and secure configuration verification suitable for pre-deployment reviews and post-deployment security audits.
