What problem does it solve?
Building applications with authentication, user input handling, API endpoints, payments, or sensitive data often introduces hidden security vulnerabilities that can lead to data breaches, unauthorized access, or financial loss if caught late in the development cycle.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Comprehensive Security Checklist: Covers 10 core security domains including secrets management, input validation, SQL injection prevention, authentication/authorization, XSS/CSRF protection, rate limiting, sensitive data exposure, Solana blockchain security, and dependency security.
- Pre-Deployment Validation: Includes a full pre-deployment checklist and automated security test examples to ensure all security controls are in place before shipping to production.
- Use Case: When building a new user-facing API that handles payment information, this skill ensures you never hardcode secrets, validate all user input, use parameterized queries, and implement proper rate limiting to block abuse.
Quick Start
Use the security-review skill to audit the new user authentication endpoint implementation for all common security vulnerabilities before merging the code.
