SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps reviewers identify weaknesses in database security controls, including credential handling, privilege boundaries, transport protection, network exposure, and host hardening.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Targeted Security Review: Inspect code, configuration, infrastructure, tests, and workflows for database-related risks.
  • OWASP-Aligned Analysis: Evaluate least privilege, secure connectivity, segmentation, backup protection, and dangerous database features against OWASP guidance.
  • Practical Review Output: Produce concrete findings, review gaps, and passed checks with evidence from the repository.
  • Use Case: Use this Skill when reviewing an application that connects to a SQL database, manages credentials, or deploys database infrastructure in a production environment.

Quick Start

Ask this skill to review the database authentication, connection security, and privilege model for the component or files you want assessed.

FAQPage Schema
How do I review database security controls for credential handling and network isolation?

Database security review involves inspecting code, configuration, infrastructure, and workflows for credential handling, least privilege, TLS, network isolation, and host hardening. It produces evidence-based findings with confirmed issues, review gaps, and passed checks aligned to OWASP database security guidance.

What does OWASP database security guidance cover for least privilege and transport protection?

OWASP database security guidance covers least privilege boundaries, secure TLS connectivity, network segmentation, backup protection, and dangerous database features. It requires evidence-based findings to confirm whether these operational controls are properly implemented.

How do I check my SQL database connection security and privilege model?

Check SQL database connection security by reviewing credential handling, TLS transport protection, and least privilege access controls. The review targets code, configuration, and infrastructure to produce concrete findings, review gaps, and passed checks with evidence.

Can I use this approach to review database infrastructure and host hardening in production?

Yes, you can review database infrastructure and host hardening in production environments. The review assesses network exposure, backup protection, and dangerous database features against OWASP guidance, producing evidence-based findings from the repository.

What's the best way to find database security gaps in configuration and operational controls?

The best way to find database security gaps is to inspect code, configuration, infrastructure, tests, and workflows for credential handling, privilege boundaries, TLS transport protection, network exposure, and host hardening, generating evidence-based findings aligned to OWASP guidance.
