security-testing

To review code for OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, map vulnerability classes like broken access control and injection to practical prevention checks. This ensures input validation, parameterized queries, and secrets handling are covered before deployment.

Create a security testing strategy by aligning tests across the testing pyramid—unit, integration, and E2E. This approach designs security tests that match risk and effort, ensuring appropriate coverage for different vulnerability classes.

A secure code review checklist for API endpoints should include authorization logic verification, input boundary validation, logging safety checks, rate limiting, and audit logging to ensure defense-in-depth and fail-secure principles are applied.

Prevent common application vulnerabilities like SSRF and injection early by applying least-privilege principles and concrete validation patterns during the coding phase, turning security concerns into testable prevention strategies.

Defense-in-depth and fail-secure principles are needed when auditing code for security issues and designing API security behaviors, ensuring systems handle failures securely without exposing sensitive data or granting unintended access.
