Authentication and authorization audits in Spring Boot identify weak token handling, misconfigured access controls, and missing security headers. This Skill analyzes your app to surface vulnerabilities in session management, permission enforcement, and credential storage, then produces a remediation checklist for development, testing, and production environments.

CSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery) exploits trust in authenticated sessions by forcing unintended actions. Spring Boot's CSRF protection validates request tokens. This Skill reviews your CSRF posture, checks token configuration, and recommends fixes to ensure stateless sessions and proper header validation.

Secure secret management in Spring Boot requires externalized configuration, encrypted storage, and restricted access. This Skill identifies hardcoded credentials, validates externalized secret practices, and recommends patterns for production deployments that comply with CI pipeline security requirements.

Yes. Dependency security checks scan for known vulnerabilities in Spring Boot libraries and transitive dependencies. This Skill analyzes your dependency tree, flags vulnerable versions, and recommends updates to reduce attack surface in development and production.

Security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security protect against injection, clickjacking, and protocol downgrades. This Skill audits your header configuration, identifies gaps, and provides implementation steps for Spring Boot apps.

Input validation through bean validation and parameterized queries prevents SQL injection, XSS, and command injection. This Skill reviews your validation strategy, checks for unsafe patterns, and recommends Spring Boot–native approaches for secure data handling.
