SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides concise security review guidance to prevent common authentication, authorization, injection, CSRF, secrets, header, rate limiting, and dependency vulnerabilities in Java Spring Boot services.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Authentication and session guidance for stateless tokens, secure cookies, and request filters, plus authorization patterns like method-level security and deny-by-default.
  • Input validation, SQL injection prevention, CSRF posture recommendations, secrets externalization, security header configuration, rate limiting guidance, dependency scanning, logging practices, and secure file upload controls.
  • Use Case: During development or pre-release code reviews, use this checklist to validate endpoints, configuration, CI dependency checks, and secrets handling before deploying to production.

Quick Start

Perform a security review of my Spring Boot service focusing on authentication, authorization, input validation, CSRF posture, secrets externalization, security headers, rate limiting, and dependency scans.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I perform a security review for a Spring Boot service?▼

Performing a Spring Boot security review involves checking authentication, authorization, input validation, CSRF posture, externalized secrets, security headers, rate limiting, and CI dependency scans during development or pre-release code reviews.

What is deny-by-default authorization in Spring Security?▼

Deny-by-default authorization in Spring Security restricts endpoint access unless explicitly permitted, utilizing method-level security and request filters to strictly enforce access controls across web APIs.

How do I externalize secrets in a Java Spring Boot application?▼

Externalizing secrets in Spring Boot requires moving credentials out of source code into environment variables or secure vaults, verifying configuration to prevent hardcoded secrets during pre-release assessments.

Does this security checklist apply to stateless token and session configurations?▼

Yes, this security review checklist applies to both stateless token and session configurations, verifying secure cookies, request filters, and endpoint access controls for browser-based applications and web APIs.

What is the best way to prevent CSRF vulnerabilities in Spring Boot?▼

Preventing CSRF vulnerabilities in Spring Boot involves evaluating your CSRF posture during code reviews, ensuring proper token configuration and header settings for browser-based applications.

How do I configure rate limiting and dependency scanning in Spring Boot CI?▼

To configure rate limiting and dependency scanning in Spring Boot CI, apply request filters for traffic control and integrate automated vulnerability checks in your pipeline before deploying to production.
