SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Help teams eliminate common security misconfigurations and vulnerabilities in Java Spring Boot applications by providing actionable best practices for authentication, authorization, input validation, secrets handling, headers, rate limiting, and dependency security.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Authentication & Authorization Guidance: Patterns for stateless JWTs, session hardening, method-level guards, and role-based access to reduce unauthorized access.
  • Input Validation & Injection Prevention: Recommendations for Bean Validation, parameterized queries, and sanitization to prevent SQL injection and unsafe inputs.
  • Operational Security: Advice for CSRF posture, secure headers, CORS, rate limiting, secrets externalization, dependency CVE scanning, and logging practices for production readiness.
  • Use Case: Run this skill when adding auth to an API, reviewing endpoints for privilege escalation, configuring secrets with Vault or env vars, or hardening a service before release.

Quick Start

Use the springboot-security skill to review and harden a Spring Boot application's authentication, authorization, validation, and secrets handling.

Frequently Asked Questions about springboot-security

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I configure JWT validation and authorization for a Spring Boot REST API?

To configure JWT validation and authorization in a Spring Boot REST API, apply stateless JWT patterns, method-level security guards, and role-based access controls to restrict unauthorized access to endpoints.

What's the best way to prevent SQL injection and validate input in Spring Boot applications?

Preventing SQL injection and unsafe inputs in Spring Boot applications requires applying Bean Validation for input sanitization and using parameterized queries to ensure all incoming data is safely handled.

How do I externalize secrets and manage environment variables in Spring Boot microservices?

Externalizing secrets in Spring Boot microservices involves configuring environment variables or integrating a secrets management tool like Vault to securely handle credentials outside the application codebase.

Does this approach handle CSRF protection, CORS configuration, and rate limiting for Spring Boot services?

Yes, hardening Spring Boot services covers CSRF posture adjustments, secure CORS configuration, and rate limiting implementation to protect endpoints against common web threats and abusive traffic.

How do I scan Spring Boot dependencies for known CVEs before a production release?

Scanning Spring Boot dependencies for known CVEs before production release requires integrating CI checks that automatically detect vulnerable libraries and report security vulnerabilities during the build process.

When should I review Spring Boot endpoints for privilege escalation vulnerabilities?

Review Spring Boot endpoints for privilege escalation vulnerabilities when adding authentication to an API or hardening a service before release, ensuring method-level guards and proper role-based access are enforced.
