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.
