testing/security-testing

Security testing for web applications focuses on identifying and mitigating common threats like SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS) by providing test cases and best practices for major risks such as broken authentication and sensitive data exposure.

You can execute the security testing suite by running `npm test -- tests/security/` to perform automated vulnerability scanning and SAST linting checks before deploying your new web application features.

Yes, this vulnerability scanning approach integrates with tools like `npm audit` and SAST linters to facilitate automated security audits and continuously check for misconfigurations and known vulnerabilities in your codebase.

The best way to automate security audits is to integrate SAST linters and vulnerability scanning tools into your pipeline, enabling automated checks for sensitive data exposure, access control flaws, and security misconfigurations.

You can check for broken authentication and access control flaws by applying targeted security testing patterns that provide specific code examples and test cases designed to validate authentication mechanisms and enforce proper access restrictions.
