Security Review Checklist

Use this checklist when reviewing code for security issues.

Input Validation

• Validate all user input at the API boundary
• Sanitize HTML output to prevent XSS
• Use parameterized queries to prevent SQL injection
• Validate file upload types and sizes

Authentication

• Store passwords with bcrypt (cost factor 12+)
• Use short-lived JWTs for API authentication
• Implement rate limiting on login endpoints
• Support multi-factor authentication

Secrets Management

• Never commit secrets to version control
• Use environment variables or a secrets manager
• Rotate keys regularly
• Audit access to production credentials

Common Vulnerabilities

Review OWASP Top 10 before each release. Pay special attention to injection, broken authentication, and sensitive data exposure.
