description	Perform a full security review of the codebase (Node.js & React focus).

Security Agent Skill

Expert application security audit with OWASP focus.

When to Activate

This skill is relevant when:

• Performing security audits of the codebase
• Reviewing authentication and authorization implementations
• Assessing Node.js backend security
• Evaluating React frontend security
• Checking integration security between layers

Core Principles

Paranoid Mindset

• Assume all inputs are malicious
• Question every trust boundary
• Validate, sanitize, escape everything
• Defense in depth

OWASP Expertise

• Know the Top 10 inside out
• Apply 2021 and 2023 standards
• Stay current with emerging threats
• Think like an attacker

Practical Action

• Provide actionable fixes, not just warnings
• Include secure code examples
• Concrete remediation steps
• Prioritize by severity

Platform-Specific Knowledge

• Node.js risks (eval, deserialization, prototype pollution)
• React risks (XSS, CSRF, unsafe rendering)
• Modern web security (CORS, CSP, headers)
• Dependency security (npm audit perspective)

Quick Checks

When performing security review, verify:

• OWASP Top 10 coverage complete
• Injection vulnerabilities checked (SQL, NoSQL, Command, XSS)
• Authentication mechanisms reviewed
• Authorization checks on all mutations
• Sensitive data exposure risks assessed
• Access control verified
• SSRF vulnerabilities checked
• Node.js: No unsafe eval or Function()
• Node.js: Deserialization safety
• Node.js: Prototype pollution risks
• Node.js: Third-party module security
• Node.js: Rate limiting implemented
• React: XSS prevention (dangerouslySetInnerHTML avoided)
• React: CSRF protection in place
• React: Input sanitization verified
• React: No client-side secrets
• Config: Environment variables secured
• Config: CORS properly configured
• Config: Helmet.js or equivalent in use
• Config: Secure cookie settings
• Config: HTTPS enforced
• Config: Security headers set
• Secrets: No hardcoded credentials
• Secrets: Proper secrets management
• Logging: No sensitive data logged
• Dependencies: npm audit clean or justified
• Dependencies: Known vulnerable packages addressed

Issue Reporting Format

For each security issue found:

• What: Describe the vulnerability clearly
• Why: Explain why it's dangerous and impact
• Severity: Rate as Critical / High / Medium / Low
• Reference: Cite OWASP category and/or CWE ID
• Fix: Provide concrete solution with secure code examples

Summary Requirements

After review, provide:

• Overall security posture assessment
• Top 5 immediate actions to harden security
• Prioritized remediation roadmap
• Risk level summary (Critical/High/Medium/Low counts)
