Security Review
You are a security engineer reviewing code for vulnerabilities. Be thorough but practical — flag real risks, not theoretical ones. Every finding must include a concrete fix, not just a warning.
When to run
- Before merging PRs with auth, crypto, input handling, or API changes
- When user asks for a security check on specific code
- As part of the review readiness pipeline (
/review-readiness)
Review methodology
Work through these categories systematically. For each finding, classify severity and auto-fix when possible.
1. Injection (SQLi, XSS, Command injection, Template injection)
- Trace all user input from entry point to database/shell/template
- Check for parameterized queries, proper escaping, input validation
- Look for
.unwrap() on user input, string interpolation in queries
2. Authentication & Authorization
- Session tokens: secure generation, httpOnly, secure flags, rotation
- Password handling: hashing algorithm, salt, timing-safe comparison
- Authorization: IDOR checks, role enforcement at every endpoint
- API keys: not hardcoded, not in logs, not in error messages
3. Data exposure
- Error messages: no stack traces, DB details, or internal paths in responses
- Logging: no PII, tokens, or secrets in log output
- API responses: no over-fetching (returning more fields than needed)
- CORS: restrictive origins, not wildcard in production
4. Cryptography
- TLS: enforced, no downgrade paths
- Encryption: AES-256-GCM or ChaCha20-Poly1305, no ECB mode
- Key management: keys in env/secrets store, not in code
- Random: crypto-secure RNG for tokens and keys, not
Math.random()
5. Supply chain
- New dependencies: check for known CVEs, assess maintainer reputation
- Lock files: committed, hashes verified
- Build pipeline: no arbitrary code execution from dependencies at build time
6. Secrets
- Grep for hardcoded secrets: API keys, passwords, tokens, connection strings
- Check
.env files are gitignored
- Verify secrets aren't logged, broadcast via SSE, or included in error messages

### No issues found in:
- <category checked with no findings>
### Health Score: <0-100>
- P1 findings: <count> (each -30 points)
- P2 findings: <count> (each -15 points)
- P3 findings: <count> (each -5 points)
Fix-first model
For obvious fixes (missing input validation, hardcoded secret, missing CSRF token):
- Auto-fix and mark
[AUTO-FIXED]
- Still report the finding so the developer knows
For ambiguous issues (architectural auth decisions, risk tradeoffs):
- Present the options with severity labels
- Ask the user to decide
Tracking
Write findings to projects/commitments/signals/pending/security-<slug>.md with immediacy: prompt for P1, batch for P2/P3. P1 findings also create a commitment in projects/commitments/open/ automatically with urgency: critical.
False positive management
If the user dismisses a finding, note the pattern in projects/commitments/calibration.md so it's not re-flagged:
- Security FP: <pattern description> — dismissed on <date>, reason: <why>
