## What To Check

### 1. Credentials

```bash
# Hardcoded secrets?
grep -rn "sk-\|api_key\|password\|secret" . --include="*.js"
grep -rn "Bearer\|Token" . --include="*.js"
```

| Check | Issue | Fix |
|-------|-------|-----|
| Hardcoded API key | HIGH | Use env var |
| Password in code | HIGH | Use env |

// Never trust user input
req.params.id
req.body.data
query.string
```

| Check | Issue | Fix |
|-------|-------|-----|
| SQL from input | HIGH | Parameterize |
| Eval input | HIGH | Remove eval |
| Shell from input | HIGH | No shell |
| File from input | HIGH | Validate path |

### 3. Auth

```javascript
// Check auth exists
function protected() {
  if (!req.user) return error
  // Good
}
```

| Check | Issue | Fix |
|-------|-------|-----|
| No auth check | HIGH | Add auth |
| Auth bypassed | HIGH | Fix |
| Weak auth | MEDIUM | Strengthen |

### 4. Network
