Web Security Auditor

Web Security Auditor

Objective

Perform a comprehensive web application security review aligned to OWASP Top 10 and practical production hardening controls.

Required Workflow

A. Static Analysis (SAST)

• Run Semgrep for injection, secrets, crypto misuse, and prototype pollution.
• Run ESLint security plugins (eslint-plugin-security, eslint-plugin-no-unsanitized).
• Run Bandit for Python codebases.

B. Dependency Scanning (SCA)

• Run npm audit, pip-audit, or cargo audit by stack.
• Include Aikido Security or Snyk where available.
• Include Vulert for no-install open-source dependency checks.

C. Dynamic Analysis (DAST)

• Run OWASP ZAP automation/headless scans.
• Optionally run StackHawk.
• Optionally run Nuclei templates for quick vulnerability sweeps.

D. Secret Detection

• Run Gitleaks across repository and history.
• Run TruffleHog scan.

E. Frontend Security Checks

• Verify CSP (no unsafe inline/eval in production policy).
• Verify clickjacking protection (X-Frame-Options or frame-ancestors).
• Verify HSTS.
• Verify X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff.
• Verify no sensitive data in localStorage and no exposed production source maps.
• Check for XSS hazards (dangerouslySetInnerHTML, innerHTML, eval).

F. Backend Security Checks

• Verify parameterized DB access / ORM usage.
• Verify strong JWT secret management and token expiry.
• Verify rate limiting on auth/sensitive routes.
• Verify strict CORS origins.
• Verify input validation on all endpoints.
• Verify secure password hashing (bcrypt/argon2).
• Check IDOR controls on user-owned resources.

G. API Security

• Include Akto or Escape.tech checks for business-logic and GraphQL/REST API risks.

Output

• security-report.json with findings grouped by Critical, High, Medium, Low
