Security Vulnerability Scan

Automated Secret Detection

!git grep -rn "api_key\|apikey\|api-key\|secret\|password\|passwd\|token\|bearer\|private_key\|access_key\|client_secret\|auth_token" --include="*.ts" --include="*.js" --include="*.py" --include="*.go" --include="*.rs" --include="*.java" --include="*.rb" --include="*.cs" --include="*.env*" --include="*.yml" --include="*.yaml" --include="*.json" --include="*.toml" --include="*.cfg" --include="*.ini" --include="*.conf" 2>/dev/null | grep -v node_modules | grep -v .git | grep -v vendor | grep -v "\.lock" | grep -v "test" | grep -vi "example\|placeholder\|your_\|TODO\|FIXME\|change_me" | head -30

Environment Files Check

!find . -name ".env*" -not -path "*/node_modules/*" -not -path "*/.git/*" 2>/dev/null !cat .gitignore 2>/dev/null | grep -i "env\|secret\|key\|credential" || echo "WARNING: .gitignore may not exclude secret files"

Vulnerability Checklist

Scan the codebase systematically for each vulnerability class. For every finding:

• Severity: Critical / High / Medium / Low
• File path and line number
• Vulnerability type (CWE ID if known)
• Description of the risk
• Remediation steps with code

1. Injection Flaws

• SQL Injection: String concatenation in queries instead of parameterized/prepared statements
• NoSQL Injection: Unsanitized user input in MongoDB/DynamoDB queries
• Command Injection: User input passed to exec, system, os.popen, subprocess without sanitization
• LDAP Injection: Unsanitized input in LDAP queries
• Path Traversal: User input in file paths without normalization (../../../etc/passwd)
• Template Injection: User input rendered in templates without escaping (SSTI)

2. Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)

• Unescaped user input rendered in HTML
• dangerouslySetInnerHTML / v-html / |safe with user content
• Reflected XSS via URL parameters
• Stored XSS via database content rendered without sanitization
• DOM-based XSS via document.write, innerHTML, eval

3. Authentication & Authorization

• Missing authentication on sensitive endpoints
• Broken access control (IDOR — accessing other users' resources by ID)
• Missing rate limiting on login/auth endpoints
• JWT tokens without expiry or with weak signing algorithms (HS256 with weak secret)
• Session tokens in URLs or local storage
• Missing CSRF protection on state-changing operations

4. Hardcoded Secrets

• API keys, tokens, passwords in source code
• Private keys or certificates in the repository
• Database connection strings with embedded credentials
• Secret values in configuration files that should use env vars

5. Insecure Configuration

• Debug mode enabled in production configs
• Verbose error messages exposing stack traces or internals
• Open CORS policies (Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *)
• Missing security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options)
• Default credentials not changed
• Unnecessary ports or services exposed

6. Data Exposure

• Sensitive data in logs (passwords, tokens, PII)
• PII returned in API responses without need
• Missing encryption for data at rest or in transit
• Overly permissive file/directory permissions
• Backup files or source maps exposed in production

7. Dependency Vulnerabilities

• Check for known vulnerable dependencies using:
  • npm audit / yarn audit (Node.js)
  • pip audit / safety check (Python)
  • go vuln check (Go)
  • cargo audit (Rust)
  • dotnet list package --vulnerable (.NET)

Output Format

Findings by Severity

Critical (exploit possible, immediate fix required)

High (significant risk, fix before deploy)

Medium (should be addressed in next sprint)

Low (hardening recommendations)

Security Score

Rate the overall security posture from 0 to 10 (10 = excellent, 0 = critical vulnerabilities present).

Risk Assessment

Provide a paragraph summarizing the overall security state, the most concerning patterns, and the recommended order of remediation.
