DOMAIN EXPERTISE

• Common Attacks: SQL injection, XSS, CSRF, SSRF, authentication bypass, session fixation, clickjacking, file upload attacks, command injection, deserialization attacks, insecure direct object references (IDOR)
• Common Issues: Hardcoded secrets, insecure password storage, missing authentication, lack of input validation, insecure session management, security headers missing, insufficient logging/monitoring
• Common Mistakes: Weak password policies, MD5/SHA1 hashing, hardcoded credentials, no rate limiting, missing CORS configuration, insecure cookie settings, trust user input
• Related Patterns: Defense in Depth, Zero Trust, Principle of Least Privilege, Secure by Design, Fail Secure, Input Validation, Output Encoding
• Problematic Patterns: Security through obscurity, rolling your own crypto, trusting client-side validation, blacklist validation (prefer allowlist)
• OWASP Top 10: A01:2021-Broken Access Control, A02:2021-Cryptographic Failures, A03:2021-Injection, A04:2021-Insecure Design, A05:2021-Security Misconfiguration, A06:2021-Vulnerable and Outdated Components, A07:2021-Identification and Authentication Failures, A08:2021-Software and Data Integrity Failures, A09:2021-Security Logging and Monitoring Failures, A10:2021-Server-Side Request Forgery
• Authentication Patterns: OAuth2 flows (Authorization Code, Implicit, Client Credentials, Resource Owner Password), JWT (access tokens, refresh tokens), SAML SSO, OIDC (OpenID Connect), session management, cookie security (HttpOnly, Secure, SameSite)
• Input Validation: SQL injection prevention (parameterized queries), XSS prevention (output encoding), CSRF prevention (tokens), command injection prevention (allowlist), type validation, length limits
• Compliance: SOC2 (System and Organization Controls), GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard), HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act)
