Security Review Skill
This skill ensures all code follows security best practices and identifies potential vulnerabilities.
When to Use
Implementing authentication or authorization
Handling user input or file uploads
Creating new API endpoints
Working with secrets or credentials
Implementing payment features
Storing or transmitting sensitive data
Integrating third-party APIs
Security Checklist
1. Secrets Management
❌ NEVER Do This
const leakedToken = "[redacted API key]" // Hardcoded secret
const dbCredential = "[redacted password]" // In source code
✅ ALWAYS Do This
const apiKey = process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY
const dbUrl = process.env.DATABASE_URL
// Verify secrets exist
if (!apiKey) {
throw new Error('OPENAI_API_KEY not configured')
}
Verification Steps
No secrets in git history
Production secrets in hosting platform (Vercel, Railway)
2. Input Validation
Always Validate User Input import { z } from 'zod'
// Define validation schema
const CreateUserSchema = z.object({
email: z.string().email(),
name: z.string().min(1).max(100),
age: z.number().int().min(0).max(150)
})
// Validate before processing
export async function createUser(input: unknown) {
try {
const validated = CreateUserSchema.parse(input)
return await db.users.create(validated)
} catch (error) {
if (error instanceof z.ZodError) {
return { success: false, errors: error.errors }
}
throw error
}
}
File Upload Validation function validateFileUpload(file: File) {
// Size check (5MB max)
const maxSize = 5 * 1024 * 1024
if (file.size > maxSize) {
throw new Error('File too large (max 5MB)')
}
// Type check
const allowedTypes = ['image/jpeg', 'image/png', 'image/gif']
if (!allowedTypes.includes(file.type)) {
throw new Error('Invalid file type')
}
// Extension check
const allowedExtensions = ['.jpg', '.jpeg', '.png', '.gif']
const extension = file.name.toLowerCase().match(/\.[^.]+$/)?.[0]
if (!extension || !allowedExtensions.includes(extension)) {
throw new Error('Invalid file extension')
}
return true
}
Verification Steps
3. SQL Injection Prevention
❌ NEVER Concatenate SQL // DANGEROUS - SQL Injection vulnerability
const query = `SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = '${userEmail}'`
await db.query(query)
✅ ALWAYS Use Parameterized Queries // Safe - parameterized query
const { data } = await supabase
.from('users')
.select('*')
.eq('email', userEmail)
// Or with raw SQL
await db.query(
'SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = $1',
[userEmail]
)
Verification Steps
4. Authentication & Authorization
JWT Token Handling // ❌ WRONG: localStorage (vulnerable to XSS)
localStorage.setItem('token', token)
// ✅ CORRECT: httpOnly cookies
res.setHeader('Set-Cookie',
`token=${token}; HttpOnly; Secure; SameSite=Strict; Max-Age=3600`)
Authorization Checks export async function deleteUser(userId: string, requesterId: string) {
// ALWAYS verify authorization first
const requester = await db.users.findUnique({
where: { id: requesterId }
})
if (requester.role !== 'admin') {
return NextResponse.json(
{ error: 'Unauthorized' },
{ status: 403 }
)
}
// Proceed with deletion
await db.users.delete({ where: { id: userId } })
}
Row Level Security (Supabase) -- Enable RLS on all tables
ALTER TABLE users ENABLE ROW LEVEL SECURITY;
-- Users can only view their own data
CREATE POLICY "Users view own data"
ON users FOR SELECT
USING (auth.uid() = id);
-- Users can only update their own data
CREATE POLICY "Users update own data"
ON users FOR UPDATE
USING (auth.uid() = id);
Verification Steps
5. XSS Prevention
Sanitize HTML import DOMPurify from 'isomorphic-dompurify'
// ALWAYS sanitize user-provided HTML
function renderUserContent(html: string) {
const clean = DOMPurify.sanitize(html, {
ALLOWED_TAGS: ['b', 'i', 'em', 'strong', 'p'],
ALLOWED_ATTR: []
})
return <div dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{ __html: clean }} />
}
Content Security Policy // next.config.js
const securityHeaders = [
{
key: 'Content-Security-Policy',
value: `
default-src 'self';
script-src 'self' 'unsafe-eval' 'unsafe-inline';
style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline';
img-src 'self' data: https:;
font-src 'self';
connect-src 'self' https://api.example.com;
`.replace(/\s{2,}/g, ' ').trim()
}
]
Verification Steps
6. CSRF Protection
CSRF Tokens import { csrf } from '@/lib/csrf'
export async function POST(request: Request) {
const token = request.headers.get('X-CSRF-Token')
if (!csrf.verify(token)) {
return NextResponse.json(
{ error: 'Invalid CSRF token' },
{ status: 403 }
)
}
// Process request
}
SameSite Cookies res.setHeader('Set-Cookie',
`session=${sessionId}; HttpOnly; Secure; SameSite=Strict`)
Verification Steps
7. Rate Limiting
API Rate Limiting import rateLimit from 'express-rate-limit'
const limiter = rateLimit({
windowMs: 15 * 60 * 1000, // 15 minutes
max: 100, // 100 requests per window
message: 'Too many requests'
})
// Apply to routes
app.use('/api/', limiter)
Expensive Operations // Aggressive rate limiting for searches
const searchLimiter = rateLimit({
windowMs: 60 * 1000, // 1 minute
max: 10, // 10 requests per minute
message: 'Too many search requests'
})
app.use('/api/search', searchLimiter)
Verification Steps
8. Sensitive Data Exposure
Logging // ❌ WRONG: Logging sensitive data
console.log('User login:', { email, password })
console.log('Payment:', { cardNumber, cvv })
// ✅ CORRECT: Redact sensitive data
console.log('User login:', { email, userId })
console.log('Payment:', { last4: card.last4, userId })
Error Messages // ❌ WRONG: Exposing internal details
catch (error) {
return NextResponse.json(
{ error: error.message, stack: error.stack },
{ status: 500 }
)
}
// ✅ CORRECT: Generic error messages
catch (error) {
console.error('Internal error:', error)
return NextResponse.json(
{ error: 'An error occurred. Please try again.' },
{ status: 500 }
)
}
Verification Steps
9. Blockchain Security (Solana)
Wallet Verification import { verify } from '@solana/web3.js'
async function verifyWalletOwnership(
publicKey: string,
signature: string,
message: string
) {
try {
const isValid = verify(
Buffer.from(message),
Buffer.from(signature, 'base64'),
Buffer.from(publicKey, 'base64')
)
return isValid
} catch (error) {
return false
}
}
Transaction Verification async function verifyTransaction(transaction: Transaction) {
// Verify recipient
if (transaction.to !== expectedRecipient) {
throw new Error('Invalid recipient')
}
// Verify amount
if (transaction.amount > maxAmount) {
throw new Error('Amount exceeds limit')
}
// Verify user has sufficient balance
const balance = await getBalance(transaction.from)
if (balance < transaction.amount) {
throw new Error('Insufficient balance')
}
return true
}
Verification Steps
10. Dependency Security
Regular Updates # Check for vulnerabilities
npm audit
# Fix automatically fixable issues
npm audit fix
# Update dependencies
npm update
# Check for outdated packages
npm outdated
Lock Files # ALWAYS commit lock files
git add package-lock.json
# Use in CI/CD for reproducible builds
npm ci # Instead of npm install
Verification Steps
Security Testing
Automated Security Tests // Test authentication
test('requires authentication', async () => {
const response = await fetch('/api/protected')
expect(response.status).toBe(401)
})
// Test authorization
test('requires admin role', async () => {
const response = await fetch('/api/admin', {
headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${userToken}` }
})
expect(response.status).toBe(403)
})
// Test input validation
test('rejects invalid input', async () => {
const response = await fetch('/api/users', {
method: 'POST',
body: JSON.stringify({ email: 'not-an-email' })
})
expect(response.status).toBe(400)
})
// Test rate limiting
test('enforces rate limits', async () => {
const requests = Array(101).fill(null).map(() =>
fetch('/api/endpoint')
)
const responses = await Promise.all(requests)
const tooManyRequests = responses.filter(r => r.status === 429)
expect(tooManyRequests.length).toBeGreaterThan(0)
})

Resources
Remember : Security is not optional. One vulnerability can compromise the entire platform. When in doubt, err on the side of caution.
When to Use This skill is applicable to execute the workflow or actions described in the overview.
Limitations
Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
