Application Security
Security is a product quality requirement, not a final release checklist.
High-impact areas
- Authentication and authorization design
- Input validation and output encoding
- Secret management
- Dependency and supply chain risks
- Session and token handling
- Access control and least privilege
Minimum secure coding baseline
- Validate all external input.
- Use parameterized queries.
- Hash passwords with strong algorithms.
- Enforce HTTPS and secure headers.
- Store secrets in a vault or secure env system.
- Run dependency vulnerability scans in CI.
