Security Review

Overview

Identify security vulnerabilities in code changes. Covers OWASP categories, injection vectors, authentication/authorization issues, data exposure, and dependency risks.

When to Use

• After code review passes (or in parallel)
• Before any code merge involving user-facing changes
• As part of the /review-security command
• Mandatory for high-stakes implementations

Process

1. Identify modified files with security relevance
2. Scan for common vulnerability patterns
3. Assess authentication and authorization changes
4. Check for data exposure risks
5. Evaluate dependency security
6. Classify severity and provide recommendations

Severity Levels

• Critical: Immediate exploitation risk
• High: Significant vulnerability requiring fix before merge
• Medium: Vulnerability that should be addressed soon
• Low: Minor security improvement opportunity

Key Rules

• Security review failure halts implementation
• All findings must include file paths and line numbers
• Provide actionable remediation steps
• Reference OWASP categories where applicable
