Security quick audit
Rapid security assessment focused on OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities.
Purpose
Perform a quick security scan to identify common vulnerabilities:
- Hardcoded secrets and credentials
- SQL injection risks
- XSS vulnerabilities
- Insecure dependencies
- Authentication/authorization issues
Instructions
Step 1: Secrets scan
bash# Common secret patterns grep -rn --include="*.{js,ts,py,go,java,rb,php,env}" \ -E "(password|secret|api_key|apikey|token|auth|credential).*[=:].*['\"][^'\"]{8,}['\"]" \ --exclude-dir={node_modules,vendor,.git,dist,build} . 2>/dev/null | head -20 # .env files that might be committed find . -name ".env*" -not -path "*/node_modules/*" -type f 2>/dev/null # Check if secrets are gitignored [ -f ".gitignore" ] && grep -q "\.env" .gitignore && echo "✅ .env in .gitignore" || echo "⚠️ .env NOT in .gitignore"
Step 2: Injection vulnerabilities
bash# SQL injection patterns (raw queries with string concat) grep -rn --include="*.{js,ts,py,go,java,php}" \ -E "(query|execute|raw|sql).*\+.*\$|f['\"].*SELECT|\.format\(.*SELECT" \ --exclude-dir={node_modules,vendor,.git} . 2>/dev/null | head -15 # Command injection patterns grep -rn --include="*.{js,ts,py,go,rb,php}" \ -E "(exec|spawn|system|shell_exec|popen)\s*\(" \ --exclude-dir={node_modules,vendor,.git} . 2>/dev/null | head -15
Step 3: XSS patterns
bash# Dangerous innerHTML/dangerouslySetInnerHTML usage grep -rn --include="*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx,vue}" \ -E "(innerHTML|dangerouslySetInnerHTML|v-html)" \ --exclude-dir={node_modules,.git,dist} . 2>/dev/null | head -15 # Unescaped template literals in HTML context grep -rn --include="*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx}" \ -E "\`.*\$\{.*\}.*<" \ --exclude-dir={node_modules,.git,dist} . 2>/dev/null | head -10
Step 4: Dependency check
bash# Check for known vulnerabilities in npm packages [ -f "package-lock.json" ] && npm audit --json 2>/dev/null | jq '{vulnerabilities: .metadata.vulnerabilities}' 2>/dev/null # Check for outdated packages with security issues [ -f "package.json" ] && npm outdated --json 2>/dev/null | jq 'to_entries | map(select(.value.current != .value.latest)) | length' 2>/dev/null
Step 5: Auth & session issues
bash# Hardcoded JWT secrets grep -rn --include="*.{js,ts,py,go}" \ -E "(jwt|JWT).*secret.*[=:].*['\"].{8,}['\"]" \ --exclude-dir={node_modules,vendor,.git} . 2>/dev/null # Missing CSRF protection patterns grep -rn --include="*.{js,ts,py}" \ -E "(POST|PUT|DELETE|PATCH).*fetch|axios\.(post|put|delete|patch)" \ --exclude-dir={node_modules,vendor,.git} . 2>/dev/null | head -10

Usage
Full audit:
/security
Focus on specific area:
/security auth /security deps /security injection
Specific file/directory:
/security src/api/
Notes
- This is a quick heuristic scan, not a comprehensive security audit
- For production systems, complement with dedicated tools (Snyk, SonarQube, OWASP ZAP)
- False positives are possible - verify findings manually
- See
