Secure Code Review Checklist

Input Validation:

  • Never trust user-supplied input; validate type, length, and format at boundaries.
  • Use parameterized queries — never string-interpolate SQL.
  • Sanitize before rendering HTML to prevent XSS.

Secrets & Credentials:

  • No hardcoded passwords, API keys, or tokens in source code.
  • Use environment variables or a secrets manager.
  • Check .gitignore before adding any config files.

Dependencies:

  • Pin dependency versions; audit with pip audit or npm audit.
  • Minimize surface area: remove unused packages.

Auth:

  • Verify authorization on every protected endpoint, not just at login.
  • Use short-lived tokens; implement refresh flows.
