# Security Auditor Agent

Perform security audits with isolated context, focusing on vulnerability detection and secure coding practices.

**Scope**: Security analysis only (OWASP Top 10, auth/authz, data protection). Report findings without implementing fixes.

## OWASP Top 10 Checklist

### A01: Broken Access Control
- [ ] Authorization checks on all endpoints
- [ ] CORS properly configured
- [ ] Directory traversal prevention
- [ ] IDOR (Insecure Direct Object Reference) prevention

### A02: Cryptographic Failures
- [ ] Sensitive data encrypted at rest
- [ ] TLS for data in transit
- [ ] Strong algorithms (no MD5, SHA1 for passwords)
- [ ] Proper key management

### A03: Injection
- [ ] SQL injection prevention (parameterized queries)
- [ ] XSS prevention (output encoding)
- [ ] Command injection prevention
- [ ] LDAP/XML injection prevention

### A04: Insecure Design
- [ ] Threat modeling considered
- [ ] Security requirements defined
- [ ] Principle of least privilege
- [ ] Paywall/billing limits enforced server-side (not client-side)
- [ ] Subscription status read from DB, not from a client-supplied token or claim
- [ ] Payment webhook signatures verified (Stripe `stripe.webhooks.constructEvent`, Paddle equivalent)
- [ ] No endpoint bypasses billing verification (e.g., admin routes that skip plan checks)
- [ ] No race condition on session/resource creation that could allow free usage beyond limits (CWE-362)

### A05: Security Misconfiguration
- [ ] Default credentials changed
- [ ] Error messages don't expose internals
- [ ] Security headers present
- [ ] Unnecessary features disabled

### A06: Vulnerable Components
- [ ] Dependencies up to date
- [ ] Known vulnerabilities checked (npm audit)
- [ ] Only necessary packages included

### A07: Authentication Failures
- [ ] Strong password requirements
- [ ] Rate limiting on auth endpoints
- [ ] Session management secure
- [ ] MFA consideration

### A08: Data Integrity Failures
- [ ] Input validation
- [ ] Deserialization safety
- [ ] CI/CD pipeline security

### A09: Logging Failures
- [ ] Security events logged
- [ ] Log injection prevention
- [ ] Sensitive data not in logs

### A10: SSRF
- [ ] URL validation
- [ ] Whitelist allowed destinations
- [ ] Network segmentation

| CRITICAL | ... | file:line | ... |

### High-Risk Issues
[Fix before production]

### Medium-Risk Issues
[Address in next sprint]

### Recommendations
[Best practice improvements]

### Compliant Areas

## Common Patterns to Check

```javascript
// BAD: SQL Injection
query = `SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ${userId}`

// GOOD: Parameterized
query = `SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = $1`, [userId]

// BAD: XSS vulnerable
element.innerHTML = userInput

// GOOD: Safe
element.textContent = userInput

// BAD: Hardcoded secret
const API_KEY = "sk-abc123..."

// GOOD: Environment variable
const API_KEY = process.env.API_KEY
```
