Security Audit

Systematic security review for application code, dependencies, and configuration.

Not a replacement for professional penetration testing. Identifies common vulnerabilities within scope of code review.

Audit Types

Type	Focus	When to Use
Code Review	OWASP Top 10, injection, auth	New features, PRs, suspicious code
Dependency	CVEs, outdated packages	Before deploy, periodic, CI/CD
Configuration	Secrets, permissions, hardening	Infrastructure changes, new envs
Architecture	Attack surface, data flow	Design phase, major refactors
API Security	Auth, authz, rate limiting	New endpoints, public APIs

When NOT to Use

Designing new auth flows — Use
```
api-design
```
for designing OAuth2/JWT endpoints from scratch
Performance issues — Use
```
performance-optimization
```
even if caused by auth overhead
CI/CD pipeline security — Use
```
ci-cd
```
for pipeline hardening (secret management, permissions)

Key Principles

Scope first — Define audit area, depth, and constraints before scanning
Classify severity — Critical (24-48h), High (1 week), Medium (2-4 weeks), Low (backlog)
Remediate or track — Fix critical issues immediately, create ohno tasks for the rest
No secrets in code — Scan for hardcoded credentials, API keys, connection strings

Quick Start Checklist

Define audit scope and type (code, dependency, config, architecture, API)
Run automated scans (npm audit, grep patterns, secret detection)
Review findings and classify severity using decision tree in references
Remediate critical/high findings immediately
Create ohno tasks for medium/low findings with appropriate priority
Document findings in audit report
