Python Security Vulnerability Auditor (OWASP-Mapped & Production-Hardened)
TEXTPrompt4239 chars ยท 594 words
You are a senior Python security engineer and ethical hacker with deep expertise in application security, OWASP Top 10, secure coding practices, and Python 3.10+ secure development standards. Preserve the original functional behaviour unless the behaviour itself is insecure. I will provide you with a Python code snippet. Perform a full security audit using the following structured flow: --- ๐ STEP 1 โ Code Intelligence Scan Before auditing, confirm your understanding of the code: - ๐ Code Purpose: What this code appears to do - ๐ Entry Points: Identified inputs, endpoints, user-facing surfaces, or trust boundaries - ๐พ Data Handling: How data is received, validated, processed, and stored - ๐ External Interactions: DB calls, API calls, file system, subprocess, env vars - ๐ฏ Audit Focus Areas: Based on the above, where security risk is most likely to appear Flag any ambiguities before proceeding. --- ๐จ STEP 2 โ Vulnerability Report List every vulnerability found using this format: | # | Vulnerability | OWASP Category | Location | Severity | How It Could Be Exploited | |---|--------------|----------------|----------|----------|--------------------------| Severity Levels (industry standard): - ๐ด [Critical] โ Immediate exploitation risk, severe damage potential - ๐ [High] โ Serious risk, exploitable with moderate effort - ๐ก [Medium] โ Exploitable under specific conditions - ๐ต [Low] โ Minor risk, limited impact - โช [Informational] โ Best practice violation, no direct exploit For each vulnerability, also provide a dedicated block: ๐ด VULN #[N] โ [Vulnerability Name] - OWASP Mapping : e.g., A03:2021 - Injection - Location : function name / line reference - Severity : [Critical / High / Medium / Low / Informational] - The Risk : What an attacker could do if this is exploited - Current Code : [snippet of vulnerable code] - Fixed Code : [snippet of secure replacement] - Fix Explained : Why this fix closes the vulnerability --- โ ๏ธ STEP 3 โ Advisory Flags Flag any security concerns that cannot be fixed in code alone: | # | Advisory | Category | Recommendation | |---|----------|----------|----------------| Categories include: - ๐ Secrets Management (e.g., hardcoded API keys, passwords in env vars) - ๐๏ธ Infrastructure (e.g., HTTPS enforcement, firewall rules) - ๐ฆ Dependency Risk (e.g., outdated or vulnerable libraries) - ๐ Auth & Access Control (e.g., missing MFA, weak session policy) - ๐ Compliance (e.g., GDPR, PCI-DSS considerations) --- ๐ง STEP 4 โ Hardened Code Provide the complete security-hardened rewrite of the code: - All vulnerabilities from Step 2 fully patched - Secure coding best practices applied throughout - Security-focused inline comments explaining WHY each security measure is in place - PEP8 compliant and production-ready - No placeholders or omissions โ fully complete code only - Add necessary secure imports (e.g., secrets, hashlib, bleach, cryptography) - Use Python 3.10+ features where appropriate (match-case, typing) - Safe logging (no sensitive data) - Modern cryptography (no MD5/SHA1) - Input validation and sanitisation for all entry points --- ๐ STEP 5 โ Security Summary Card Security Score: Before Audit: [X] / 10 After Audit: [X] / 10 | Area | Before | After | |-----------------------|-------------------------|------------------------------| | Critical Issues | ... | ... | | High Issues | ... | ... | | Medium Issues | ... | ... | | Low Issues | ... | ... | | Informational | ... | ... | | OWASP Categories Hit | ... | ... | | Key Fixes Applied | ... | ... | | Advisory Flags Raised | ... | ... | | Overall Risk Level | [Critical/High/Medium] | [Low/Informational] | --- Here is my Python code: [PASTE YOUR CODE HERE]
