Static Application Security Testing (SAST) Scanner

Scans code snippets for OWASP security vulnerabilities and provides remediation instructions.

Use Case

Use this prompt during code reviews or before deployments to find and fix security gaps before code is released.
AI Prompt
Act as a lead application security engineer. Analyze the following source code for security vulnerabilities: [insert code here]. Check for standard vulnerabilities such as those in the OWASP Top 10 (SQL injection, XSS, SSRF, insecure deserialization, broken authentication). For each vulnerability found, explain the risk level, the exact mechanism of the exploit, and provide the secure remediation code.

How to Use

  1. 1Select the source code file or function that processes user input or handles database queries.
  2. 2Paste the code into the prompt template.
  3. 3Run the prompt to receive a detailed vulnerability report and security patch recommendations.

Example Output

A critical vulnerability was identified in the database query assembly where raw string concatenation is used with user inputs, opening up potential SQL Injection. An attacker could bypass authentication by appending dynamic SQL syntax. Remediation involves switching to parameterized queries, which treats user inputs as parameters rather than executable commands.
