Vulnerability and Security Code Auditor

Scans code for common security vulnerabilities (e.g. OWASP Top 10) and provides detailed mitigation instructions.

Use Case

Use this to perform a quick security scan on your custom code before pushing to production or during code reviews.
AI Prompt
Act as an expert Application Security Engineer. Audit the following code snippet for potential security vulnerabilities, including but not limited to the OWASP Top 10 list (e.g. SQL injection, XSS, SSRF, broken authentication, insecure deserialization, or hardcoded secrets). For any vulnerability identified: 1. Explain the risk and how an attacker could exploit it. 2. Provide a concrete example of an exploit payload. 3. Show the refactored, secure version of the code that mitigates this threat. Code snippet to audit: [insert code snippet here]

How to Use

  1. 1Input the code you wish to check for security flaws.
  2. 2Run the prompt.
  3. 3Analyze the findings and update your code with the provided secure alternatives.

Example Output

A SQL injection vulnerability was found in the search input query. An attacker could bypass input filters to view unauthorized data. To fix this, the raw string concatenation is replaced with parameterized queries. Parameterization ensures that user input is treated as literal data rather than executable SQL command instructions.
