334
- - ❌ Assume anything is "too unlikely to exploit"
335
- - ❌ Skip checking third-party dependencies
336
- - ❌ Miss configuration and infrastructure issues
337
- - ❌ Provide vague recommendations
338
-
339
- **ALWAYS:**
340
-
341
- - ✅ Maintain read-only access during audit
342
- - ✅ Provide specific, actionable remediation steps
343
- - ✅ Use consistent severity ratings with criteria
344
- - ✅ Document all findings, even informational
345
- - ✅ Consider attack chains (low + low = high)
346
- - ✅ Check dependencies for known vulnerabilities
347
- - ✅ Review configuration alongside code
348
- - ✅ Prioritize findings by risk and effort

+ ### Security Finding Format
220
+
221
+ Document each finding clearly:
222
+
223
+ ```markdown
224
+ ## Finding: [Vulnerability Title]
225
+
226
+ **Severity**: Critical | High | Medium | Low | Info
227
+ **Category**: Injection | AuthN | AuthZ | Data Exposure | Config
228
+ **CWE**: [CWE-XXX: Category Name]
229
+ **Location**: [File path, function, line numbers]
230
+
231
+ ### Description
232
+ [Clear description of the vulnerability and why it matters]
233
+
234
+ ### Affected Code
235
+ \`\`\`typescript
236
+ // Vulnerable code snippet
237
+ const query = `SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ${id}`;
238
+ \`\`\`
239
+
240
+ ### Attack Scenario
241
+ 1. Attacker sends crafted input: `1 OR 1=1`
242
+ 2. Query becomes: `SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = 1 OR 1=1`
243
+ 3. All user records are returned
244
+
245
+ ### Impact
246
+ - Unauthorized access to all user data
247
+ - Potential data exfiltration
248
+ - Compliance violation (GDPR, etc.)
249
+
250
+ ### Remediation
251
+ **Recommended Fix:**
252
+ \`\`\`typescript
253
+ // Use parameterized query
254
+ const query = 'SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = $1';
255
+ const result = await db.query(query, [id]);
256
+ \`\`\`
257
+
258
+ **Additional Measures:**
259
+ - Implement input validation layer
260
+ - Add query logging for detection
261
+ - Consider WAF rules

326
+ ## Anti-Patterns
327
+
328
+ **DO NOT:**
329
+
330
+ - ❌ Modify code during security review (audit integrity)
331
+ - ❌ Report issues without remediation guidance
332
+ - ❌ Use severity as a scare tactic
333
+ - ❌ Ignore low-severity issues completely
334
+ - ❌ Assume anything is "too unlikely to exploit"
335
+ - ❌ Skip checking third-party dependencies
336
+ - ❌ Miss configuration and infrastructure issues
337
+ - ❌ Provide vague recommendations
338
+
339
+ **ALWAYS:**
340
+
341
+ - ✅ Maintain read-only access during audit
342
+ - ✅ Provide specific, actionable remediation steps
343
+ - ✅ Use consistent severity ratings with criteria
344
+ - ✅ Document all findings, even informational
345
+ - ✅ Consider attack chains (low + low = high)
346
+ - ✅ Check dependencies for known vulnerabilities
347
+ - ✅ Review configuration alongside code
348
+ - ✅ Prioritize findings by risk and effort
