When reviewing code for OWASP compliance, systematically check against the OWASP Top 10 and other security best practices:

OWASP Top 10 (2021) Security Risks

A01:2021 – Broken Access Control

Description: Restrictions on what authenticated users are allowed to do are often not properly enforced.

Common Vulnerabilities:

Vertical Privilege Escalation: Users accessing admin functions
Horizontal Privilege Escalation: Users accessing other users' data
Missing Function Level Access Control: Unprotected API endpoints
Insecure Direct Object References: Direct access to internal objects

Code Review Checklist:

- [ ] Authorization checks present on all protected endpoints
- [ ] User permissions validated before data access
- [ ] Object-level authorization implemented
- [ ] Administrative functions properly protected
- [ ] Default deny access control policies
- [ ] Session management properly implemented

Example Vulnerabilities:

// VULNERABLE: No authorization check
[HttpGet("/api/users/{id}")]
public User GetUser(int id)
{
    return userRepository.GetById(id); // Any user can access any user's data
}

// SECURE: Proper authorization
[HttpGet("/api/users/{id}")]
[Authorize]
public User GetUser(int id)
{
    var currentUserId = GetCurrentUserId();
    if (id != currentUserId && !User.IsInRole("Admin"))
        throw new UnauthorizedAccessException();
    
    return userRepository.GetById(id);
}

A02:2021 – Cryptographic Failures

Description: Failures related to cryptography which often leads to sensitive data exposure.

Common Issues:

Weak Encryption: Using outdated algorithms (MD5, SHA1, DES)
Hard-coded Secrets: API keys, passwords in source code
Insufficient Key Management: Weak key generation, storage
Missing Encryption: Sensitive data transmitted/stored in plaintext

Code Review Checklist:

- [ ] Strong encryption algorithms used (AES-256, RSA-2048+)
- [ ] No hard-coded secrets in source code
- [ ] Proper key management and rotation
- [ ] HTTPS/TLS for data transmission
- [ ] Sensitive data encrypted at rest
- [ ] Secure random number generation

A03:2021 – Injection

Description: Application is vulnerable to injection flaws when user input is not validated, filtered, or sanitized.

Types of Injection:

SQL Injection: Malicious SQL code execution
NoSQL Injection: NoSQL database manipulation
OS Command Injection: Operating system command execution
LDAP Injection: LDAP query manipulation

Code Review Checklist:

- [ ] Parameterized queries used for database access
- [ ] Input validation on all user inputs
- [ ] Output encoding for dynamic content
- [ ] Least privilege database access
- [ ] Stored procedures used where appropriate
- [ ] ORM frameworks used correctly

Example Vulnerabilities:

// VULNERABLE: SQL Injection
public User GetUser(string username)
{
    var sql = $"SELECT * FROM Users WHERE Username = '{username}'";
    return database.Query<User>(sql).FirstOrDefault();
}

// SECURE: Parameterized query
public User GetUser(string username)
{
    var sql = "SELECT * FROM Users WHERE Username = @username";
    return database.Query<User>(sql, new { username }).FirstOrDefault();
}

A04:2021 – Insecure Design

Description: Security flaws in the design and architecture of the application.

Design Security Issues:

Missing Security Controls: No rate limiting, logging
Insecure Architecture: Poor separation of concerns
Threat Modeling Gaps: Unidentified attack vectors
Business Logic Flaws: Workflow vulnerabilities

A05:2021 – Security Misconfiguration

Description: Security hardening missing across application stack or improperly configured permissions.

Common Misconfigurations:

Default Credentials: Using default passwords
Unnecessary Features: Enabled unused services
Missing Security Headers: HSTS, CSP, X-Frame-Options
Detailed Error Messages: Information disclosure

Code Review Checklist:

- [ ] Security headers properly configured
- [ ] Error handling doesn't expose sensitive information
- [ ] Default credentials changed
- [ ] Unnecessary features disabled
- [ ] Proper CORS configuration
- [ ] Security logging enabled

A06:2021 – Vulnerable and Outdated Components

Description: Using components with known vulnerabilities or outdated versions.

Component Security:

Dependency Scanning: Regular vulnerability scanning
Update Management: Timely security updates
Component Inventory: Tracking all dependencies
License Compliance: Ensuring proper licensing

A07:2021 – Identification and Authentication Failures

Description: Weaknesses in authentication and session management.

Authentication Issues:

Weak Passwords: No complexity requirements
Credential Stuffing: No protection against automated attacks
Session Management: Insecure session handling
Multi-factor Authentication: Missing MFA

Code Review Checklist:

- [ ] Strong password policies enforced
- [ ] Account lockout mechanisms implemented
- [ ] Secure session management
- [ ] Multi-factor authentication available
- [ ] Password reset security
- [ ] Session timeout configured

A08:2021 – Software and Data Integrity Failures

Description: Code and infrastructure that do not protect against integrity violations.

Integrity Issues:

Unsigned Updates: Software updates without verification
CI/CD Security: Insecure deployment pipelines
Dependency Confusion: Malicious package substitution
Data Tampering: Lack of data integrity checks

A09:2021 – Security Logging and Monitoring Failures

Description: Insufficient logging and monitoring, coupled with missing or ineffective integration.

Logging Requirements:

Security Events: Authentication failures, access violations
Audit Trails: User actions and system changes
Real-time Monitoring: Automated threat detection
Log Protection: Secure log storage and access

Code Review Checklist:

- [ ] Security-relevant events logged
- [ ] Sufficient log detail for forensics
- [ ] Log tampering protection
- [ ] Real-time alerting for critical events
- [ ] Log retention policies
- [ ] Centralized logging implemented

A10:2021 – Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)

Description: SSRF flaws occur when a web application fetches a remote resource without validating the user-supplied URL.

SSRF Prevention:

URL Validation: Whitelist allowed domains
Network Segmentation: Isolate application servers
Input Sanitization: Validate and sanitize URLs
Response Filtering: Filter response data

Additional Security Review Areas

Input Validation and Sanitization

// VULNERABLE: No input validation
public void UpdateUserProfile(string email, string bio)
{
    user.Email = email; // Could be malicious script
    user.Bio = bio;     // Could contain XSS payload
}

// SECURE: Input validation and sanitization
public void UpdateUserProfile(string email, string bio)
{
    if (!IsValidEmail(email))
        throw new ArgumentException("Invalid email format");
    
    user.Email = email;
    user.Bio = HtmlEncoder.Default.Encode(bio); // Prevent XSS
}

Secure Configuration Management

// VULNERABLE: Hard-coded secrets
public class ApiService
{
    private const string API_KEY = "sk-1234567890abcdef"; // Hard-coded!
    private const string DB_PASSWORD = "admin123";        // Hard-coded!
}

// SECURE: Configuration from environment
public class ApiService
{
    private readonly string _apiKey;
    private readonly string _dbPassword;
    
    public ApiService(IConfiguration config)
    {
        _apiKey = config["ApiKey"] ?? throw new ArgumentException("API key not configured");
        _dbPassword = config["DbPassword"] ?? throw new ArgumentException("DB password not configured");
    }
}
