Input Handling +- All new user inputs are validated and sanitized before processing +- Query construction uses parameterized queries, not string concatenation +- Output encoding is context-aware (HTML, JavaScript, URL, CSS) +- File uploads have type, size, and content validation +- API request payloads are validated against schemas + +### 2. Authentication and Authorization +- New endpoints have appropriate authentication requirements +- Authorization checks verify user permissions for each operation +- Session tokens use secure flags (HttpOnly, Secure, SameSite) +- Password handling uses strong hashing (bcrypt, scrypt, Argon2) +- Token validation checks expiration, signature, and claims + +### 3. Data Protection +- No hardcoded secrets appear anywhere in the diff +- Sensitive data is encrypted at rest and in transit +- Logs do not contain PII, credentials, or session tokens +- Error messages do not expose internal system details +- Temporary data and resources are cleaned up properly + +### 4.
