A developer-focused security reference covering six OWASP standards for securing web applications, APIs, mobile apps, containers, and AI/LLM systems. Each section provides concise detection guidance, key requirements, and mitigation strategies.
The OWASP Top 10 represents the most critical security risks in web applications.
Detection: URLs with direct ID references (/user/1234/orders); client-side only enforcement; missing authorization checks.
Mitigation: Enforce server-side authorization for every sensitive operation; verify user ownership of resources; implement default-deny principle.
Example:
// INSECURE: No authorization check
app.get('/users/:id/orders', (req, res) => {
const orders = db.query('SELECT * FROM orders WHERE user_id = ?', req.params.id);
res.json(orders);
});
// SECURE: Authorization check
app.get('/users/:id/orders', (req, res) => {
if (req.user.id !== parseInt(req.params.id)) return res.status(403).json({error: 'Forbidden'});
const orders = db.query('SELECT * FROM orders WHERE user_id = ?', req.params.id);
res.json(orders);
});
Checklist: ☐ Authorization on server for all sensitive ops ☐ Default-deny policy ☐ No ID-based obscurity ☐ Whitelist allowed fields
Detection: Sensitive data in plaintext; weak encryption (DES, ECB); missing TLS; hardcoded secrets in code. Mitigation: Always use HTTPS/TLS; encrypt data at rest with AES-256; store secrets in environment variables or vaults; mask sensitive logs. Example:
# INSECURE: API key in code
api_key = "sk-abc123xyz789"
# SECURE: From environment
import os
api_key = os.getenv("API_KEY")
if not api_key: raise ValueError("API_KEY not set")
Checklist: ☐ HTTPS enforced ☐ AES-256 encryption at rest ☐ No secrets in code ☐ Sensitive data masked in logs
Detection: String concatenation in queries; exec, query, run with user input; no prepared statements.
Mitigation: Use parameterized queries; whitelist input; avoid string concatenation; use safe APIs (subprocess.run with list args).
Example:
# INSECURE: String concatenation
os.system("tar -czf " + filename + " /var/data")
# SECURE: List-based API
import subprocess
subprocess.run(["tar", "-czf", filename, "/var/data"], check=True)
Checklist: ☐ Parameterized queries only ☐ No string concat ☐ Whitelist input ☐ Safe subprocess calls
Detection: No threat modeling; missing security controls by design; no authentication/authorization from the start. Mitigation: Implement threat modeling early; design security in from the beginning; use established security libraries/patterns. Checklist: ☐ Threat modeling completed ☐ Security controls in design ☐ Auth/authz from start ☐ Security review in SDLC
Detection: Debug mode enabled; default credentials; verbose error messages; missing security headers; exposed APIs. Mitigation: Disable debug mode; change defaults; hide version info; implement security headers (HSTS, CSP, X-Frame-Options). Example:
# INSECURE: Debug enabled in production
app.debug = True
# SECURE: Debug disabled
app.debug = False
app.config['HSTS_MAX_AGE'] = 31536000
Checklist: ☐ Debug disabled ☐ Defaults changed ☐ Security headers set ☐ No version disclosure
Detection: Old versions in package.json/requirements.txt; unpatched frameworks; deprecated libraries.
Mitigation: Regularly audit dependencies with npm audit, pip safety, Snyk; remove unused packages; keep frameworks patched.
Checklist: ☐ Dependency audits regular ☐ No outdated versions ☐ Unused deps removed ☐ CI/CD security scanning
Detection: Weak passwords; no MFA; predictable session IDs; weak password reset tokens; no rate limiting on login. Mitigation: Hash passwords (bcrypt/Argon2); implement MFA; generate cryptographically secure session IDs; rate-limit failed attempts. Checklist: ☐ Strong password hashing ☐ MFA available ☐ Secure session IDs ☐ Rate limiting on login
Detection: Unsigned updates; unverified dependencies; unsafe deserialization (pickle, Java ObjectInputStream). Mitigation: Sign and verify all updates; use JSON instead of native serialization; whitelist allowed classes; verify checksums. Checklist: ☐ Updates signed/verified ☐ JSON used for serialization ☐ No unsafe deserialization ☐ Checksums verified
Detection: No security event logging; logs contain secrets; no centralized logging; no alerts for anomalies. Mitigation: Log authentication events, access denials, config changes; centralize logs; implement alerts for suspicious patterns. Checklist: ☐ Security events logged ☐ No secrets in logs ☐ Logs centralized ☐ Alerts for anomalies
Detection: App fetches URLs from user input; no URI validation; internal IP ranges accessible. Mitigation: Validate/sanitize URLs; whitelist domains; block internal IP ranges (10.0.0.0/8, 127.0.0.1); use allowlists. Checklist: ☐ URLs validated ☐ Domains whitelisted ☐ Internal IPs blocked ☐ Protocols restricted

}
L1 Requirements: Minimal PII collection, privacy policy required L2 Requirements: Permission rationale, user consent for data sharing L3 Requirements: Privacy by design, differential privacy techniques
REST and GraphQL APIs have unique security challenges different from traditional web apps.
What it is: 10 critical risks specific to API design, authentication, and data exposure.
When to use: Building or securing REST/GraphQL APIs, token-based authentication, rate limiting, property-level authorization.
Detection: Incrementing or predictable IDs in API calls allow access to other users' objects.
Vulnerable Example:
// GET /api/orders/123
// Returns all details of order 123, even if user_id != authenticated user
app.get('/api/orders/:id', (req, res) => {
const order = db.query('SELECT * FROM orders WHERE id = ?', req.params.id);
res.json(order); // No authorization check!
});
Secure Implementation:
app.get('/api/orders/:id', (req, res) => {
const order = db.query('SELECT * FROM orders WHERE id = ? AND user_id = ?',
[req.params.id, req.user.id]);
if (!order) return res.status(404).json({error: 'Not found'});
res.json(order); // Verified ownership
});
// Use opaque IDs to prevent enumeration
function generateOpaqueId(actualId) {
return Buffer.from(`${actualId}:${randomBytes(16)}`).toString('base64');
}
Vulnerable: Weak JWT signing algorithm, no token expiration, no signature validation.
Vulnerable Code:
// VULNERABLE: No signature verification
const decoded = JSON.parse(Buffer.from(token.split('.')[1], 'base64'));
const userId = decoded.user_id; // Attacker can forge token!
Secure Code:
const jwt = require('jsonwebtoken');
const SECRET = process.env.JWT_SECRET;
function verifyToken(token) {
try {
const decoded = jwt.verify(token, SECRET, {
algorithms: ['HS256'], // Enforce algorithm
issuer: 'api.example.com'
});
return decoded;
} catch (err) {
throw new Error('Invalid token');
}
}
Detection: API returns or allows modification of fields user shouldn't access.
Vulnerable:
// VULNERABLE: Returns admin-only fields
app.get('/api/user/:id', (req, res) => {
const user = db.query('SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?', req.params.id);
res.json(user); // Includes password_hash, internal_notes!
});
Secure:
// Whitelist allowed fields per user role
const fieldWhitelist = {
'user': ['id', 'name', 'email', 'created_at'],
'admin': ['id', 'name', 'email', 'role', 'created_at', 'last_login']
};
app.get('/api/user/:id', (req, res) => {
const user = db.query('SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?', req.params.id);
const allowed = fieldWhitelist[req.user.role] || [];
const filtered = Object.keys(user)
.filter(key => allowed.includes(key))
.reduce((obj, key) => ({ ...obj, [key]: user[key] }), {});
res.json(filtered);
});
Detection: No rate limiting, no request size limits, missing quotas.
Secure Implementation:
const rateLimit = require('express-rate-limit');
// Rate limit per user
const limiter = rateLimit({
windowMs: 15 * 60 * 1000, // 15 minutes
max: 100, // 100 requests per windowMs
keyGenerator: (req) => req.user.id, // Per-user limit
message: 'Too many requests, please try again later.'
});
// Request size limit
app.use(express.json({ limit: '1mb' }));
// Query result limit
app.get('/api/items', (req, res) => {
const limit = Math.min(parseInt(req.query.limit) || 10, 100); // Cap at 100
const items = db.query('SELECT * FROM items LIMIT ?', [limit]);
res.json(items);
});
Detection: Admin functions (delete user, export data) accessible to regular users.
Secure Implementation:
function requireRole(role) {
return (req, res, next) => {
if (req.user.role !== role) {
return res.status(403).json({ error: 'Insufficient permissions' });
}
next();
};
}
// Delete user (admin only)
app.delete('/api/users/:id', requireRole('admin'), (req, res) => {
db.query('DELETE FROM users WHERE id = ?', req.params.id);
res.json({ status: 'deleted' });
});

Status: Released by the OWASP GenAI Security Project in December 2025 as the 2026 edition. Note: the
AG01–AG10codes below are this guide's own shorthand and are not official OWASP identifiers — the published taxonomy usesLLM01–LLM10(LLM Applications) andASI01–ASI10(Agentic Applications). Cross-check against the official lists before citing.
AI and LLM-powered agents introduce novel security risks: prompt injection, data leakage through model outputs, unauthorized tool access, and training data poisoning.
What it is: 10 critical risks specific to LLM agents and autonomous AI systems.
When to use: Building chatbots, agentic systems with tool access, RAG applications, fine-tuned models, evaluating AI model safety.
