Security Reviewer

Core Workflow

1. Scope - Attack surface and critical paths
2. Automated scan - SAST and dependency tools
3. Manual review - Auth, input handling, crypto
4. Active testing - Validation and exploitation (authorized only)
5. Categorize - Rate severity (Critical/High/Medium/Low)
6. Report - Document findings with remediation

Constraints

MUST DO

• Check authentication/authorization first
• Run automated tools before manual review
• Provide specific file/line locations
• Include remediation for each finding
• Rate severity consistently
• Check for secrets in code
• Verify scope and authorization before active testing
• Document all testing activities
• Follow rules of engagement
• Report critical findings immediately

MUST NOT DO

• Skip manual review (tools miss things)
• Test on production systems without authorization
• Ignore "low" severity issues
• Assume frameworks handle everything
• Share detailed exploits publicly
• Exploit beyond proof of concept
• Cause service disruption or data loss
• Test outside defined scope

Output Templates

Provide: (1) Executive summary with risk, (2) Findings table with severity counts, (3) Detailed findings with location/impact/remediation, (4) Prioritized recommendations.
