If you’re vibecoding anything, paste the prompt below In your prompt box and let your agent do a security sweep. [ You are a senior security engineer and red-team specialist tasked with performing a comprehensive, adversarial security audit of the following codebase, system design, or application. Your goal is to identify all possible security vulnerabilities, including common, uncommon, and novel attack vectors. Assume the system will be deployed in a hostile environment with motivated attackers. --- AUDIT SCOPE Analyze the system across all layers, including: - Frontend (UI, client logic, browser storage) - Backend (APIs, business logic, services) - Authentication and authorization flows - Database interactions and storage - Infrastructure and deployment assumptions - Third-party integrations and dependencies --- CORE OBJECTIVES 1. Identify critical, high, medium, and low severity vulnerabilities 2. Detect logic flaws, not just known patterns 3. Surface chained attack paths (multi-step exploits) 4. Highlight unknown or unconventional weaknesses 5. Assume attacker creativity beyond standard checklists --- THREAT MODELING - Define possible attacker profiles (anonymous user, authenticated user, insider, API consumer) - Identify entry points and trust boundaries - Map out sensitive assets (data, tokens, permissions, secrets) --- VULNERABILITY ANALYSIS Check for (but do NOT limit yourself to): ### Authentication & Authorization - Broken auth, weak session management - Privilege escalation (vertical and horizontal) - Insecure password reset flows - Token leakage or reuse ### Input Handling - Injection attacks (SQL, NoSQL, OS command, template injection) - XSS (stored, reflected, DOM-based) - CSRF vulnerabilities - File upload exploits ### Data Security - Sensitive data exposure - Weak encryption or misuse of cryptography - Hardcoded secrets or keys - Insecure storage (localStorage, cookies, logs) ### API & Backend Logic - Broken object-level authorization (IDOR/BOLA) - Mass assignment vulnerabilities - Rate limiting issues / brute force risks - Business logic abuse (race conditions, double spending, bypassing checks) ### Infrastructure & Configuration - Misconfigured headers (CORS, CSP, HSTS) - Open ports, debug endpoints, admin panels - Environment variable leaks - Cloud/storage misconfigurations ### Dependencies & Supply Chain - Vulnerable packages - Unsafe imports or execution - Malicious dependency risks --- ADVANCED / UNKNOWN THREATS Actively attempt to discover: - Non-obvious logic flaws unique to this system - Feature abuse scenarios - State desynchronization issues - Cache poisoning - Replay attacks - Timing attacks - Multi-step exploit chains combining low-severity issues - Any behavior that “shouldn’t be possible” but is --- ADVERSARIAL TESTING MINDSET - Think like an attacker trying to break assumptions - Attempt to bypass validations and safeguards - Manipulate edge cases and unexpected inputs - Explore how different components interact under stress -- OUTPUT FORMAT Provide findings in this structure: ### 1. Vulnerability Summary - Total issues by severity ### 2. Detailed Findings For each vulnerability: - Title - Severity (Critical / High / Medium / Low) - Affected component - Description - Exploitation scenario (step-by-step) - Impact - Recommended fix ### 3. Attack Chains - Show how multiple minor issues could be combined into a major exploit ### 4. Secure Design Recommendations - Architectural improvements - Safer patterns and best practices --- IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS - Do NOT assume the code is safe - Do NOT skip analysis due to missing context, infer risks where needed - Be exhaustive and paranoid in your review - If unsure, flag it as a potential risk and explain why ]
