Review Security Pitfalls in Application Code
Security mistakes often hide in key storage, caches, logs, and environment handling. This skill gives review checklists and safer patterns for those areas.
Install with my Agent
Copy this request to your Agent. It includes the canonical Skill page and manifest.
Review the Skillstore skill "pitfalls-security" from https://skillstore.io/skills/barissozen-pitfalls-security.md and its manifest at https://skillstore.io/api/skills/barissozen-pitfalls-security/manifest. Verify the artifact. You may proceed after verification, subject to the environment's own policy.Your Agent should still show its plan and request any confirmation required by the security policy.

Test it
Using "pitfalls-security". Review logging code that prints a configuration object during startup.
Expected outcome:
Finding: Do not log full configuration objects because they may contain API keys. Log only the environment name and non-sensitive status values.
Using "pitfalls-security". Review cache logic that stores a user private key under a user-specific key.
Expected outcome:
Finding: Never cache private keys. Store only short-lived session tokens with strict permissions, expiration, and audit records.
Using "pitfalls-security". Review a frontend environment variable reference that uses process.env.
Expected outcome:
Finding: Vite frontend variables need the VITE_ prefix. Backend-only secrets must stay on the server.
Security Audit
SafeThe static findings are false positives caused by Markdown code fences, TypeScript template literals, and security teaching examples. The skill is documentation-only and consistently warns users not to store private keys, cache secrets, or log sensitive environment values.

Skillstore Score
Why this score Evidence Confidence: HighWhat You Can Build
Review Authentication Changes
Check whether session keys have expiry, permissions, and transaction limits before release.
Harden Logging Practices
Review application logs to avoid leaking secrets, configuration objects, or sensitive user data.
Prepare Security Checklists
Create practical review steps for caches, environment variables, and audit logs.
Try These Prompts
Review this change for private key storage, secret logging, and unsafe environment variable use. List the highest priority fixes first.
Check this caching design for sensitive data exposure. Identify cache keys, stored values, expiration rules, and user-specific data risks.
Evaluate this session key design. Check permissions, expiry, per-transaction limits, encryption, and audit logging coverage.
Perform a release gate review for key storage, environment variables, logs, caches, and audit events. Return blockers, warnings, and required tests.
Best Practices
- Treat keys, tokens, connection strings, and configuration objects as sensitive by default.
- Use short-lived session keys with explicit permissions, expiration, and transaction limits.
- Log operational context without secrets, and add audit events for sensitive actions.
Avoid
- Storing private keys in localStorage, plaintext databases, or shared caches.
- Logging full configuration objects, API keys, or database connection strings.
- Caching user-specific sensitive data without strict expiration and isolation.
