Audit Python Web Apps Before Release

Python teams need repeatable checks for common application security controls. This skill provides configurable pytest coverage with clear evidence, boundaries, and release decisions.

Agent request
Review the Skillstore skill "python-web-app-security-audit" from https://skillstore.io/skills/glenskii-python-web-app-security-audit.md and its manifest at https://skillstore.io/api/skills/glenskii-python-web-app-security-audit/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 "python-web-app-security-audit". Assess authentication controls for the configured protected and admin routes.

Expected outcome:

  • PASS: Protected and admin routes reject unauthenticated requests.
  • REVIEW REQUIRED: Account enumeration timing remains inconclusive under the in-process test conditions.
  • Boundary: External identity providers and production session infrastructure were not tested.

Using "python-web-app-security-audit". Summarize a failed CORS and cookie audit.

Expected outcome:

BLOCKED: The protected route accepts the hostile origin, and the session cookie lacks Secure. Restrict allowed origins, enable Secure, and rerun both checks.

Using "python-web-app-security-audit". Create a release summary after all configured checks pass.

Expected outcome:

PASS: Configured application-layer checks completed without blocking or review-level findings. Deployment TLS, proxy behavior, dependencies, and external services remain outside scope.

All 136 static findings are false positives caused by defensive test payloads, explicit local configuration, safe copy operations, or Markdown formatting. Requests use in-process ASGITransport, active probes require owner opt-in, and no credential exfiltration, prompt injection, or malicious intent was found.

What You Can Build

Pre-release application review

Run repeatable security checks before approving a Python service release.

Framework security regression testing

Add focused ASGI security tests to a FastAPI, Django, or adapted Flask project.

Evidence-based release gating

Record tested controls, failures, skipped checks, boundaries, and a clear release decision.

Try These Prompts

Review the audit scope
Review this Python web application and identify which bundled security checks apply. List required routes, accounts, origins, and test boundaries.
Prepare an ASGI audit
Prepare the security suite for this application. Configure the import path and non-destructive checks, but keep active probes disabled.
Analyze test failures
Run the configured security tests and analyze each failure. Separate confirmed weaknesses, configuration mistakes, unsupported controls, and skipped checks.
Build a release decision
Perform an authorized audit with approved active probes. Produce evidence, severity, remediation, retest status, scope boundaries, and a justified release decision.

Best Practices

  • Use dedicated accounts, records, and an isolated non-production environment.
  • Configure actual routes, origins, ownership identifiers, and rate limits before interpreting results.
  • Record every skipped check and preserve sanitized evidence for each failure and retest.

Avoid

  • Do not use production credentials or production data in the test configuration.
  • Do not enable active probes without application-owner authorization and an isolated target.
  • Do not treat a passing run or skipped check as proof of complete production security.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Python frameworks are supported?
FastAPI and Django ASGI applications are supported directly. Flask requires a maintained ASGI adapter.
Does the suite open a public test server?
No. It loads the configured ASGI application and sends requests through httpx ASGITransport in process.
Are active probes enabled by default?
No. Repeated, malformed, and target-specific probes remain skipped until the owner explicitly enables them.
Can this replace a penetration test?
No. It covers configured application behavior and does not establish infrastructure, dependency, or production security.
What credentials should I provide?
Use dedicated non-production user and administrator accounts. Keep the populated test environment file out of version control.
What does a passing result mean?
It means configured checks found no blocking or review-level issue. Untested controls and documented boundaries still require separate review.
