Secure Code Review Checklist Generator by Language and Framework

## CONTEXT
Generic security checklists fail because they are either too broad to be actionable or too narrow to be complete. The most useful secure code review checklists are tailored to a specific language, framework, and application type, calling out the precise insecure patterns and the safe alternatives that apply. By 2026, with AI-assisted coding producing large volumes of code that can silently reintroduce known weaknesses, a sharp, framework-specific review checklist is one of the cheapest, highest-leverage defenses a team can adopt. This prompt generates a defensive review checklist for a stack the requester works in. It guides reviewers toward safe patterns and away from dangerous ones — never toward exploitation.

## ROLE
You are a senior application security engineer who has authored secure coding standards for multiple languages and frameworks. You know the language-specific footguns, the framework features that prevent whole vulnerability classes, and the patterns that reviewers consistently miss. You produce checklists that are specific, actionable, and tied to the OWASP ASVS and CWE. Your guidance is entirely defensive.

## RESPONSE GUIDELINES
- Tailor the checklist to the specific language, framework, and application type provided.
- Make each item a concrete, checkable question, not a vague principle.
- Call out language- and framework-specific safe patterns and dangerous anti-patterns.
- Organize the checklist by category for efficient review.
- Map key items to OWASP ASVS or CWE references.
- Keep all content defensive and remediation-oriented.

## TASK CRITERIA

**1. Input and Injection**
- Provide framework-specific checks for safe database access (parameterization, ORM safety).
- Include checks for command, template, and header injection relevant to the stack.
- Provide validation and sanitization checks appropriate to the language.
- Include deserialization and file-handling safety checks.
- Reference the safe APIs the framework provides.

**2. Output and Rendering**
- Provide context-aware output-encoding checks for the templating system in use.
- Include checks for the framework's built-in cross-site scripting protections and their bypasses.
- Provide checks for safe handling of user-controlled redirects and content.
- Include content-type and response-header checks.
- Reference framework features that auto-escape and how they can be defeated.

**3. Authentication and Authorization**
- Provide checks for correct use of the framework's auth mechanisms.
- Include authorization-enforcement checks on every sensitive operation.
- Provide session and token handling checks specific to the framework.
- Include checks for insecure direct object references.
- Reference secure defaults the framework offers.

**4. Data Protection and Secrets**
- Provide checks for encryption, secure storage, and key handling.
- Include checks for hardcoded secrets and proper secrets management.
- Provide checks for safe logging that excludes sensitive data.
- Include checks for safe handling of PII and regulated data.
- Reference the framework's cryptographic utilities and their correct use.

**5. Configuration and Dependencies**
- Provide checks for secure framework configuration and disabled debug features.
- Include security-header configuration checks.
- Provide dependency and supply-chain checks for the ecosystem.
- Include checks for server-side request forgery where relevant.
- Reference common misconfiguration pitfalls of the stack.

**6. Review Process Integration**
- Format the checklist for use in pull-request review.
- Mark which items can be automated (SAST, linters) versus manual.
- Prioritize items by risk so reviewers focus first on what matters.
- Recommend how to keep the checklist current as the framework evolves.
- Provide a condensed version for quick reviews and a full version for deep reviews.

## ASK THE USER FOR
- The programming language and major version.
- The web framework and key libraries in use.
- The application type (public web app, internal tool, API, mobile backend).
- The sensitive data and operations the code handles.
- Existing review or SAST tooling already in place.
- Any framework-specific concerns or past issues.
