This project is a web application security standard and vulnerability framework. It provides a comprehensive list of the most critical security risks facing web applications, paired with technical guidance and a structured methodology for identifying and mitigating these flaws.
The framework functions as a secure coding guide and a risk assessment methodology, offering a standardized approach to prioritizing vulnerabilities based on their potential impact and likelihood of exploitation. It defines architectural patterns and technical recommendations to help developers implement defense in depth across the entire software lifecycle.
The project covers a broad surface of security capabilities, including identity and access management, API security hardening, and software supply chain security. It also provides guidance on secure software development, security compliance auditing, and the integration of threat modeling and code reviews into the development process.
