Secure code review is essential for identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities in your software. Here are some best practices to follow:
Develop a checklist that includes common security issues and best practices.
Utilize tools like Static Application Security Testing (SAST) to automate parts of the review. Popular SAST tools include SonarQube, Veracode, and Snyk Code.
Some aspects require human insight, such as logic flaws and complex vulnerabilities.
Ensure all changes are well-documented and the purpose of the code is clear.
Conduct thorough testing to ensure new code does not introduce vulnerabilities.
Regularly train your team on secure coding practices.
Identify potential threats and vulnerabilities early in the development process.
Ensure all inputs and outputs are validated to prevent injection attacks.
Limit access rights for users to the bare minimum.
