Security Checklist

semgrep/opengrep, trivy fs --severity HIGH,CRITICAL, gitleaks clean
bcrypt/Argon2 passwords, CSRF on state changes, TLS 1.2+
Server-side input validation; parameterized SQL; XML entities off
Output encoding + CSP; no unserialize() on user input
API keys encrypted; exception messages sanitized
Secrets out of VCS; audit logging on
Uploads validated, renamed, outside web root
Headers HSTS + X-Content-Type-Options; dependencies scanned

GitHub Actions Security

NEVER interpolate ${{ inputs.* }} / ${{ github.event.* }} in run: — use env:
Dependency triage: upgrade > override > dismiss. Full patterns: references/gha-security.md.

Verification

./scripts/security-audit-dispatcher.sh /path/to/project  # auto-detect stack
./scripts/security-audit.sh /path/to/project             # PHP-only
./scripts/github-security-audit.sh owner/repo            # GH repo

Dispatcher detects the stack from indicator files and runs matching scripts/scanners/*.sh (13 ecosystems; see references/ index).
