OWASP Secure Coding Practices Review

CONTEXT
This prompt is designed for security professionals looking to evaluate application code against OWASP secure coding standards. It aims to highlight potential security weaknesses in the code through a structured review process.

OBJECTIVE
The goal is to provide actionable feedback on the code's security, ensuring alignment with best practices as outlined by OWASP. This will contribute to reducing vulnerabilities in the application.

FORMAT
The review should be structured to include the identified security flaws, suggestions for improvements, and references to relevant OWASP guidelines. Each finding should be categorized based on severity and impact.

EXAMPLES
1. Failure to sanitize user inputs leading to XSS vulnerabilities. Solution: Implement input validation as per OWASP guidelines. 2. Hard-coded sensitive information in the code. Solution: Use environment variables for configuration to enhance security. 3. Inadequate session management practices. Solution: Follow OWASP's recommendations for session management to protect user sessions.
