  - 1. a plain-English explanation of the risk
  - 2. a vulnerable code example
  - 3. the secured version of the code
  - 4. automated detection method (SAST tool, linting rule)
  - 5. a test case to verify the mitigation is in place. Focus on {{vulnerability_area_injection_auth_data_exposure_etc}} if a specific area is the priority

# Constraints
- Produce a complete, usable first draft in one response.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone β€” formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

When building a security hardening plan for an existing application or establishing secure defaults for a new one.

PRO TIP

Fixing injection vulnerabilities (SQLi, XSS, command injection) eliminates the most prevalent attack vectors for web applications β€” start there.
