Automated Compliance: The Secure Coding Static Analysis Standard
The core engineering standard for secure software development. Map your entire fleet to OWASP Top 10 with 89 engineering-led static analysis rules.

Standardizing code quality across 100+ repos is impossible without automation. Here is the core engineering standard for secure coding, mapping your entire codebase to the OWASP Top 10 automatically.
Quick Install
npm install --save-dev eslint-plugin-secure-coding
Flat Config (ESLint 9+)
// eslint.config.js
import secureCoding from "eslint-plugin-secure-coding";
export default [secureCoding.configs.recommended];
Run ESLint
npx eslint .
You'll see output like:
src/auth.ts
15:3 error ๐ CWE-798 OWASP:A02 CVSS:7.5 | Hardcoded credential detected
Fix: Use environment variable: process.env.DATABASE_PASSWORD
src/utils.ts
42:5 error ๐ CWE-95 OWASP:A03 CVSS:9.8 | Dangerous eval() with expression
Fix: Replace eval() with safer alternatives like JSON.parse()
Available Presets
// Balanced for most projects
secureCoding.configs.recommended;
// Maximum security (all 89 rules as errors)
secureCoding.configs.strict;
// Web application compliance
secureCoding.configs["owasp-top-10"];
// Mobile apps (React Native)
secureCoding.configs["owasp-mobile-top-10"];
Rule Overview
| Category | Rules | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Injection Prevention | 11 | eval(), command injection, GraphQL |
| Cryptography | 6 | Weak hashes, random, timing attacks |
| Authentication | 3 | Hardcoded credentials, weak passwords |
| Session/Cookies | 3 | Insecure cookies, session fixation |
| Data Exposure | 5 | PII in logs, debug code, secrets |
| Input Validation | 8 | XSS, path traversal, prototype pollution |
| OWASP Mobile | 30 | Insecure storage, certificate validation |
Customizing Rules
// eslint.config.js
import secureCoding from "eslint-plugin-secure-coding";
export default [
secureCoding.configs.recommended,
// Override specific rules
{
rules: {
// Downgrade to warning
"secure-coding/no-pii-in-logs": "warn",
// Disable if not applicable
"secure-coding/detect-non-literal-fs-filename": "off",
// Configure options
"secure-coding/no-hardcoded-credentials": [
"error",
{
allowTestFiles: true,
},
],
},
},
];
Ignoring False Positives
// eslint-disable-next-line secure-coding/no-hardcoded-credentials
const EXAMPLE_KEY = "pk_test_example"; // Test fixture
Or in config:
{
files: ['**/*.test.ts'],
rules: {
'secure-coding/no-hardcoded-credentials': 'off',
},
}

Quick Reference
# Install
npm install --save-dev eslint-plugin-secure-coding
# Config (eslint.config.js)
import secureCoding from 'eslint-plugin-secure-coding';
export default [secureCoding.configs.recommended];
# Run
npx eslint .
# Fix auto-fixable issues
npx eslint . --fix
Next Steps
- Read the rules: Each rule has detailed docs with examples
- Try strict mode:
secureCoding.configs.strict - Add to CI: Block PRs with security issues
- Combine plugins: Add
eslint-plugin-pg,eslint-plugin-jwtfor specialized coverage
