Core Security Expertise

1. Python-Specific Security Vulnerabilities

Code Injection Risks

# CRITICAL: Never use eval/exec with user input
# Bad
result = eval(user_input)

# Good: Use AST for safe evaluation
import ast
result = ast.literal_eval(user_input)  # Only for literals

Pickle Deserialization

# CRITICAL: Pickle is unsafe with untrusted data
# Bad
import pickle
data = pickle.loads(untrusted_data)  # Remote code execution risk

# Good: Use JSON or other safe formats
import json
data = json.loads(untrusted_data)

SQL Injection Prevention

# Bad: String formatting in queries
query = f"SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = {user_id}"

# Good: Parameterized queries
query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = :id"
result = db.execute(text(query), {"id": user_id})

Command Injection

# Bad: Shell execution with user input
import os
os.system(f"ls {user_path}")

# Good: Use subprocess with shell=False
import subprocess
subprocess.run(["ls", user_path], shell=False)

Path Traversal

# Bad: Direct path concatenation
file_path = f"/uploads/{filename}"

# Good: Validate and sanitize paths
from pathlib import Path

def safe_join(base_dir: Path, filename: str) -> Path:
    base = base_dir.resolve()
    target = (base / filename).resolve()
    if not target.is_relative_to(base):
        raise ValueError("Path traversal detected")
    return target

2. Modern Authentication & Authorization

JWT Security Best Practices

from jose import jwt, JWTError
from datetime import datetime, timedelta

# Secure JWT configuration
JWT_CONFIG = {
    "algorithm": "RS256",  # Use asymmetric algorithms
    "access_token_expire_minutes": 15,  # Short-lived tokens
    "refresh_token_expire_days": 7,
}

def create_access_token(data: dict) -> str:
    to_encode = data.copy()
    expire = datetime.utcnow() + timedelta(minutes=JWT_CONFIG["access_token_expire_minutes"])
    to_encode.update({"exp": expire, "type": "access"})
    return jwt.encode(to_encode, PRIVATE_KEY, algorithm=JWT_CONFIG["algorithm"])

def verify_token(token: str) -> dict:
    try:
        payload = jwt.decode(
            token,
            PUBLIC_KEY,
            algorithms=[JWT_CONFIG["algorithm"]],
            options={"require_exp": True}
        )
        return payload
    except JWTError:
        raise InvalidTokenError()

OAuth2 Implementation

from authlib.integrations.starlette_client import OAuth
from fastapi import Depends, HTTPException
from fastapi.security import OAuth2AuthorizationCodeBearer

oauth = OAuth()
oauth.register(
    name='google',
    client_id=settings.GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID,
    client_secret=settings.GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET,
    server_metadata_url='https://accounts.google.com/.well-known/openid-configuration',
    client_kwargs={'scope': 'openid email profile'}
)

Role-Based Access Control

from enum import Enum
from functools import wraps

class Permission(Enum):
    READ = "read"
    WRITE = "write"
    ADMIN = "admin"

def require_permission(permission: Permission):
    def decorator(func):
        @wraps(func)
        async def wrapper(*args, current_user: User = Depends(get_current_user), **kwargs):
            if not current_user.has_permission(permission):
                raise HTTPException(status_code=403, detail="Insufficient permissions")
            return await func(*args, current_user=current_user, **kwargs)
        return wrapper
    return decorator

3. OWASP & Vulnerability Management

Input Validation with Pydantic

from pydantic import BaseModel, Field, EmailStr, validator
import re

class UserCreateRequest(BaseModel):
    email: EmailStr
    username: str = Field(min_length=3, max_length=50, pattern=r'^[a-zA-Z0-9_]+$')
    password: str = Field(min_length=12)

    @validator('password')
    def validate_password(cls, v):
        if not re.search(r'[A-Z]', v):
            raise ValueError('Password must contain uppercase letter')
        if not re.search(r'[a-z]', v):
            raise ValueError('Password must contain lowercase letter')
        if not re.search(r'\d', v):
            raise ValueError('Password must contain digit')
        if not re.search(r'[!@#$%^&*]', v):
            raise ValueError('Password must contain special character')
        return v

        args: ['--baseline', '.secrets.baseline']

6. Secure Configuration Management

Environment and Secrets

from pydantic_settings import BaseSettings, SettingsConfigDict
from pydantic import SecretStr

class SecuritySettings(BaseSettings):
    model_config = SettingsConfigDict(
        env_file='.env',
        env_file_encoding='utf-8',
        extra='ignore'
    )

    # Secrets as SecretStr to prevent logging
    database_url: SecretStr
    jwt_secret_key: SecretStr
    api_key: SecretStr

    # Security settings
    cors_origins: list[str] = []
    allowed_hosts: list[str] = ["*"]
    debug: bool = False

settings = SecuritySettings()

# Access secret value
db_url = settings.database_url.get_secret_value()

Security Headers Middleware

from fastapi import FastAPI
from starlette.middleware.base import BaseHTTPMiddleware

class SecurityHeadersMiddleware(BaseHTTPMiddleware):
    async def dispatch(self, request, call_next):
        response = await call_next(request)
        response.headers["X-Content-Type-Options"] = "nosniff"
        response.headers["X-Frame-Options"] = "DENY"
        response.headers["X-XSS-Protection"] = "1; mode=block"
        response.headers["Strict-Transport-Security"] = "max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains"
        response.headers["Content-Security-Policy"] = "default-src 'self'"
        response.headers["Referrer-Policy"] = "strict-origin-when-cross-origin"
        return response

app = FastAPI()
app.add_middleware(SecurityHeadersMiddleware)

7. Cryptography Best Practices

Password Hashing

from passlib.context import CryptContext

pwd_context = CryptContext(
    schemes=["argon2", "bcrypt"],
    default="argon2",
    argon2__memory_cost=65536,
    argon2__time_cost=3,
    argon2__parallelism=4
)

def hash_password(password: str) -> str:
    return pwd_context.hash(password)

def verify_password(plain_password: str, hashed_password: str) -> bool:
    return pwd_context.verify(plain_password, hashed_password)

Encryption

from cryptography.fernet import Fernet
from cryptography.hazmat.primitives import hashes
from cryptography.hazmat.primitives.kdf.pbkdf2 import PBKDF2HMAC
import base64
import secrets

def generate_key() -> bytes:
    return Fernet.generate_key()

def encrypt_data(data: bytes, key: bytes) -> bytes:
    f = Fernet(key)
    return f.encrypt(data)

def decrypt_data(encrypted_data: bytes, key: bytes) -> bytes:
    f = Fernet(key)
    return f.decrypt(encrypted_data)

# Secure random token generation
def generate_secure_token(length: int = 32) -> str:
    return secrets.token_urlsafe(length)

8. Logging and Monitoring

Secure Logging

import structlog
import re

def sanitize_sensitive_data(_, __, event_dict):
    """Remove or mask sensitive data from logs"""
    sensitive_keys = {'password', 'token', 'api_key', 'secret', 'authorization'}

    for key in list(event_dict.keys()):
        if any(s in key.lower() for s in sensitive_keys):
            event_dict[key] = '***REDACTED***'

    # Mask credit card numbers
    if 'message' in event_dict:
        event_dict['message'] = re.sub(
            r'\b\d{4}[\s-]?\d{4}[\s-]?\d{4}[\s-]?\d{4}\b',
            '****-****-****-****',
            str(event_dict['message'])
        )

    return event_dict

structlog.configure(
    processors=[
        sanitize_sensitive_data,
        structlog.processors.TimeStamper(fmt="iso"),
        structlog.processors.JSONRenderer()
    ]
)
