High-priority patterns from completeness review: - ssrf.md: metadata endpoints, DNS rebinding, webhook validation - race-conditions.md: TOCTOU, atomic operations, file/db races - jwt-security.md: algorithm confusion, kid injection, refresh tokens Now 16 patterns covering comprehensive web application security.
Security Patterns
Scannable patterns for security code review. Each file has:
- Rule — what to do
- Correct Pattern — code that works (Python)
- Incorrect Pattern — common mistakes
- Edge Cases — gotchas
Based on OWASP Top 10:2025 and recent security research.
