๐งช Secure Coding Review Labs and Language-Specific Checklists
Intro: The KB already includes vulnerable-versus-safer code examples by language. This pack turns those examples into something more useful for training and review operations: guided labs, facilitator prompts, and language-specific checklists that engineering managers, security champions, and reviewers can use repeatedly.
What this pack includes
- a facilitator guide for running short secure-coding review labs;
- language-specific review checklists;
- a scenario pack that converts the snippet pages into exercises;
- cross-links to the existing vulnerable/safer example pages by language.
Start here
| Page | Why use it |
|---|---|
| Secure Coding Review Labs โ Facilitator Guide | Run 20โ60 minute review sessions that feel like real engineering work instead of compliance theatre. |
| Language-Specific Secure Coding Review Checklists | Use stack-aware review questions for PRs, design reviews, and onboarding. |
| Secure Coding Review Lab Scenarios by Language | Turn the vulnerable/safer examples into practical exercises with expected outcomes. |

- interview or assessment packs for engineering security literacy.
Delivery rule for this pack
This pack is designed to be:
- small enough to run in normal engineering cadence;
- realistic enough to improve review behavior;
- repeatable enough to become a program habit.
