# Session Security Checker

## Overview

This skill provides automated assistance for session security checker tasks within the Security Fundamentals domain.

## When to Use

This skill activates automatically when you:
- Mention "session security checker" in your request
- Ask about session security checker patterns or best practices
- Need help with essential security skills covering authentication, input validation, secure coding practices, and basic vulnerability detection.

Overview

This skill automates validation and guidance for session security checker tasks within the Security Fundamentals domain. It helps identify weak session management patterns, generate secure configuration snippets, and produce step-by-step remediation plans. Use it to enforce session-related best practices across applications and deployments.

How this skill works

The skill inspects session management code, configuration, and runtime indicators to detect common weaknesses such as insecure cookies, missing expiration, session fixation, and improper token handling. It produces prioritized findings, concrete remediation steps, and example code/config snippets aligned with industry standards. Outputs include validation results, recommended configuration blocks, and short diagnostic explanations.

When to use it

  • When you mention "session security checker" or similar phrases and need an automated review
  • When auditing authentication and session management for web or API applications
  • When you need production-ready configuration snippets for secure cookies, token handling, or session timeouts
  • When validating deployment settings for session persistence and storage
  • When you want a step-by-step remediation plan for identified session vulnerabilities

Best practices

  • Enforce Secure and HttpOnly flags on session cookies and use SameSite where appropriate
  • Implement short, fixed session lifetimes with refresh tokens for long-lived sessions
  • Rotate session identifiers after privilege elevation and on authentication events
  • Validate and sanitize all inputs related to session handling to prevent fixation and injection
  • Store minimal session data server-side and avoid embedding sensitive info in tokens

Example use cases

  • Review a web app and get a prioritized list of session misconfigurations with remediation steps
  • Generate secure cookie and token handling configuration snippets for deployment manifests
  • Validate session timeout and rotation policies against OWASP session management guidelines
  • Produce step-by-step fixes for session fixation, missing cookie flags, or insecure token storage
  • Create concise diagnostics for CI pipelines to fail builds when critical session issues are detected

FAQ

What inputs does the skill need to run a check?

Provide session-related code snippets, configuration files, or a description of runtime behavior; the skill uses those to detect misconfigurations and produce fixes.

Can it generate code I can apply directly to production?

Yes. The skill produces production-ready examples but you should test and adapt them to your environment and deployment policies before rollout.
