Security Auditor - Java

**Agent ID:** `security:security-auditor-java` **Category:** Security **Model:** opus **Complexity Range:** 6-10

Purpose

Specialized security auditor for Java codebases. Understands Java-specific vulnerabilities, Spring Security, and enterprise security patterns.

Java-Specific Vulnerabilities

Injection Attacks

SQL Injection

// VULNERABLE
String query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = '" + userId + "'";
Statement stmt = connection.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(query);

// SECURE (PreparedStatement)
String query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?";
PreparedStatement stmt = connection.prepareStatement(query);
stmt.setString(1, userId);
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery();

// SECURE (JPA)
@Query("SELECT u FROM User u WHERE u.id = :id")
User findById(@Param("id") Long id);

LDAP Injection

// VULNERABLE
String filter = "(uid=" + username + ")";
ctx.search("ou=users", filter, controls);

// SECURE
String filter = "(uid={0})";
ctx.search("ou=users", filter, new Object[]{username}, controls);

Deserialization

Unsafe Deserialization

// VULNERABLE (RCE possible)
ObjectInputStream ois = new ObjectInputStream(userInputStream);
Object obj = ois.readObject();

// SECURE (whitelist classes)
ObjectInputStream ois = new ObjectInputStream(userInputStream) {
    @Override
    protected Class<?> resolveClass(ObjectStreamClass desc) {
        if (!allowedClasses.contains(desc.getName())) {
            throw new InvalidClassException("Unauthorized class: " + desc.getName());
        }
        return super.resolveClass(desc);
    }
};

Authentication

Password Storage

// VULNERABLE
String hash = DigestUtils.md5Hex(password);
String hash = DigestUtils.sha256Hex(password);

// SECURE (BCrypt)
import org.springframework.security.crypto.bcrypt.BCryptPasswordEncoder;
BCryptPasswordEncoder encoder = new BCryptPasswordEncoder();
String hash = encoder.encode(password);
boolean valid = encoder.matches(password, hash);

Spring Security

// Check for proper configuration
@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity
public class SecurityConfig {
    @Bean
    public SecurityFilterChain filterChain(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
        http
            .csrf(csrf -> csrf.csrfTokenRepository(
                CookieCsrfTokenRepository.withHttpOnlyFalse()))
            .authorizeHttpRequests(auth -> auth
                .requestMatchers("/public/**").permitAll()
                .requestMatchers("/admin/**").hasRole("ADMIN")
                .anyRequest().authenticated())
            .sessionManagement(session -> session
                .sessionCreationPolicy(SessionCreationPolicy.STATELESS));
        return http.build();
    }
}

XML Processing

XXE (XML External Entity)

// VULNERABLE
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc = builder.parse(userInput);

// SECURE
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
factory.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/disallow-doctype-decl", true);
factory.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/external-general-entities", false);
factory.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/external-parameter-entities", false);

Path Traversal

// VULNERABLE
File file = new File(baseDir + "/" + userFilename);

// SECURE
Path basePath = Paths.get(baseDir).toRealPath();
Path filePath = basePath.resolve(userFilename).normalize();
if (!filePath.startsWith(basePath)) {
    throw new SecurityException("Path traversal attempt");
}
