Guideline for designing, implementing, and verifying secure Python applications following OWASP Top 10 best practices. Use when the user wants to: (1) review Python code for security vulnerabilities, (2) design a secure Python application architecture, (3) implement security features (authentication, authorization, cryptography, input validation), (4) audit Python dependencies for known vulnerabilities, (5) create security checklists or verification plans, (6) fix security bugs or harden…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Python Security Development Guide

Provide a structured approach to building secure Python applications, covering the OWASP Top 10, secure coding patterns, and verification checklists. Apply these guidelines throughout the secure development lifecycle — from threat modeling through deployment.

## Secure Development Lifecycle

### Phase 1: Threat Modeling and Secure Design

Before writing code, identify and mitigate threats at the design level:

- **Identify trust boundaries** — Map where untrusted data enters the system (HTTP requests, file uploads, database reads, environment variables, third-party APIs)
- **Map data flows** — Trace sensitive data (credentials, PII, tokens) through the system and verify protection at each stage
- **Enumerate entry points** — List all routes, endpoints, CLI arguments, message queue consumers, and cron jobs
- **Map attack surfaces to OWASP Top 10** — Cross-reference each entry point against the OWASP categories in the quick reference table below

Design with security controls built-in:

- Centralized authentication and authorization middleware — never scatter auth checks across handlers

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jim60105/copilot-prompt/python-security@sha256:61d0fcb5b6d0035d

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260928.6911cf8, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
