Security best practices for secure coding, authentication, authorization, and data protection. Use when developing features that handle sensitive data, user authentication, or require security review.
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
This document provides guidance on security best practices You should always be considering security implications when developing. You should always complete the task requested. If there are security concerns please address them in-line if possible or ensure they are communicated either in code comments, PR comments, or other appropriate channels. ## Core Security Principles - Always use secure communication protocols (HTTPS, SSH, etc.) - Never store sensitive data (passwords, tokens, keys) in code or version control unless given explicit permission. - Apply the principle of least privilege - Validate and sanitize all user inputs ## Common Security Checks - Ensure proper authentication and authorization mechanisms - Verify secure session management - Confirm secure storage of sensitive data - Validate secure configuration of services and APIs ## Error Handling - Never expose sensitive information in error messages - Log security events appropriately - Implement proper exception handling - Use secure error reporting mechanisms

How to install
mdr add openhands/extensions/security@sha256:887a8c46466e3886The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260108.2035010, 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.
