A focused knowledge base for application security and secure software engineering. The content is limited to topics I have studied, validated, and can explain with confidence. Articles may be refined as my understanding and practical experience improve.

Understand how common vulnerability classes arise, which trust boundary fails, what attacker capabilities are required, how impact should be validated, and how to avoid common false positives.
Browse vulnerability topics →Secure Code
Study secure design and implementation patterns for the same vulnerability classes, with emphasis on authorization, fail-closed behavior, context-aware encoding, validation, and WordPress-specific controls.
