Summary

In this chapter, we discussed some common application security vulnerabilities including SQL injection, XSS, and security misconfigurations. We also talked about how to find these types of vulnerabilities in your code, along with some places where you can practice to grow your skills.

We installed Puma Scan and saw the power of finding security vulnerabilities as we type right in Visual Studio. Lastly, we talked about using custom Puma Scan sinks to extend the capabilities of the Puma Scan tool, and how to integrate it into a DecSecOps pipeline.

In the next chapter, we will cover some other popular productivity extensions for Visual Studio and will see how we can use them to speed up our development and make our applications better.
