A community-driven security checklist for Ruby on Rails applications covering controller callbacks, routes, views, and secret token handling. It serves as a reference document for auditing and hardening Rails apps, with newer checks tracked in GitHub issues.

Use cases

• audit a rails app for security issues
• harden ruby on rails application security
• checklist for reviewing rails security before launch
• learn common rails security pitfalls
• verify csrf and authorization protections in rails
• security review checklist for ruby on rails

When to choose

• you are building or auditing a Ruby on Rails application and want a curated list of security precautions
• you want a community-maintained starting point for Rails security reviews

When to avoid

• you need comprehensive, expert-vetted security guidance - the authors warn it is not exhaustive and was not written by security experts
• you need security tooling for non-Ruby frameworks or infrastructure-level hardening
• you need an actively updated resource - the latest release dates to 2022
