## What it is
The OWASP Community Pages repository, which hosts community-contributed application security content published at owasp.org/www-community. It contains articles on attacks (XSS, CSRF, SQL injection) and controls (CSP, SRI, cookie hardening) maintained via fork-and-pull contributions.

## Use cases
- learn about web application security attacks like XSS and CSRF
- find prevention techniques for SQL injection and command injection
- reference security controls such as Content Security Policy and Subresource Integrity
- contribute security documentation to OWASP
- understand session management and cookie security best practices
- research credential stuffing and brute force defenses

## When to choose
- you need authoritative, community-reviewed explanations of appsec attacks and defenses
- you want to contribute or update security documentation under the OWASP umbrella
- you are training developers on secure coding concepts

## When to avoid
- you need runnable security tooling or code rather than written guidance
- you need formal standards like the OWASP Top 10 or ASVS (separate projects)
- you require a license-clarified codebase for redistribution

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: documentation, security
- domain: security, developer-tools, web-development
- platform: -
- tags: owasp, appsec, community-content, security-knowledge-base, jekyll-site, web-server
