Django Developers, Hello! Over at OWASP I've started a framework security project. Our goal is to capture the security posture, options and capabilities of different frameworks. Through this we can educate developers on how to enable security controls in the framework and also work with frameworks to gain adoption of any missing capabilities.
When I was leading the security team at Mozilla we worked with Django a ton. You guys have always been on the leading edge of framework security. It was an easy choice to start with Django for the OWASP framework security project. Would any of you be interested in helping out with our project? Ways to help: 1. Information gathering - we're putting together a standard list of security controls in frameworks and django's support (we'll move to other frameworks with this model). You can provide info here: https://docs.google.com/a/owasp.org/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AhSfMVkfLvsldEltRUEwMkUydVVrMkNyVW1vbGxLaXc#gid=0 - Please suggest additional security controls we should have in column A - We also need to capture if Django supports the different controls, the version added, default options, etc 2. Assistance with adding missing controls This will come later, but if we find any missing controls it would be great to understand the best way to work together to get them added. 3. Join the mailing list https://lists.owasp.org/mailman/listinfo/owasp_framework_security_project Any thoughts or ideas are welcomed. We're in the beginning and will continue to flush out the project as we go.
