title: OWASP Top 10 Compliance
description: JustAPI's compliance status against OWASP Top 10 (2021) security categories — a secure FastAPI alternative built in Rust.
keywords: OWASP Top 10, security compliance, FastAPI alternative, Rust web framework, web security
A01: Broken Access Control
- ✅ Route-level access via middleware chain (JwtAuth, custom auth)
- ✅ CORS middleware with configurable
allow_origin - Per-route authorization middleware
- Rate limiting per authenticated user
A02: Cryptographic Failures
- ✅ TLS via rustls (TLS 1.2/1.3 only, no legacy protocols)
- ✅ HSTS header with configurable
max-age - ✅ JWT signing with HS256/RS256/ES256
- ✅ Secrets management (env/file/inline, no logging)
- Key rotation without restart (hot-reload)
A03: Injection
- ✅ SQL injection prevention: parameterized queries via
sqlx - ✅ JSON Schema validation rejects unexpected types
- ✅ XSS prevention via CSP headers
- ✅ Content-Type sniffing prevention:
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff - HTML sanitization for user-rendered content
A04: Insecure Design
- ✅ Rate limiting: global and per-IP
- ✅ Circuit breaker pattern
- ✅ Timeout middleware (504 Gateway Timeout)
- ✅ Graceful degradation via FallbackMiddleware
- ✅ Bulkhead pattern for concurrent request limiting
- ✅ Graceful shutdown (SIGTERM → drain → stop)
- Request body depth limits
A05: Security Misconfiguration
- ✅ CORS with configurable origins, methods, headers
- ✅ Security headers (X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, HSTS, CSP)
- ✅ Non-root user in Docker image
- ✅ HEALTHCHECK in Dockerfile
- Automated security header check in CI
A06: Vulnerable and Outdated Components
- ✅
cargo-auditin CI (vulnerability scanning) - ✅
cargo-denyin CI (license + advisory checks) - ✅ Dependabot for automated dependency updates
- ✅ Supply chain: lockfile committed,
deny.tomlconfigured - Trivy scanning for Docker image vulnerabilities
A07: Identification and Authentication Failures
- ✅ JWT authentication middleware
- ✅ OAuth2/OIDC support via custom middleware
- Multi-factor authentication support
A08: Software and Data Integrity Failures
- ✅ Supply chain: lockfile, cargo-deny, Dependabot
- CI/CD pipeline signing (sigstore/cosign)
- Plugin signature verification
A09: Security Logging and Monitoring Failures
- ✅ Structured logging (JSON or text format)
- ✅ Audit logging middleware
- ✅ Prometheus metrics with latency histograms
- ✅ Health check endpoints (/health, /live, /ready)
- ✅ Alerting: Slack, PagerDuty, Generic webhook
- ✅ OpenTelemetry tracing integration
A10: Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)
- URL validation middleware for outbound requests
- Allow-list of outbound hosts
Legend
- ✅ Implemented
- Planned / not yet implemented
