review-security
Review application and infrastructure changes for exploitable security risks by tracing assets, trust boundaries, attacker-controlled input, authorization, sensitive data, and dangerous sinks. Use for security reviews, threat-focused PR reviews, authentication or authorization changes, input handling, secrets, dependencies, and infrastructure permissions; do not use to exploit live systems or modify code unless separately requested.

# Review Security
## Workflow
1. Establish the review target, intended behavior, and relevant threat model.
2. Identify assets, trust boundaries, actors, entry points, and sensitive operations.
3. Trace attacker-controlled data to security-relevant sinks.
4. Inspect authentication, authorization, tenant isolation, and privilege changes.
5. Evaluate realistic exploitability and existing controls.
6. Validate suspected findings safely with read-only analysis or sandboxed tests when authorized.
7. Return prioritized findings with evidence, impact, prerequisites, and remediation direction.
## Guardrails
