AboutThe OWASP Java™ and JVM Technology Knowledge Base is the clearing house for all information related to building secure web/distributed applications and services based on Java and JVM technologies. The focus of these pages is on guidance for developers and architects using Java frameworks and JVM based technologies for web application development, on OWASP components that use Java and on participation in OWASP projects that use Java and JVM technologies. Moreover, we aim to provide security related guidance for system administrators managing Java and JVM based applications and tools. The project is not limited to Java. It aims to also address topics around the JVM in general. Community content is key to security information. The project depends on content from developers throughout the Java and JVM ecosystem.

Tools Chain
OWASP SonarQube Project | |
The first goal of the OWASP SonarQube Project is to a create a referential of check specifications targetting OWASP vulnerabilities and that can be detected by SAST tools (Static Application Security Testing). From there, the second goal is to provide a reference implementations of most of those checks in the Open Source SonarQube language analysers (Java, JavaScript, PHP and C#). SonarQube is an Open Source platform for managing code quality. | |
OWASP Dependency Check | |
Dependency-Check is a utility that identifies project dependencies and checks if there are any known, publicly disclosed, vulnerabilities. Currently Java, .NET, Ruby, Node.js, and Python projects are supported. |
Libraries
OWASP Java HTML Sanitizer | |
The OWASP HTML Sanitizer is a fast and easy to configure HTML Sanitizer written in Java which lets you include HTML authored by third-parties in your web application while protecting against XSS. | |
OWASP Java Encoder Project | |
The OWASP Java Encoder is a Java 1.5+ simple-to-use drop-in high-performance encoder class with no dependencies and little baggage. This project will help Java web developers defend against Cross Site Scripting. |

[ESAPI Project Java Implementation] | |||
The Java and Java EE implementation of ESAPI Project is outdated and integrates various security issues, according to the bug tracker. It is strongly recommended to not employ this library in production code anymore and use alternative OWASP libraries instead. It still is useful for learning purposes. | [Tracker] |
Ongoing Operations
Wiki Pages Review Operation - 2015/2016 | |
General review of all Java and JVM related pages in the wiki. |
Upcoming Operations
None at the moment. Everything is ongoing or in early idea state.
Java and JVM security related net resources guide | |
The OWASP Java and JVM Technology Knowledge Base is principally about creating deep, rich guidance for Java and JVM developers using all kind of security resources. The idea is to have an effort of building a internet resource guide for everything arounf the JVM universe. Information, blogs, articles, tools, test servers and more. Important however is that this list is seriously curated. | |
Concrete guidline for Java and JVM developers | |
Clear checklists, around various topics, language, servers and frameworks. |
Archived Operations
None at the moment.
The first step would be to establish contact with the project leaders and/or the entire team. This can be done using a direct and private message, or by joining the public mailing list to say hello.
When it comes to participating in project activities, everything depends on the time you are willing and able to invest. It is however very important to not jump into too many things at the beginning, later having to back out or to let unfinished things behind you. It is much better to start with small tasks, increasing intensity and investment over time.
Please also be patient with expecting the "merge" of your work into the existing project pages and code. As everywhere in live, trust has to be built-up.
The Java and JVM knowledge base has currently multiple tasks open, which can be found on the adequate section of this page. Not all tasks require a wiki account. Please take something you are interested in and start participating. Work load is not the only outcome when participating in open projects. You are getting a lot of things back: recognition, satisfaction, knowledge and contacts, sometime friends.
Sounds cool? Then jump in...

IMPORTANT: all pages of these project are currently under review. A lot are outdated and are in the process of being removed or updated. The review effort is coordinated on this page: Wiki Pages Review Operation - 2015/2016.
