Looking at the discussion in https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/8511 , I got thinking that there aren't good resources for developers to learn what is bad "security" design. Perhaps it would be a good idea to showcase common "bad" security decisions by example, or as stories. It would be very memorable to show, for example, how doing CSRF protection on each individual action is error-prone, or how doing sanitization manually on every input is error prone too. Something like The Daily WTF but for security vulnerabilities. Does anyone know of a public collection of vulnerability root causes (with developers as target audience) out there? I realize there are public pentest reports, but they are usually focused on the vulnerability discoverer more than the developer's point of view. And the examples in sites like OWASP are very artificial, and not real stories. Any pointers? Thanks
