Platform Overview
SecureCodingHub is an interactive secure coding training platform that teaches developers to identify and fix security vulnerabilities through hands-on practice. It covers 185+ vulnerability types across OWASP Web, API, Mobile, and Client-Side Top 10 categories.
What is SecureCodingHub?
SecureCodingHub provides two training modes designed to build real-world secure coding skills:
Practice Mode
Code review challenges where developers find vulnerable code blocks and select the correct fix. Available in 7 backend languages, 3 frontend frameworks, and 2 mobile platforms.
Learn Mode
Interactive step-by-step attack scenarios with a simulated browser environment. Developers walk through real-world attack chains to understand how vulnerabilities are exploited.
Supported OWASP Categories
Training content is organized across four major OWASP security standards:
| Category | Topics | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Web Top 10 | 10 modules, 50+ topics | SQL Injection, XSS, CSRF, Broken Access Control, and more |
| API Top 10 | 10 modules, 40+ topics | BOLA, Broken Authentication, Mass Assignment, SSRF, and more |
| Mobile Top 10 | 10 modules, 30+ topics | Insecure Storage, WebView Injection, Certificate Pinning, and more |
| Client-Side Top 10 | 10 modules, 40+ topics | DOM XSS, Prototype Pollution, Local Storage Secrets, and more |
Supported Languages & Frameworks
Backend Languages
Frontend Frameworks
Mobile Platforms
User Roles
SecureCodingHub has three user roles with different access levels:
| Role | Access |
|---|---|
| Platform Admin | Full access to all organizations. Can create organizations, manage SSO/SCIM configuration, and control platform-wide settings. |
| Org Admin | Manages their organization's users, teams, and assignments. Has access to the admin dashboard with analytics and progress tracking. |
| Learner | Completes practice challenges and learn scenarios. Tracks personal progress and earns XP. |

How the Two Modes Complement Each Other
Practice and Learn are not the same exercise in two formats. Practice Mode targets code-level pattern recognition: given a few lines of code, can you spot the unsafe primitive and pick the safe replacement. It is fast, repeatable, and best for building muscle memory across a wide surface of vulnerability types. A developer who has seen forty SQL injection variants in Python and TypeScript will catch the next one in a real pull request without thinking. See Practice Mode for the two-phase flow.
Learn Mode covers what Practice cannot. A code review challenge shows you a snippet, but real vulnerabilities live in the gap between two files, two services, or two layers of trust. Learn scenarios put you in front of a simulated application and walk you through the attacker's path: discovery, exploitation, impact, prevention. That context is what turns a checklist mitigation into a design instinct. Use Practice for breadth, Learn for depth. New hires usually start with one Learn scenario per category before grinding Practice in that category. See Learn Mode for scenario structure.
Why the Platform Is Structured Around Vulnerability Classes
The catalog is organized by OWASP category and vulnerability type, not by programming language. That is deliberate. Vulnerabilities are language-agnostic ideas: SQL injection is a question of how user input reaches a query plan, whether the query lives in Python, Java, or Go. A platform organized by language ends up siloing knowledge. A Python developer learning XSS in their language never sees that the same primitive appears in Vue, Angular, and React with different escaping rules. Organizing by class avoids that gap.
The stack preference system handles the language-specific surface area underneath. You pick your stack once via Stack Preferences, and every challenge defaults to a syntax you read fluently. Underneath, the same vulnerability class is taught with the same conceptual frame across all supported stacks. When you later move teams or learn a new language, the concepts transfer immediately because they were never tied to one syntax in the first place.
