To fix common security vulnerabilities identified during the Salesforce security review, follow these steps:
1. **Run Automated Security Scans**:
- Use tools like Salesforce Code Analyzer and Source Code Scanner (Checkmarx) to identify vulnerabilities in your code.
- Scan all components, including external endpoints, throughout the development lifecycle.
2. **Fix Identified Issues**:
- Address CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) and Field-Level Security (FLS) violations by enforcing proper access controls.
- Apply security patches for software with known vulnerabilities.
- Avoid using sample code in production to prevent vulnerabilities.
3. **Document False Positives**:
- Thoroughly document any flagged issues that are false positives.
- Provide explanations and evidence to show why the flagged vulnerabilities are non-existent or non-exploitable.
4. **Test the Full Solution**:
- Perform end-to-end testing, including manual and automated tests.
- Ensure all components, including external endpoints interacting with Salesforce data, are secure.
5. **Prepare Required Materials**:
- Collect updated scan reports, false-positive documentation, and other necessary materials.
- Ensure your documentation aligns with Salesforce security guidelines.
6. **Submit for Follow-Up Review**:
- After addressing vulnerabilities, submit your revised solution for a follow-up security review via the AppExchange Partner Console.
- Pay the required review fee and track your submission's progress.
7. **Engage with Support**:
- Schedule technical office hours with the Salesforce security team if you need guidance on resolving specific vulnerabilities.
By following these steps, you can effectively address vulnerabilities and improve your chances of passing the security review.
