Quick Answer Python web security: CSRF protection (Django includes this, use csrf_token in forms). SQL injection: always use ORM or parameterized queries. XSS: template engines auto-escape (don't use mark_safe() with user input). Authentication: use Django auth or established JWT libraries. HTTPS only. Keep dependencies updated (pip-audit checks for CVEs). Rate limiting on login endpoints. CORS configuration.
