Vuln Scan

Vulnerability Scan

Review one dependency surface or project scope and produce a bounded security packet. This skill is for operator-facing risk analysis, remediation planning, and advisory drafting. It is not a license to run arbitrary destructive scans.

Keep the output practical: what is affected, how serious it is, what to do next, and whether a public advisory is justified.

Quality Profile

• Purpose: turn one bounded dependency or ecosystem risk surface into a remediation and advisory decision.
• Audience: maintainers, operators, and affected users who need clear risk and next steps.
• Artifact contract: inventory, advisories, remediation plan, operator summary, advisory draft, maintainer summary, and disclosure checklist as appropriate.
• Evidence bar: cite package data, versions, advisories, scan output, commits, or public references. Separate confirmed exposure from possible risk.
• Voice bar: calm security writing. No alarmism, no vague severity claims, and no public advisory language unless disclosure evidence supports it.
• Strategic bar: help the operator decide whether to patch, disclose, monitor, escalate, or stop.
• Stop conditions: return needs_more_evidence, needs_human, or do_not_publish_advisory when exposure, affected versions, or disclosure posture cannot be verified.

Output

Scan runner:

• dependency_inventory: affected components and versions.
• advisories: findings with severity, exposure, and evidence.
• remediation_plan: concrete next actions.
• operator_summary: concise decision-ready summary.

Advisory runner:

• advisory_draft: public or maintainer-facing advisory text.
• maintainer_summary: concise summary for repo owners.
• disclosure_checklist: what to verify before public release.

Inputs

• target (required): repo, lockfile, package set, or ecosystem slice.
• objective (optional): what the operator wants from this scan.
• scan_context (optional): known packages, incidents, or prior findings.
• advisories (optional): structured findings from the scan runner.
• remediation_plan (optional): structured remediation plan for the advisory pass.
