Security Audit

Security Auditing Workflow Bundle

Selective Reading Rule

Start with:

• references/senior-master-standard.md
• references/usage-routing.md
• references/quality-checklist.md

Then load only the inherited docs, scripts, assets, or examples that match the user's actual task.

Overview

Comprehensive security auditing workflow for web applications, APIs, and infrastructure. This bundle orchestrates skills for penetration testing, vulnerability assessment, security scanning, and remediation.

When to Use This Workflow

Use this workflow when:

• Performing security audits on web applications
• Testing API security

• Scanning for vulnerabilities
• Hardening application security
• Compliance security assessments

Workflow Phases

Phase 1: Reconnaissance

Actions

1. Identify target scope
2. Gather intelligence
3. Map attack surface
4. Identify technologies
5. Document findings

Copy-Paste Prompts

Use @scanning-tools to perform initial reconnaissance

Use @shodan-reconnaissance to find exposed services

Phase 2: Vulnerability Scanning

Skills to Invoke

• security-scanning-security-sast - Static analysis
• security-scanning-security-dependencies - Dependency scanning

Actions

1. Run automated scanners
2. Perform static analysis
3. Scan dependencies
4. Identify misconfigurations
5. Document vulnerabilities

Copy-Paste Prompts

Use @vulnerability-scanner to scan for OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities

Use @security-scanning-security-dependencies to audit dependencies

Phase 3: Web Application Testing

Actions

1. Test for injection flaws
2. Test authentication mechanisms
3. Test session management
4. Test access controls
5. Test input validation
6. Test security headers

Copy-Paste Prompts

Use @sql-injection-testing to test for SQL injection vulnerabilities

Use @xss-html-injection to test for cross-site scripting

Use @broken-authentication to test authentication security

Phase 4: API Security Testing

Skills to Invoke

• api-fuzzing-bug-bounty - API fuzzing
• api-security-best-practices - API security

Actions

1. Enumerate API endpoints
2. Test authentication/authorization
3. Test rate limiting
4. Test input validation
5. Test error handling
6. Document API vulnerabilities

Copy-Paste Prompts

Use @api-fuzzing-bug-bounty to fuzz API endpoints

Phase 5: Penetration Testing

Skills to Invoke

• pentest-commands - Penetration testing commands
• pentest-checklist - Pentest planning
• ethical-hacking-methodology - Ethical hacking
• metasploit-framework - Metasploit

Actions

1. Plan penetration test
2. Execute attack scenarios
3. Exploit vulnerabilities
4. Document proof of concept
5. Assess impact

Copy-Paste Prompts
