Security Audit Scanner

Security Audit Scanner (v2.0.0)

Overview

Automated security scanning and audit automation for Vigil Guard v2.0.0 covering OWASP Top 10, secret detection (TruffleHog), npm/pip vulnerability scanning, 3-branch service security, and 11-service architecture validation.

When to Use This Skill

• Running security audits
• Detecting secrets in codebase
• Scanning for vulnerabilities (npm audit, pip audit)
• 3-branch service security validation (v2.0.0)
• Heuristics-service pattern security audit
• OWASP Top 10 compliance checking
• Pre-commit security validation
• CI/CD security pipeline

v2.0.0 Architecture Security

11 Services to Secure

Core Services:
  - clickhouse (database, credentials)
  - grafana (dashboard, authentication)
  - n8n (workflow, webhooks)

3-Branch Detection (v2.0.0):
  - heuristics-service (pattern files, port 5005)
  - semantic-service (model files, port 5006)
  - prompt-guard-api (LLM model, port 8000)

PII Detection:
  - presidio-pii-api (spaCy models)
  - language-detector (no auth needed)

Web Interface:
  - web-ui-backend (JWT, sessions)
  - web-ui-frontend (CORS, CSP)
  - proxy (TLS, rate limiting)

3-Branch Security Considerations

Branch A (Heuristics):
  - Pattern injection in unified_config.json
  - ReDoS in regex patterns
  - Path traversal in pattern loading

Branch B (Semantic):
  - Model poisoning
  - Embedding manipulation
  - Vector database injection

Branch C (LLM Guard):
  - Prompt injection to LLM Guard itself
  - Model extraction attempts
  - Inference-time attacks

OWASP Top 10 Coverage (v2.0.0)

1. Broken Access Control

Check:

# Verify RBAC implementation
grep -r "requirePermission" services/web-ui/backend/src/

# Test 3-branch service access (v2.0.0)
curl http://localhost:5005/analyze  # Should require internal network
curl http://localhost:5006/analyze  # Should require internal network
curl http://localhost:8000/analyze  # Should require internal network

Integration Points

With vigil-security-patterns:

when: Security issue detected
action:
  1. Reference security-patterns skill for fix
  2. Implement recommended pattern
  3. Re-run security audit

With heuristics-service:

when: Pattern security audit
action:
  1. Check unified_config.json for ReDoS
  2. Validate pattern loading security
  3. Test for injection vulnerabilities
