Security Audit Skill

Purpose

Comprehensive security scanning and vulnerability detection. Includes input validation, path traversal prevention, CVE detection, and secure coding pattern enforcement.

When to Trigger

• authentication implementation
• authorization logic
• payment processing
• user data handling
• API endpoint creation
• file upload handling
• database queries
• external API integration

When to Skip

• read-only operations on public data
• internal development tooling
• static documentation
• styling changes

Commands

Full Security Scan

Run comprehensive security analysis on the codebase

npx @claude-flow/cli security scan --depth full

Example:

npx @claude-flow/cli security scan --depth full --output security-report.json

Input Validation Check

Check for input validation issues

npx @claude-flow/cli security scan --check input-validation

Example:

npx @claude-flow/cli security scan --check input-validation --path ./src/api

Path Traversal Check

Check for path traversal vulnerabilities

npx @claude-flow/cli security scan --check path-traversal

SQL Injection Check

Check for SQL injection vulnerabilities

npx @claude-flow/cli security scan --check sql-injection

XSS Check

Check for cross-site scripting vulnerabilities

npx @claude-flow/cli security scan --check xss

CVE Scan

Scan dependencies for known CVEs

npx @claude-flow/cli security cve --scan

Example:

npx @claude-flow/cli security cve --scan --severity high

Security Audit Report

Generate full security audit report

npx @claude-flow/cli security audit --report

Example:

npx @claude-flow/cli security audit --report --format markdown --output SECURITY.md

Threat Modeling

Run threat modeling analysis

npx @claude-flow/cli security threats --analyze

Validate Secrets

Check for hardcoded secrets

npx @claude-flow/cli security validate --check secrets

Best Practices

1. Check memory for existing patterns before starting
2. Use hierarchical topology for coordination
3. Store successful patterns after completion
4. Document any new learnings
