Security Auditor

Security Auditor Skill

Automatic security vulnerability detection.

When I Activate

• ✅ Code files modified (especially auth, API, database)
• ✅ User mentions security or vulnerabilities
• ✅ Before deployments or commits
• ✅ Dependency changes
• ✅ Configuration file changes

What I Scan For

OWASP Top 10 Patterns

1. SQL Injection

javascriptCopy code
// CRITICAL: SQL injection
const query = `SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ${userId}`;

// SECURE: Parameterized query
const query = 'SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?';
db.query(query, [userId]);

2. XSS (Cross-Site Scripting)

javascriptCopy code
// CRITICAL: XSS vulnerability
element.innerHTML = userInput;

// SECURE: Use textContent or sanitize
element.textContent = userInput;
// or
element.innerHTML = DOMPurify.sanitize(userInput);

3. Authentication Issues

javascriptCopy code
// CRITICAL: Weak JWT secret
const token = jwt.sign(payload, 'secret123');

// SECURE: Strong secret from environment
const token = jwt.sign(payload, process.env.JWT_SECRET);

4. Sensitive Data Exposure

pythonCopy code
# CRITICAL: Exposed password
password = "admin123"

# SECURE: Environment variable
password = os.getenv("DB_PASSWORD")

5. Broken Access Control

javascriptCopy code
// CRITICAL: No authorization check
app.delete('/api/users/:id', (req, res) => {
  User.delete(req.params.id);
});

// SECURE: Authorization check
app.delete('/api/users/:id', auth, checkOwnership, (req, res) => {
  User.delete(req.params.id);
});

Additional Security Checks

• Insecure Deserialization
• Security Misconfiguration
• Insufficient Logging
• CSRF Protection Missing
• CORS Misconfiguration

Alert Format

Copy code
🚨 CRITICAL: [Vulnerability type]
📍 Location: file.js:42
🔧 Fix: [Specific remediation]
📖 Reference: [OWASP/CWE link]

Severity Levels

• 🚨 CRITICAL: Must fix immediately (exploitable vulnerabilities)
• ⚠️ HIGH: Should fix soon (security weaknesses)
• 📋 MEDIUM: Consider fixing (potential issues)
• 💡 LOW: Best practice improvements

Real-World Examples

SQL Injection Detection

javascriptCopy code
// You write:
app.get('/users', (req, res) => {
  const sql = `SELECT * FROM users WHERE name = '${req.query.name}'`;
  db.query(sql, (err, results) => res.json(results));
});

// I alert:
🚨 CRITICAL: SQL injection vulnerability (line 2)
📍 File: routes/users.js, Line 2
🔧 Fix: Use parameterized queries
  const sql = 'SELECT * FROM users WHERE name = ?';
  db.query(sql, [req.query.name], ...);

Password Storage

pythonCopy code
# You write:
def create_user(username, password):
    user = User(username=username, password=password)
    user.save()

# I alert:
🚨 CRITICAL: Storing plain text password (line 2)
📍 File: models.py, Line 2
🔧 Fix: Hash passwords before storing
  from bcrypt import hashpw, gensalt
  hashed = hashpw(password.encode(), gensalt())
  user = User(username=username, password=hashed)
📖 Use bcrypt, scrypt, or argon2 for password hashing

API Key Exposure

javascriptCopy code
// You write:
const stripe = require('stripe')('sk_live_abc123...');

// I alert:
🚨 CRITICAL: Hardcoded API key detected (line 1)
📍 File: payment.js, Line 1
🔧 Fix: Use environment variables
  const stripe = require('stripe')(process.env.STRIPE_SECRET_KEY);
📖 Never commit API keys to version control

Dependency Scanning

I can run security audits on dependencies:

bashCopy code
# Node.js
npm audit

# Python
pip-audit

# Results flagged with severity

Relationship with @code-reviewer Sub-Agent

Me (Skill): Quick vulnerability pattern detection @code-reviewer (Sub-Agent): Deep security audit with threat modeling

Workflow

1. I detect vulnerability pattern
2. I flag: "🚨 SQL injection detected"
3. You want full analysis → Invoke @code-reviewer sub-agent
4. Sub-agent provides comprehensive security audit

Common Vulnerability Patterns

Authentication

• Weak password policies
• Missing MFA
• Session fixation
• Insecure password storage

Authorization

• Missing access control
• Privilege escalation
• IDOR (Insecure Direct Object Reference)

Data Protection

• Unencrypted sensitive data
• Weak encryption algorithms
• Missing HTTPS
• Insecure cookies

Input Validation

• SQL injection
• Command injection
• XSS
• Path traversal

Sandboxing Compatibility

Works without sandboxing: ✅ Yes Works with sandboxing: ✅ Yes

Optional: For dependency scanning

jsonCopy code
{
  "network": {
    "allowedDomains": [
      "registry.npmjs.org",
      "pypi.org",
      "api.github.com"
    ]
  }
}

Integration with Tools

With secret-scanner Skill

Copy code
security-auditor: Checks code patterns
secret-scanner: Checks for exposed secrets
Together: Comprehensive security coverage

With /review Command

bashCopy code
/review --scope staged --checks security

# Workflow:
# 1. My automatic security findings
# 2. @code-reviewer sub-agent deep audit
# 3. Comprehensive security report

Customization

Add company-specific security patterns:

bashCopy code
cp -r ~/.claude/skills/security/security-auditor \
      ~/.claude/skills/security/company-security-auditor

# Edit SKILL.md to add:
# - Internal API patterns
# - Company security policies
# - Custom vulnerability checks
