aeon-vuln-scanner
A scanner that dumps zero-days into public PRs isn't a helper — it's a publisher. This skill triages every finding by reading the code and routes to the right disclosure channel.
Inputs
| Param | Description |
|---|---|
var | Optional owner/repo. If empty, auto-picks from chained github-trending output or fresh trending API. |
Target selection
- Language: JS/TS, Python, Go, Rust, or Solidity.
- ≥ 50 stars, not a fork, active in last 6 months.
- Handles untrusted input (auth, crypto, network, file I/O, templating).
- Skip: intentionally vulnerable teaching repos (juice-shop, webgoat, *-ctf).
- Skip if no PVR enabled AND no
SECURITY.md— no safe channel. - Skip if scanned in last 30 days (dedup via
vuln-scanned.json).
Scanners
bash# Static analysis semgrep --config=p/security-audit --config=p/owasp-top-ten --config=p/secrets \ --severity=ERROR --severity=WARNING --json --timeout=300 \ --exclude=test --exclude=examples --exclude=node_modules . # Verified secrets (filesystem + git history) trufflehog filesystem . --only-verified --json trufflehog git file://. --only-verified --json # Dependency CVEs across npm/pip/go/cargo/etc osv-scanner --format=json --recursive . # Solidity (if .sol files present) slither . --json out.json --exclude-informational --exclude-low
All-scanners-failed reports error, never clean.
Triage (per candidate)
- Open the file at the reported line. Read 30-50 lines of context.
- Write one sentence: what attacker controls, what they achieve. Can't? Discard.
- Check the call path — reachable from external input in production code?
- Drop if in tests, fixtures, examples, behind a feature flag, or requires attacker privs ≥ what's gained.
Disclosure routing
| Finding | Channel |
|---|---|
| Dependency CVE | Public PR bumping the dep — CVE already public. |
| Code vulnerability | PVR — publishing creates a zero-day. |
| Verified leaked secret | PVR + rotation request. |
| Smart-contract bug | PVR — on-chain exploitation often immediate. |
| No PVR + no SECURITY.md | Skip and log. Do no harm. |
bash# PVR (private advisory) gh api -X POST "/repos/$REPO/security-advisories" \ -f summary="..." -f severity="..." -F cwe_ids='["CWE-89"]' -f description="..."
Proposed patches for code flaws go to your fork only (private/fix-<slug> branch). Never open a public PR for an unpatched code flaw — link the SHA in the advisory body so the maintainer can cherry-pick.
Required scopes
GH_TOKEN with repo + repository_advisories:write (for PVR).
Rules
- Do no harm. No safe channel → no publication.
- Read the code. A scanner hit alone isn't a vulnerability.
- One report per repo per run; bundle related findings.
- Skip intentionally vulnerable repos and CTFs.
- Be deferential — you're offering help, not grading homework.
