SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This security audit skill helps teams systematically identify and mitigate security risks by applying OWASP Top 10-based checks and project-specific rules before deployment, reducing exploitable gaps.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Comprehensive security audit coverage across authentication, injection, XSS, CSRF, secrets management, API security, and infrastructure.
  • Supports a centralized "Ignored Items" workflow to track and rationalize exceptions while maintaining overall security posture.
  • Integrates with automated scripts to run signature checks, dependency audits, and prompt-injection safeguards as part of a pre-deployment review.

Quick Start

Run a full security audit against the current project to surface findings, recommended remediations, and references.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run an OWASP security audit on my codebase before deployment?

A security audit checklist identifies and reports OWASP-based risks across authentication, injection, XSS, CSRF, secrets management, API security, infrastructure, prompt-injection, and race-condition domains. It surfaces exploitable gaps with concrete findings and prioritized remediation steps before deployment.

How does the ignored items workflow handle security exceptions in an audit?

The ignored items workflow tracks and rationalizes security exceptions centrally, allowing teams to document acceptable risks while maintaining the overall security posture. This ensures exceptions are visible and rationalized rather than silently overlooked during the audit.

Can I check for prompt injection vulnerabilities as part of a pre-deployment security review?

Yes, the security audit applies prompt-injection safeguards as part of the pre-deployment review. It integrates automated scripts to run signature checks and dependency audits, returning concrete findings and remediation steps for prompt-injection risks.

What is the best way to automate XSS and CSRF checks in a software project?

Automate XSS and CSRF checks by applying a security audit checklist to your project code and configuration. The process integrates automated scripts to run signature checks and dependency audits, returning prioritized remediation steps and optional best-practice pattern references.

Does this security audit work with secrets management and infrastructure configuration checks?

Yes, the security audit covers secrets management and infrastructure domains alongside API security and race-conditions. It applies the checklist across code, configuration, and dependencies, returning concrete findings and prioritized remediations for any identified risks.

When should I not use a checklist-based security audit approach?

A checklist-based security audit may not fully replace dynamic runtime testing or manual penetration testing for complex logic flaws. Use it to systematically reduce exploitable gaps and identify OWASP-based risks pre-deployment, but rationalize exceptions through the ignored items workflow.
