SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires grep, git, npm, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Security teams and developers struggle to perform thorough, repeatable security reviews before deployment. This Skill provides an OWASP Top 10-aligned security audit checklist that covers authentication, injection, XSS, CSRF, secrets management, API security, and more, enabling faster, safer releases.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • OWASP Top 10-aligned checks for authentication, injections, XSS, CSRF, secrets management, API security, and more.
  • Centralized audit workflow with an ignore mechanism via .ai-factory/SECURITY.md to tailor audits for team needs.
  • Includes a ready-to-run audit script (scripts/audit.sh) that performs hardcoded secrets checks, gitignore validation, npm audit, console.log detection, and security TODO scanning to surface actionable remediation steps.
  • Use cases: pre-deployment security reviews, baseline security provisioning for new projects, and CI-integrated security health checks.

Quick Start

Run the automated security audit against your project to generate a prioritized list of findings and recommended remediations.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run an OWASP Top 10 security audit before deployment?

Run an OWASP Top 10 security audit using an automated script to validate authentication, injection, XSS, and CSRF controls. The script scans for hardcoded secrets, checks gitignore, runs npm audit, and detects security TODOs to surface actionable remediation steps.

What is the best way to detect hardcoded secrets and vulnerabilities in my codebase?

Detect hardcoded secrets and vulnerabilities by executing an automated audit script that scans for exposed credentials, console.log statements, and security TODOs. It validates infrastructure controls and npm dependencies to identify vulnerabilities before deployment.

Can I customize security checks for my team's specific CI workflow?

You can customize security checks for your CI workflow using an ignore mechanism via a dedicated markdown file. This allows teams to tailor the OWASP-aligned audit scope by excluding specific checks that do not apply to their project context.

Do I need git and npm installed to perform an automated vulnerability audit?

Yes, you need git, npm, and grep installed to perform this automated vulnerability audit. The audit script directly utilizes these dependencies to validate gitignore rules, scan repository history, and execute npm audit for dependency vulnerabilities.

How does an automated security checklist handle CSRF and XSS prevention testing?

An automated security checklist handles CSRF and XSS prevention by applying OWASP Top 10-aligned validations against your software project. It systematically reviews authentication and injection controls to identify vulnerabilities and output actionable remediation steps.

Why should I use an automated script instead of manual security reviews for pre-deployment checks?

Use an automated script instead of manual security reviews to ensure thorough, repeatable pre-deployment checks. It standardizes the validation of secrets management and API security across your codebase, enabling faster and safer software releases without human error.
