SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Manually testing for common application security vulnerabilities like XSS and injection flaws is repetitive, time-consuming, and prone to human error. This Skill automates the identification and validation of these weaknesses, ensuring thorough coverage and saving significant time.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated XSS Testing: Systematically tests for reflected, stored, and DOM-based Cross-Site Scripting across various contexts and modern frameworks.
  • Client-Side Security Assessment: Focuses on vulnerabilities specific to modern web applications, including framework-specific issues and defense bypasses.
  • Use Case: Integrate this Skill into your CI/CD pipeline to automatically scan new code deployments for common client-side vulnerabilities, catching issues before they reach production and reducing manual security review time.

Quick Start

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate XSS vulnerability testing for my web application?

XSS vulnerability testing can be automated to systematically identify reflected, stored, and DOM-based Cross-Site Scripting across modern frameworks and contexts. This Skill coordinates specialized agents to detect these vulnerabilities comprehensively, covering various injection points and bypass techniques without manual repetition.

Can I test for OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities in my REST or GraphQL API?

Yes, this Skill applies to REST and GraphQL APIs alongside single-page applications and rich text platforms. It orchestrates agents to validate common web application vulnerabilities including injection flaws, authentication issues, CSRF, and other OWASP Top 10 patterns across these architectures.

What client-side security issues does automated testing catch?

Client-side security assessment covers vulnerabilities specific to modern web applications, including framework-specific issues, defense bypasses, and context-dependent XSS vectors. Automated testing ensures thorough coverage of DOM manipulation, event handlers, and third-party script interactions.

How do I integrate vulnerability scanning into my CI/CD pipeline?

Deploy this Skill as an automated scanner in your CI/CD pipeline to test code deployments before production. It identifies common client-side vulnerabilities early, reducing manual security review overhead and catching issues that would otherwise reach live environments.

What's required to run comprehensive appsec testing with this Skill?

The Skill requires specialized agents located in the .claude/agents directory and coordinates their parallel execution for comprehensive scope. Outputs organize per-agent and per-target results in the outputs/ directory, ensuring structured vulnerability assessment across your application targets.
