SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps security professionals identify missing or weak HTTP security protections that can expose websites to attacks such as XSS, clickjacking, cookie theft, and information leakage.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Security Header Auditing: Checks HTTP responses for protections including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, Referrer-Policy, and other browser security controls.
  • Cookie Security Analysis: Evaluates cookie attributes such as Secure, HttpOnly, and SameSite flags to identify common session security issues.
  • Use Case: A security analyst can run this Skill against a web application before deployment to find configuration weaknesses and generate structured findings for remediation.

Quick Start

Use the header-analysis skill to audit the HTTP security headers and cookie settings of the provided website URL.

Frequently Asked Questions about header-analysis

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit HTTP security headers for missing protections like CSP and HSTS?▼

Missing security headers expose web applications to XSS, clickjacking, and session theft by failing to enforce browser protections. Auditing HTTP security headers identifies missing controls like CSP, HSTS, and Referrer-Policy to prevent these client-side attacks.

Can I check HTTP cookie security attributes like Secure and HttpOnly in bulk?▼

You can audit HTTP cookie security by analyzing response headers for missing Secure, HttpOnly, and SameSite flags. This identifies weak session configurations that could expose applications to session theft and cross-site request forgery.

Do I need curl and Python installed to run a security header analysis?▼

Yes, this security header audit requires curl and Python to collect HTTP response headers and generate structured JSON findings. You need both tools installed in your execution environment to run the analysis scripts.

Does this HTTP header audit output structured findings for penetration testing reports?▼

Yes, the HTTP header audit produces structured JSON findings that detail missing security controls and insecure cookie attributes. This output format integrates directly into penetration testing preparation and compliance assessment workflows.

What is the best way to prepare a web application for a security header review?▼

The best way to prepare for a security header review is to audit the web application to detect missing controls like CSP, HSTS, and Referrer-Policy. This generates structured JSON findings to guide configuration remediation before deployment.
