SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you systematically identify security weaknesses in application source code by mapping findings to the OWASP Top 10 (2021) categories so you can prioritize real fixes instead of guessing.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Category-based source auditing: Reviews code paths against A01–A10 using targeted grep patterns and deeper inspection of flagged files.
  • Evidence-driven bug reasoning: Connects specific code smells (e.g., IDOR patterns, injection sinks, SSRF primitives) to OWASP categories with practical remediation guidance.
  • Runtime security failure checks: Includes common real-world bypasses such as edge/runtime mismatches, authorization-ordering leaks, and concurrent/race conditions.

Quick Start

Ask an AI agent to run an OWASP Top 10 source-code audit across your repository and produce a category-by-category report with concrete file/line evidence and prioritized remediation steps.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run an OWASP Top 10 security audit on my source code?

To run an OWASP Top 10 security audit, prompt an AI agent to systematically scan your repository source code, map vulnerable patterns to categories A01–A10, and generate a report with file and line evidence.

What types of web vulnerabilities can a source code review identify?

A source code review identifies web vulnerabilities like injection sinks, authorization flaws, cryptographic failures, SSRF primitives, and IDOR patterns by mapping them to OWASP Top 10 categories.

Can I use an automated security audit to find authorization-ordering leaks and race conditions?

Yes, an automated security audit checks for runtime security failures including authorization-ordering leaks, edge and runtime mismatches, and concurrent race conditions mapped to OWASP categories.

Does an OWASP security audit provide remediation guidance for found vulnerabilities?

Yes, an OWASP security audit provides evidence-driven bug reasoning that connects specific code smells to vulnerable categories and delivers prioritized, practical remediation steps.

What is the best way to prepare an application source code repository for vulnerability auditing?

The best way to prepare for vulnerability auditing is ensuring your complete application source code is accessible in a repository so targeted grep patterns can locate and analyze vulnerable paths.

Are there limitations to using automated grep patterns for an appsec assessment?

Automated grep patterns for appsec assessment locate vulnerable code paths but require deeper inspection of flagged files to accurately reason about runtime bypasses and confirm security flaws.
