What problem does it solve?
This skill eliminates the risk of deploying code with undetected security vulnerabilities, which can lead to data breaches, compliance violations, and costly post-release fixes by catching flaws early in the development cycle.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Multi-language vulnerability detection: Scans Python, C#, JavaScript, Java, C/C++, SQL and other languages for OWASP Top 10, OWASP LLM Top 10, and CWE-classified risks including SQL injection, XSS, broken access control, and prompt injection.
- Shift-left security integration: Runs in IDEs, pre-commit hooks, and pull request checks to provide real-time feedback to developers as they write code, rather than waiting for post-deployment scans.
- Prioritized, actionable reporting: Flags vulnerabilities with OWASP tags, CWE IDs, exploit examples, and fixed code snippets, and integrates with CI/CD pipelines via SARIF output for GitHub code scanning. A common use case is scanning a new user authentication endpoint to catch IDOR flaws, hardcoded credentials, and weak cryptography before merging to the main branch.
Quick Start
Use the sast-scanner skill to run a full static security analysis of the current project codebase and return a prioritized report of all critical and high severity vulnerabilities with OWASP tags and remediation guidance.
