SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Identify and prioritize real security vulnerabilities, exposed secrets, and risky dependencies in a codebase so teams can fix the most exploitable issues first and reduce breach risk.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Targeted attack-surface scanning: Focus scans on API routes, auth and authorization logic, database queries, file handling, and configuration where attackers most often gain access.
  • Hybrid detection strategy: Combine deterministic pattern detection (via shieldkit when available) with semantic analysis for logic flaws, race conditions, and broken access control.
  • Secrets and dependency auditing: Locate hardcoded keys, leaked .env files, and run or recommend ecosystem-specific dependency audits with severity and remediation.
  • Actionable reporting: Provide exact file and line locations, exploit scenarios, severity labels, and concrete fixes so developers can triage and remediate quickly.

Quick Start

Ask the scan skill to run a security audit of the repository or a specific path and return prioritized findings with fixes.

FAQPage Schema
How do I scan a codebase for security vulnerabilities and exposed secrets?

To scan a codebase for security vulnerabilities and exposed secrets, target specific paths like API routes or authentication logic to identify risks. The process yields exact file and line locations, severity classifications, and concrete fixes for quick remediation.

What is the best way to detect hardcoded secrets and leaked environment variables in my repository?

The best way to detect hardcoded secrets and leaked environment files in a repository is by running a targeted secrets audit. This method locates exposed keys and provides actionable recommendations to remove or secure the sensitive data immediately.

Can I audit dependency manifests for vulnerable packages during a code audit?

Yes, you can audit dependency manifests for vulnerable packages during a code audit. The process runs or recommends ecosystem-specific dependency audits, returning severity labels and remediation steps to reduce breach risk from outdated libraries.

Does semantic analysis find broken access control and logic flaws in authentication logic?

Yes, semantic analysis finds broken access control, logic flaws, and race conditions in authentication logic. By combining semantic analysis with deterministic pattern detection, it identifies complex exploitable issues that standard scans miss.

How do I prioritize which database query and file handling vulnerabilities to fix first?

Prioritize database query and file handling vulnerabilities by scanning the attack surface and reviewing severity classifications. The resulting report provides exploit scenarios and concrete fixes so teams can triage and remediate the most exploitable issues first.

When should I integrate deterministic scans with shieldkit during a vulnerability scan?

Integrate deterministic scans with shieldkit during a vulnerability scan when you need to combine pattern detection with semantic analysis. This hybrid strategy identifies exposed secrets and risky dependencies while catching logic flaws in web and backend projects.
