SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill empowers Claude to automatically scan your codebase for security vulnerabilities. It leverages the vulnerability-scanner plugin to identify potential risks, including code-level flaws, vulnerable dependencies, and insecure configurations, providing detailed reports with CVE detection.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Comprehensive Scanning: Identify vulnerabilities in code, dependencies, and configurations.
  • CVE Detection: Check for known Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures in project dependencies.
  • Detailed Reports: Generate reports with severity levels and remediation guidance.
  • Use Case: Scan your project's npm dependencies for known vulnerabilities and receive a report listing vulnerable packages and recommended updates.

Quick Start

User request: "Check my project's npm dependencies for known vulnerabilities."

The skill will:

  1. Activate the vulnerability-scanner plugin.
  2. Scan the project's package.json file and identify any npm packages with known CVEs.
  3. Generate a report listing the vulnerable packages, their CVE identifiers, and recommended updates.

FAQPage Schema
How do I scan my codebase for security vulnerabilities?▼

Scanning for vulnerabilities identifies potential security risks in your code, dependencies, and configurations. The skill activates a vulnerability-scanner plugin to detect code-level flaws, vulnerable packages, and misconfigurations, then generates a detailed report with severity levels and remediation guidance.

Can I check my npm dependencies for known CVEs?▼

Yes. CVE detection checks your project's package.json and dependency tree against known Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures. The scan identifies vulnerable packages by CVE identifier and provides recommended updates to patch security gaps.

What does a vulnerability scan report include?▼

Reports list identified vulnerabilities with severity classifications, CVE identifiers, affected dependencies or code locations, and actionable remediation steps. This enables prioritization and targeted fixes before deployment.

When should I run vulnerability scans in my workflow?▼

Vulnerability scanning fits into CI pipelines for automated checks, code reviews before merge, and pre-deployment scans before production release. Early detection prevents vulnerable code from reaching production environments.

Does this skill work with configuration files and dependencies?▼

Yes. The skill performs comprehensive scanning across code, dependencies, and configurations. It detects misconfigurations alongside code flaws and vulnerable packages in a single unified report.

Can I integrate vulnerability scanning into my CI pipeline?▼

Yes. The skill is designed for CI pipeline integration to enable automated, continuous scanning. It generates detailed reports that can block deployments or flag issues for review based on severity thresholds.
