SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Game developers frequently miss critical security vulnerabilities like save tampering, network exploits, and input validation gaps that can lead to player data breaches, multiplayer cheating, failed public releases, and reputational damage.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • 6-Category Security Audit: Systematically scans save file serialization, network/multiplayer code, input validation, data exposure, cheat vectors, and third-party dependencies for common game security flaws.
  • Severity-Classified Findings: Ranks all vulnerabilities as CRITICAL, HIGH, MEDIUM, or LOW, with specific remediation steps and effort estimates for each issue.
  • Release Gate Integration: Generates a formal security report required for the Polish → Release gate, ensuring no blocking issues are deployed to production. Use case: A solo indie developer preparing to launch a competitive multiplayer game can run this audit to catch unvalidated server-side state changes and hardcoded API keys before going live.

Quick Start

Use the security-audit skill to run a full security audit of your game codebase ahead of your next public release.

Frequently Asked Questions about security-audit

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit my game codebase for security vulnerabilities before a public release?▼

Game security audits systematically scan save file serialization, network code, input validation, data exposure, cheat vectors, and third-party dependencies to identify vulnerabilities. This produces a severity-prioritised report with actionable remediation steps to prevent failed releases.

What are the most common game security flaws that lead to multiplayer cheating?▼

Multiplayer security flaws typically involve save tampering, network exploits, input validation gaps, and unvalidated server-side state changes. Auditing these categories identifies risks early, preventing multiplayer integrity breaches and player data compromises before launch.

Can I run a vulnerability audit on any game engine or platform?▼

Yes, game security audits apply to all game development workflows across engines and platforms. The audit categorizes vulnerabilities and provides specific remediation guidance regardless of the underlying technology stack.

How do I classify the severity of security flaws found in my game?▼

Security audits rank all discovered vulnerabilities as CRITICAL, HIGH, MEDIUM, or LOW. Each severity classification includes specific remediation steps and effort estimates to help prioritize fixes ahead of release gating.

When do I need to run a game security audit in my development workflow?▼

Run security audits before public launches, multiplayer feature rollouts, and after implementing disk or network-facing systems. This ensures blocking issues are caught and resolved before deployment to production environments.

Does a game security audit integrate with standard release gating processes?▼

Yes, security audits generate a formal report required for the Polish to Release gate. This report ensures no blocking security issues are deployed to production, integrating seamlessly with standard release gating workflows.
