What problem does it solve?
Manual security audits often miss critical exploitable vulnerabilities or waste time on low-priority theoretical issues, leaving production software at risk without clear remediation steps. This Skill delivers a structured, pragmatic approach to application security hardening that focuses on real-world risks and actionable fixes.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Attack Surface Mapping: Systematically identifies all auth/session models, API routes, file upload/download flows, secret storage, dependency entrypoints, and network egress points across your repo.
- Risk-Prioritized Remediation: Separates must-fix pre-release vulnerabilities from deferred accepted risks, preserving core product behavior unless a fix requires a necessary change.
- Validated Hardening & Reporting: Adds targeted security tests for bypasses, input validation failures, and secret leakage, runs dependency audits for known CVEs, and documents all residual risk with severity and recommended next steps.
Use Case: If you are preparing a web application for production launch, use this Skill to catch auth bypasses, SSRF flaws, exposed secrets, and vulnerable dependencies before go-live.
Quick Start
Use the security-hardening skill to audit this repository for exploitable application security risks, prioritize critical fixes, and document any remaining residual risk.
