SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps identify security vulnerabilities and insecure patterns in a codebase, enabling teams to harden software from the start.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated security pattern checks: Evaluate input validation, authentication, authorization, secrets handling, and data exposure across projects.
  • OWASP-aligned guidance: Map findings to OWASP Top 10 and provide concrete remediation steps.
  • Use Case: Apply during code reviews or pre-merge checks to catch insecure patterns before release.

Quick Start

Run a security analysis against your repository by pointing to the codebase path, for example: analyze-security --path /workspace/project --output security-report.md

FAQPage Schema
How do I analyze a codebase for security vulnerabilities and insecure patterns?

To analyze a codebase for security vulnerabilities, you point the tool to your repository path to evaluate authentication, authorization, input validation, and secrets handling. It generates a structured security report mapping findings to OWASP Top 10 with remediation steps.

What is the best way to check for insecure authentication and authorization patterns before a merge?

Checking for insecure authentication and authorization patterns involves running automated security analysis against your repository during code reviews or pre-merge checks. This identifies insecure patterns early and provides structured remediation guidance to harden your software.

How does automated security pattern analysis map findings to OWASP Top 10 guidelines?

Automated security pattern analysis maps findings to OWASP Top 10 guidelines by evaluating input validation, data exposure, and dependency risks. It provides a structured report with detection criteria and concrete security best-practice checks aligned with OWASP standards.

Can I use this security analysis tool to detect hardcoded secrets and data exposure in my project?

You can use this security analysis tool to detect hardcoded secrets and data exposure by evaluating your codebase for insecure patterns. It assesses secrets handling and data exposure across projects, delivering a structured report with remediation steps.

Does the security vulnerability analysis require any specific dependencies or environment setup?

Security vulnerability analysis requires no specific dependencies or environment setup, allowing you to directly scan your codebase. You simply point the tool to your project path to generate a structured security report with remediation steps.

What limitations should I expect when scanning for insecure codebase patterns?

When scanning for insecure codebase patterns, expect limitations typical of static analysis, as it evaluates input validation and authentication structures without runtime context. Use it as pre-merge guidance to catch insecure patterns early rather than a comprehensive penetration test.
