SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Manually reviewing configuration files (Docker Compose, Kubernetes, Terraform) for security vulnerabilities and misconfigurations is time-consuming and prone to human error. This Skill automates the detection of critical security flaws, ensuring your infrastructure is secure.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-Config Scanning: Scans Docker Compose, Kubernetes manifests, and Terraform files for common security issues.
  • Severity-Based Reporting: Categorizes findings into Critical, Medium, and Low severity, providing clear prioritization.
  • Actionable Remediation: Offers specific fixes, code examples, and references to security benchmarks (CIS, OWASP) for every detected issue.
  • Use Case: Before deploying a new application, run this Skill against your entire infrastructure configuration directory to identify and fix security vulnerabilities, ensuring compliance and reducing attack surface.

Quick Start

Scan all YAML and Terraform files in the current directory for security vulnerabilities and generate a detailed report.

Frequently Asked Questions about Security Scanner

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I scan Docker Compose and Kubernetes files for security vulnerabilities?

Security scanning identifies misconfigurations in Docker Compose, Kubernetes manifests, and Terraform files by applying rule-based detection for risky patterns like privileged containers, public port binding, and missing resource limits. Run the Skill against your configuration directory to generate a severity-ranked report with remediation guidance.

What security issues does a configuration scanner detect in Kubernetes and Docker?

Configuration scanners detect critical issues including privileged container execution, host network access, writable root filesystems, root user execution, missing security options, absent health checks, and undefined resource limits. Each finding maps to CIS and OWASP benchmarks with actionable fixes.

Can I scan Terraform files for misconfigurations and compliance violations?

Yes, security scanners analyze Terraform infrastructure-as-code files alongside Docker and Kubernetes configs to identify compliance deviations and security misconfigurations. Results include severity levels and concrete remediation steps aligned with security best practices.

How do I automate security checks before deploying Docker and Kubernetes configurations?

Run configuration scanning as a pre-deployment step against your entire infrastructure directory to identify and remediate vulnerabilities instantly. The Skill outputs structured reports with findings, risk levels, locations, and specific code examples for fixes.

What's the difference between scanning configs for vulnerabilities versus runtime security monitoring?

Configuration scanning detects static misconfigurations and risky settings in deployment files before runtime; it catches design flaws like missing limits and privileged modes. Runtime monitoring watches live container behavior and system calls, complementing pre-deployment scanning for defense in depth.

Do I need to configure rules manually to scan infrastructure files for security issues?

No, the Skill applies built-in rule-based detection for known risky patterns across Docker Compose, Kubernetes, and Terraform without custom configuration. It identifies critical security flaws automatically and provides prioritized, remediation-focused reports.
