FAQPage Schema
How do I detect hardcoded secrets and injection vulnerabilities across my codebase?

Vulnerability detection uses regex-based patterns to identify hardcoded secrets, SQL injection, command injection, and path traversal flaws across languages. The Skill provides detection patterns, severity classifications, and CWE mappings applicable to multi-language repositories without language-specific tooling.

Can I scan configuration files for security issues in Docker and environment configs?

Configuration audits identify vulnerability patterns in Docker, environment, and config files using universal detection rules. The Skill delivers regex patterns and grep command sets to rapidly assess configuration-based risks across your stack.

How do I integrate vulnerability scanning into pre-commit hooks?

The Skill provides guidance for hook integrations and a fast scan script enabling rapid vulnerability assessment at commit time. Use the grep-based patterns and severity classifications to gate code changes before they reach your repository.

What vulnerability categories does cross-language pattern detection cover?

Patterns cover hardcoded secrets, SQL and command injection, path traversal, and configuration file vulnerabilities. Each pattern includes severity classifications and ASVS and CWE mappings to standardize vulnerability assessment across languages.

Can I use these patterns for security scanning on existing repositories?

Yes. The universal pattern set applies to multi-language repositories for rapid assessment without dependency installation. Run the included scan script to quickly identify injection patterns, secrets, and config risks across your codebase.

Do I need language-specific tools to detect injection patterns with these rules?

No. The regex-based patterns work universally across languages, eliminating the need for separate tooling per stack. The Skill provides grep command sets and a fast scan script for immediate deployment to any codebase.
