SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps security-conscious teams automatically identify weaknesses in codebases, dependencies, and configurations to reduce risk and exposure.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated dependency and supply-chain checks aligned with OWASP A03
  • Secrets and credential scanning across code and config files
  • Code pattern detection and configuration evaluation to prioritize risk
  • Use Case: Scan a web application repository to surface critical vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and risky dependencies for remediation

Quick Start

Run the scanner on your project: python scripts/security_scan.py <project_path> --scan-type all

FAQPage Schema
How do I scan my codebase for security vulnerabilities and exposed secrets?

To scan your codebase for security vulnerabilities and exposed secrets, run the Python-based security scanner with your project path and the --scan-type all flag. This initiates automated dependency checks, secret scanning, and configuration evaluation to identify risk.

Does this vulnerability scanner align with OWASP security standards?

Yes, this vulnerability scanner aligns with OWASP security standards by implementing specific checks for dependency risks (A03), secret exposure (A04), code pattern vulnerabilities (A05), and configuration weaknesses (A02) to evaluate project risk.

How do I detect risky dependencies in my software project?

You can detect risky dependencies in your software project by executing the security scanner script against your project directory. It applies automated supply-chain checks to surface vulnerable libraries and prioritize remediation efforts.

Can I integrate vulnerability scanning into a CI pipeline?

Yes, you can integrate vulnerability scanning into a CI pipeline because the scanner is an extensible Python-based script driven by YAML frontmatter metadata. It evaluates configurations and code patterns suitable for automated pipeline execution.

What is the best way to find misconfigurations and code pattern risks in a repository?

The best way to find misconfigurations and code pattern risks in a repository is to run an automated security scan that evaluates configuration files and detects risky code patterns. This approach surfaces critical vulnerabilities for targeted remediation.

Do I need any external dependencies to run the security scanner?

No, you do not need any external dependencies to run the security scanner. The tool relies solely on its internal Python-based script and YAML frontmatter-driven metadata to execute vulnerability scans, secret detection, and configuration checks.
