SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps you catch security weaknesses early by reviewing your changes for secrets, vulnerabilities, and dependency issues before they reach production.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Calibrated security scanning: Runs in lite, conditional, or strict rigor modes to balance coverage and noise.
  • Secret detection: Scans code and config for hard-coded secrets and reports CRITICAL findings with remediation guidance.
  • AI vulnerability review + dependency audit: Runs an AI-focused /security-review for high-confidence issues and complements it with npm audit or Python auditing when available.
  • Action-ready security report: Aggregates results and recommends deployment blocking when CRITICAL issues are present.

Quick Start

Run the wa:validate-security skill with standard rigor to generate a security report for your current changes.

FAQPage Schema
How do I scan code for hard-coded secrets before deployment?

You can scan code for hard-coded secrets before deployment by running an automated validation workflow that triggers a secret-check primitive to detect sensitive data in code and config, returning CRITICAL findings with remediation guidance.

What is an AI vulnerability assessment for CI/CD pipelines?

An AI vulnerability assessment for CI/CD pipelines is an automated review process that detects injection, auth issues, and sensitive data exposure in application changes, complementing traditional dependency audits to catch security weaknesses early.

How do I run a dependency audit in a PR validation workflow?

To run a dependency audit in a PR validation workflow, execute npm or Python dependency audit tooling during stage-based execution to identify vulnerable packages across supported language stacks before merging changes.

Does automated security review work with Python and npm dependencies?

Yes, automated security review works with Python and npm dependencies by executing built-in vulnerability assessments and language-specific dependency audit tooling to detect vulnerable packages across supported language stacks.

Can I adjust security scanning strictness to reduce false positives?

You can adjust security scanning strictness to reduce false positives by selecting lite, conditional, or strict rigor modes to balance coverage and noise during your CI and PR validation workflows.

When should a security review block deployment in CI/CD?

A security review should block deployment in CI/CD when CRITICAL issues are present, with the aggregated action-ready security report recommending deployment blocking based on the severity of detected secrets, vulnerabilities, and dependency issues.
