Automated summary

Scans a codebase and infrastructure for vulnerable dependencies, container issues, cloud IaC misconfigurations, and exposed secrets, enriches findings with current CVE data, calculates risk scores, and generates phased remediation plans with TDD validation tests.

Strengths

  • Covers multiple surfaces: package ecosystems, Docker/Kubernetes, Terraform/CloudFormation/Bicep, and .env files.
  • Uses OSV.dev plus web searches for CISA KEV, NVD, and GitHub Advisories to pull recent vulnerability intelligence.
  • Calculates a weighted risk score from CVSS, exploitability, criticality, and exposure.
  • Produces technical and executive reports with concrete fixes and pre/post TDD validation tests.

Limitations

  • Depends on bundled Python scripts and web/API access, so offline use is limited.
  • Criticality and exposure inputs may need manual review, and the risk score remains heuristic.
  • Not a substitute for manual penetration testing or runtime dynamic analysis.
When to use it

Use when you need a structured security audit of a repository's dependencies, containers, IaC, and secret exposure, with prioritized fixes and validation tests.

When not to use it

Do not use as a replacement for live penetration testing, runtime threat detection, or compliance certification.

Security analysis

Caution
Quality score85/100

The skill uses Bash and network access for legitimate security scanning purposes. It does not instruct destructive actions, exfiltration, or obfuscation, and explicitly avoids logging secret values. However, running unverified Python scripts and fetching external data introduce moderate execution and data exposure risk, so caution is warranted.

Findings
  • •Executes Python scripts via Bash that are not shown or reviewed in the SKILL.md, introducing supply-chain risk if scripts are malicious or compromised.
  • •Uses WebSearch and WebFetch to retrieve live vulnerability data, which may expose project details in search queries if not careful, though no explicit exfiltration is instructed.
  • •Scans .env files for secrets and instructs never to log values, which is a positive control, but secret handling still requires caution.
How this analysis is made

Examples

Full repository security scan
Run a full security scan of this repository: check dependencies, Docker/Kubernetes manifests, Terraform, and .env exposure, then generate technical and executive reports with phased fixes and tests.
Prioritize dependency CVEs
Audit our npm and pip dependencies for CVEs, prioritize anything in CISA KEV, and produce a remediation plan with version bumps and validation tests.
IaC and secret exposure audit
Scan our Terraform and Dockerfile setup for security issues and exposed secrets, calculate risk scores, and give me an executive summary plus engineer-ready fixes.

Security Analyzer

Analyze environments for vulnerabilities, fetch current CVE/exploit data, and generate phased remediation plans with TDD validation.

Quick Start

When the user requests a security scan:

  1. Run environment discovery: python .claude/skills/security-analyzer/scripts/discover_env.py .
  2. Save output to inventory.json
  3. Run vulnerability scan: python .claude/skills/security-analyzer/scripts/fetch_vulns.py inventory.json
  4. Save output to scan_results.json
  5. Generate reports: python .claude/skills/security-analyzer/scripts/generate_report.py scan_results.json inventory.json

Workflow

Phase 1: Environment Discovery

Scan working directory for:

  • Dependencies: package.json, requirements.txt, Gemfile, go.mod, Cargo.toml, pom.xml
  • Containers: Dockerfile, docker-compose.yml, kubernetes/*.yaml
  • Cloud IaC: terraform/*.tf, cloudformation/*.yaml, *.bicep
  • Secrets: .env* files (flag exposure risk, never log values)

Run the discovery script:

python .claude/skills/security-analyzer/scripts/discover_env.py /path/to/project > inventory.json

Phase 2: Vulnerability Intelligence

Fetch current threat data using the vulnerability scanner:

python .claude/skills/security-analyzer/scripts/fetch_vulns.py inventory.json > scan_results.json

| Source | Priority | Use For | |--------|----------|---------| | CISA KEV | 1 | Actively exploited vulns (use WebSearch) | | NVD | 2 | CVE details + CVSS scores (use WebSearch) | | GitHub Advisories | 3 | Package-specific vulns (use WebSearch) | | OSV.dev | 4 | Open source vulns (API in script) |

For CISA KEV and additional context, supplement with:

WebSearch: "CVE-XXXX-YYYY CISA KEV exploit"

Phase 3: Risk Scoring

The scanner calculates risk scores using:

Risk = (CVSS * 0.3) + (Exploitability * 0.3) + (Criticality * 0.2) + (Exposure * 0.2)

Exploitability: 10=CISA KEV, 7=public exploit, 3=theoretical
Criticality: 10=auth/payment, 5=core business, 2=logging
Exposure: 10=internet-facing, 5=internal, 2=air-gapped

Phase 4: Phased Remediation

Generate reports with fix commands and validation tests:

python .claude/skills/security-analyzer/scripts/generate_report.py scan_results.json inventory.json

Each finding includes:

  1. Vulnerability details + risk score
  2. Actual fix code/patch (not just recommendations)
  3. Pre-fix test (proves vuln exists)
  4. Remediation unit tests (tests the fix code)
  5. Post-fix validation (proves vuln resolved)

Phase 5: Reports

Output two reports:

  • security-report-technical.md — Full details for engineers
  • security-report-executive.md — Summary for leadership

See references/report-templates.md for output structure.

TDD Pattern

For each vulnerability, generate three test types:

def test_vuln_exists():
    """PASS before fix, FAIL after"""
    assert is_vulnerable("component") == True

def test_fix_works():
    """Unit test for remediation code"""
    result = apply_fix(vulnerable_config)
    assert result.is_secure()

def test_vuln_resolved():
    """FAIL before fix, PASS after"""
    assert is_vulnerable("component") == False

Fix Types by Finding

| Finding | Output | |---------|--------| | Dependency CVE | Version bump command + lockfile update | | Container issue | Dockerfile patch | | IaC misconfiguration | Terraform/K8s fix | | Code vulnerability | Source patch + test | | Secret exposure | Rotation commands + .gitignore update |

    • TDD tests proving each fix works
  5. Outputs technical and executive reports

From the file to a first result

The download contains exactly the content displayed on this page. This copy may differ from the latest version in the source repository.

View the source and supporting files

This download contains SKILL.md only. Any scripts, references, templates and dependencies are not included. Get the required files from the source, preserving their directory structure, before continuing.

1. Download the file

Download SKILL.md

From the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/security-analyzer-msba3mt1/SKILL.md, or use the command below. This folder is for inspecting the skill before installation.

Command for macOS/Linux or WSL: requires a POSIX shell and curl. On Windows without WSL, use the download button and create the folder manually.

mkdir -p '.skill-downloads/security-analyzer-msba3mt1' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/security-analyzer-msba3mt1/download' --output '.skill-downloads/security-analyzer-msba3mt1/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/security-analyzer-msba3mt1/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/security-analyzer-msba3mt1/SKILL.md'

2. Check prerequisites

Read SKILL.md before using it. If it references scripts or external services, inspect them and prepare the required access in your test environment.

Tools declared by the author (check availability in your agent): Bash, Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep, WebFetch, WebSearch

No recognized prerequisites section in this file. This does not mean it is self-contained: libraries, tools and access requirements may be mentioned elsewhere in the content or source repository.

The platforms on this page are catalog indications. The paths below follow tool documentation; they do not prove this skill has been run in those tools. No minimum tool version is confirmed for this listing.

3. Load the skill

After inspection, copy the complete folder into your project using one of the commands below, then open a new tool session. The command stops if a folder with the same name already exists: compare the files before replacing it.

Claude Code
test -f '.skill-downloads/security-analyzer-msba3mt1/SKILL.md' && test -s '.skill-downloads/security-analyzer-msba3mt1/SKILL.md' && mkdir -p '.claude/skills' && test ! -e '.claude/skills/security-analyzer' && cp -R '.skill-downloads/security-analyzer-msba3mt1' '.claude/skills/security-analyzer'

OpenSkills

OpenSkills must already be installed. The local install/read procedure is checked with OpenSkills 1.5.0, which requires Node.js ≥ 20.6.0. Catalog slugs are not resolved automatically.

Official OpenSkills installation
openskills install './.skill-downloads/security-analyzer-msba3mt1'

openskills read 'security-analyzer-msba3mt1'

Reading should display the installed file content and its base directory. It does not run the skill or install its dependencies.

For an agent that reads AGENTS.md, then sync the index. This command changes AGENTS.md: review the diff before using it.

openskills sync

Manual method or another tool: attach SKILL.md to a conversation, or open it in an agent that can read files. Include any required supporting resources. No universal folder is recognized by every tool.

4. Try a first task

Use a short, synthetic input: an API endpoint, a small document or an interface brief. In a new conversation, attach the file or give the agent its path, then adapt this request:

Read .skill-downloads/security-analyzer-msba3mt1/SKILL.md and apply its instructions to this example: [describe a test input]. Identify any missing files, dependencies or access. Produce the result requested by the skill without inventing data or running unreviewed scripts.

Expected result: output matching the skill instructions, or a precise list of missing prerequisites. A read confirmation alone does not validate a first use. If an external resource is unavailable, that path remains untested.
