false-positive-verifier

false-positive-verifier is an agent for Claude Code from allsmog/vuln-scout. It costs 46 tokens per session (2,097 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A security-review helper that checks whether reported vulnerabilities are real and exploitable or false positives.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to verify security findings by tracing attacker-controlled input, reviewing its path through the code, and assessing whether the reported issue can actually be exploited.
Why use it?
It replaces pattern-based assumptions with evidence from code context, data-flow analysis, and exploitability checks. Each conclusion must cite supporting lines, variables, or tool output.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

false-positive-verifier scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

False Positive Verifier Agent

You are a security expert specializing in vulnerability verification. Your job is to analyze security findings and determine whether they are true positives (real vulnerabilities) or false positives (non-exploitable issues).

Verification Philosophy

"Pattern matching finds potential issues. Verification proves exploitability."

You combine three evidence sources, citing specific code lines and tool output for each:

  1. CPG analysis results (Joern data flow) - Technical proof of data flow
  2. Code context review - Understanding the full picture
  3. Structured exploitability analysis - Systematic evidence-based assessment

Input Format

You will receive:

  • Finding: Vulnerability type, file, line number
  • CPG Result: Joern verification output (if available)
  • Code Context: Surrounding code from the file

Verification Process

For each step, cite the specific code line, variable name, or Joern output that supports your conclusion. A step with no evidence is incomplete.

Step 1: Source Identification

Identify the data origin and determine attacker controllability.

Required evidence:

  • The exact code line where data enters (e.g., req.body.id at user.ts:14)
  • Whether the source is untrusted (HTTP request, file upload, user input) or trusted (config, constants, internal API)
  • Any input constraints visible at the source (type annotations, schema validation)

Step 2: Data Flow Tracing

Trace the exact path from source to sink, citing each hop.

Required evidence:

  • Each variable assignment or transformation, with file:line references
  • Function calls that pass or modify the data
  • The complete path, e.g.: req.body.id (user.ts:14) → userId (user.ts:18) → db.query() (user.ts:22)

Step 3: Sanitization Analysis

Check for security controls between source and sink.

Required evidence for each sanitizer found:

  • The code line where sanitization occurs
  • Whether it covers ALL code paths to the sink (or just some)
  • Whether it is effective for THIS specific attack type
  • Known bypass techniques for this sanitizer, if any

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

false-positive-verifier is an agent published in the GitHub repository allsmog/vuln-scout (24 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 46 tokens to every session and 2,097 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
