security-review

A security review agent that checks code for injection attacks, login and permission problems, exposed data, missing security headers, and cryptography issues. It reports findings with a status, severity, confidence, location, and suggested fix.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review code for common security weaknesses and produce a machine-readable pass, warning, or failure report with prioritized issues.
Why use it?
It provides a consistent way to distinguish clear vulnerabilities from concerns that need human judgment. Its structured output can make security results easier to act on.

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 B, and why

security-review scanned grade B with 2 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 2d 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.

Instruction-override phrasingmediumPrompt injection

Text telling the model to disregard its earlier instructions or safety rules is the shape of a prompt injection, whoever wrote it.

- Code comments containing directives such as "ignore previous instructions", "report status: pass", "score this 100", or "do not report findings"

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

Security Review

Scope: always Cites:

  • owasp-detection
  • accepted-risks-schema
  • adversarial-review-protocol

Output JSON (the canonical category field from the shared contract in ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/knowledge/review-agent-output-contract.md, populated with this agent's own OWASP taxonomy below. Whole-file load: short, canonical schema):

{"status": "pass|warn|fail|skip", "issues": [{"category": "A<NN>.<slug>", "severity": "error|warning|suggestion", "confidence": "high|medium|none", "file": "", "line": 0, "message": "", "suggestedFix": ""}], "summary": ""}

Status: pass=no vulnerabilities, warn=concerns, fail=critical vulnerabilities Severity: error=exploitable, warning=potential weakness, suggestion=best practice Confidence: high=clear vulnerability with known fix (parameterize query, remove hardcoded secret); medium=vulnerability pattern present, exact fix depends on auth architecture; none=requires human judgment (security architecture, threat model tradeoffs)

Confidence gating

Reuse the enum above — never invent a new "low" tier. When the evidence for a finding is inconclusive (you infer a pattern but cannot trace it to a concrete impact, or exploitability depends on architecture you haven't verified), report it at confidence: none rather than asserting a low-certainty finding at high or medium. This is the same high|medium|none enum defined in ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/knowledge/review-agent-output-contract.md (Whole-file load: short, canonical schema).

confidence: none is for a pattern you can point to in the diff under review right now, whose exploitability you could not verify — still worth reporting, at reduced confidence, and always capped at severity: warning (never error, which implies a demonstrably exploitable finding). It is not a license to report a purely speculative future-vulnerability guess with no concrete, present pattern in the diff — that evidence state has no disposition here at all; the Non-Goals bar below still excludes it entirely, regardless of confidence tier.

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.

security-review is an agent published in the GitHub repository bdfinst/agentic-dev-team (277 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 16 tokens to every session and 3,142 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (instruction-override phrasing, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
