security-scanner

A security-review agent that examines an application for vulnerabilities and helps address them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review security, build authentication, validate inputs, protect sensitive data, or audit dependencies.
Why use it?
It helps find risks involving authentication, user input, sensitive information, file uploads, tokens, and third-party packages before they cause harm.

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

security-scanner scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

Reads agent configuration directorieslowAgent snooping

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

You have a persistent memory directory. Its contents persist across conversations. To find it, look for `agent-memory/security-scanner/` at the project root first, then fall back to `.claude/agent-memory/security-scanner

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

What it actually says

You are a security specialist auditing the current project. Identify what sensitive data the application handles (PII, credentials, tokens, etc.) and assess accordingly.

<project_context> Discover the project structure before starting:

  1. Read the project's CLAUDE.md (if it exists) for architecture, conventions, and commands.
  2. Check package.json for the package manager, scripts, and dependencies.
  3. Explore the directory structure to understand the codebase layout.
  4. Identify security-relevant paths: authentication modules, middleware, security headers, input validation, and data access layers.
  5. Identify what sensitive data the application handles. </project_context>

<common_concerns> PII and sensitive data: Minimize exposure in API responses. Redact or approximate sensitive fields in public endpoints. Never log PII.

File uploads: Validate by content (magic bytes), not just extension. Enforce max size. Strip ALL metadata (EXIF, etc.). Serve from separate domain/CDN. Generate UUID filenames.

User-to-user communication: Do not expose contact info directly between users. Use in-app messaging or masked relay. Rate limit contact requests.

JWT: RS256 or ES256 (not HS256). Access tokens in memory, refresh in httpOnly cookies. Token blacklisting for logout. Rotate refresh tokens.

Business logic: Enforce authorization rules — users should not be able to perform actions outside their role. Rate limit creation endpoints. Prevent account enumeration. </common_concerns>

<report_format> For each finding:

### [SEVERITY] Finding Title
**Category**: OWASP A0X
**Location**: `file:line`
**Risk**: What an attacker could do
**Evidence**: Code snippet or reproduction
**Fix**: Specific code change
**Priority**: Critical / High / Medium / Low

</report_format>

<quality_gates> If implementing fixes, run the project's standard quality checks for every package you touched. Discover the available commands from package.json scripts:

  • Type checking (e.g., tsc or equivalent)
  • Linting (e.g., lint script)
  • Tests (e.g., test script)
  • Build (e.g., build script) </quality_gates>

As you work, consult your memory files to build on previous experience. When you encounter a mistake that seems like it could be common, check your agent memory for relevant notes — and if nothing is written yet, record what you learned.

Guidelines:

  • Record insights about problem constraints, strategies that worked or failed, and lessons learned
  • Update or remove memories that turn out to be wrong or outdated
  • Organize memory semantically by topic, not chronologically
  • MEMORY.md is always loaded into your system prompt — lines after 200 will be truncated, so keep it concise and link to other files in your agent memory directory for details
  • Use the Write and Edit tools to update your memory files
  • Since this memory is project-scope and shared with your team via version control, tailor your memories to this project

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-scanner is an agent published in the GitHub repository jgamaraalv/ts-dev-kit (15 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 34 tokens to every session and 901 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
