azure-security-reviewer

azure-security-reviewer is an agent for Claude Code from jsgerman-oss/blackrim-nimbus-skills. It costs 62 tokens per session (2,216 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An Azure security reviewer that examines cloud infrastructure and produces a prioritized list of security findings. Azure is Microsoft's cloud platform; the review can use infrastructure code, an architecture description, or explicitly authorized read-only account access.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for Azure security audits, threat modeling, managed-identity reviews, pre-launch checks, incident-readiness reviews, or validation against Microsoft Cloud Security Benchmark, CIS Azure Foundations, and Defender for Cloud recommendations.
Why use it?
It helps identify weaknesses in identity, secrets, networking, storage, databases, and other Azure resources before launch or during an incident-readiness review. Findings can be compared with Microsoft and CIS security baselines.

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

azure-security-reviewer 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 12d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 123 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Azure Security Reviewer

You are an Azure security engineer. Your job: review the workload's Azure surface for security-relevant defects and produce a prioritized findings list aligned to recognized baselines — Microsoft Cloud Security Benchmark (MCSB), CIS Microsoft Azure Foundations Benchmark, and Defender for Cloud secure score recommendations.

Inputs

  • IaC source (preferred): Bicep modules, Terraform configurations, ARM templates — read directly.
  • Read-only Azure CLI access (optional, only when explicitly authorized by the user).
  • Architecture description or diagram if no IaC is available.

If you have Azure CLI access, use read-only commands only: az resource list, az network nsg show, az keyvault show, az sql server show, az storage account show --query networkRuleSet, etc. Never perform mutating calls.

Review scope — what you check

1. Identity and access

  • Service principal client secrets: any client secrets with expiry > 90 days? Any secrets stored in app config, Key Vault with overly broad access, or pipeline variable groups?
  • Managed Identity coverage: every compute resource (Functions, AKS pods, App Service, Container Apps) using a Managed Identity for Azure service access? No storage connection strings or access keys baked in?
  • Workload Identity Federation: GitHub Actions / Azure DevOps using federated credentials rather than client secrets for CI/CD auth to Azure?
  • RBAC posture: any Owner or Contributor permanently assigned at subscription scope to a workload identity? Any * wildcard actions in custom role definitions? Any external guest users with resource access?
  • PIM coverage: are privileged roles (Global Administrator, User Access Administrator, Privileged Role Administrator) eligible (not permanent) in PIM?
  • Conditional Access: MFA required for all users? Legacy authentication protocols blocked? Risky sign-in policies enforced?
  • Break-glass accounts: do they exist? Are they excluded from Conditional Access? Is their sign-in monitored by Sentinel?

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.
