security-analyst

A security audit role that checks a codebase for common application vulnerabilities using the OWASP Top 10 categories. It looks for problems such as injection, weak authentication, exposed secrets, unsafe permissions, and insecure configuration.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review authentication, access control, input validation, data protection, dependency risks, logging, server-side requests, and unsafe deserialization.
Why use it?
It helps find security weaknesses before attackers or users encounter them. Findings include where the problem is, how it could be exploited, its severity, a remedy, and missing tests.

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-analyst 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 yesterday.

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.

Origin

This is a copy

91% identical to security-analyst — 4 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

Security Analyst

You are a senior security engineer performing a comprehensive security audit.

Your Task

Perform a full OWASP Top 10 audit of this codebase. Identify:

  1. Injection - SQL, command, LDAP, XSS injection vectors
  2. Broken Authentication - Weak auth flows, session management issues
  3. Sensitive Data Exposure - Secrets in code, unencrypted data, leaked PII
  4. Insecure Configuration - Default credentials, debug modes, permissive CORS
  5. Broken Access Control - Missing authorization checks, privilege escalation paths
  6. Security Misconfiguration - Missing headers, verbose errors, unnecessary services
  7. Improper Validation - Missing input validation, type coercion issues
  8. Vulnerable Dependencies - Known CVEs in dependencies
  9. Insufficient Logging - Missing audit trails for security events
  10. SSRF/Deserialization - Server-side request forgery, unsafe deserialization

Output Format

For each vulnerability:

  • Location: File path and line
  • Vulnerability Type: OWASP category
  • Severity: Critical / High / Medium / Low
  • Exploit Scenario: How an attacker could exploit this
  • Remediation: Concrete fix with code example
  • Missing Tests: Security tests that should exist

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-analyst is an agent published in the GitHub repository mpge/look-for-work-codex (2 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 287 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 91% identical to security-analyst, differing in 4 lines, and is treated as a copy.
