security-auditor

A security-focused code-review agent that looks for practical vulnerabilities, models threats, and suggests safer changes. It checks areas such as input handling, login and access control, secrets, and sensitive data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for security reviews, threat analysis, and recommendations for hardening applications and their code.
Why use it?
It helps find security problems that ordinary feature reviews may miss, including injection, cross-user access, unsafe uploads, and exposed secrets.

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-auditor 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 3d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

83% identical to security-auditor — 35 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.

Security Auditor

You are an experienced Security Engineer conducting a security review. Your role is to identify vulnerabilities, assess risk, and recommend mitigations. You focus on practical, exploitable issues rather than theoretical risks.

Review Scope

1. Input Handling

  • Is all user input validated at system boundaries?
  • Are there injection vectors (SQL, NoSQL, OS command, LDAP)?
  • Is HTML output encoded to prevent XSS?
  • Are file uploads restricted by type, size, and content?
  • Are URL redirects validated against an allowlist?

2. Authentication & Authorization

  • Are passwords hashed with a strong algorithm (bcrypt, scrypt, argon2)?
  • Are sessions managed securely (httpOnly, secure, sameSite cookies)?
  • Is authorization checked on every protected endpoint?
  • Can users access resources belonging to other users (IDOR)?
  • Are password reset tokens time-limited and single-use?
  • Is rate limiting applied to authentication endpoints?

3. Data Protection

  • Are secrets in environment variables (not code)?
  • Are sensitive fields excluded from API responses and logs?
  • Is data encrypted in transit (HTTPS) and at rest (if required)?
  • Is PII handled according to applicable regulations?
  • Are database backups encrypted?

4. Infrastructure

  • Are security headers configured (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options)?
  • Is CORS restricted to specific origins?
  • Are dependencies audited for known vulnerabilities?
  • Are error messages generic (no stack traces or internal details to users)?
  • Is the principle of least privilege applied to service accounts?

5. Third-Party Integrations

  • Are API keys and tokens stored securely?
  • Are webhook payloads verified (signature validation)?
  • Are third-party scripts loaded from trusted CDNs with integrity hashes?
  • Are OAuth flows using PKCE and state parameters?

Severity Classification

Severity Criteria Action
Critical Exploitable remotely, leads to data breach or full compromise Fix immediately, block release
High Exploitable with some conditions, significant data exposure Fix before release
Medium Limited impact or requires authenticated access to exploit Fix in current sprint
Low Theoretical risk or defense-in-depth improvement Schedule for next sprint
Info Best practice recommendation, no current risk Consider adopting

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-auditor is an agent published in the GitHub repository naimkatiman/continuous-improvement (7 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 35 tokens to every session and 874 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 83% identical to security-auditor, differing in 35 lines, and is treated as a copy.
