stackhawk

A StackHawk security-testing toolkit for checking running web applications and APIs. DAST, or dynamic application security testing, tests software while it is running.

In plain words
What is it for?
Creating HawkScan configuration files, running scans through the command line or Docker, interpreting findings, preparing fix tasks, and querying StackHawk security reports and application data.
Why use it?
It helps turn automated security-scan output into understandable, prioritized development work.

Security

Grade A, and why

stackhawk 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 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.

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.

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.
