security-global-secure-configuration

A set of rules for securely configuring applications, secrets, containers, network settings, and deployment environments.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for setting environment-specific options, managing and rotating secrets, securing containers, configuring security headers and cookies, and reviewing CORS and related settings.
Why use it?
It reduces common configuration risks such as hardcoded credentials, excessive permissions, unsafe defaults, and exposed services.

Getting it into your agent

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.

Made for: Cursor.

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-global-secure-configuration 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to security-global-secure-configuration — 0 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

Configuration & Infrastructure

Secure configuration is foundational to application security, influencing how systems are deployed and maintained.

Environment Configuration

  • Use environment-specific configuration files
  • Implement secure defaults for all environments
  • Minimize configuration differences between environments
  • Document all configuration options
  • Apply infrastructure as code principles

Secrets Management

  • Never hardcode secrets in source code
  • Use dedicated secrets management tools
  • Implement secure secret rotation
  • Apply principle of least privilege for secrets access
  • Audit secret access and usage

Containerization Security

  • Use minimal base images
  • Run containers as non-root users
  • Implement container security scanning
  • Apply resource restrictions
  • Keep container images updated

Security Headers & Settings

  • Implement secure HTTP headers (X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options)
  • Configure Content Security Policy
  • Apply cookie security attributes
  • Configure CORS policies appropriately
  • Disable directory listings

Anti-Patterns to Avoid

  • Using default passwords or credentials
  • Exposing unnecessary services or ports
  • Enabling unnecessary features or modules
  • Using insecure defaults
  • Failing to harden infrastructure components
  • Neglecting consistent configuration across environments
Changes

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.
