security

security is a cursor rule for Cursor from boparaiamrit/skills-by-amrit. It costs 0 tokens per session (330 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A collection of security rules for code involving login, permissions, user input, or sensitive information. It covers validation, authentication, data handling, configuration, and error reporting.

In plain words
What is it for?
It guides developers in validating requests, protecting accounts and secrets, hashing passwords, using parameterized queries, preventing cross-site scripting, and configuring production systems safely.
Why use it?
It reduces common security mistakes such as trusting unvalidated input, exposing secrets, using unsafe database queries, or failing to check permissions. The rules apply security checks at the points where risks enter the system.

Cursor rule for Cursor

Written for Cursor: a Cursor rule (.mdc).

Good fit It guides developers in validating requests, protecting accounts and secrets, hashing passwords, using parameterized queries, preventing cross-site scripting, and configuring production systems safely.

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 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 7d 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.

What it actually says

Security Rules

Input Validation

  • Validate ALL user input at the boundary (API handler, form submission)
  • Use schema validation libraries (Zod, Joi, Yup) — not manual checks
  • Reject invalid input early with clear error messages
  • Never trust client-side validation alone

Authentication & Authorization

  • Every endpoint must have explicit auth requirements
  • Use middleware for auth checks — don't inline auth logic
  • Check authorization (permissions), not just authentication (identity)
  • Use secure session management with proper expiration

Data Security

  • Never log sensitive data (passwords, tokens, PII)
  • Hash passwords with bcrypt or argon2 (NEVER MD5 or SHA1)
  • Use parameterized queries — NEVER string concatenation for SQL
  • Sanitize output to prevent XSS (escape HTML, use framework defaults)
  • Set proper CORS headers (never use wildcard * in production)

Configuration Security

  • Never commit .env files (only .env.example)
  • Store secrets in environment variables, not source code
  • Use different credentials for dev/staging/production
  • Rotate API keys and secrets periodically
  • Disable debug mode in production

Error Handling

  • Never expose stack traces to end users
  • Log full error details server-side
  • Return generic error messages to clients
  • Implement rate limiting on authentication endpoints

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.
