vuln-scanner

vuln-scanner is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aeonfun/aeon. It costs 39 tokens per session (19,308 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A security workflow for auditing public GitHub repositories for real vulnerabilities and handling responsible disclosure. It can scan repositories, route findings for fixes, resubmit queued advisories, and queue email disclosures.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit a repository, check a security watchlist for newly eligible reports, submit queued advisories, or prepare disclosure emails.
Why use it?
It provides a defined path from finding a vulnerability to reporting it instead of exposing unpatched issues publicly. It also separates scanning, resubmission, and disclosure actions.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code; mentions Codex.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is ./scripts/vuln-poc-gate.sh foundry \.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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 B, and why

vuln-scanner scanned grade B with 2 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.

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 1,135 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

${var} — Action selector, shaped [<action>][:<owner/repo>]. Empty or a bare owner/reposcan arm (audit that repo, or auto-select a trending one). resubmit / resubmit:owner/repore-submit arm (probe the security watchlist for repos that just enabled PVR and submit any queued advisory). disclose / emaildisclose arm (queue armed out-of-band email disclosures for sending). Examples:

  • `` → scan, auto-select from trending
  • openai/whisper → scan openai/whisper
  • resubmit → probe the whole watchlist and re-submit what flipped
  • resubmit:vercel/next.js → probe just that repo (one-off)
  • disclose (alias email) → arm & queue eligible disclosure emails
  • poc-smoke → exercise the PoC gate against a benign real Base fork (no audit or disclosure)

Today is ${today}. Read memory/MEMORY.md and the last 30 days of memory/logs/ before starting.

Why this skill exists

This is the write / action arm of the vuln-disclosure loop — one skill covering the full responsible-disclosure lifecycle:

  • Scan — a security scanner that dumps unpatched vulnerabilities into public PRs is a zero-day publisher, not a helper. This skill matches industry practice: Private Vulnerability Reporting (PVR) for code flaws, public PRs only for dependency CVEs that are already public. Bad disclosure burns credibility and puts users at risk.
  • Re-submit — when a scan finds a HIGH/CRITICAL issue in a repo with no PVR, no SECURITY.md, and no reachable contact, it has no safe channel — so it logs the finding as "channel": "skipped" in memory/vuln-scanned.json and stages a watchlist row. Without a weekly probe those findings silently age until the responsible-disclosure window closes. The re-submit arm closes that loop.
  • Disclose — when the only responsible path is a private email to the maintainer, drafts sit in memory/pending-disclosures/ with status: pending-operator-send, waiting for a human. The disclose arm finds drafts explicitly armed for auto-send, composes the email, and sends it in-run (Resend via ./secretcurl) behind a set of fail-closed caps — the send is the arm's final action.

vuln-scanner is a skill published in the GitHub repository aeonfun/aeon (716 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 39 tokens to every session and 19,308 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-05.
