Sensitive Data Leakage

Sensitive Data Leakage is a skill for Claude Code from allsmog/vuln-scout. It costs 53 tokens per session (3,797 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A security review method for finding credentials and other secrets that flow into outputs such as logs, error messages, or HTTP responses.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for scanning code for sensitive values and tracing whether they reach logging, error handling, network responses, or other output sinks.
Why use it?
It helps detect accidental exposure of passwords, tokens, API keys, private keys, and similar sensitive data.

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

Sensitive Data Leakage 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 10d 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.

Generic Sensitive Data Leakage Detection

Core Principle

IF data MATCHES sensitive_pattern
   AND data FLOWS TO output_sink
THEN potential_leak

This skill detects credentials, secrets, and sensitive data flowing to logging, error messages, HTTP responses, or any other output - regardless of which libraries the codebase uses.

Phase 1: Identify Sensitive Data (Sources)

1.1 Sensitive Naming Patterns

Search for variables, fields, parameters with these patterns:

Go:

grep -rniE "(secret|password|passwd|pwd|apikey|api_key|token|credential|private.?key|access.?key|auth.?token|bearer|encryption.?key|signing.?key|client.?secret|consumer.?secret|conn.?str|connection.?string)" --include="*.go" | grep -v "_test\.go"

Python:

grep -rniE "(secret|password|passwd|pwd|apikey|api_key|token|credential|private.?key|access.?key|auth.?token|bearer)" --include="*.py" | grep -v "test_"

Java:

grep -rniE "(secret|password|passwd|pwd|apiKey|api_key|token|credential|privateKey|accessKey|authToken|bearer)" --include="*.java" | grep -v "Test\.java"

JavaScript/TypeScript:

grep -rniE "(secret|password|passwd|pwd|apiKey|api_key|token|credential|privateKey|accessKey|authToken|bearer)" --include="*.js" --include="*.ts" | grep -v "\.test\." | grep -v "\.spec\."

1.2 Sensitive Function Returns

# Functions that return/fetch secrets (Go)
grep -rniE "func.*(Get|Read|Fetch|Load|Decrypt|Retrieve).*(Secret|Password|Key|Token|Cred)" --include="*.go"

# Assignments from credential functions
grep -rniE "(secret|password|key|token|cred).*:?=.*(Get|Read|Fetch|Load|Decrypt|Retrieve)" --include="*.go"

1.3 Sensitive Struct/Class Fields

# Go struct fields
grep -rniE "^\s+(Secret|Password|Key|Token|Credential|ApiKey|PrivateKey|AccessKey)\s+\S+" --include="*.go"

# Python class attributes
grep -rniE "self\.(secret|password|key|token|credential|api_key)" --include="*.py"

# Java fields
grep -rniE "(private|protected|public)\s+\S+\s+(secret|password|key|token|credential)" --include="*.java"

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.

Sensitive Data Leakage is a skill published in the GitHub repository allsmog/vuln-scout (24 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 53 tokens to every session and 3,797 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
