Threat Modeling

Threat Modeling is a skill for Claude Code from allsmog/vuln-scout. It costs 63 tokens per session (2,317 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured way to identify security threats in an application by breaking down its components, data flows, and trust boundaries. It uses STRIDE, a framework for checking common threat types such as fake identities, altered data, and data leaks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to map an application's attack surface, draw data-flow diagrams, list threats for each component, and rank security risks.
Why use it?
It turns a broad security review into a repeatable checklist and helps decide which parts of an application deserve closer inspection.

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

Threat Modeling 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 11d 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.

Threat Modeling

Purpose

Provide systematic methodology for identifying security threats through technology decomposition, data flow analysis, and STRIDE-based threat enumeration. This skill helps transform architectural understanding into actionable security findings.

Key Insight: Threat modeling answers "What could go wrong?" systematically. It bridges the gap between understanding an application and hunting for vulnerabilities.


When to Use

Activate this skill when:

  • After running /vuln-scout:threats --quick to understand the app
  • Before targeted sink searching (to prioritize what to look for)
  • When analyzing a new component or service
  • To create visual data flow diagrams
  • When systematically enumerating threats per component
  • To score and prioritize security risks

STRIDE Methodology

STRIDE is a threat classification framework. For each component, analyze:

Category Question Example Threat
Spoofing Can identity be faked? JWT algorithm confusion, session hijacking
Tampering Can data be modified? SQL injection, parameter manipulation
Repudiation Can actions be denied? Missing audit logs, unsigned transactions
Information Disclosure Can data leak? Error messages, log exposure, IDOR
Denial of Service Can it be overwhelmed? ReDoS, resource exhaustion, billion laughs
Elevation of Privilege Can access be escalated? Broken access control, role manipulation

Threat Modeling Workflow

Phase 1: Technology Decomposition

Break down the application into components:

1. Entry Points (where data enters)
   - HTTP endpoints, WebSocket, file uploads, API integrations

2. Processing Components (where data transforms)
   - Controllers, services, background jobs, validators

3. Data Stores (where data persists)
   - Databases, caches, file systems, queues

4. External Dependencies (what system trusts)
   - Third-party APIs, OAuth providers, CDN

5. Security Components (what protects)
   - Authentication, authorization, encryption, validation

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.

Threat Modeling is a skill published in the GitHub repository allsmog/vuln-scout (24 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 63 tokens to every session and 2,317 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.
