managing-vulnerabilities

managing-vulnerabilities is a skill for Claude Code from ancoleman/ai-design-components. It costs 60 tokens per session (3,744 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to finding and managing security weaknesses in software, containers, dependencies, source code, and running applications.

In plain words
What is it for?
Setting up container, code, dependency, secret, and application scans; generating software bills of materials; creating build-blocking security gates; and prioritizing fixes with measures such as CVSS, EPSS, and KEV.
Why use it?
It brings different security checks into one CI/CD process and helps teams prioritize issues by risk instead of treating every finding alike.

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

managing-vulnerabilities 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 6d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 5 executable files (examples/prioritization/epss-integration.py, examples/prioritization/kev-checker.py, examples/trivy/basic-scan.sh, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Vulnerability Management

Implement comprehensive vulnerability detection and remediation workflows across containers, source code, dependencies, and running applications. This skill covers multi-layer scanning strategies, SBOM generation (CycloneDX and SPDX), risk-based prioritization using CVSS/EPSS/KEV, and CI/CD security gate patterns.

When to Use This Skill

Invoke this skill when:

  • Building security scanning into CI/CD pipelines
  • Generating Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs) for compliance
  • Prioritizing vulnerability remediation using risk-based approaches
  • Implementing security gates (fail builds on critical vulnerabilities)
  • Scanning container images before deployment
  • Detecting secrets, misconfigurations, or code vulnerabilities
  • Establishing DevSecOps practices and automation
  • Meeting regulatory requirements (SBOM mandates, Executive Order 14028)

Multi-Layer Scanning Strategy

Vulnerability management requires scanning at multiple layers. Each layer detects different types of security issues.

Layer Overview

Container Image Scanning

  • Detects vulnerabilities in OS packages, language dependencies, and binaries
  • Tools: Trivy (comprehensive), Grype (accuracy-focused), Snyk Container (commercial)
  • When: Every container build, base image selection, registry admission control

SAST (Static Application Security Testing)

  • Analyzes source code for security flaws before runtime
  • Tools: Semgrep (fast, semantic), Snyk Code (developer-first), SonarQube (enterprise)
  • When: Every commit, PR checks, main branch protection

DAST (Dynamic Application Security Testing)

  • Tests running applications for vulnerabilities (black-box testing)
  • Tools: OWASP ZAP (open-source), StackHawk (CI/CD native), Burp Suite (manual + automated)
  • When: Staging environment testing, API validation, authentication testing

SCA (Software Composition Analysis)

  • Analyzes third-party dependencies for known vulnerabilities
  • Tools: Dependabot (GitHub native), Renovate (advanced), Snyk Open Source (commercial)
  • When: Every build, dependency updates, license audits
