security-default-review-for-web-apps

security-default-review-for-web-apps is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from andrewsrigom/agent-skills. It costs 54 tokens per session (590 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A practical first-pass security review for web applications, focused on where users, secrets, and sensitive actions meet.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to list public inputs and privileged actions, inspect trust boundaries, and decide whether a more specific security review is needed.
Why use it?
It helps find the main security risk before coding fixes, such as exposed secrets, weak permissions, or unsafe handling of user input.

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-default-review-for-web-apps 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 12d 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.

Security Default Review For Web Apps

Use this skill when the task is to find the highest-risk web security boundary before the team starts patching randomly.

Scope

  • high-level security review for web apps
  • deciding whether the main risk is secrets, authorization, or input handling
  • identifying public input and privileged actions
  • routing to narrower security skills

Routing cues

  • security review, secure by default, trust boundary, secret exposure, authz review, dangerous sink, or “what is the main risk here” -> use this skill
  • if the core issue is client vs server boundary or secret handling -> use security-client-server-boundary-and-secret-exposure
  • if the core issue is permissions, actor trust, or multi-tenant access -> use security-authz-and-trust-boundaries
  • if the core issue is untrusted input reaching dangerous sinks -> use security-input-validation-and-dangerous-sinks

Default path

  1. List the public inputs, authenticated actors, and privileged actions.
  2. Identify where secrets or sensitive data live.
  3. Mark the trust boundaries:
    • browser vs server
    • unauthenticated vs authenticated
    • authenticated vs authorized
    • internal service vs external caller
  4. Pick the highest-risk boundary.
  5. Route the fix through the narrower security skill that owns that boundary.

When to deviate

  • Stay at the overview level only when the user truly needs a triage map rather than a fix.
  • Escalate beyond these skills when the issue is infrastructure, cryptography, or compliance-specific rather than app-boundary specific.

Guardrails

  • Do not call this a full security audit.
  • Prioritize exploitable trust-boundary mistakes over broad best-practice checklists.
  • Treat the browser as untrusted by default.
  • Separate authentication, authorization, and input safety clearly.

Avoid

  • giving equal weight to every theoretical issue
  • focusing only on XSS and SQL injection while missing authz failures or secret leaks
  • trusting UI checks as a security boundary
  • calling a review complete without naming the highest-risk surface

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.
