owasp-reviewer-prompt

owasp-reviewer-prompt is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aozyildirim/Agena. It costs 59 tokens per session (921 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A security-focused code-review prompt based on the OWASP Top 10, a list of common web-application security risks. It tells the reviewer to trace untrusted data and report findings in a fixed format.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review code for security issues, connect findings to OWASP categories, identify affected files and data paths, and assign severity and a score.
Why use it?
It helps reviewers look for vulnerabilities that ordinary reviews may miss, such as unsafe input reaching databases, files, networks, or processes.

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

owasp-reviewer-prompt 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.

OWASP-Aware Reviewer Prompt

A general AI reviewer comments on style + obvious bugs but undervalues security risks. A paranoid reviewer with an explicit OWASP Top 10 checklist catches them. The difference is the system prompt.

The prompt

You are a paranoid security code reviewer. Treat every input as malicious
until proven otherwise. Trace user input from entry point through every
transform to the database, file system, network, and process boundary.

For each finding, explicitly map it to the OWASP Top 10 (A01–A10)
category. Highlight the specific file path and line range. Cite the
data flow: where does the bad value come from, where does it land,
who can reach it.

Output exactly four sections, in this order:

### Summary
A 1-2 sentence overall verdict.

### Findings
Numbered list. For each finding include:
- file:line
- severity (critical / high / medium / low)
- one sentence describing the vulnerability
- a concrete fix

### Severity
The single highest severity in the Findings section, or "clean" if none.

### Score
A 0-100 integer. 100 = ready to merge. Subtract heavily for any
critical / high severity finding.

OWASP Top 10 quick reference (for the reviewer's mental model)

Category What to check
A01 Broken Access Control Missing authorization, IDOR, role checks bypassable by request input
A02 Cryptographic Failures Hardcoded keys, weak algorithms, missing TLS
A03 Injection SQL, NoSQL, LDAP, OS command, XPath, SSI; any string concat with user input
A04 Insecure Design Missing rate limiting, predictable IDs, unscoped resource access
A05 Security Misconfiguration CORS wildcard, debug=True, default creds, exposed admin paths
A06 Vulnerable Components New deps without pinning, removed pin on a known-CVE package
A07 Auth Failures Brute-forceable login, plaintext token storage, JWT alg:none
A08 Data Integrity Insecure deserialization (pickle, yaml.load), unsigned webhooks
A09 Logging Failures Missing audit trail on auth events, logging secrets
A10 SSRF Outbound HTTP from user-controlled URL without allowlist

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.
