cve-allocate

cve-allocate is a skill for Claude Code from apache/magpie. It costs 79 tokens per session (7,424 once invoked), scanned B, original, Apache-2.0.

A guided workflow for assigning a CVE, the standard identifier for a publicly reported security flaw, to a tracking issue. It shows the configured allocation page, waits for the assigned ID, and updates the issue.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when a security team member needs to allocate a CVE and record the allocation link, label, comment, and status on an issue.
Why use it?
It removes the need to copy the CVE identifier and related status changes into the tracker by hand, while enforcing the project's approval gate.

About the project

Apache Magpie is a framework of agent-assisted workflows for maintaining Apache software projects, including issue triage, pull-request review, contributor mentoring, and security-report handling. Apache maintainers and developers use it to delegate repetitive project work to coding agents while retaining human review. Its catalogue entries are the skills, instructions, plugin, and settings that implement these workflows.

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 B, and why

cve-allocate scanned grade B with 2 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 yesterday.

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.

curl | sh runs whatever the server returns today, which is not necessarily what it returned when this was reviewed.

(`curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh`).

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 469 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

security-cve-allocate

Pre-flight — is this project set up?

Do this first, before anything else in this skill, and do it silently. One command answers it and carries its own rules; there is nothing else to read.

Run the checker with this skill's own frontmatter name: and surface_hash:, and one --requires for each requires_config: entry:

PYTHONPATH=".apache-magpie-local:$(git rev-parse --git-common-dir)/../.apache-magpie-local:$(git rev-parse --git-common-dir)/apache-magpie" \
  python3 -m setup_preflight --skill <name> --hash <surface_hash> [--requires <file>]...

The path finds the checker /magpie-setup:setup config installed in the personal layer: this checkout's .apache-magpie-local/, the main checkout's when this is a linked worktree, or the git directory's apache-magpie/ when Magpie is only installed.

  • {"verdict": "ok"} → silent. Continue into the work the user asked for and say nothing about pre-flight. This is the ordinary answer.
  • {"verdict": "action", ...} → each finding names a section, and rules carries that section's text. Follow it. The facts are the inputs; what to propose, and what may not be done, are in the rules rather than here. Act on a finding only through its rules.
  • The command did not run at all — no such module, a non-zero exit, no python3 — → never read that as a pass, and do not re-derive the check by hand: it lives in code so that there is one version of it. If the project has no .apache-magpie.lock, .apache-magpie-overrides/, or personal layer (any of the three directories above), nothing has been set up here and there is nothing to reconcile — resolve this skill's requires_config: entries yourself (first match wins: .apache-magpie-local/<file>, the main checkout's .apache-magpie-local/<file>, <git-common-dir>/apache-magpie/<file>, then .apache-magpie-overrides/<file>), stay silent if they all resolve, and run /magpie-setup:setup config for this skill if any does not, which also installs the checker. Otherwise the project is set up and its checker is missing or stale: say so, propose /magpie-setup:setup config to install it or /magpie-setup:setup upgrade to refresh it, and carry on with the work.

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.
