authnz-review

authnz-review is a skill for Claude Code from appsec-foundry/appsec-advisor. It costs 130 tokens per session (5,048 once invoked), scanned C, original, no licence file.

A repository security review that scans routes, authentication checks, and insecure direct object references (IDOR), then examines how the results connect across the application.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review a codebase for authentication and authorization weaknesses, especially cross-component IDOR chains and gaps in role-based access control.
Why use it?
It helps find missing role checks, unsafe token settings, and privilege-escalation paths that a single-file scan may miss.

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 C, and why

authnz-review scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 8d 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.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

A licence we could not identify

The repository carries a LICENSE file, but it is custom or dual enough that GitHub cannot name it and neither can this catalogue. Unknown terms are not permission, so the body is not copied here. Read the licence at the source and decide for yourself.

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.
