security-scanning

security-scanning is a skill for Claude Code from bobmatnyc/claude-mpm-skills. It costs 21 tokens per session (486 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A security-scanning process for continuous integration, which automatically checks code and dependencies for secrets, known vulnerabilities, and unsafe patterns.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to scan secrets, dependencies, and source code; assess open-source licence and maintenance risk; and manage temporary security exceptions.
Why use it?
It catches exposed credentials, risky third-party packages, and security defects before they reach production, while giving exceptions an owner and expiry date.

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-scanning 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 9d 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.

What it actually says

Security Scanning

Quick Start

  • Secrets: fail fast; rotate on exposure.
  • Dependencies: gate critical/high; automate updates.
  • SAST: start high-signal; ratchet over time.
  • Open Source Safety: score components on three axes — license tier, severity-weighted CVEs, obsolescence.
  • Exceptions: require reason, owner, and expiry.

Open Source Safety

Third-party component risk is more than "vulnerable: yes/no". Evaluate each component on three independent dimensions and gate on the worst:

  • License risk: HIGH = strong copyleft / GPL/AGPL/LGPL (whole-app disclosure risk); MEDIUM = weak copyleft / MPL, EPL (modification disclosure only); LOW = permissive / MIT, Apache-2.0, BSD. Unknown/NOASSERTION → treat as HIGH until identified.
  • CVE weighting: weight by severity (critical ≫ high ≫ medium ≫ low) rather than raw counts; critical/high block, medium/low track with owner + expiry.
  • Obsolescence: score the gap to latest version; majors-behind or unmaintained upstream is elevated risk.

See references/open-source-safety.md for the full framework, tier tables, the CVE weighting model, obsolescence scoring, and the transitive-dependency trust model.

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.
