vulnhunt

vulnhunt is a skill for Claude Code from capitalone/VulnHunter. It costs 42 tokens per session (4,862 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A code-security audit workflow that finds user-controlled inputs, follows them to dangerous operations, and tests whether they can be exploited.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for auditing a repository, proving security vulnerabilities with executable tests, and proposing fixes that are checked against the problem.
Why use it?
It helps reveal security defects that ordinary code reading or basic tests may miss, while checking whether a suspected issue is actually exploitable.

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

vulnhunt 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.

VulnHunter Security Audit Skill

MANDATORY FIRST ACTIONS

Step 0: Model check (interactive/direct invocation only). When invoked interactively — i.e. path B below, with no "Pre-resolved scan metadata" block — inspect the model you are running as. If it is NOT Opus 4.7 or higher, STOP immediately and tell the user (do not run any tools, resolve the target, or offer the mode menu yet):

⚠️ VulnHunter is optimized for Claude Opus 4.7/4.8 and may be unreliable on other models. Please switch with the /model opus command, then re-run /vulnhunt.

Wait for the user. Only proceed past this step once they are on Opus, or if they explicitly reply that they want to continue on the current model anyway.

Skip this check under path A (agent-driven); the agent controls the model.

Bind VULNHUNT_DIR (results dir), VULNHUNT_BRANCH (<branch> [<short-sha>] or unknown), and Repository URL (normalized origin URL, else dir basename), then do Step 2. Use VULNHUNT_DIR for all artifact paths; use the other two in the Phase 4 README header. Get these one of two ways:

A — Agent-driven: the kickoff prompt has a "Pre-resolved scan metadata" block. Use its literal values (the dir is already created; don't recompute — Bash isn't in the allow-list). Its Bash line drives Step 2: "NOT available" → read-only; "AVAILABLE" → install.

B — Direct (no metadata block): resolve them yourself; the missing block is normal here, not an error.

  • Target: the current directory, unless the invocation names a path. Confirm in one line.
  • Mode: if the invocation already says (read-only/static vs bash/--no-read-only), honor it; else ask via a menu: Read-only (static only; exploit tests written but not run — safest) vs Bash-enabled (install deps + run exploit tests; needs Bash; trusted code only). Don't start Phase 1 until resolved.
  • Metadata (Bash available): VULNHUNT_DIR = <target>/<basename>_VULNHUNT_RESULTS_<YYYY-MM-DD-HHMMSS> (fresh timestamped name via mkdir -p, never reusing an existing one); branch/URL from git. No Bash: ask the user to enable it or supply a pre-made dir path + branch/URL.
