security-groups-review

security-groups-review is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Cognisn/cloudledger. It costs 88 tokens per session (1,079 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review of every security group in an AWS account. Security groups act like firewalls that control which network connections can reach or leave cloud resources.

In plain words
What is it for?
Auditing security groups, finding overly open access to sensitive ports, checking internet-facing resources, tracing an IP or network range, and understanding where groups sit in the account’s network.
Why use it?
It explains what the firewall rules expose and what that could mean for risk, instead of leaving you with a raw list of rules.

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-groups-review 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 3d 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.

Security groups review

Audit every security group in a scanned account and explain what each one actually exposes — not just list rules, but say what they mean for risk.

Tools

  • find_security_group_rules — every security group and its ingress/egress rules. Returns {security_groups, count}. This is the full inventory.
  • find_security_group_violations — groups with overly permissive rules on sensitive ports, pre-analysed. Returns {summary, violations_by_port, security_groups_with_violations, recommendations}.
  • analyze_service_exposure (service ec2) — which instances are actually reachable through their attached groups, with the evidence chain.
  • get_network_interfaces_with_public_ips — the ENIs that are internet-facing, to see which groups sit on a public edge. Returns {network_interfaces, count}.
  • get_vpc_architecture / get_vpc_topology_detailed — where a group sits in the VPC, when the user wants topology context.
  • search_by_ip — trace a specific CIDR or address through the groups.

Workflow

1. Resolve the scan and get the full inventory

Use the latest scan unless the user names a scan_id or account (list_scans accepts an account_number filter). Call find_security_group_rules for the complete set of groups and their rules, and report the total count — this review covers all of them, not a sample.

2. Surface the violations first

Call find_security_group_violations. Lead the review with these: groups open to 0.0.0.0/0 or ::/0 on sensitive ports (SSH 22, RDP 3389, databases 3306/5432/1433/27017/6379, and all-traffic rules). Use violations_by_port to show what is exposed where, and carry the tool's recommendations into your own.

3. Turn rules into implications — the point of the review

For each notable group, do not just restate the rule; explain the consequence:

  • World-open sensitive port → a directly reachable attack surface. Name the service on the port and the likely attacker action (e.g. SSH brute force, an unauthenticated database connection).
  • All-traffic (-1) from 0.0.0.0/0 → every service behind the group is exposed; treat as high severity regardless of what is attached today.
  • Default security group with rules → applies to anything launched without an explicit group; unintended exposure.
  • Broad internal CIDRs (e.g. 10.0.0.0/8) → lateral-movement surface; lower priority than world-open but note it for defence in depth.
  • Egress wide open → note it as an exfiltration/uncontrolled-outbound path, distinct from ingress exposure.

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.
