fossa-protect

fossa-protect is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from darthzen/fossa-mcp. It costs 151 tokens per session (10,151 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A FOSSA-to-NeuVector tool for creating runtime security controls from vulnerability and license findings. NeuVector is a container security system; its WAF checks incoming requests, while quarantine isolates workloads from the network.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create regex-based WAF sensors for vulnerabilities that can be matched in requests, and quarantine workloads affected by license conflicts. The controls are attached to the relevant NeuVector groups in alert-only mode.
Why use it?
It provides temporary or ongoing protection when a vulnerable dependency cannot be upgraded quickly. It also makes clear that these controls reduce exposure but do not fix the underlying vulnerability.

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

fossa-protect 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 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.

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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 711 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

fossa-protect

Read a project's vulnerabilities out of FOSSA, decide which are actually mitigable by a regex WAF, write sensors for those, and bind them to the right NeuVector groups in an alert-only mode.

Why this workflow exists: so the security team can mitigate immediately and unilaterally, without waiting on the dev team. In practice — especially with legacy code — the upgrade can take years or never happen at all: maintainers leave, nobody knows where the source lives or what server it runs on. The sensor is a real mitigation in its own right, not a placeholder for a fix that is presumed imminent. Plan for it to be the operative control indefinitely: write comments that survive team turnover, validate rather than assume, and treat the Protect-mode warning as more important the longer a binding will live, not less.

The honest framing, stated up front and never dropped: a NeuVector WAF sensor is regex matched against request context — nothing more. Only upgrading the vulnerable dependency closes the CVE, so every report this skill produces names the version bump that actually fixes the finding — as the parallel dev-side track, not as a reason to withhold or undersell the mitigation. Honesty cuts both ways: never inflate what a rule catches (step 3's classification), and never dismiss a validated sensor as "just a stopgap".

Ask which project if it isn't named. Everything else below is procedure.

Two enforcement tracks, by finding type. Sections 1–8 are the vulnerability → WAF sensor track (regex inspection of request context). A license conflict is a different problem with a different control — there is no attack request to regex, the finding is a legal blocker on shipping at all — and it routes to the licensing → quarantine track at the end of this file. Pick the track from the finding category; the two share the step-2 deployment-correlation discipline but nothing else.

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.

fossa-protect is a skill published in the GitHub repository darthzen/fossa-mcp (1 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 151 tokens to every session and 10,151 once invoked, about $0.0008 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
