security

security is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Effulgent-Point/paw. It costs 0 tokens per session (582 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A security checklist for code involving login systems, user-provided data, external services, or sensitive information. It covers common web risks such as weak access controls, injection, unsafe settings, and exposed data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review authentication, input validation, API calls, dependency risks, logging, encryption, and outbound requests.
Why use it?
It helps developers find security weaknesses at the system boundaries and before deployment.

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 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 1mo 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 Skill

When to use: Any code touching authentication, user input, external APIs, or sensitive data.

OWASP Top 10 cheat sheet

# Category One-line check
A01 Broken access control Is authz checked at the endpoint boundary, not just the UI?
A02 Crypto failures Any weak algorithms (MD5, SHA1 for passwords)? Plaintext sensitive data?
A03 Injection Is every query parameterized? Any string interpolation into SQL/commands?
A04 Insecure design Was there a threat model? Or just hoping for the best?
A05 Misconfiguration Debug mode off in prod? Default credentials removed? CORS restrictive?
A06 Vulnerable components Dependencies audited for CVEs?
A07 Auth failures Session fixation possible? Password policy enforced?
A08 Data integrity Updates signed? CI inputs trusted?
A09 Logging failures Security events logged? PII NOT logged?
A10 SSRF Outbound requests validated? DNS rebinding mitigated?

Input validation patterns

  • Validate at the boundary — first point where external data enters your system
  • Check: type, length, format, range, encoding
  • Reject early — don't process invalid input hoping it works out
  • Prefer allowlists (define what's valid) over denylists (define what's invalid)

Output encoding

Context-dependent — there is no universal "escape":

Context Encoding
HTML body HTML entity encode (&lt;, &gt;, &amp;)
HTML attribute Attribute encode + quote the attribute
JavaScript JS string encode, or use JSON.stringify
SQL Parameterized queries (not escaping)
URL URL encode (encodeURIComponent)

Secret management

  • Environment variables or secret manager (Vault, AWS SSM, GCP Secret Manager)
  • Never in source code, never in git history
  • Rotate immediately on any leak — investigate after
  • Different secrets per environment
  • Short-lived tokens preferred over long-lived API keys

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.

security is a skill published in the GitHub repository Effulgent-Point/paw (2 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 582 tokens. 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.
