elixir-security-review

elixir-security-review is a skill for Claude Code from existential-birds/beagle. It costs 38 tokens per session (718 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A security checklist for Elixir code, the programming language used in the reviewed files. It looks for unsafe handling of user input, external data, and secrets.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review Elixir code that evaluates data, converts input to atoms, reads files, uses ETS tables, or loads configuration and secrets.
Why use it?
It helps catch vulnerabilities such as code injection, atom exhaustion, path traversal, and accidentally committed secrets before they reach production.

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

elixir-security-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 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.

Quick Reference

Issue Type Reference

String.to_atom dangers references/atom-exhaustion.md
Config, environment variables references/secrets.md
ETS visibility, process dictionary references/process-exposure.md

Review Checklist

Critical (Block Merge)

  • No Code.eval_string/1 on user input
  • No :erlang.binary_to_term/1 without :safe on untrusted data
  • No String.to_atom/1 on external input
  • No hardcoded secrets in source code

Major

  • ETS tables use appropriate access controls
  • No sensitive data in process dictionary
  • No dynamic module creation from user input
  • Path traversal prevented in file operations

Configuration

  • Secrets loaded from environment
  • No secrets in config/*.exs committed to git
  • Runtime config used for deployment secrets

Valid Patterns (Do NOT Flag)

  • String.to_atom on compile-time constants - Atoms created at compile time are safe
  • Code.eval_string in dev/test - May be needed for tooling
  • ETS :public tables - Valid when intentionally shared
  • binary_to_term with :safe - Explicitly safe option used

Context-Sensitive Rules

Issue Flag ONLY IF
String.to_atom Input comes from external source (user, API, file)
binary_to_term Data comes from untrusted source
ETS :public Contains sensitive data

Hard gates (before reporting)

Complete in order for each finding you intend to report. Do not advance until the pass condition is satisfied.

  1. Location artifact — The finding includes [FILE:LINE] (or a line range) that you copied from the current file contents; the path resolves in this repo.
  2. Scope read — You read the full surrounding function or module section that contains the flagged code, not only a diff hunk or summary.
  3. External-data claim (only if the finding depends on “user/untrusted input”) — You can name one concrete ingress (for example conn.params, Jason.decode!/1 result, uploaded file path, message from another node) or you drop the finding because the value is compile-time, test-only, or internal per Context-Sensitive Rules.
  4. Protocol — Pre-report steps in review-verification-protocol are satisfied for this item (no finding if they are not).

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.
