owasp-security

owasp-security is a skill for Claude Code from georgekhananaev/claude-skills-vault. It costs 53 tokens per session (4,033 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A security review guide based on OWASP web-application standards. It covers common risks such as broken access control, unsafe input handling, authentication failures, insecure configuration, and cryptographic mistakes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when reviewing code, implementing authentication or authorization, validating user input, or discussing web-application security.
Why use it?
It provides a checklist for finding vulnerabilities before they reach users. It also helps developers choose safer patterns for handling data, sessions, permissions, and dependencies.

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

owasp-security scanned grade A with 2 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.

OWASP Security Best Practices Skill

Apply these security standards when writing or reviewing code.

Quick Reference: OWASP Top 10:2025

# Vulnerability Key Prevention
A01 Broken Access Control Deny by default, enforce server-side, verify ownership
A02 Security Misconfiguration Harden configs, disable defaults, minimize features
A03 Supply Chain Failures Lock versions, verify integrity, audit dependencies
A04 Cryptographic Failures TLS 1.2+, AES-256-GCM, Argon2/bcrypt for passwords
A05 Injection Parameterized queries, input validation, safe APIs
A06 Insecure Design Threat model, rate limit, design security controls
A07 Auth Failures MFA, check breached passwords, secure sessions
A08 Integrity Failures Sign packages, SRI for CDN, safe serialization
A09 Logging Failures Log security events, structured format, alerting
A10 Exception Handling Fail-closed, hide internals, log with context

Security Code Review Checklist

When reviewing code, check for these issues:

Input Handling

  • All user input validated server-side
  • Using parameterized queries (not string concatenation)
  • Input length limits enforced
  • Allowlist validation preferred over denylist

Authentication & Sessions

  • Passwords hashed with Argon2/bcrypt (not MD5/SHA1)
  • Session tokens have sufficient entropy (128+ bits)
  • Sessions invalidated on logout
  • MFA available for sensitive operations

Access Control

  • Authorization checked on every request
  • Using object references user cannot manipulate
  • Deny by default policy
  • Privilege escalation paths reviewed

Data Protection

  • Sensitive data encrypted at rest
  • TLS for all data in transit
  • No sensitive data in URLs/logs
  • Secrets in environment/vault (not code)

Error Handling

  • No stack traces exposed to users
  • Fail-closed on errors (deny, not allow)
  • All exceptions logged with context
  • Consistent error responses (no enumeration)

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.
