security-review

security-review is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from int2t05/engineering-skills. It costs 49 tokens per session (2,548 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A security-focused review of code and system changes for weaknesses involving secrets, login, permissions, untrusted input, data storage, and external integrations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for changes involving user input, authentication, sessions, uploads, webhooks, callbacks, payments, personal data, or third-party services.
Why use it?
It helps identify ways an attacker could access data, run unwanted commands, bypass permissions, or overload the system before release.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for Claude Code and Codex: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable, but also agents/openai.yaml present.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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 B, and why

security-review scanned grade B with 1 finding 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.

One request to 169.254.169.254 can return temporary IAM credentials.

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 130 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

When to use

  • Reviewing a change that touches user input, auth, or data storage
  • A feature accepts untrusted data, manages sessions, or integrates with external services
  • Adding file uploads, webhooks, callbacks, or payment/PII handling
  • Before merge on any security-sensitive change
  • Triggers on "security review", "check for vulnerabilities", "安全审查", "安全审计", "漏洞检查"

Not for: general code quality review (use code-review); performance profiling (use performance).

Steps

1. Threat model first

Controls bolted on without a threat model are guesses. Before reviewing hardening, spend five minutes thinking like an attacker:

  1. Map trust boundaries — HTTP requests, form fields, file uploads, webhooks, third-party APIs, message queues, LLM output. Every boundary is attack surface.
  2. Name the assets — credentials, PII, payment data, admin actions, money movement.
  3. Run STRIDE per boundary — Spoofing (auth, signature verification), Tampering (integrity, parameterized queries, HTTPS), Repudiation (audit logging), Information disclosure (encryption, field allowlists, generic errors), Denial of service (rate limiting, size caps, timeouts), Elevation of privilege (authorization checks, least privilege).
  4. Write abuse cases next to use cases — "how would I misuse this?" is your first test.

If you can't name the trust boundaries for a feature, it's not ready to secure (OWASP A04: Insecure Design — most breaches begin in design, not code).

2. Check the three-tier boundary system

Always do (no exceptions):

  • Validate all external input at the system boundary (API routes, form handlers)
  • Parameterize all database queries — never concatenate user input into SQL
  • Encode output to prevent XSS (use framework auto-escaping, don't bypass it)
  • HTTPS for all external communication
  • Hash passwords with bcrypt/scrypt/argon2 (salt rounds ≥ 12, never plaintext)
  • Security headers: CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options
  • httpOnly, secure, sameSite cookies for sessions
  • Run the package manager's native audit against the committed lockfile before every release

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

security-review is a skill published in the GitHub repository int2t05/engineering-skills (3 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 49 tokens to every session and 2,548 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (cloud metadata endpoint). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
