secure-code-review

secure-code-review is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from JayRHa/AgentSkills. It costs 120 tokens per session (1,070 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A security-focused review of code or a code change that looks for common ways attackers can break software. It explains each issue, how it could be exploited, its severity, and a fix.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review selected files or a diff for vulnerabilities and get ranked, concrete remediation steps.
Why use it?
It helps find security bugs such as injection, broken access controls, exposed secrets, unsafe file handling, and missing input checks before they reach users.

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

secure-code-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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/secret_scan.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Secure Code Review

Overview

Review code through the eyes of an attacker. For each finding, name the vulnerability class, show how it's exploited, rate severity, and give a concrete fix. Scope to the diff/files provided; pull in just enough surrounding code (callers, trust boundaries) to judge exploitability.

Keywords: security review, secure code review, vulnerability, OWASP, injection, SQLi, XSS, command injection, authentication, authorization, IDOR, broken access control, crypto, secrets, hardcoded credentials, deserialization, SSRF, path traversal, input validation, CSRF.

Workflow

  1. Map trust boundaries. Identify where untrusted data enters: HTTP params/body/headers, file uploads, env, message queues, DB rows from other tenants, third-party APIs. Untrusted input is where most bugs live.
  2. Trace tainted data to sinks. Follow each untrusted input to dangerous sinks (SQL, shell, file paths, HTML output, deserializers, redirects, template engines). A flow from source → sink without sanitization is a finding.
  3. Review each vulnerability class using references/vuln-patterns.md: injection, broken access control/authz, auth & session, crypto, secrets, deserialization, SSRF, path traversal, CSRF, security misconfig, sensitive-data exposure.
  4. Check authorization on every sensitive operation. Authentication ≠ authorization. Confirm object-level checks (does this user own this record?) to catch IDOR / broken access control.
  5. Scan for low-hanging fruit with scripts/secret_scan.py (hardcoded secrets, dangerous function calls). Triage hits — it's a starting point, not proof.
  6. Rate severity (Critical/High/Medium/Low) by exploitability × impact, using references/checklist.md.
  7. Write findings with: class, file:line, exploit scenario, severity, and a concrete fix (prefer a diff). End with a verdict and a prioritized fix list.

Decision Heuristics

  • Assume all external input is hostile until validated/escaped at the sink.
  • Escape at the sink, validate at the boundary — parameterized queries beat input filtering.
  • Deny by default for access control; explicit allow per resource and action.
  • Never trust client-side checks — they're UX, not security.
  • Secrets in code = Critical, even in tests or comments, because of git history.
  • If uncertain it's exploitable, mark "Possible:" and state what would confirm it.

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.

secure-code-review is a skill published in the GitHub repository JayRHa/AgentSkills (12 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 120 tokens to every session and 1,070 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
