audit-security

audit-security is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from JoseArron/skills. It costs 153 tokens per session (1,653 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A code-security review skill that looks for vulnerabilities where untrusted data reaches sensitive operations. It covers access control, authentication, injection, browser output, unsafe URLs and uploads, and data exposure.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit web or application code for IDOR, privilege escalation, password and session flaws, JWT and CSRF issues, SQL injection, XXE, path traversal, XSS, SSRF, open redirects, unsafe file uploads, and data leaks.
Why use it?
It helps find missing server-side checks that could let attackers access other users' data, bypass permissions, inject code, or expose information. It applies a fail-closed and least-privilege approach to the review.

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

audit-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 6d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 93 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Audit Security

Find where untrusted data crosses a trust boundary without the right check, and close the gap without breaking the feature. Approach the code as a bug hunter: assume every input is hostile until a server-side check proves otherwise.

Examples lean on a web stack (HTTP, a browser, an ORM, JWT) because that is where these bugs cluster, but the boundaries apply to any stack — swap the mechanism for whatever yours uses.

Glossary

  • Trust boundary — the line untrusted data crosses on its way into a sensitive operation: network → app, input → interpreter, app → browser, one principal → another's resource. Every vulnerability here is data crossing one of these without the check that boundary demands.
  • Fail closed — on any error, ambiguity, or missing check, deny. A thrown exception must not land the user inside the protected action.
  • Least privilege — every principal, token, and database role gets the minimum scope the task needs, nothing held "just in case".
  • Server-side truth — every security decision is re-made on the server. Client-side checks are UX, never enforcement; a control the user cannot see is still reachable by a crafted request.
  • Defense in depth — no single control is the only thing standing between an attacker and the asset.

Axes

A security audit walks six trust boundaries. Each has a detail file with the smells, heuristics, and fixes for that boundary. Read the relevant file before classifying a finding — the heuristic is the citation, not a hunch.

  • Access control — can this principal perform this action on this specific resource? IDOR, horizontal/vertical access, privilege escalation, mass assignment, tenant isolation, account lifecycle. See ACCESS-CONTROL.md.
  • Auth & sessions — is the requester who they claim, is the session valid, and is this state change intentional? Password storage, JWT, cookie/session security, CSRF. See AUTH-AND-SESSIONS.md.
  • Injection — does untrusted input reach an interpreter as code or structure? SQL, XXE, path traversal, command/template injection. See INJECTION.md.
  • XSS & output — is untrusted data rendered into a browser context unencoded? Reflected/stored/DOM XSS, contextual encoding, CSP, sniffing/framing headers. See XSS.md.
  • Untrusted URLs & uploads — does the server fetch a URL or accept a file it did not originate? SSRF, open redirect, insecure file upload. See SSRF-AND-UPLOADS.md.
  • Data exposure — do secrets or sensitive data reach where they should not be visible? Secrets in client code, PII handling, transport headers, leaky errors. See DATA-EXPOSURE.md.

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.

audit-security is a skill published in the GitHub repository JoseArron/skills (2 stars, last pushed 19d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 153 tokens to every session and 1,653 once invoked, about $0.0008 per session on Opus 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.
