audit-security

audit-security is a skill for Claude Code from kensaurus/cursor-kenji. It costs 65 tokens per session (2,509 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A static security review of application code for common web risks, including injection, unsafe headers, vulnerable dependencies, and exposed secrets.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review code for OWASP-style vulnerabilities, dependency risks, secrets, and unsafe handling of queries, HTML, or object identifiers.
Why use it?
It helps find security weaknesses before attackers exploit untrusted input, access controls, or outdated packages. It does not create exploit examples.

    Model output is used without validation or sanitization. Unvalidated output injected into downstream contexts (SQL, shell, HTML) enables injection attacks and arbitrary code execution.
    Fix: Validate and sanitize all model output before using it in downstream contexts. Use parameterized queries for SQL, shell quoting for commands, and HTML encoding for web output.

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 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 290 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Security Audit Skill

Degree of freedom: MIXED — Steps 0–4 judgment [HIGH freedom]; dependency and secret scans [LOW freedom — run exactly]. Never write exploit PoCs.

Audit-and-fix exception. May fix inline. Plan-only burndown → plan-security-audit. When fixing inline: patch the evidenced sink only, in place; unrelated weaknesses you notice go in the report as findings, not fixes. Add a test only where the repo already keeps security tests or the task asks. Auth behavior, RLS, secrets rotation, payments, and migrations stay STOP-and-confirm.

OWASP static review (injection, headers, deps). Session / route×gate / getSession() → audit-auth-flows. Next.js 16: grep middleware.ts and proxy.ts — a route gate can live in either file, and the proxy layer has its own bypass class.

How to reason

  1. Observe — quote the sink or missing check (file:line)
  2. Interpret — can untrusted input reach a query, HTML, or object-id?
  3. Classify — injection / IDOR / secret / header / dep-CVE / hand-off
  4. Severity — exploitable data access or hardcoded secret = Critical

Worked example

Observe: GET /documents/:id loads by id only (api/docs/route.ts:18). Interpret: any caller who can hit the route reads another user's doc. Classify: IDOR. Severity: Critical. Finding: IDOR | /documents/:id | add userId predicate. Matcher / getSession() on that route → audit-auth-flows, not this checklist.

Step 0: Understand the Project [HIGH freedom]

Before auditing, discover the tech stack and attack surface:

  1. Read package.json / requirements.txt / go.mod to identify:
  • Auth library (next-auth, passport, supabase-auth, django-auth, etc.)
  • Database ORM (Prisma, Sequelize, SQLAlchemy, etc.)
  • HTTP framework (Express, Fastify, Django, Flask, etc.)
  • Any security-specific packages (helmet, cors, csurf, rate-limit, etc.)
  1. Identify the auth pattern:
  • Session-based vs JWT vs OAuth
  • Where tokens are stored (cookies, localStorage, headers)
  • How permissions/roles are enforced

audit-security is a skill published in the GitHub repository kensaurus/cursor-kenji (9 stars, last pushed 27d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 65 tokens to every session and 2,509 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-09-03.
