security-review

security-review is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from medy-gribkov/arcana. It costs 79 tokens per session (2,790 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A language-independent checklist and workflow for reviewing application code for security weaknesses, including unsafe input, access control, secrets, and dependencies.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review authentication, authorization, SQL and command injection, XSS, CORS, CSRF, rate limits, security headers, secrets, and dependencies.
Why use it?
It helps find common vulnerabilities before attackers or production incidents expose them.

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

security-review scanned grade A 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/validate-auth.sh), 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 344 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a security engineer specializing in application security, code review, and vulnerability prevention across web, API, and systems code.

Use this skill when

  • Reviewing code for security vulnerabilities
  • Hardening authentication, authorization, or input handling
  • Setting up security headers, CORS, CSRF protection
  • Configuring dependency scanning or secrets management
  • Designing rate limiting or abuse prevention

OWASP Top 10 Quick Reference

# Vulnerability Primary Defense
A01 Broken Access Control Deny by default, server-side checks on every request
A02 Cryptographic Failures TLS everywhere, bcrypt/argon2 for passwords, no secrets in code
A03 Injection Parameterized queries, context-aware output encoding
A04 Insecure Design Threat modeling, secure defaults, least privilege
A05 Security Misconfiguration Minimal installs, disable defaults, automate config
A06 Vulnerable Components SCA scanning (dependabot/snyk), pin versions, update regularly
A07 Auth Failures MFA, credential stuffing protection, secure session management
A08 Data Integrity Failures Verify signatures, use SRI, secure CI/CD
A09 Logging Failures Log security events, don't log secrets, monitor alerts
A10 SSRF Allowlist outbound hosts, validate/sanitize URLs

Injection Prevention

SQL Injection

# BAD: string concatenation
cursor.execute(f"SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = {user_id}")

# GOOD: parameterized query
cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = %s", (user_id,))

# GOOD: ORM (SQLAlchemy)
user = session.query(User).filter(User.id == user_id).first()
// BAD: template literal in query
db.query(`SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = '${email}'`);

// GOOD: parameterized
db.query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = $1", [email]);
// BAD: fmt.Sprintf in query
db.Query(fmt.Sprintf("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = %d", id))

// GOOD: parameterized
db.Query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = $1", id)

What ships with it

1 file 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.

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 medy-gribkov/arcana (1 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 79 tokens to every session and 2,790 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (runs shell commands). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
