security-audit

security-audit is a skill for Claude Code from MichaelYcJo/SpecSeal. It costs 57 tokens per session (660 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A repeatable security checklist for web services that accept untrusted data over a network. It covers common risks such as injection, weak access controls, exposed data, unsafe settings, and vulnerable dependencies.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review a networked web service against the OWASP Top 10 and related areas. It helps check authentication, authorization, stored and transmitted data, configuration, and dependencies.
Why use it?
It reduces the chance of skipping an important security area during a review. It also makes clear when the checklist does not fit projects such as mobile apps, embedded devices, libraries, or data pipelines.

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-audit 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 7d 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 — 86 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/specseal:security-audit, a checklist walked the same way every time

A scan finds what it was built to look for. The value of a written checklist is the opposite property: it covers the same ground on a bad day as on a good one. Walk every heading and say none found explicitly, because a silently skipped section reads exactly like a clean one.

What this checklist assumes. It describes a service that takes untrusted input over a network: injection through request data, sessions and authorization, data at rest and in transit, deployment configuration. That is the shape of most OWASP material and it is the shape of this file.

Other projects have real threats this will not name. A mobile or desktop client worries about local storage, keychain use, certificate pinning, and what a rooted device can read. An embedded target worries about firmware signing and physical access. A library worries about what it does with attacker-controlled input on behalf of its callers, and about its own supply chain. A data pipeline worries about what leaks into logs and derived datasets.

Say which of those the project is before walking the list. If the answer is "none of the above", a clean report here means the checklist did not apply; say that instead of reporting a pass.

OWASP Top 10 Check

Injection

  • SQL: parameterized queries used?
  • XSS: output encoding applied?
  • Command: user input in shell commands?
  • Path traversal: file paths validated?

Authentication and Authorization

  • Passwords properly hashed (bcrypt or argon2)?
  • Session management secure?
  • Auth checks on every endpoint?
  • RBAC or ABAC properly implemented?

Data Protection

  • Sensitive data encrypted at rest?
  • TLS for data in transit?
  • PII handling compliant?
  • No secrets in code, logs or errors?

Configuration

  • Debug mode off in production?
  • CORS properly configured?
  • Security headers present?
  • Dependencies up to date?

Input Validation

  • All user input validated at boundary
  • Whitelist over blacklist
  • File upload restrictions
  • Rate limiting on sensitive endpoints

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.
