moai-ref-owasp-checklist

moai-ref-owasp-checklist is a skill for Claude Code from modu-ai/moai-adk. It costs 66 tokens per session (2,031 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A reference checklist for securing backend web APIs, including login, permissions, input handling, and HTTP response settings.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it while building backend APIs or carrying out a security review. It is not intended for frontend design, deployment, performance work, or testing.
Why use it?
It helps developers check common API security weaknesses systematically instead of relying on memory. It also gives defensive patterns for problems such as unauthorized access to another user's data or unlimited requests.

About the project

MoAI-ADK is a Go-based harness that organizes and verifies Claude Code work across planning, implementation, synchronization, and review stages. Developers use it to structure agentic coding tasks, apply quality gates, and route work across language models, while the catalogue entries extend its workflow with skills, hooks, commands, MCP servers, instructions, and settings.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.
    Fix: Remove references to credential paths. Use environment variables or secrets managers. For docs, use placeholder paths (e.g., /path/to/config). Never load .env or token files in production code paths.

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

moai-ref-owasp-checklist 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 22d 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.

OWASP API Security Top 10

Rank Vulnerability Check Defense
A1 BOLA (Broken Object Level Authorization) Can user A access user B's resources? Verify object ownership at every endpoint
A2 Broken Authentication Weak passwords, unlimited login attempts? bcrypt (cost 12+), rate limit, MFA
A3 Broken Object Property Level Authorization Are hidden fields exposed in responses? Response DTOs, field-level filtering
A4 Unrestricted Resource Consumption Can mass requests crash the server? Rate limiting, enforce pagination limits
A5 Broken Function Level Authorization Can regular users call admin APIs? RBAC middleware, permission checks
A6 Unrestricted Access to Sensitive Business Flows Can a sensitive flow be automated or abused in bulk? Flow-level rate limits, anomaly detection, challenge on abuse signals
A7 SSRF (Server-Side Request Forgery) Can URL input reach internal or metadata endpoints? Egress allowlist, block internal/metadata ranges, validate fetch targets
A8 Security Misconfiguration Debug mode, verbose errors, or default accounts exposed? Production-hardened config, security headers, inspect deployed config
A9 Improper Inventory Management Undocumented, shadow, or old-version endpoints reachable? Maintain an API inventory; deprecate and decommission old versions
A10 Unsafe Consumption of APIs Are external/third-party API responses trusted blindly? Validate external responses against a schema, set timeouts, treat upstream data as untrusted

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.
