analyze-cve

analyze-cve is a skill for Claude Code from openshift-eng/ai-helpers. It costs 213 tokens per session (2,050 once invoked), scanned B, original, Apache-2.0.

A Go security workflow for investigating a CVE, a public identifier for a known software vulnerability, and determining which parts of a Go codebase it affects.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to analyze CVEs supplied directly or through Jira tickets and JQL queries, assess reachability with Go tools, create risk reports, and optionally prepare verified fixes.
Why use it?
It replaces a manual process of finding the affected repository, collecting vulnerability details, tracing reachable code, and writing a risk report. It can also apply a fix and open a GitHub pull request when requested.

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 B, and why

analyze-cve scanned grade B 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 23d 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.

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 115 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

analyze-cve

Performs comprehensive security vulnerability analysis for Go projects. Given a CVE identifier — supplied directly, or resolved from a Jira ticket — it resolves and clones the affected repository, gathers vulnerability intelligence, analyzes the codebase for impact, generates a risk report, optionally applies fixes, and optionally opens a GitHub pull request after a verified fix.

Explicit invocation uses the following argument syntax:

/compliance:analyze-cve <CVE-ID> [--repo=<url-or-component>] [--algo=vta|rta|cha|static] [--auto-approve=yes|no]
/compliance:analyze-cve --jira=<PROJ-NNN> [--repo=...] [--algo=...] [--auto-approve=yes|no]
/compliance:analyze-cve --jql="<JQL query>" [--repo=...] [--algo=...] [--auto-approve=yes|no]

Repository resolution works in four ways, in priority order: (1) an explicit --repo= (full URL or short image/component name), (2) in direct-CVE mode only, exactly one pre-cloned repository already present in this workspace's repos/ directory when --repo= was not passed — in Jira/JQL mode that sole candidate is instead validated against the ticket's resolved image/branch before reuse, never assumed, (3) an image name extracted from a Jira ticket's summary/labels/custom fields when --jira=/--jql= was used, or (4) an interactive prompt for the repository URL or image name. See Phase 0.7 in the implementation reference for the full resolution and cloning logic.

Designed for both interactive use and headless execution (e.g. claude --print "/compliance:analyze-cve --jira=OCPBUGS-12345 --auto-approve=yes") for scheduled/periodic runs.

Arguments

Exactly one of the following input modes is required:

  • <CVE-ID> — Direct CVE identifier (format: CVE-YYYY-NNNNN, case-insensitive). Use when you already know the CVE.
  • --jira=PROJ-NNN — Jira ticket key (e.g. --jira=OCPBUGS-12345). This skill fetches the ticket and extracts the CVE ID, affected image name, and enrichment context (CVSS, CWE, priority, workarounds) from it.
  • --jql="..." — JQL query (e.g. --jql="project = OCPBUGS AND labels = needs-cve-analysis"). Fetches a batch of matching issues, filters out any already labeled ai-cve-analyzed, and processes exactly one of the remainder per run (see Phase 0.3). Re-running the same JQL periodically works through the queue over multiple invocations.

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.

analyze-cve is a skill published in the GitHub repository openshift-eng/ai-helpers (121 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 213 tokens to every session and 2,050 once invoked, about $0.0009 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (asks for root). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-29.
