owasp-security

owasp-security is a skill for Claude Code from smk-labs/claude-plugins. It costs 72 tokens per session (1,725 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A security review and implementation guide based on OWASP, an organisation that publishes widely used web-application security guidance. It covers common software vulnerabilities, secure coding patterns, language-specific risks, and AI-agent security.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when reviewing or writing code, especially when working with a particular programming language, large language models, retrieval systems, or AI agents.
Why use it?
It gives developers concrete checks for problems such as injection, broken access control, unsafe configuration, and insecure agent behavior.

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

owasp-security scanned grade A with 2 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.

OWASP Security Best Practices

Apply these security standards when writing or reviewing code.

For deeper material, load on demand:

  • references/language-security-quirks.md: language-specific pitfalls and unsafe/safe patterns for 20 languages (JS/TS, Python, Java, C#, PHP, Go, Ruby, Rust, Swift, Kotlin, C/C++, Scala, R, Perl, Bash, Lua, Elixir, Dart, PowerShell, SQL). Read it when reviewing code in a specific language.
  • references/llm-agentic-security.md: OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications (2025) and Agentic AI security (2026), with checklists and code patterns. Read it when the code calls an LLM, builds a RAG pipeline, or wires up an AI agent with tools.

Quick Reference: OWASP Top 10:2025

# Vulnerability Key Prevention
A01 Broken Access Control Deny by default, enforce server-side, verify ownership
A02 Security Misconfiguration Harden configs, disable defaults, minimize features
A03 Supply Chain Failures Lock versions, verify integrity, audit dependencies
A04 Cryptographic Failures TLS 1.2+, AES-256-GCM, Argon2/bcrypt for passwords
A05 Injection Parameterized queries, input validation, safe APIs
A06 Insecure Design Threat model, rate limit, design security controls
A07 Auth Failures MFA, check breached passwords, secure sessions
A08 Integrity Failures Sign packages, SRI for CDN, safe serialization
A09 Logging Failures Log security events, structured format, alerting
A10 Exception Handling Fail-closed, hide internals, log with context

Security Code Review Checklist

When reviewing code, check for these issues:

Input Handling

  • All user input validated server-side
  • Using parameterized queries (not string concatenation)
  • Input length limits enforced
  • Allowlist validation preferred over denylist

Authentication & Sessions

  • Passwords hashed with Argon2/bcrypt (not MD5/SHA1)
  • Session tokens have sufficient entropy (128+ bits)
  • Sessions invalidated on logout
  • MFA available for sensitive operations

What ships with it

2 files 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.

Changes

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.

owasp-security is a skill published in the GitHub repository smk-labs/claude-plugins (11 stars, last pushed 28d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 72 tokens to every session and 1,725 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 2 findings (makes network calls, runs shell commands). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
