owasp-top-10-web is a skill for Claude Code from UnitOneAI/SecuritySkills. It costs 73 tokens per session (9,128 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A web application security review guide based on the OWASP Top 10, a commonly used list of major web security risk categories.

In plain words
What is it for?
It reviews web application code, server and framework settings, security-related pull requests, and project designs, with findings grouped by OWASP category.
Why use it?
It gives security reviews a repeatable structure instead of relying on an incomplete or inconsistent checklist.

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

owasp-top-10-web scanned grade B with 3 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 10d 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.

Cloud metadata endpointmediumServer-side request forgery

One request to 169.254.169.254 can return temporary IAM credentials.

- No blocking of requests to private/reserved IP ranges (127.0.0.0/8, 10.0.0.0/8, 169.254.169.254, 172.16.0.0/12, 192.168.0.0/16, fd00::/8).

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

OWASP Top 10:2021 — Web Application Security Review

When to Use

If a target is provided via arguments, focus the review on: $ARGUMENTS

Invoke this skill when:

  • Reviewing web application source code for security vulnerabilities.
  • Auditing server or framework configurations (e.g., Express, Django, Rails, Spring Boot, ASP.NET).
  • A user requests a "security review," "pentest prep," or "OWASP check" against a web application.
  • Evaluating pull requests that touch authentication, authorization, input handling, cryptography, or external integrations.
  • Assessing a new web project's architecture for secure design principles before implementation begins.

Do not use this skill for mobile-only, IoT firmware, or non-web API reviews — use a domain-specific skill instead.

Context

The OWASP Top 10:2021 is the authoritative awareness document for web application security. It represents broad consensus on the most critical security risks to web applications, derived from CWE data mapped across hundreds of organizations. Each category aggregates multiple CWEs under a unifying risk theme.

This skill operationalizes all ten categories into a repeatable, structured review process suitable for AI-assisted code analysis. Findings are mapped to specific CWEs, rated by severity, and paired with actionable remediation steps.

Process

Step 1 — Scope and Inventory

  1. Use Glob to enumerate the project structure: source files, configuration files, dependency manifests, and infrastructure-as-code templates.
  2. Identify the technology stack: language, framework, template engine, ORM, authentication library, and deployment target.
  3. Catalog entry points: routes, controllers, API endpoints, middleware chains, and static asset serving.
  4. Note dependency manifests (package.json, requirements.txt, pom.xml, Gemfile.lock, go.sum, etc.) for component analysis.

Step 2 — Category-by-Category Analysis

Evaluate the codebase against each of the ten categories below. For every category, search for the listed detection patterns using Grep and Read, then record findings.

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-top-10-web is a skill published in the GitHub repository UnitOneAI/SecuritySkills (61 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 73 tokens to every session and 9,128 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 3 findings (cloud metadata endpoint, 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.
