qa-security-testing is a skill for Codex from vasilyu1983/AI-Agents-public. It costs 38 tokens per session (3,678 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to automating security checks for source code, dependencies, running applications, secrets, containers, and infrastructure.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose scanners, add them to CI/CD, set vulnerability gates, manage findings, and add regression tests.
Why use it?
It helps find vulnerabilities early and gives teams a process for reviewing, fixing, and retesting them.

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

qa-security-testing 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 5d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/test_vuln_tracker.py, scripts/vuln_tracker.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

QA Security Testing

Automated security testing pipelines that integrate scanners into CI/CD, enforce vulnerability gates, and drive findings through remediation. This skill covers the testing automation side of security; for secure design, threat modeling, and architecture review, use software-security-appsec.

Start with the quick start workflow below, then dive into specific reference guides. Use current official sources from data/sources.json for tool documentation.

Quick Start

  1. Run a lightweight threat model to identify attack surface and risk areas.
  2. Select tools per category (SAST, SCA, DAST, secrets, container/IaC).
  3. Integrate into CI with clear gate policies per stage.
  4. Establish a triage workflow: confirm, classify, assign, track.
  5. Define vulnerability SLAs as a starting policy, then tune them to exploitability, business impact, and compliance obligations.
  6. Add security regression tests for every confirmed vulnerability.

Inputs to Gather

  • Application type: web app, API, mobile, CLI, infrastructure.
  • Languages, frameworks, and build toolchain.
  • Deployment model: containers, serverless, VMs, PaaS.
  • Current security tooling and CI platform.
  • Compliance requirements: SOC 2, PCI DSS, HIPAA, ISO 27001 if applicable.
  • Existing vulnerability management process and acceptable risk thresholds.
  • Code hosting platform: GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket (affects native tool availability).

Security Testing Categories

1. SAST (Static Application Security Testing)

Analyze source code for vulnerabilities without executing it.

  • Recommended tools: Semgrep (fast, customizable rules, free tier), CodeQL (deep dataflow analysis, GitHub-native), Snyk Code.
  • CI pattern: run on every PR; a common starter is block merge on high/critical findings, then tune to your risk policy.
  • Key practices: maintain custom rules for your codebase patterns, manage suppressions with documented reasons, use baseline files to avoid noise from pre-existing findings.
  • Reference: references/sast-integration.md

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.

qa-security-testing is a skill published in the GitHub repository vasilyu1983/AI-Agents-public (86 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 38 tokens to every session and 3,678 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
