code-vuln-audit

A code security scanner that checks project dependencies, searches for exposed passwords or tokens, and looks for common unsafe coding patterns such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and command injection.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to scan npm or pip dependencies, detect hardcoded credentials, and check for OWASP-style security problems. It can scan all checks or one category and produce a JSON report or severity-filtered results.
Why use it?
It brings several common security checks into one scan. This can reveal known vulnerable packages, accidentally committed secrets, and code patterns that may let attackers manipulate an application.

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

code-vuln-audit scanned grade A 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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/security_scan.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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 153 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

code-vuln-audit

A code security scanning tool with three core scanning capabilities:

  1. Dependency Vulnerability Scanning — Automatically detects known vulnerabilities in npm / pip dependencies
  2. Secret Leak Detection — Discovers hardcoded secrets, tokens, and passwords via regex matching + Shannon entropy analysis
  3. OWASP Pattern Detection — Identifies common security anti-patterns such as SQL injection, XSS, command injection, and insecure deserialization

Quick Start

# Scan the current directory (all checks)
python3 scripts/security_scan.py .

# Scan dependencies only
python3 scripts/security_scan.py --mode deps .

# Detect secret leaks only
python3 scripts/security_scan.py --mode secrets /path/to/project

# Detect OWASP security patterns only
python3 scripts/security_scan.py --mode owasp .

# Output report in JSON format
python3 scripts/security_scan.py --format json --output report.json .

# Only show findings at high severity and above
python3 scripts/security_scan.py --severity high .

Scan Module Details

1. Dependency Vulnerability Scanning (deps)

Automatically detects the project type and invokes the appropriate tool:

Project Type Detection File Tool Used
Node.js package.json + package-lock.json npm audit
Python requirements.txt / pyproject.toml / Pipfile pip-audit

If the corresponding audit tool is not installed, a helpful message is displayed instead of an error.

2. Secret Leak Detection (secrets)

Detection is performed in two ways:

Regex Matching: Covers common secret formats

Secret Type Example Pattern
AWS Access Key 20-character string starting with AKIA
GitHub Token Starts with ghp_ or github_pat_
Slack Token Starts with xoxb- or xoxp-
Stripe Key Starts with sk_live_ or pk_live_
Private Key File -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----
Generic API Key Format like api_key = "..."
Credentials in URL https://user:pass@host
JWT Token eyJ... format

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.

code-vuln-audit is a skill published in the GitHub repository zebbern/claude-code-guide (4,597 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 82 tokens to every session and 1,414 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (runs shell commands). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
