code-vuln-audit - Claude MCP Skill
Scan code for security issues: dependency vulnerabilities (npm/pip audit), secret leaks (regex and entropy analysis), and OWASP anti-patterns like SQL injection, XSS, or command injection. Use when the user mentions security scans, vulnerability detection, secret leaks, API keys, OWASP, npm audit, pip-audit, hardcoded passwords, or code security checks.

Documentation
SKILL.md# 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
```bash
# 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 |
**Shannon Entropy Analysis**: Computes information entropy for string constants in code (threshold > 4.5 and length >= 20) to discover secrets in non-standard formats.
### 3. OWASP Pattern Detection (owasp)
Covers statically detectable security patterns from the OWASP Top 10:
| OWASP Category | Detection Patterns |
|---|---|
| A02: Cryptographic Failures | Weak hashes (MD5/SHA1), weak ciphers (DES/RC4) |
| A03: Injection | SQL injection, command injection (os.system / subprocess shell / eval / exec), XSS (innerHTML / document.write / dangerouslySetInnerHTML / v-html) |
| A04: Insecure Design | Path traversal |
| A05: Security Misconfiguration | Debug mode enabled, CORS wildcard, binding to 0.0.0.0 |
| A08: Integrity Failures | Insecure deserialization (pickle / yaml.load / marshal / unserialize) |
| A10: SSRF | User input passed directly to HTTP requests |
Supported languages: Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Java, PHP, Ruby, Go, and more.
## Parameters
| Parameter | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| `TARGET` | Directory to scan | Current directory |
| `--mode MODE` | Scan mode: `all`, `deps`, `secrets`, `owasp` | `all` |
| `--format FORMAT` | Output format: `text`, `json` | `text` |
| `--output FILE` | Output file path | stdout |
| `--severity LEVEL` | Minimum reporting level: `low`, `medium`, `high`, `critical` | `low` |
| `--exclude-dir DIR` | Additional directories to exclude (repeatable) | - |
| `--max-file-kb SIZE` | Maximum file size to scan in KB | `512` |
| `-h, --help` | Show help | - |
## Output Format
### Text Output (default)
```
=== Security Scan Report ===
Target: /path/to/project
Modules: deps, secrets, owasp
[CRITICAL] AWS Access Key ID
File: src/config.py:15
Code: AWS_KEY = "AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE"
[HIGH] SQL Injection (f-string)
File: src/db.py:42
Code: cursor.execute(f"SELECT * FROM users WHERE id={user_id}")
--- Summary ---
Critical: 1 | High: 1 | Medium: 0 | Low: 0
Total findings: 2
```
### JSON Output
```json
{
"target": "/path/to/project",
"scan_time": "2026-04-14T10:30:00",
"findings": [
{
"scanner": "secrets",
"name": "AWS Access Key ID",
"severity": "critical",
"file": "src/config.py",
"line": 15,
"snippet": "AWS_KEY = \"AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE\"",
"category": "secret-pattern"
}
],
"summary": {"critical": 1, "high": 0, "medium": 0, "low": 0, "total": 1}
}
```
## Exit Codes
| Exit Code | Meaning |
|---|---|
| `0` | No findings |
| `1` | Findings present (at least one security issue) |
| `2` | Scanner internal error |
## Prerequisites
- Python 3.7+ (uses standard library only)
- Dependency scanning requires the corresponding tools: `npm` (for Node.js projects), `pip-audit` (for Python projects)
- If an audit tool is missing, that module will be skipped with a notice — other modules continue to run normallySignals

CrewAI Development Rules
firecrawl-build-onboarding
Get Firecrawl credentials and SDK setup into a project. Use when an application needs `FIRECRAWL_API_KEY`, when an agent should add Firecrawl to `.env`, when the user wants to authenticate Firecrawl for app code, or when choosing the first SDK and docs for a new Firecrawl integration. This skill includes its own browser auth flow, so it does not depend on the website onboarding skill.
firecrawl-build
Integrate Firecrawl into application code whenever a product, agent, or workflow needs web data inside the app — web search, live search results, page scraping, structured extraction, or browser interaction. Use when building any feature that needs data from the web in code, even if the user does not mention Firecrawl explicitly and only describes wanting web data, website content, search, scraping, or interaction in an application. Trigger for Firecrawl requests, "fire girl" shorthand, and generic app-level web-data needs that should map to `/scrape`, `/search`, or `/interact`. Do not use this skill for one-off terminal-only web tasks during the current session; use `firecrawl/cli` for those.
