Security Audit
Perform comprehensive security audits on codebases by scanning for OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, checking dependencies for known CVEs, detecting leaked secrets and API keys, and generating prioritized fix recommendations. This skill combines static analysis patterns with dependency auditing tools.
Overview
The Security Audit skill, hosted in the TerminalSkills/skills repository, provides automated security assessment capabilities for AI agents like Codex and Claude. It facilitates codebase reviews by identifying common security risks aligned with the OWASP Top 10 framework. The tool integrates static analysis patterns to detect vulnerabilities and scans project dependencies against databases of known CVEs. Additionally, it identifies exposed sensitive information such as API keys and secrets within the source code. Upon completion of an audit, the skill generates a list of prioritized recommendations to assist developers in remediating discovered issues. This utility is maintained within a repository that has garnered 72 stars, reflecting its utility for developers seeking to integrate security validation into their automated workflows.

Security Notes
This skill performs analysis of codebases and dependencies to identify potential vulnerabilities. Users should ensure the AI agent has appropriate read permissions for the target directory and be aware that automated scans may require manual verification to confirm findings and mitigate false positives.
