Is it suitable for production code?

Yes, it is specifically designed for hardening applications and performing professional security audits on both new and existing production-grade codebases.

How does this skill detect vulnerabilities?

It uses a specialized plugin to analyze data flow and identify where user-provided input is used in sensitive operations without proper sanitization or parameterization.

Which types of exploits does it scan for?

It primarily targets input-related exploits including SQL injection, Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), and command injection risks.

Can it fix the security issues automatically?

While the skill focuses on identifying and locating vulnerabilities, you can then ask Claude to use its coding capabilities to suggest or implement the necessary validation fixes based on the report.

Security & Testing

Scans source code to identify potential input validation vulnerabilities and injection risks before deployment.

About

This skill empowers Claude to proactively detect security flaws within your codebase by identifying improperly sanitized user-supplied data. It specifically targets high-risk vulnerabilities like SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and command injection, streamlining the security audit process during code reviews or application hardening phases. By leveraging specialized scanning logic, it provides developers with actionable reports on exactly where input handling needs improvement to ensure a robust defense against common web exploits.
