How does this skill find vulnerabilities?

It uses a specialized scanner to trace how user input flows through your code and identifies locations where sanitization or validation is missing or insufficient.

Does it provide a report of the findings?

Yes, the skill generates a detailed report highlighting the specific files and line numbers where potential vulnerabilities were detected.

Can it help with XSS vulnerabilities?

Absolutely. It scans for areas where user-provided data is rendered in the UI without proper sanitization, which is a primary cause of XSS.

When should I use the Input Validation Scanner?

It is best used during code reviews, security audits, or when hardening an application against common web exploits like XSS and command injection.

Can it detect SQL injection risks?

Yes, it specifically identifies instances where user input is used in database queries without proper parameterization or escaping.

Security & Testing

Scans source code to identify and mitigate input validation vulnerabilities like SQL injection and cross-site scripting.

About

This skill automates the identification of potential security flaws by analyzing how user-provided data is handled within a codebase. By leveraging a specialized input-validation-scanner, it detects missing sanitization or validation routines that could lead to exploits such as XSS, SQL injection, or command injection. It is an essential tool for developers during code reviews and security audits, providing a proactive way to harden applications and ensure compliance with security best practices before code reaches production.
