How does this skill detect access control issues?

It uses targeted grep patterns and static analysis to identify common anti-patterns like string-based role comparisons, magic permission strings, and missing authorization attributes.

Can it fix the security issues automatically?

Claude can use the detection results to suggest and apply refactors, such as moving controller-based logic into a dedicated Voter class or implementing a Permission Enum.

Which PHP frameworks are supported?

While it uses patterns common in Symfony and Laravel (like Voters and Policies), the detection logic is framework-agnostic and works for any PHP project using standard authorization concepts.

Does it flag public endpoints as errors?

No, it includes logic to recognize false positives like health checks, public API routes, and CLI commands that are intended to be accessible without standard user authorization.

Security & Testing

Analyzes PHP applications to detect security vulnerabilities, authorization anti-patterns, and inconsistent access control logic.

This skill empowers Claude to perform deep security audits on PHP codebases, identifying risky authorization patterns like inline role checks, hardcoded permissions, and complex logic within controllers. By promoting industry-standard patterns such as Symfony Voters or Laravel Policies, it helps developers transition from fragile, scattered permission checks to a centralized, maintainable, and deny-by-default security architecture. This proactive analysis significantly reduces the risk of privilege escalation and ensures consistent authorization across complex applications.
