What tools does this Python security skill use?

This skill utilizes industry-standard tools including Bandit for static analysis, pip-audit for dependency checking, and detect-secrets for finding hardcoded credentials.

How does it assist with CI/CD integration?

It provides pre-configured YAML snippets and command-line instructions to integrate security scanning directly into GitHub Actions or other automated pipelines.

Can this skill help prevent SQL injection?

Yes, it specifically identifies patterns prone to SQL injection and provides secure, parameterized query alternatives to mitigate the risk.

Is this skill useful for remediation?

Beyond detection, the skill provides specific 'Secure Patterns' and code examples to help developers replace insecure code with robust, safe implementations.

Does it support scanning for vulnerable dependencies?

Yes, it uses pip-audit to check your project's requirements against known vulnerability databases and offers guidance on how to fix them.

Security & Testing

Audits Python codebases for security vulnerabilities, hardcoded secrets, and dependency risks using industry-standard tools and secure coding patterns.

About

The Python Security Auditor skill provides a comprehensive framework for identifying and mitigating security risks in Python applications. By leveraging powerful tools like Bandit, pip-audit, Semgrep, and detect-secrets, it helps developers perform deep static analysis, scan for vulnerable dependencies, and uncover hardcoded credentials. It is an essential companion for developers looking to harden their applications, prepare for security reviews, or implement automated security gates within CI/CD pipelines to prevent common exploits like SQL injection and path traversal.
