## What it does

One layer never catches everything, so this skill runs six. A project with no CVEs can still ship hardcoded credentials, a SQL injection and a route with no authorization attribute. Layer 1 checks packages with `dotnet list package --vulnerable --include-transitive`. Layer 2 scans `.cs`, `.json`, `.yml`, `.xml` and `.config` for secrets. Layer 3 reads source for risky patterns: raw SQL, `Html.Raw`, `BinaryFormatter`, MD5/SHA1, IDOR. Layer 4 pulls every route's auth posture in one `get_endpoint_map` call, flags endpoints without explicit attributes, then reviews JWT validation settings. Layer 5 inspects CORS: wildcard origins, credential combinations, method and header breadth. Layer 6 looks at PII in logs, over-broad responses and sensitive values stored in plaintext.

Before executing, the skill reads `references/scan-layers.md` for detection patterns, OWASP Top 10:2025 mappings and the report template. Deeper auth and secrets review goes to the `security-auditor` agent, paired with the `authentication` and `configuration` skills. Which layers run depends on the task: all six before a release or a pentest, layer 1 alone after a dependency bump, layers 3, 4 and 5 when a new endpoint lands.

This is static analysis, not a penetration test. Business-logic flaws, complex authorization bypasses and runtime-only bugs stay out of reach, and every report says so.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add codewithmukesh/dotnet-claude-kit --skill security-scan -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/security-scan/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/security-scan/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add codewithmukesh/dotnet-claude-kit --skill security-scan -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/security-scan/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add codewithmukesh/dotnet-claude-kit --skill security-scan -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/security-scan/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install codewithmukesh/dotnet-claude-kit security-scan
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/security-scan/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add codewithmukesh/dotnet-claude-kit --skill security-scan -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/codewithmukesh/dotnet-claude-kit --path skills/security-scan
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/security-scan/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add codewithmukesh/dotnet-claude-kit --skill security-scan -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/codewithmukesh/dotnet-claude-kit/tree/HEAD/skills/security-scan/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- find vulnerable NuGet packages including transitive ones
- strip hardcoded passwords and keys out of config files
- catch raw SQL and other risky patterns before release
- check whether every endpoint declares its authorization
- produce a severity-rated report ahead of a pentest

## Example prompts
- Run `/security-scan` before we ship, all six layers
- Do a security audit of secrets and CORS
- After the package update, run only the vulnerable-dependency layer

# /security-scan — 6-Layer Security Pipeline

## What

Runs a defense-in-depth static scan across 6 layers. A project with zero CVEs
can still have hardcoded secrets, SQL injection, and missing auth — each layer
catches a different vulnerability class. Findings map to the **OWASP Top
10:2025** taxonomy and are rated Critical/High/Medium/Low by exploitability,
impact, and exposure — a Critical SQL injection on a public endpoint outranks a
Low info-disclosure on an admin page.

Detection patterns, OWASP mappings, remediation code, and the report template
live in `references/scan-layers.md` — read it before executing.

**Honesty rule:** this is static analysis, not a penetration test. It catches
known patterns but misses business-logic flaws, complex authorization bypasses,
and runtime-only vulnerabilities. Every report states this.

## When

- Pre-release security gate — full scan, non-negotiable before production
- "Security scan", "security audit", "find secrets", "CVE check", "OWASP"
- After a dependency update (Layer 1), auth changes (Layer 4), config changes
  (Layer 2), or logging changes (Layer 6)
- Pre-pentest preparation — fix static issues before paying for a pentest
- Incident response and quarterly reviews

## How

### Step 1: Choose Layers

| Scenario | Layers |
|----------|--------|
| Pre-release gate / pentest prep / incident / quarterly | All 6 |
| After dependency update | 1 |
| New endpoint added | 3, 4, 5 |
| Auth system changes | 4 |
| Config file changes | 2 |
| Logging changes | 6 |
| Public API exposure | 3, 4, 5 |
| Internal-only service | 1, 2, 3 |

### Step 2: Execute the Layers
```
