What fix-finding does

This skill turns a specific vulnerability report into a minimal code fix. It begins by tracing the data path from input to sink. When delegation is available, an isolated read-only subagent inspects the security boundary. If the repository already protects the path, the skill reports no_change and avoids speculative edits.

After the patch is written, a second review subagent challenges the implementation. It looks for alternative bypasses and checks whether standard inputs now fail. The skill also handles Generate and Apply remediation stages within the Codex Security workbench.

Skip this skill for standard bug fixes or general code cleanup. Install it only when you handle explicit vulnerability remediation.

What it helps with

  • Trace tainted inputs from source to sink across repository boundaries
  • Generate minimal security fixes without altering unrelated functions
  • Verify patches against alternative bypass routes and edge cases
  • Prepare isolated unified diffs for Codex Security remediation flows

Example prompts for the agent

  • Fix this path traversal vulnerability and verify that existing file tests still pass.
  • Remediate the SSRF finding in our webhook handler with a minimal patch.
  • Generate a validated diff for the authorization bypass occurrence in the auth controller.
