## What it does

The skill inspects Python codebases and detects framework setups for Flask, Django, or FastAPI. It spots command injections, raw SQL issues, insecure deserialization with `pickle`, and dangerous calls such as `eval`. Users can trigger a quick review for immediate blockers, a comprehensive OWASP Top 10:2025 assessment, or narrow sweeps using category flags like `--injection`.

Dependency auditing relies on tools like `pip-audit` or `safety check`, while credential scanning runs via `scripts/secret-scanner.py`. The scanner deliberately skips active `.env` files and inspects only `.env.example`: auditing live environment files requires the explicit `--include-env-files` flag. Findings come formatted with severity rankings, code snippets, and remediation instructions.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add sugarforever/01coder-agent-skills --skill python-security-scan -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add sugarforever/01coder-agent-skills --skill python-security-scan -a codex
```

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

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add sugarforever/01coder-agent-skills --skill python-security-scan -a cursor
```

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install sugarforever/01coder-agent-skills python-security-scan
```

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

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add sugarforever/01coder-agent-skills --skill python-security-scan -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/sugarforever/01coder-agent-skills --path skills/python-security-scan
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add sugarforever/01coder-agent-skills --skill python-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/sugarforever/01coder-agent-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/python-security-scan/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- find SQL, NoSQL, and command injection flaws in request handlers
- audit package dependencies for known CVEs with `pip-audit`
- catch hardcoded secrets and tokens in source code
- inspect Django, Flask, or FastAPI configurations against OWASP standards

## Example prompts
- Run a quick security scan on this FastAPI project
- Scan this repository for injection flaws using --injection
- Audit dependencies in requirements.txt for known vulnerabilities

# Python Security Scan Skill

This skill enables comprehensive security scanning of Python projects based on OWASP guidelines, Python security best practices, and framework-specific vulnerabilities.

## When to Use This Skill

- Security audits of Python applications
- Code review for security vulnerabilities
- Pre-deployment security checks
- Dependency vulnerability assessment
- Detecting hardcoded secrets and credentials
- Framework-specific security reviews (Flask, Django, FastAPI)

## Supported Frameworks

This skill automatically detects and applies framework-specific checks for:

- **Flask** - Template injection, session security, CORS, extensions
- **Django** - ORM injection, CSRF, template security, settings
- **FastAPI** - Dependency injection, Pydantic validation, OAuth2
- **General Python** - Core language vulnerabilities applicable to all projects

## Scan Types

### 1. Quick Scan
Fast scan focusing on critical vulnerabilities:
- Hardcoded secrets, API keys, and credentials
- Dangerous function usage (`eval`, `exec`, `pickle.loads`)
- Command injection via `subprocess`, `os.system`
- SQL injection patterns
- Known vulnerable dependencies

### 2. Full Scan
Comprehensive security assessment covering:
- All OWASP Top 10:2025 categories
- Python-specific vulnerabilities
- Framework-specific security issues
- Injection vulnerabilities (SQL, NoSQL, Command, LDAP)
- Insecure deserialization
- Authentication and authorization flaws
- Cryptographic failures
- Security misconfigurations
- Dependency audit (CVE check)
- Environment variable and secrets exposure

### 3. Targeted Scan
Focus on specific vulnerability categories:
- `--injection` - SQL/NoSQL/Command/LDAP injection
- `--deserialization` - Pickle, YAML, JSON deserialization
- `--auth` - Authentication/authorization issues
- `--secrets` - Hardcoded credentials
- `--deps` - Dependency vulnerabilities
- `--crypto` - Cryptographic issues
- `--flask` - Flask-specific vulnerabilities
- `--django` - Django-specific vulnerabilities
- `--fastapi` - FastAPI-specific vulnerabilities

## Scan Procedure

### Step 1: Project Discovery
1. Identify project type and framework:
   - Check for `requirements.txt`, `Pipfile`, `pyproject.toml`, `setup.py`
   - Detect Flask (`from flask import`), Django (`django.conf`), FastAPI (`from fastapi import`)
2. Locate configuration files
