- no licenseNo license file was found in the repository. Code published without one is not open source by default, so using it at work is a question for whoever answers licensing questions where you are.
- 9 stars9 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.

General-purpose security auditing guide. Covers OWASP Top 10, dependency vulnerabilities, authentication, authorization, input validation, and secret management. Use this when performing a security review or audit.
The file declares its own license as MIT. That is the author’s claim about this one file, and it is not the same thing as the license GitHub reports for the repository, which is listed with the other numbers below.

Security Audit Skill
This skill provides a comprehensive framework for security auditing, ensuring that common vulnerabilities are identified and addressed during development and review.
Audit Checklist
1. OWASP Top 10 & Common Vulnerabilities
- Injection: Check for SQL, Command, or NoSQL injection points. Ensure parameterized queries or proper escaping is used.
- Broken Access Control: Verify that users cannot access resources outside of their intended permissions.
- Insecure Design: Evaluate the overall architecture for security flaws.
- Cryptographic Failures: Ensure sensitive data (passwords, PII) is encrypted at rest and in transit using modern algorithms (e.g., AES-256, TLS 1.3).
2. Dependency Management
- Vulnerability Scanning: Check for known vulnerabilities in third-party libraries (e.g., using
npm audit,pip-audit, orsnyk). - Outdated Packages: Identify and update significantly outdated dependencies.
3. Authentication & Authorization
- Credential Management: Ensure passwords are never stored in plain text (use Argon2, bcrypt, or scrypt).
- Session Management: Verify secure session handling (HttpOnly, Secure, SameSite flags for cookies).
- MFA/2FA: Check for the implementation or requirement of multi-factor authentication where appropriate.
4. Input Validation & Data Handling
- Sanitization: Validate and sanitize all user-supplied data at the trust boundary.
- Encoding: Ensure output encoding is used to prevent Cross-Site Scripting (XSS).
- Secret Management: Confirm that API keys, secrets, and credentials are NOT committed to the repository (use environment variables or secret managers).
Usage Guidelines
When asked to "audit" or "perform a security review":
- Systematically go through each category above.
- For each finding, categorize it by severity (Critical, High, Medium, Low).
- Provide clear remediation steps for every identified issue.
- Document any positive security practices already in place.
