scanning-input-validation-practices

Solid

This skill enables Claude to automatically scan source code for potential input validation vulnerabilities. It identifies areas where user-supplied data is not properly sanitized or validated before being used in operations, which could lead to security exploits like SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), or command injection. Use this skill when the user asks to "scan for input validation issues", "check input sanitization", "find potential XSS vulnerabilities", or similar requests related to securing user input. It is particularly useful during code reviews, security audits, and when hardening applications against common web vulnerabilities. The skill leverages the input-validation-scanner plugin to perform the analysis.

Skill Content

## Overview This skill automates the process of identifying potential input validation flaws within a codebase. By analyzing how user-provided data is handled, it helps developers proactively address security vulnerabilities before they can be exploited. This skill streamlines security audits and improves the overall security posture of applications. ## How It Works 1. **Initiate Scan**: The user requests an input validation scan, triggering the skill. 2. **Code Analysis**: The skill uses the input-validation-scanner plugin to analyze the specified codebase or file. 3. **Vulnerability Identification**: The plugin identifies instances where input validation may be missing or insufficient. 4. **Report Generation**: The skill presents a report highlighting potential vulnerabilities and their locations in the code. ## When to Use This Skill This skill activates when you need to: - Audit a codebase for input validation vulnerabilities. - Review newly written code for potential XSS or SQL injection flaws. - Harden an application against common web security exploits. - Ensure compliance with security best practices related to input handling. ## Examples ### Example 1: Identifying XSS Vulnerabilities User request: "Scan the user profile module for potential XSS vulnerabilities." The skill will: 1. Activate the input-validation-scanner plugin on the specified module. 2. Generate a report highlighting areas where user input is directly rendered without proper sanitization, ind...

scanning-for-xss-vulnerabilities

This skill enables Claude to automatically scan for XSS (Cross-Site Scripting) vulnerabilities in code. It is triggered when the user requests to "scan for XSS vulnerabilities", "check for XSS", or uses the command "/xss". The skill identifies reflected, stored, and DOM-based XSS vulnerabilities. It analyzes HTML, JavaScript, CSS, and URL contexts to detect potential exploits and suggests safe proof-of-concept payloads. This skill is best used during code review, security audits, and before deploying web applications to production.

performing-security-code-review

This skill enables Claude to conduct a security-focused code review using the security-agent plugin. It analyzes code for potential vulnerabilities like SQL injection, XSS, authentication flaws, and insecure dependencies. Claude uses this skill when the user explicitly requests a security audit, asks for a code review with a focus on security, or mentions security concerns related to code. The security-agent plugin then provides structured security findings with severity ratings, code locations, impact assessments, and remediation guidance.
