Security
Comprehensive security audits detecting vulnerabilities and verifying fixes
What You Can Do
Run comprehensive security audits on sensitive code before deployment. Claude scans for OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities including injection attacks, broken authentication, data exposure, and misconfigurations, then verifies that fixes are properly implemented. You get detailed reports with severity levels, exact locations, and remediation guidance.
Features
identifies SQL injection, command injection, XSS, and LDAP injection vulnerabilities
catches broken authentication, session issues, privilege escalation, and insecure access patterns
detects hardcoded secrets, missing encryption, insecure cryptography, and sensitive data exposure
flags default credentials, verbose error messages, missing security headers, and configuration weaknesses
identifies known vulnerable packages, outdated libraries, and supply chain risks
categorizes findings as CRITICAL, HIGH, MEDIUM, or LOW with exact file and line references
confirms that identified vulnerabilities are properly remediated before deployment
provides actionable steps to fix each vulnerability, not just identification
Example Output
Input: Review authentication code for security vulnerabilities
Output:
SECURITY AUDIT REPORT
[CRITICAL] Hardcoded Database Credentials (auth.js:15)
- Issue: Database password stored in plaintext
- Remediation: Move to environment variables
[HIGH] Missing CSRF Protection (login.js:42)
- Issue: Form submission not validated with CSRF tokens
- Remediation: Implement token validation middleware
[MEDIUM] Weak Password Hashing (user.js:8)
- Issue: Using md5 instead of bcrypt
- Remediation: Replace with bcrypt with 12+ salt rounds
VERIFICATION REPORT
✓ Credentials moved to .env
✓ CSRF middleware implemented
✓ Password hashing upgraded to bcrypt

You get Claude to analyze your API specifications and automatically generate bulletproof parameter validation logic. Claude creates security-hardened middleware, enforces type constraints, detects malicious input patterns, and generates comprehensive error handling — all tailored to your framework and existing codebase. The result is production-ready validation code with zero unvalidated inputs reaching your business logic.
This skill enables you to automatically audit your websites against compliance standards and detect deviations from expected baselines. You can track regulatory requirements, identify policy violations, and generate compliance reports with actionable remediation steps. Monitor multiple sites simultaneously and maintain detailed audit trails for compliance documentation.
Transform schema and data changes into production-ready migration packages that protect data integrity and minimize downtime. You can handle column additions, renames, type conversions, and backfills using proven patterns like expand-contract and shadow tables. The skill generates explicit rollback scripts, validation checklists, and phased execution plans that keep applications stable throughout the migration.
You'll transform high-level feature requirements into a complete development plan covering API design, frontend implementation, testing strategy, and documentation. The skill helps you identify dependencies, parallelize work across frontend and backend teams, and establish quality gates that ensure features ship bug-free with proper error handling and logging.
You can conduct comprehensive toxicology safety assessments, generate regulatory-compliant safety documentation, and produce detailed hazard analyses for pharmaceutical and chemical submissions. This skill structures toxicological data into standardized safety reports, maps findings to regulatory guidelines (FDA, EMA, ICH), and identifies risk characterization strategies to support regulatory submissions and approval timelines.
You can submit your Solidity smart contracts for comprehensive security analysis, vulnerability detection, and gas optimization recommendations. Claude reviews your code against known attack vectors, design patterns, and best practices—identifying reentrancy risks, overflow/underflow issues, access control flaws, and inefficient operations. You receive actionable fix recommendations with explanations of the security implications and gas savings potential.
You can design end-to-end NGS pipelines tailored to your experiment type (WGS, WES, RNA-seq, targeted), troubleshoot pipeline failures by analyzing QC metrics and logs, and optimize performance by fine-tuning parameters and identifying bottlenecks. This skill handles the full workflow from raw sequencing data quality assessment through variant interpretation and annotation.
You can accelerate your entire antenna design workflow—from initial concept to optimized specifications—by leveraging Claude's knowledge of electromagnetic theory, antenna types, and design trade-offs. Claude helps you parameterize designs, identify optimal configurations for your frequency band and application, and prepare detailed briefs for simulation and manufacturing. You'll generate design reviews, impedance-matching solutions, and validation checklists without context-switching to multiple tools.
