atv-security

/atv-security — Unified Security Auditor

Scan your project for security issues across two surfaces:

1. Agentic configuration — .github/, .vscode/ configs (33 rules adapted from AgentShield).
2. Application source code — OWASP Top 10 (2021) static checks + STRIDE threat model.

Heritage: This skill absorbs the former /cso skill. Old /cso triggers still route here. The on-disk security report file keeps the legacy <!-- cso --> marker block so existing reports stay structurally compatible.

5 config categories: Secrets · Permissions · Hooks · MCP Servers · Agents & Skills

Arguments

#$ARGUMENTS

Argument grammar: Two independent axes, parsed in order.

1. Mode — if any token in $ARGUMENTS matches fix (case-insensitive), mode = fix. Otherwise mode = report (default).
2. Scope — examine the remaining tokens (after stripping fix):
   • Token config → scope = config (config audit only; skip OWASP/STRIDE)
   • Token owasp → scope = owasp (OWASP scan only; skip config + STRIDE)
   • Token stride → scope = stride (STRIDE only; skip config + OWASP)
   • Token that looks like a file/directory path (contains / or \ or matches an existing path) → scope = <path> (run OWASP/STRIDE narrowed to that path; skip config)
   • No remaining tokens, or token is full → scope = full (default; run everything available)

Examples:

• /atv-security → mode=report scope=full
• /atv-security fix → mode=fix scope=full
• /atv-security config fix or /atv-security fix config → mode=fix scope=config
• /atv-security owasp → mode=report scope=owasp
• /atv-security src/api/ → mode=report scope=src/api/

Execution Flow

Phase 1: Discovery       → Detect config surfaces + app source stack
Phase 2: Tier 1 Config   → Deterministic regex scan of .github/, .vscode/   (skip if scope ∉ {full, config})
Phase 3: Tier 2 Config   → LLM-assessed config rules                          (skip if scope ∉ {full, config})
Phase 4: OWASP Top 10    → Application source code scan                       (skip if no source OR scope ∉ {full, owasp, <path>})
Phase 5: STRIDE          → Threat model the application                       (skip if no source OR scope ∉ {full, stride, <path>})
Phase 6: Score & Grade   → Per-surface grades with N/A semantics
Phase 7: Output          → Combined report (config + OWASP + STRIDE)
Phase 8: Persist         → Upsert into docs/security/YYYY-MM-DD-security-report.md (both marker blocks)
Phase 9: Fix             → Opt-in safe fixes for auto-fixable config rules    (only when mode=fix)

---

Phase 1: Discovery

Use file_search and list_dir to detect both surfaces in parallel.

1a. ATV configuration surfaces

Surface	File Pattern	Category
Instructions	.github/copilot-instructions.md	Agents & Skills
MCP Config	.github/copilot-mcp-config.json	MCP Servers
Skills	.github/skills/**/*.md	Agents & Skills
Agents	.github/agents/**/*.agent.md	Agents & Skills
Hooks	.github/hooks/copilot-hooks.json + .github/hooks/scripts/**	Hooks
Setup Steps	.github/copilot-setup-steps.yml	Hooks
VS Code	.vscode/settings.json, .vscode/extensions.json	Permissions

Set hasConfig = true if any of the above are found.

1b. Application source stack

Signal	Stack	Key files to scan
package.json, *.ts, *.js	Node.js / TypeScript	src/**, routes/**, api/**, pages/**
requirements.txt, *.py	Python	app/**, src/**, views/**, api/**
Gemfile, *.rb	Ruby / Rails	app/**, config/**, db/**
go.mod, *.go	Go	**/*.go
*.cs, *.csproj	.NET	**/*.cs, Controllers/**
pom.xml, *.java	Java	src/**/*.java

Set hasSource = true if any application source files are found. If scope is a path, narrow source detection to that path.

Record: list of discovered config files, detected stack, total source files found, entry points identified.

1c. Bail rule

If !hasConfig && !hasSource: report "No ATV configuration or application source detected. Run npx atv-starterkit init to scaffold an agentic environment, or run /atv-security from a project directory." and stop.

If scope=config and !hasConfig: report "Scope config requested but no .github/ directory found." and stop. If scope ∈ {owasp, stride, <path>} and !hasSource: report "Scope requires application source, but none found." and stop.

---

Phase 2: Tier 1 Config Scan — Deterministic Detection

Run only when hasConfig && scope ∈ {full, config}.

Run grep_search with isRegexp: true for each pattern below. For each match, record a finding with the specified fields.

Secrets Rules

Rule	Pattern	Scope	Severity	Fix
SEC-01	sk-ant-[a-zA-Z0-9]{20,}	All .github/**, .vscode/**	🔴 critical	Replace with ${ANTHROPIC_API_KEY} env var reference

SEC-03	AKIA[0-9A-Z]{16}	All .github/**, .vscode/**	🔴 critical	Replace with ${AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID} env var reference

For rules whose regex patterns require alternation, use the entries below instead of markdown table rows so the raw | characters remain valid for isRegexp: true:

• SEC-04
  • Pattern: (?:ghp_[a-zA-Z0-9]{36}|github_pat_[a-zA-Z0-9]{22,})
  • Scope: All .github/**, .vscode/**

• HOOK-02
  • Pattern: (?:curl\s+-X\s+POST.*\$|wget\s+--post)
  • Scope: .github/hooks/scripts/**
  • Severity: 🔴 critical
  • Fix: Remove data exfiltration patterns or restrict to known-safe URLs

Rule	Pattern	Scope	Severity	Fix
HOOK-03a	2>/dev/null	.github/hooks/scripts/**	🟢 medium	Log errors instead of suppressing them silently
HOOK-03b	|| true$	.github/hooks/scripts/**	🟢 medium	Log errors instead of suppressing them silently
HOOK-03c	|| exit 0$	.github/hooks/scripts/**	🟢 medium	Log errors instead of suppressing them silently

Agent & Skill Rules (grep-detectable)

Rule	Pattern	Scope	Severity	Fix
AGENT-01	[\u200B\u200C\u200D\uFEFF]	.github/skills/**, .github/agents/**, .github/copilot-instructions.md	🔴 critical	Remove zero-width characters — likely hidden instruction injection
AGENT-02	[A-Za-z0-9+/]{80,}={0,2}	.github/skills/**, .github/agents/**	🟢 medium	Decode and inspect — may contain hidden instructions. Ignore if preceded by sha256:, data:, or http

Permission Rules (grep-detectable)

Rule	Pattern	Scope	Severity	Fix
PERM-01	security\.workspace\.trust\.enabled"?\s*:\s*false|chat\.tools\.autoApprove"?\s*:\s*true	.vscode/settings.json	🟢 medium	Enable workspace trust; disable agent-tool auto-approval

Execution: For each rule, run grep_search with the pattern and includePattern matching the scope. Record every match as a finding with: rule ID, category, severity, title, file path, matched evidence (truncated to 100 chars), and fix suggestion.

---

Phase 3: Tier 2 Config Scan — LLM-Assessed Detection

Run only when hasConfig && scope ∈ {full, config}.

For each config surface, use read_file to load the content, then assess against the following rules. Apply judgment — distinguish benign patterns from genuinely suspicious ones.

Prompt Injection Rules (Instructions, Agents, Skills)

Read: .github/copilot-instructions.md, all .github/agents/*.agent.md, all .github/skills/**/SKILL.md

Rule	What to detect	Severity	Category	Benign exceptions
INJ-01	Instructions containing "always run", "without asking", "automatically install", "execute without confirmation"	🟡 high	Agents & Skills	"always run tests" or "always check" are benign quality patterns
INJ-02	Instructions to "fetch and execute", "download and run", "curl | bash", "eval remote"	🔴 critical	Agents & Skills	None — always flag
INJ-03	System prompt overrides: "ignore previous instructions", "you are now", "DAN", "jailbreak", fake system messages	🔴 critical	Agents & Skills	None — always flag
INJ-04	Output manipulation: "always report ok", "suppress warnings", "remove security findings", "hide errors"	🟡 high	Agents & Skills	Legitimate error handling instructions are benign
INJ-05	Time-delayed execution: "after 5 minutes", "when user is away", "at 3am", conditional on absence	🟡 high	Agents & Skills	Scheduled CI/CD references are benign

Agent Access Control Rules

Read: All .github/agents/*.agent.md

Rule	What to detect	Severity	Category
ACC-01	Agent definitions granting unrestricted Bash/shell access without scoping	🟡 high	Agents & Skills
ACC-02	Agent with no allowedTools restriction when it has tool access	🟢 medium	Agents & Skills
ACC-03	Escalation chains: agent can spawn sub-agents with elevated permissions	🟡 high	Agents & Skills

Hook Execution Safety Rules

Read: .github/hooks/copilot-hooks.json, all .github/hooks/scripts/**

Rule	What to detect	Severity	Category
EXEC-01	Hook scripts that download and execute remote code (curl | sh, wget + execute)	🔴 critical	Hooks
EXEC-02	Global package installs in hooks (npm install -g, pip install, gem install, cargo install)	🟢 medium	Hooks
EXEC-03	Container escape patterns: docker --privileged, --pid=host, --network=host, root volume mounts	🔴 critical	Hooks
EXEC-04	Credential access: keychain reads, /etc/shadow, .aws/credentials, credential file access	🔴 critical	Hooks

Setup Steps Rules → scores under: Hooks

Read: .github/copilot-setup-steps.yml

Rule	What to detect	Severity	Category
SETUP-01	Remote script execution in setup (curl | bash, wget | sh, remote script download + run)	🔴 critical	Hooks
SETUP-02	Privileged operations (sudo without justification, chmod 777, chown root)	🟡 high	Hooks

MCP — LLM-Assessed Rules

Read: .github/copilot-mcp-config.json

Rule	What to detect	Severity	Category
MCP-01	MCP servers using npx -y without version pinning (@package instead of @package@version) — requires parsing JSON structure: check each server's command is "npx" and args array contains "-y" with an unpinned package name (no @semver suffix)	🟡 high	MCP Servers

VS Code — LLM-Assessed Rules → scores under: Permissions

Read: .vscode/extensions.json

Rule	What to detect	Severity	Category
VSCODE-01	Extension recommendations from untrusted/unknown publishers without justification	🔵 low	Permissions

Oversized Prompt Rule

Read: All .github/skills/**/SKILL.md, all .github/agents/*.agent.md

Rule	What to detect	Severity	Category
AGENT-03	Files with >8,000 characters of effective prose (exclude YAML frontmatter, fenced code blocks, and markdown tables from count)	🟢 medium	Agents & Skills

AGENT-03 exemptions: Skip the following first-party security skill files. They intentionally bundle config + OWASP + STRIDE rule definitions and exceed 8,000 chars by design:

• .github/skills/atv-security/SKILL.md

This exemption applies to the file currently performing the scan and any other ATV-bundled security skills with the same purpose. Do not exempt user-authored skills — long custom skills are legitimate findings.

Execution: For each rule, read the relevant files, assess content against criteria, and record findings. Include the specific evidence that triggered the finding (quoted text, line context). Distinguish benign patterns from suspicious ones using the exceptions listed.

---

Phase 4: OWASP Top 10 (2021) Scan

Run only when hasSource && scope ∈ {full, owasp, <path>}.

For each category, use grep_search for Tier 1 patterns and read_file + LLM assessment for Tier 2. Scan only application source files, not .github/ configs. If scope is a path, scope all greps and reads to that path.

A01: Broken Access Control

Tier 1 — grep patterns:

Pattern	What it catches	Severity
role\s*===?\s*["']admin["'] scoped to route/controller files	Hardcoded role checks instead of RBAC	🟢 medium
req\.user\s*&& without authorization middleware	Ad-hoc auth checks bypassing middleware	🟡 high

Tier 2 — LLM assessment:

• Read route/controller files. Check: Are all state-changing endpoints protected by auth middleware?
• Look for: direct object references without ownership validation (e.g., /users/:id without checking req.user.id === id)
• Look for: missing authorization on admin/management endpoints
• Severity: 🟡 high per unprotected endpoint

A02: Cryptographic Failures

Tier 1 — grep patterns:

Pattern	What it catches	Severity
`(?:md5	sha1	DES
http:// in API endpoint URLs (not localhost)	Unencrypted data in transit	🟢 medium
password.*=.*["'][^$]	Hardcoded passwords	🔴 critical

Tier 2 — LLM assessment:

• Check: Are passwords hashed with bcrypt/scrypt/argon2, not MD5/SHA1?
• Check: Is sensitive data (PII, tokens, cards) encrypted at rest?
• Check: Are TLS/HTTPS enforced for external communications?

A03: Injection

Tier 1 — grep patterns:

For A03 alternation patterns, use the entries below instead of markdown table rows so the raw | characters remain valid for isRegexp: true:

• SQL injection via string concatenation — 🔴 critical
  • Pattern: query\s*\(\s*["'\x60].*\$\{ or query\s*\(.*\+\s*
• Code injection — 🔴 critical
  • Pattern: (?:eval|exec|Function)\s*\( with variable input
• XSS via unsafe HTML rendering — 🟡 high
  • Pattern: (?:innerHTML\s*=|dangerouslySetInnerHTML|\| safe|\|raw)
• OS command injection — 🔴 critical
  • Pattern: child_process\.(?:exec|spawn).*\$\{ or subprocess\.call.*\+
• NoSQL injection — 🟡 high
  • Pattern: \.find\(\{.*\$ or \.aggregate\(\[.*\$ in Mongo contexts

Tier 2 — LLM assessment:

• Read files with database queries. Are all queries parameterized?
• Read template files. Is user input escaped before rendering?
• Check for LDAP injection, XPath injection, header injection patterns

A04: Insecure Design

Tier 2 — LLM assessment only (no grep patterns):

• Check: Is there rate limiting on auth endpoints (login, register, password reset)?
• Check: Are there business logic flaws (e.g., negative quantity in cart, price manipulation)?
• Check: Is there account enumeration via different error messages for valid/invalid usernames?
• Severity: 🟡 high per design flaw

A05: Security Misconfiguration

Tier 1 — grep patterns:

• Debug mode enabled — 🟡 high
  • Pattern: (?:DEBUG\s*=\s*True|debug:\s*true)
• Unrestricted CORS — 🟡 high
  • Pattern: cors\(\) without origin restriction, or origin:\s*["']\*["']
• Django wildcard hosts — 🟡 high
  • Pattern: ALLOWED_HOSTS\s*=\s*\[["']\*["']\]

Tier 2 — LLM assessment:

• Check: Are default credentials changed?
• Check: Are error pages custom (not showing stack traces)?
• Check: Are unnecessary features/endpoints disabled in production config?
• Check: In Node.js/Express apps, are security headers configured appropriately (for example, via helmet or equivalent middleware)? This is an absence check that requires reading the app setup, not a grep pattern.

A06: Vulnerable and Outdated Components

Tier 1 — grep patterns:

Pattern	What it catches	Severity
"dependencies" in package.json	Check for known-vulnerable versions	🟢 medium

Tier 2 — LLM assessment:

• Read package.json, requirements.txt, Gemfile, or go.mod
• Flag any dependency that hasn't been updated in >1 year (check version patterns)
• Recommend: npm audit, pip-audit, bundle audit, govulncheck
• Severity: 🟢 medium (recommend tooling, don't duplicate it)

A07: Identification and Authentication Failures

Tier 1 — grep patterns:

• Excessive token lifetime — 🟡 high
  • Pattern: jwt\.sign.*expiresIn.*(?:["']30d|["']365d|["']never)
• Long session duration — 🟢 medium
  • Pattern: session.*maxAge.*86400000 (>24h in ms)
• Weak bcrypt rounds (<6) — 🟡 high
  • Pattern: (?:bcrypt|salt).*rounds.*[1-5][^0-9]

Tier 2 — LLM assessment:

• Check: Is there brute-force protection (account lockout, progressive delays)?
• Check: Is password complexity enforced?
• Check: Are sessions invalidated on logout/password change?

A08: Software and Data Integrity Failures

Tier 1 — grep patterns:

Pattern	What it catches	Severity
`(?:deserialize	unserialize	pickle.load

Tier 2 — LLM assessment:

• Check: Is CI/CD pipeline protected against tampering?
• Check: Are software updates verified with signatures?
• Check: Do HTML pages include <script src="https://..."> tags that load third-party/CDN scripts without an integrity attribute (Subresource Integrity)? This requires reading/parsing the tag — a simple grep can't validate absence of an attribute reliably.

A09: Security Logging and Monitoring Failures

Tier 2 — LLM assessment only:

• Check: Are login failures, access denied events, and input validation failures logged?
• Check: Are logs protected against injection (structured logging vs string concat)?
• Check: Is there alerting on suspicious patterns?
• Severity: 🟢 medium per gap

A10: Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)

Tier 1 — grep patterns:

• Potential SSRF if URL is user-controlled — 🟡 high
  • Pattern: (?:fetch\s*\(\s*\w+|axios\.\w+\(\s*\w+|requests\.\w+\(\s*\w+)
• Same pattern in Go/Python — 🟡 high
  • Pattern: (?:http\.Get\(\s*\w+|urllib\.request\.urlopen\(\s*\w+)

Tier 2 — LLM assessment:

• Check: Is user input validated/allowlisted before being used in server-side HTTP requests?
• Check: Are internal network ranges (169.254.x.x, 10.x.x.x, 127.x.x.x) blocked?

---

Phase 5: STRIDE Threat Model

Run only when hasSource && scope ∈ {full, stride, <path>}.

Read the application's architecture by examining:

• Entry points (routes, API endpoints, webhooks, event handlers)
• Data flows (database queries, external API calls, file I/O)
• Trust boundaries (auth middleware, API gateways, service boundaries)
• Assets (user data, credentials, tokens, business logic)

Produce a threat matrix:

Threat	Category	Description	Affected Component	Risk	Mitigation
Spoofing	Identity	Can an attacker impersonate a user/service?	[auth system, API]	[H/M/L]	[existing or missing control]
Tampering	Data integrity	Can data be modified in transit or at rest?	[database, API payload]	[H/M/L]	[existing or missing control]
Repudiation	Accountability	Can actions be performed without audit trail?	[logging system]	[H/M/L]	[existing or missing control]
Information Disclosure	Confidentiality	Can sensitive data leak?	[error pages, logs, API responses]	[H/M/L]	[existing or missing control]
Denial of Service	Availability	Can the service be overwhelmed?	[endpoints without rate limiting]	[H/M/L]	[existing or missing control]
Elevation of Privilege	Authorization	Can a user gain unauthorized access?	[role system, admin endpoints]	[H/M/L]	[existing or missing control]

For each threat:

• Identify whether a mitigation already exists in the codebase
• If missing, provide a concrete recommendation
• Rate risk as High/Medium/Low based on exploitability and impact

---

Phase 6: Score & Grade

Compute up to three independent grades. Surfaces that were not scanned (because they were absent or out of scope) render as N/A and are excluded from the aggregate.

6a. Config Grade (only if Phase 2/3 ran)

Step 1 — Per-category deductions:

For each category, start at 100 and deduct per finding within that category:

• 🔴 critical: −15
• 🟡 high: −10
• 🟢 medium: −5
• 🔵 low: −2
• ⚪ info: 0

Floor each category at 0 (never go negative).

Category mapping for rules:

• Secrets: SEC-01 through SEC-05
• Permissions: PERM-01, VSCODE-01
• Hooks: HOOK-01 through HOOK-03, EXEC-01 through EXEC-04, SETUP-01, SETUP-02
• MCP Servers: MCP-01 through MCP-04
• Agents & Skills: AGENT-01 through AGENT-03, INJ-01 through INJ-05, ACC-01 through ACC-03

Step 2 — Weighted aggregate:

ConfigScore = Secrets×0.20 + Permissions×0.15 + Hooks×0.25 + MCP×0.25 + Agents×0.15

Round to nearest integer. Map to letter grade.

Simplified alternative: If exact arithmetic is difficult, use per-category pass/fail:

• ≥1 critical finding in category → 🔴
• ≥1 high finding (no critical) → 🟡
• Otherwise → 🟢
• Overall config status = worst category status, mapped to: 🟢→A/95, 🟡→C/70, 🔴→F/40.

6b. OWASP Grade (only if Phase 4 ran)

Start at 100, deduct per OWASP finding:

• 🔴 critical: −15
• 🟡 high: −10
• 🟢 medium: −5
• 🔵 low: −2

Floor at 0. Map to letter grade.

6c. STRIDE Posture (only if Phase 5 ran)

Count of unmitigated threats:

• 0 unmitigated: 🟢 Strong posture
• 1–2 unmitigated: 🟡 Moderate risk
• 3+ unmitigated: 🔴 Weak posture

6d. Letter grade table

Score	Grade
90–100	A
80–89	B
65–79	C
50–64	D
0–49	F

6e. Aggregate

OverallScore = unweighted mean of the present grades among {ConfigScore, OWASPScore}. STRIDE contributes to OverallScore only as a −5 penalty per unmitigated threat (capped at −20). Surfaces marked N/A are skipped — never scored as 0 or 100.

If only one surface ran, OverallScore = <that surface's score> and the other appears as N/A in the report.

---

Phase 7: Output

Run regardless of mode. In mode=fix, this report is rendered before any fix prompts.

Print the following report in chat. Do not modify any files (file modifications happen in Phase 8 persistence and Phase 9 fix).

Severity indicators: 🔴 critical, 🟡 high, 🟢 medium, 🔵 low, ⚪ info

---

Phase 8: Persist Report (always, after report is rendered and before any Fix Mode prompts)

After printing the report in chat, persist it to disk so it survives the conversation. Persistence happens immediately after Phase 7 — before the user is prompted for Fix Mode (Phase 9). This ensures the on-disk record reflects the un-fixed state of the scan; re-running with fixes applied will produce a new dated section on the next run.

Target file: docs/security/YYYY-MM-DD-security-report.md (today's date, UTC). One shared file per day. The file retains two marker blocks for backwards compatibility with reports written by the legacy /cso skill.

Marker semantics (post-merge):

• The <!-- atv-security:start --> ... <!-- atv-security:end --> block holds the config audit section.
• The <!-- cso:start --> ... <!-- cso:end --> block holds the OWASP + STRIDE section. The block heading remains ## /cso Scan for backward compatibility, with a one-line subnote indicating it is now generated by /atv-security.

Steps:

1. Ensure docs/security/ exists. If not, create it (write the file — the directory is created implicitly).
2. Compute today's date as YYYY-MM-DD and the run timestamp as ISO-8601 (e.g., 2026-04-26T14:32:10Z).
3. Try to read_file the target path.
   • If the file does not exist: create_file with this skeleton, then continue at step 4:

     # Security Report — YYYY-MM-DD
     
     <!-- atv-security:start -->
     ## /atv-security Scan
     _No scan recorded yet._
     <!-- atv-security:end -->
     
     <!-- cso:start -->
     ## /cso Scan
     _Generated by /atv-security after the /cso skill was folded in._
     
     _No scan recorded yet._
     <!-- cso:end -->
     

   • If the file exists: continue at step 4. If a marker block is missing on read, append a fresh block of that type to the end of the file (do NOT overwrite).
4. Build the new section content for whichever phases ran:
   • Config block (if config was scanned):

     ## /atv-security Scan — <ISO timestamp>
     
     - **Mode:** report | fix
     - **Scope:** full | config
     - **Config Grade:** <A–F> · **Score:** <0–100>/100
     - **Files scanned:** <N>
     
     <full config-section markdown from Phase 7>
     

   • OWASP/STRIDE block (if OWASP and/or STRIDE was scanned):

     ## /cso Scan — <ISO timestamp>

5. Use replace_string_in_file to swap the matching marker block(s). Only update the block(s) corresponding to phases that actually ran — never wipe the other block.
6. Confirm in chat: 📄 Report saved to docs/security/YYYY-MM-DD-security-report.md.

Constraints:

• Never delete or modify a marker block whose phase did not run this invocation.
• Always keep both marker pairs intact in the on-disk file.
• If a marker block cannot be found (file was hand-edited and markers stripped), append the full marker block to the end of the file rather than overwriting. Only fall back to a full-skeleton overwrite if the file is unparseable; in that case, write a backup copy first to docs/security/YYYY-MM-DD-security-report.md.bak.<unix-timestamp> and warn the user that prior content was preserved in the backup.

Phase 9: Fix Mode (opt-in, only when mode=fix)

After persisting the report (Phase 8), apply safe fixes for auto-fixable findings. Fix mode applies only to config findings — OWASP/STRIDE findings are reported but never auto-fixed (changing application source code requires human review).

Auto-fixable rules: SEC-01 through SEC-05 (secret→env var), MCP-02 (wildcard→scoped tools), MCP-04 (secret→env var in MCP env).

Safety protocol:

1. Snapshot: Before touching any file, use read_file to load its entire content. Hold in context as rollback backup.

2. Present fix: Show the user a before/after diff for each proposed fix:

   Fix [RULE-ID]: Replace hardcoded secret with env var reference
   File: .github/copilot-mcp-config.json
   Before: "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "sk-ant-abc123..."
   After:  "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "${ANTHROPIC_API_KEY}"
   Apply? (y/n)
   

3. Confirm: Wait for explicit user confirmation before each fix.

4. Apply: Use replace_string_in_file to apply the change.

5. Validate: Re-read the file with read_file. Confirm JSON/YAML parses correctly:

   • For JSON: check for balanced braces, no trailing commas, valid syntax
   • For YAML: check for valid indentation and structure

6. Revert on failure: If validation fails, use replace_string_in_file with the saved original content to restore the file. Report the error to the user.

7. Summary: After all fixes, report: "Applied N fixes, skipped M. Re-run /atv-security to verify."

Constraints:

• Only value replacements within existing keys — never add, remove, or restructure JSON/YAML keys
• Never apply fixes without user confirmation
• Never apply fixes to files that failed parse validation
• Never auto-fix OWASP/STRIDE findings — recommend manual remediation

Finding Structure

Every finding must include these fields:

Field	Description
Rule ID	e.g., SEC-01, MCP-02, INJ-03, A03 (OWASP), STRIDE-S/T/R/I/D/E
Surface	Config / OWASP / STRIDE
Category	Secrets / Permissions / Hooks / MCP Servers / Agents & Skills (config) — or OWASP A01–A10 — or STRIDE letter
Severity	🔴 critical / 🟡 high / 🟢 medium / 🔵 low / ⚪ info
Title	Short descriptive title
File	Repo-relative path to the affected file
Evidence	Matched text or assessment reason (truncated to 100 chars)
Fix	Actionable remediation suggestion
Auto-fixable	Yes/No — applies to config Tier 1 secret rules SEC-01–SEC-05 plus MCP-02 and MCP-04. OWASP/STRIDE findings are always No.

What This Skill Does NOT Do

• Run dynamic application security testing (DAST/penetration testing)
• Scan container images or infrastructure-as-code
• Replace dedicated SAST tools (Semgrep, CodeQL, Snyk) — the OWASP phase is a fast triage layer, not a substitute
• Perform runtime monitoring or sandbox execution
• Replace ce-review's diff-based security persona
• Run Opus 4.6 multi-agent adversarial analysis
• Create CI/CD GitHub Actions or pre-commit hooks
• Modify application source code (OWASP/STRIDE findings are report-only)
• Modify config files without explicit user confirmation (fix mode only)
