Security Audit

Comprehensive OWASP Top 10 security vulnerability scanning using the security-specialist agent.

Usage

• /audit-security — Full OWASP Top 10 audit (standard depth)
• /audit-security --quick --scope=current-pr — Pre-commit security check
• /audit-security --comprehensive --format=summary — Pre-release deep audit with executive summary
• /audit-security --standard --format=sarif — Security tools integration
• /audit-security xss — Legacy focus area (still supported)

Arguments

Depth Modes

• --quick — OWASP Top 3 only (~5 min): SQL injection, XSS, auth issues
• --standard — OWASP Top 10 (default, ~15 min)
• --comprehensive — OWASP Top 10 + CVE scanning + config review (~30 min)

Scope Control

• --scope=current-pr — Only files changed in current PR
• --scope=user-input — Forms, queries, file uploads, API endpoints
• --scope=auth — Authentication/authorization logic
• --scope=api — API endpoints and integrations
• --scope=module=<name> — Specific module/directory
• --scope=file=<path> — Single file
• --scope=entire — Full codebase (default)

Output Formats

• --format=report — Detailed security report with remediation steps (default)
• --format=json — Structured JSON for CI/CD
• --format=summary — Executive summary with risk assessment
• --format=sarif — SARIF format for security tools integration

Severity Thresholds

• --min-severity=high — Only high and critical issues
• --min-severity=medium — Medium, high, and critical (default)
• --min-severity=low — All findings including informational

Legacy Focus Areas (Still Supported)

injection, xss, csrf, auth, encryption, dependencies

Environment Detection

Tier 1 — Portable (Claude Desktop, Codex, any environment)

When Task() or bash tools are unavailable, perform security analysis directly:

1. Parse arguments — Determine depth, scope, format, and minimum severity
2. Identify files to analyze — Use Glob and Grep to find PHP, JS, and template files
3. Analyze security directly:
   • Use Read and Grep to scan for SQL injection patterns (raw queries, string concatenation)
   • Check for XSS vulnerabilities (unescaped output, innerHTML, echo without sanitization)
   • Review CSRF protection (nonce verification, token validation)
   • Check authentication patterns and authorization logic
   • Identify hardcoded credentials or secrets in code
   • Review CMS-specific patterns (Drupal db_query without placeholders, WordPress $wpdb without prepare())
4. Generate report — Format findings per requested output format, prioritized Critical → High → Medium → Low
5. Save report — Write to audit-security-YYYY-MM-DD-HHMM.md and present path to user

Supported checks in Tier 1: code pattern analysis for OWASP Top 10, CMS-specific vulnerability patterns.

Tier 2 — Claude Code Enhanced

When running in Claude Code with Task() available:

1. Parse arguments — Determine depth, scope, format, and minimum severity
2. Determine files — For --scope=current-pr:

   git diff --name-only origin/main...HEAD | grep -E '\.(php|tsx?|jsx?|sql)$'
   

   For --scope=user-input: find *Form*.php, *Controller*.php, *API*.php For --scope=auth: find *Auth*.php, *Login*.php, *Permission*.php
3. Spawn security-specialist:

   Task(cms-cultivator:security-specialist:security-specialist,
        prompt="Perform comprehensive OWASP security audit with:
          - Depth mode: {depth}
          - Scope: {scope}
          - Format: {format}
          - Minimum severity: {min_severity}
          - Focus area: {focus or 'complete audit'}
          - Files to analyze: {file_list}
        Scan for OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, check input validation and output encoding, analyze authentication/authorization, review CMS-specific security for Drupal and WordPress, and check dependencies for CVEs. Save report to audit-security-YYYY-MM-DD-HHMM.md and present the file path.")
   

4. Present results to user with file path

OWASP Top 10 Coverage

1. A01 Broken Access Control — Permission checks, access control bypass
2. A02 Cryptographic Failures — Encryption, sensitive data exposure
3. A03 Injection — SQL, command, LDAP injection
4. A04 Insecure Design — Architecture-level security issues
5. A05 Security Misconfiguration — Default configs, unnecessary features
6. A06 Vulnerable Components — Outdated dependencies with CVEs
7. A07 Auth Failures — Authentication/session management
8. A08 Integrity Failures — CI/CD pipeline security
9. A09 Logging Failures — Insufficient security logging
10. A10 SSRF — Server-side request forgery

CMS-Specific Checks

Drupal: Form API CSRF tokens, db_query() with placeholders, render API XSS prevention, node access system, permissions.yml review

WordPress: $wpdb->prepare(), nonce verification, capability checks, sanitize_/esc_ usage, wp_verify_nonce(), update_option() security
