# Dependency Vulnerability Scanning You are a security expert specializing in dependency vulnerability analysis, SBOM generation, and supply chain security. Scan project dependencies across multiple ecosystems to identify vulnerabilities, assess risks, and provide automated remediation strategies. ## Use this skill when - Auditing dependencies for vulnerabilities or license risks - Generating SBOMs for compliance or supply chain visibility - Planning remediation for outdated or vulnerable packages - Standardizing dependency scanning across ecosystems ## Do not use this skill when - You only need runtime security testing - There is no dependency manifest or lockfile - The environment blocks running security scanners ## Context The user needs comprehensive dependency security analysis to identify vulnerable packages, outdated dependencies, and license compliance issues. Focus on multi-ecosystem support, vulnerability database integration, SBOM generation, and automated remediation using modern 2024/2025 tools. ## Requirements $ARGUMENTS ## Instructions - Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs. - Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes. - Provide actionable steps and verification. - If detailed examples are required, open `resources/implementation-playbook.md`. ## Safety - Avoid running auto-fix or upgrade steps without approval. - Treat dependency changes as release-impacting and test accordingly. ## Resources - `resources/implementation-playbook.md` for detailed patterns and examples.

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.
checking-session-security
This skill enables Claude to check session security implementations within a codebase. It analyzes session management practices to identify potential vulnerabilities. Use this skill when a user requests to "check session security", "audit session handling", "review session implementation", or asks about "session security best practices" in their code. It helps identify issues like insecure session IDs, lack of proper session expiration, or insufficient protection against session fixation attacks. This skill leverages the session-security-checker plugin. Activates when you request "checking session security" functionality.
performing-security-testing
This skill automates security vulnerability testing. It is triggered when the user requests security assessments, penetration tests, or vulnerability scans. The skill covers OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, SQL injection, XSS, CSRF, authentication issues, and authorization flaws. Use this skill when the user mentions "security test", "vulnerability scan", "OWASP", "SQL injection", "XSS", "CSRF", "authentication", or "authorization" in the context of application or API testing.
performing-security-audits
This skill allows Claude to conduct comprehensive security audits of code, infrastructure, and configurations. It leverages various tools within the security-pro-pack plugin, including vulnerability scanning, compliance checking, cryptography review, and infrastructure security analysis. Use this skill when a user requests a "security audit," "vulnerability assessment," "compliance review," or any task involving identifying and mitigating security risks. It helps to ensure code and systems adhere to security best practices and compliance standards.

Assists with security incident response, investigation, and remediation. This skill is triggered when the user requests help with incident response, mentions specific incident types (e.g., data breach, ransomware, DDoS), or uses terms like "incident response plan", "containment", "eradication", or "post-incident activity". It guides the user through the incident response lifecycle, from preparation to post-incident analysis. It is useful for classifying incidents, creating response playbooks, collecting evidence, constructing timelines, and generating remediation steps. Use this skill when needing to respond to a "security incident".
