SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Security reviews of application code, cloud architecture, and CI/CD pipelines often produce noisy scanner output or vague advice. This Skill performs a structured, senior-engineer-grade security assessment that separates confirmed issues from speculation, prioritizes by real exploitability and blast radius, and delivers concrete fixes engineering teams can ship. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Evidence-Based Findings: Every issue is labeled Confirmed, Likely, or Possible with severity ratings (Critical through Informational) tied to concrete evidence in your code, configs, or scan output. - Broad Domain Coverage: Reviews application code and APIs, AWS/Azure/GCP architecture and IAM, containers, Kubernetes, serverless, Terraform/CloudFormation/Bicep/Helm, CI/CD pipelines, and dependency or supply-chain risk. - Structured Remediation Reports: Produces a consistent report with findings, prioritization (fix now vs. schedule vs. accept with compensating controls), hardening recommendations, and mappings to OWASP, CWE, MITRE ATT&CK, and CIS Benchmarks. - Use Case: Point it at a Terraform module and Kubernetes manifests before deployment to catch public exposure, overbroad IAM roles, and privileged containers, then receive safer example configurations and validation steps for each finding. ## Quick Start Use the cloud-security-vulnerability-expert skill to review this Terraform configuration and Kubernetes deployment for exploitable security risks and prioritized remediations.

Frequently Asked Questions about cloud-security-vulnerability-expert

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I review Terraform or CloudFormation for security issues?▼

Provide the infrastructure-as-code files and the skill checks for public resources, permissive security groups, broad RBAC, weak encryption, and unsafe defaults. Each finding includes severity, evidence, a recommended fix, and safer example configuration.

How to triage vulnerability scan findings for false positives?▼

The skill verifies the vulnerable component actually exists in the deployed asset, checks reachability and exposure, required privileges, blast radius, and compensating controls. It also checks version ranges, patched backports, and non-runtime dependencies to reduce false positives.

What cloud platforms does this security review support?▼

It covers AWS, Azure, and GCP, including IAM policies, storage exposure, network segmentation, secrets management, and cross-account blast radius. It also reviews Kubernetes, Docker, serverless workloads, and CI/CD systems like Azure DevOps, GitLab CI, and Jenkins.

Does the skill provide exploitation steps for found vulnerabilities?▼

No. It explains realistic attack paths and abuse cases for risk assessment but deliberately avoids weaponized exploitation steps, offensive tradecraft, or malware. All guidance stays defensive and remediation-focused.

How are severity and confidence ratings assigned to findings?▼

Severity (Critical to Informational) reflects exploitability, exposure, privileges gained, and blast radius. Confidence (Confirmed, Likely, Possible) reflects how direct the available evidence is, with missing evidence explicitly noted for unconfirmed findings.
