Security Scan Skill

What problem does it solve?

Manually identifying security vulnerabilities, exposed secrets, and incorrect file permissions in plugins is a complex and critical task. This skill automates comprehensive security scans, including secret detection, file analysis, and URL validation, to ensure plugins are secure and compliant, reducing your risk of breaches.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Secret Scanning: Detects hardcoded secrets, API keys, and sensitive information that could lead to security breaches.
• File & Permission Analysis: Checks for insecure file configurations and permissions, preventing unauthorized access.
• URL Validation: Verifies the safety and validity of external URLs, protecting users from malicious links.
• Full Security Audit: Performs a comprehensive security assessment of the plugin codebase, covering multiple vulnerability types.
• Use Case: Before publishing a plugin, a security auditor uses this skill to run a full security audit. This includes scanning for any accidentally committed credentials, checking that sensitive files have correct permissions, and validating all external links to prevent phishing or malware.

Quick Start
