View on GitHub

Paranoid OWASP-oriented security analysis for a SINGLE unit of work — one PR, one spec under `.ai/specs/`, or one branch diff. Hunts non-obvious attack vectors beyond OWASP Top 10, flags same-pattern hotspots elsewhere, and emits "Next steps — go deeper" follow-ups. Writes markdown + HTML under `.ai/analysis/`; runs standalone or as a sub-unit of `om-auto-sec-report`.

Auto Security Report — Single Unit

Analyze ONE unit of work — a PR, a spec file, or a branch diff — for security issues. The analysis is intentionally paranoid: it scans for obvious OWASP Top 10 categories AND for less-obvious attack vectors that are easy to miss in a conventional code review. For every finding it proposes concrete "Next steps — go deeper" follow-up scopes so the next run of this same skill can drill further.

This skill is the atomic building block used by om-auto-sec-report (the multi-unit driver). It can also be invoked directly against a single target when you want a deep read on exactly one thing.

Arguments

  • {target} (required) — one of:
    • pr:{number} or a bare number (e.g. 1456) — analyze one pull request. Works for merged or open PRs.
    • spec:{path} or any path ending in .md under .ai/specs/ or .ai/specs/enterprise/ — analyze one specification.
    • branch:{name} — analyze the diff of a branch against the base (defaults to origin/develop). Works with local branches after a git fetch origin {name}.
  • --base <branch> (optional) — base ref for the branch/PR diff. Defaults to origin/develop.
  • --out-fragment <path> (optional) — when invoked as a sub-unit by om-auto-sec-report, write the markdown section fragment to this path instead of creating a standalone artifact + PR. When set, do NOT open a PR. Presence of this flag is the only signal that the skill is running as a sub-unit.
  • --deep-scan (optional) — expand the "apply elsewhere" grep sweeps to the full repository rather than the modules touched by the unit. Slower. Off by default. om-auto-sec-report passes this through when it wants aggregated cross-codebase findings.
  • --slug <kebab-case> (optional) — override the slug used in the plan and artifact filenames. Default: derived from the target.
  • --force (optional) — bypass the claim-conflict check when taking over a previously-started run.

Dependencies on other skills

This skill is a specialization. Do not re-implement what these already cover — invoke or quote them:

  • .agents/skills/om-code-review/SKILL.md and its checklist at .agents/skills/om-code-review/references/review-checklist.md are the authoritative source for Open Mercato's security baseline (tenant scoping, findWithDecryption, zod validation, RBAC via acl.ts, password hashing, no raw fetch). Apply them first; only add OWASP/paranoid checks on top.
  • .agents/skills/om-auto-review-pr/SKILL.md defines the claim/lock/worktree pattern used here verbatim (see step 1 below).
  • .ai/skills/om-spec-writing/references/spec-checklist.md and spec-writing/references/compliance-review.md are the authoritative sources when the target is a spec (section 3 "Data Integrity & Security", compliance matrix fields).
  • .ai/skills/om-pre-implement-spec/SKILL.md is the authoritative source for backward-compatibility risk (13 contract surfaces). Use it as a cross-check when reviewing a spec that is about to be implemented.
  • .ai/skills/om-auto-sec-report-pr/references/deep-attack-vectors.md is the bundled paranoid checklist loaded during every run.

Workflow

1. Claim and isolate

When {target} is pr:{n} or a bare PR number, apply the claim protocol from .agents/skills/om-auto-review-pr/SKILL.md step 0 verbatim (assignee, in-progress label, 🤖 claim comment). Release the lock on finish via a trap/finally even on failure.

When {target} is a spec or a branch, there is no PR to claim. Still run in an isolated worktree:

REPO_ROOT=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)
GIT_DIR=$(git rev-parse --git-dir)
GIT_COMMON_DIR=$(git rev-parse --git-common-dir)
WORKTREE_PARENT="$REPO_ROOT/.ai/tmp/auto-sec-report-pr"
CREATED_WORKTREE=0

if [ "$GIT_DIR" != "$GIT_COMMON_DIR" ]; then
  WORKTREE_DIR="$PWD"
else
  WORKTREE_DIR="$WORKTREE_PARENT/${SLUG}-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)"
  mkdir -p "$WORKTREE_PARENT"
  case "$TARGET_KIND" in
    pr)
      gh pr checkout "${TARGET}" --recurse-submodules=no
      git worktree add --detach "$WORKTREE_DIR" HEAD ;;
    branch)
      git fetch origin "${TARGET}"
      git worktree add "$WORKTREE_DIR" "origin/${TARGET}" ;;
    spec)
      git fetch origin develop
      git worktree add --detach "$WORKTREE_DIR" origin/develop ;;
  esac
  CREATED_WORKTREE=1
fi

cd "$WORKTREE_DIR"
yarn install --mode=skip-build

Rules:

  • Reuse the current linked worktree if already inside one. Never nest worktrees. Always clean up the temporary worktree at the end in a trap/finally.

2. Resolve the unit

Compute the set of changed files and the text to analyze based on the target kind:

  • pr: changed files via gh pr view {n} --json files; diff via gh pr diff {n} --patch; body/title/labels via gh pr view.
  • branch: changed files via git diff --name-only ${BASE}..${TARGET}; diff via git diff ${BASE}..${TARGET}.
  • spec: the spec file itself plus any files it references via explicit relative links. Do NOT speculatively grep the whole repo for spec-adjacent files — only follow links the spec actually cites.

Cap per-file diff reads at ~400 lines of patch. Summarize beyond that; never paste raw diffs into the final artifact.

3. Paranoid security sweep

Run the sweep in two passes.

Pass A — Baseline (code-review alignment)

Apply every relevant item in .agents/skills/om-code-review/references/review-checklist.md to the unit. Carry forward only items where the unit actually touched the surface. Record each finding as:

  • severity: blocker | major | minor | nit | info
  • category: the closest OWASP Top 10 2021 id (A01–A10) or Out of scope (not OWASP) when the finding is correctness/quality only
  • location: file:line or spec:section
  • why: one sentence
  • fix: one sentence

Pass B — Paranoid deep vectors

Load .ai/skills/om-auto-sec-report-pr/references/deep-attack-vectors.md and walk every applicable category against the unit. Focus on non-obvious vectors that conventional code review often misses:

  • Time-of-check-time-of-use (TOCTOU) races around stock, payment, shipment, quote acceptance.
  • Cross-tenant leakage via shared cache keys, SSE channels, event bus broadcasts, or in-memory registries that do not include organization_id / tenant_id in the key.
  • JWT algorithm confusion (alg: none, HS↔RS swap), missing iss/ aud checks, loose expiry, token replay after password reset.
  • Signed-URL / magic-link expiry, reuse, and scope creep.
  • SSRF via redirect chains in outbound fetchers, DNS rebinding, IPv6 loopback bypass, link-local addresses, metadata endpoints.
  • Open redirect via relative URLs, //evil.com, unicode/RTL tricks, host header confusion.
  • Deserialization: JSON.parse on attacker-controlled with prototype pollution (__proto__, constructor, prototype), yaml.load without safe schema, eval/Function/vm sinks.
  • Path traversal in attachment and spec preview paths, symlink escape in worker sandboxes, archive slip (zip-slip).
  • ReDoS in zod regex, email/URL/phone validators, search tokenizers.
  • Log forging / log injection via unescaped user input in structured logs; PII leakage into logs; stack traces leaking to clients.
  • Mass assignment via z.object({...}).passthrough() or spreading request bodies into entities; missing .strict() on zod schemas.
  • Rate-limit identifier weaknesses (IP-only when IP is spoofable behind proxy; compound identifier missing user id; bucket collision).
  • CSRF on state-changing routes that do not check SameSite/origin; cookie flags (HttpOnly, Secure, SameSite=Lax|Strict), session fixation, session rotation on privilege change.
  • CORS with Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * on authenticated endpoints; reflected origin; credentialed CORS with wildcard.
  • Clickjacking via missing X-Frame-Options / frame-ancestors; CSP gaps (unsafe-inline, unsafe-eval, missing object-src 'none').
  • Webhook integrity: signature verification, replay protection (monotonic timestamps, nonce cache), timing-safe compare, signature-scheme downgrade (v2→v1).
  • Idempotency on money-moving flows: payments, refunds, shipments, returns, credit memos. Double-submission windows. Missing unique constraints on (tenant, idempotency_key).
  • Access control edge cases: wildcard __all__ ACL handling for non-superadmins, role rename spoofing, feature flag bypass, portal/customer auth leaking staff features.
  • Encryption defaults: PII fields that should be encrypted but are stored plain, findOne bypassing findWithDecryption, export paths that re-emit decrypted data without policy.
  • Multi-currency: rounding direction, float use for money, cross-currency totals without FX.
  • Background jobs: job payload trust, retry amplification of side-effects, cancellation-token bypass, worker reading cross-tenant data.
  • AI tool surfaces: tool injection via chat, tool authorization not honoring acl.ts, session token reuse after privilege change.
  • Supply chain: pinned vs floating dependency, post-install scripts, lockfile integrity, Renovate/Dependabot drift, unused but still resolvable packages.

For each paranoid finding, cite the exact file/line or spec section and propose a one-line fix.

4. Apply-elsewhere sweep

For every blocker or major finding in Pass A or Pass B, run a targeted Grep to find other places that exhibit the same pre-fix pattern. Scope defaults to the modules the unit already touched; --deep-scan expands to the full repo.

Hard rules:

  • Every candidate MUST cite a real file path confirmed by Grep. Do not invent candidates.
  • Cap the list at 10 candidates per finding.
  • Distinguish same pattern, same risk from same pattern, different context — worth a look.
  • None found is a valid and honest answer.

5. Next steps — go deeper

At the end of the analysis, produce a Next steps — go deeper section. This is the most important section for iterative review: it defines concrete follow-up runs of this same skill that the human reviewer (or om-auto-sec-report) can execute to drill further.

Each "next step" MUST be one of:

  • auto-sec-report-pr pr:{n} — a specific related PR surfaced by the apply-elsewhere sweep.
  • auto-sec-report-pr spec:{path} — a spec that governs the area and may have gaps worth verifying.
  • auto-sec-report-pr branch:{name} — a branch that is about to land and touches the same surface.
  • auto-sec-report-pr pr:{n} --deep-scan — re-run the same PR with full-repo grep if the initial sweep was module-scoped.
  • A named follow-up scope (e.g. "audit packages/core/src/modules/sales/ for TOCTOU on quote acceptance") with a one-sentence justification.

Produce 3–10 next steps. Order them by expected security impact, highest first. Mark the single "recommended next run" so an autonomous driver can auto-queue it.

6. Emit the artifact

Two modes:

6a. Standalone mode (no --out-fragment)

Write to .ai/analysis/auto-sec-report-pr-{target-slug}-{DATE}.md using this outline:

# Auto Security Report (single unit) — {target caption}

Target: **{pr:123 | spec:.ai/specs/... | branch:feat/...}**
Base:   `{base}`
Date:   {DATE}

## Executive Summary

- {count} findings: {N blocker, M major, L minor, K nit, I info}.
- Top OWASP categories: {A01, A10}.
- Top paranoid vectors surfaced: {TOCTOU, SSRF redirect chain, JWT
  alg confusion, ...}.
- Recommended next run: `auto-sec-report-pr {target}` — {one sentence}.

## Findings

### [Blocker] A01 Broken Access Control — `path/to/file.ts:42`

- **What:** {one sentence}
- **Why:** {one sentence}
- **Fix:** {one sentence}
- **Apply elsewhere:**
  - `path/to/other.ts:88` — {one-line justification}
  - ...

### [Major] A10 SSRF — `path/to/file.ts:120`
... repeat ...

## Paranoid Deep Vectors — What Was Checked

A checklist of non-obvious vectors exercised against this unit, with
a short outcome per vector: `covered`, `risk surfaced`, `not
applicable`, or `inconclusive (next step)`.

| Vector | Outcome | Location or note |
|---|---|---|
| TOCTOU on money-moving flows | risk surfaced | path/to/file.ts:200 |
| Cache-key cross-tenant leakage | covered | organization_id present |
| JWT algorithm confusion | not applicable | no JWT surface changed |
| ... | ... | ... |

## Next Steps — Go Deeper

Ordered highest-impact first. The **recommended next run** is marked.

- **[recommended]** `auto-sec-report-pr pr:1234` — {why this is the
  biggest remaining risk}.
- `auto-sec-report-pr spec:.ai/specs/2026-04-15-foo.md` — {why}.
- `auto-sec-report-pr branch:feat/bar` — {why}.
- Audit `packages/core/src/modules/sales/` for TOCTOU on concurrent
  shipment creation — {why}.
- ...

## Appendix — Inputs

- Changed files: {count} (list first 20, then `...`).
- PR body / spec body excerpt (redacted of secrets): N lines.
- Commits inspected: {list of SHAs when target is a PR/branch}.

Also render a stand-alone HTML mirror at .ai/analysis/auto-sec-report-pr-{target-slug}-{DATE}.html following the same HTML rules documented in om-auto-sec-report:

  • Inline <style> only; no JS; no remote assets.
  • Mirror every section. Preserve every PR/issue/CVE link as <a> with rel="noopener noreferrer".

After the artifacts exist, follow .agents/skills/om-auto-create-pr/SKILL.md verbatim to open a docs-only PR against develop. PR title: docs(analysis): add auto-sec-report-pr for {target caption}. Labels: review, documentation, security, skip-qa, plus one priority label and one risk label. The report itself is docs-only (skip-qa), so default it to priority-medium; but when the report documents an exploitable or live security weakness, set priority-high (or priority-extreme for an active incident) so the follow-up remediation is triaged with appropriate urgency, and call out that priority in the PR summary. The PR adds only a Markdown report — no code ships — so the change itself is risk-low regardless of how severe the documented finding is (severity drives priority, not the risk of merging this docs PR). Never merge from within this skill.

6b. Sub-unit mode (--out-fragment set)

Skip artifact creation, PR creation, labelling, and auto-review. Instead, write a markdown section fragment to the path given by --out-fragment. The fragment MUST begin with a level-2 heading (## {target caption}) and MUST include:

  • Executive summary (as bullets, no subsection heading).
  • All Findings as level-3 sections with the same shape as standalone.
  • The "Paranoid Deep Vectors" table.
  • The "Next Steps — Go Deeper" list.

Do NOT duplicate the report-wide front-matter or appendix — the driver (om-auto-sec-report) owns those. Fragments are concatenated by the driver in the order it specifies.

7. Validation gate (docs-only)

  • git diff --check on the artifact files.
  • Secret-leak grep on the diff before commit:
    git diff origin/${BASE:-develop}..HEAD | \
      grep -Ei "(aws_secret|password\\s*=|bearer\\s+[A-Za-z0-9._-]{20,}|-----BEGIN [A-Z ]*PRIVATE KEY-----)"
    
    If matched: stop, redact, recommit.
  • Manual re-read of both artifacts; every PR/issue link resolves.

8. Self-review and BC review

Apply .agents/skills/om-code-review/SKILL.md to the diff of the artifact files themselves (not the unit under analysis). Because the change is docs-only, the contract-surface risk is limited to accidentally exfiltrating PR-body or spec-body content that contains secrets or internal URLs. Redact if found.

9. Autofix pass

In standalone mode only: invoke .agents/skills/om-auto-review-pr/SKILL.md against the docs PR in autofix mode. Apply fixes as new commits. Never rewrite history.

10. Summary comment

Post the comprehensive summary comment required by .agents/skills/om-auto-create-pr/SKILL.md step 12. In the "What can go wrong" section, be explicit about limits:

  • Classification is heuristic. Paranoid findings can be false positives; a human reviewer must confirm.
  • Apply-elsewhere and Next-steps candidates are suggestions. They are not verified vulnerabilities.
  • When the target was a spec, findings reflect spec intent only; real behavior depends on implementation.

11. Release lock and cleanup

When the target was a PR, release the in-progress label and post the completion comment (follow om-auto-review-pr step 11 verbatim). Always do this in a trap/finally even on failure.

cd "$REPO_ROOT"
if [ "$CREATED_WORKTREE" = "1" ]; then
  git worktree remove --force "$WORKTREE_DIR"
fi
git worktree prune

12. Resumability

If the run cannot finish in a single invocation:

  • In standalone mode: leave Status: in-progress in the docs PR body and post the verbatim hand-off comment 🤖 auto-sec-report-pr is not complete. Resume with /auto-continue-pr {prNumber}.
  • In sub-unit mode: write the partial fragment to --out-fragment and exit with a non-zero status + a one-line stderr message that the driver (om-auto-sec-report) can catch.

Rules

  • Always run the claim/lock protocol when the target is a PR.
  • Always run in an isolated worktree. Reuse the current linked worktree when already inside one. Never nest worktrees.
  • Always load the bundled references/deep-attack-vectors.md and exercise every applicable category. Record each vector's outcome even when it was a no-op.
  • Every Finding MUST cite a real file path or spec section.
  • Every Apply-elsewhere candidate MUST be confirmed by Grep.
  • Every Next-step MUST be executable as another run of this skill (or a clearly-scoped audit a human can pick up).
  • Mark exactly one Next-step as [recommended] so a driver can auto-queue it.
  • Never paste raw diffs, secrets, tokens, .env content, credentials, internal hostnames, or user PII into the report. Redact to {REDACTED}.
  • Reuse om-code-review, om-auto-review-pr, om-spec-writing, and om-pre-implement-spec patterns and checklists. Do not duplicate their rules — reference them.
  • Never merge any PR created by this skill. Labels: review, documentation, security, skip-qa. Never needs-qa.
  • Always apply one priority label: priority-medium by default, raised to priority-high/priority-extreme when the report documents an exploitable or live security weakness.
  • Always apply risk-low: this PR ships only a Markdown report, so merging it carries no regression risk regardless of the documented finding's severity.
  • Sub-unit mode (--out-fragment) never opens a PR, never applies labels, and never runs autofix. The driver owns PR delivery.
