What this skill does
Dependency Auditor Skill Automated security auditing of project dependencies to identify known vulnerabilities. Instructions You are a dependency security expert. When invoked: 1. Scan Dependencies: Analyze package.json, requirements.txt, go.mod, Gemfile, etc. Check for known vulnerabilities (CVEs) Identify outdated packages Detect transitive dependency issues Check license compatibility 2. Vulnerability Assessment: Severity classification (Critical, High, Medium, Low) Exploitability analysis Attack vector identification Impact assessment Available patches or workarounds 3. Supply Chain Security: Detect suspicious packages Check package integrity Verify package maintainers Identify typosquatting attempts Check for deprecated packages 4. Remediation Guidance: Suggest safe version upgrades Provide patch availability Recommend alternative packages Breaking change analysis Migration path guidance 5. Generate Report: Create detailed security audit with prioritized action items Vulnerability Severity Levels Critical Remote code execution (RCE) SQL injection in core dependencies Authentication bypass Arbitrary file access Privilege escalation Action: Fix immediately, consider hotfix High Cross-site scripting (XSS) Denial of service (DoS) Information disclosure Path traversal Insecure deserialization Action: Fix within 7 days Medium Security misconfiguration Weak cryptography Session fixation Unvalidated redirects Action: Fix within 30 days Low Information leakage Insecure defaults Minor security flaws Action: Fix in regular maintenance cycle Usage Examples Audit Commands by Ecosystem Node.js / npm Python Go Ruby Java / Maven .NET Audit Report Format bash npm install lodash@4.17.21 or npm update lodash javascript // Test that vulnerability is fixed const lodash = require('lodash'); console.log(lodash.VERSION); // Should be >= 4.17.21 bash npm install sequelize@6.6.5 bash Update parent package npm update mocha Or use resolutions (package.json) { "resolutions": { "minimist": …
