performing-security-testing

Overview

This skill enables Claude to automatically perform security vulnerability testing on applications and APIs. It leverages the security-test-scanner plugin to identify potential weaknesses and generate comprehensive reports.

How It Works

1. Initiate Scan: The plugin is activated when security testing is requested.
2. Execute Tests: The plugin automatically runs a suite of security tests covering OWASP Top 10, injection flaws, XSS, CSRF, and authentication/authorization issues.
3. Generate Report: The plugin compiles the test results into a detailed report, highlighting vulnerabilities, severity ratings, and remediation steps.

When to Use This Skill

This skill activates when you need to:

• Perform a security vulnerability scan of an application.
• Test for OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities.
• Identify SQL injection or XSS vulnerabilities.
• Assess authentication and authorization security.
