Core Capabilities

1. Security Scanner

Scan source code for security vulnerabilities including hardcoded secrets, SQL injection, XSS, command injection, and path traversal.

CODEBLOCK0

Detects:

• - Hardcoded secrets (API keys, passwords, AWS credentials, GitHub tokens, private keys)
• SQL injection patterns (string concatenation, f-strings, template literals)
• XSS vulnerabilities (innerHTML assignment, unsafe DOM manipulation, React unsafe patterns)
• Command injection (shell=True, exec, eval with user input)
• Path traversal (file operations with user input)

2. Vulnerability Assessor

Scan dependencies for known CVEs across npm, Python, and Go ecosystems.

CODEBLOCK1

Scans:

• - package.json and package-lock.json (npm)
• INLINECODE2 and pyproject.toml (Python)
• INLINECODE4 (Go)

Output:

• - CVE IDs with CVSS scores
• Affected package versions
• Fixed versions for remediation
• Overall risk score (0-100)

3. Compliance Checker

Verify security compliance against SOC 2, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and GDPR frameworks.

CODEBLOCK2

Verifies:

• - Access control implementation
• Encryption at rest and in transit
• Audit logging
• Authentication strength (MFA, password hashing)
• Security documentation
• CI/CD security controls

Workflows

Workflow 1: Security Audit

Complete security assessment of a codebase.

CODEBLOCK3

CODEBLOCK4

CODEBLOCK5

CODEBLOCK6

Workflow 2: CI/CD Security Gate

Integrate security checks into deployment pipeline.

CODEBLOCK7

Each step fails the pipeline on its respective exit code — no deployment proceeds past a critical finding.

Workflow 3: CVE Triage

Respond to a new CVE affecting your application.

CODEBLOCK8

Workflow 4: Incident Response

Security incident handling procedure.

CODEBLOCK9

Tool Reference

security_scanner.py

Exit Codes: 0 = no critical/high findings · 1 = high severity findings · 2 = critical severity findings

vulnerability_assessor.py

Exit Codes: 0 = no critical/high vulnerabilities · 1 = high severity vulnerabilities · 2 = critical severity vulnerabilities

compliance_checker.py

Exit Codes: 0 = compliant (90%+ score) · 1 = non-compliant (50-69% score) · 2 = critical gaps (<50% score)

Security Standards

See references/security_standards.md for OWASP Top 10 full guidance, secure coding standards, authentication requirements, and API security controls.

Secure Coding Checklist

CODEBLOCK10

Compliance Frameworks

See references/compliance_requirements.md for full control mappings. Run compliance_checker.py to verify the controls below:

SOC 2 Type II

• - CC6 Logical Access: authentication, authorization, MFA
• CC7 System Operations: monitoring, logging, incident response
• CC8 Change Management: CI/CD, code review, deployment controls

PCI-DSS v4.0

• - Req 3/4: Encryption at rest and in transit (TLS 1.2+)
• Req 6: Secure development (input validation, secure coding)
• Req 8: Strong authentication (MFA, password policy)
• Req 10/11: Audit logging, SAST/DAST/penetration testing

HIPAA Security Rule

• - Unique user IDs and audit trails for PHI access (164.312(a)(1), 164.312(b))
• MFA for person/entity authentication (164.312(d))
• Transmission encryption via TLS (164.312(e)(1))

GDPR

• - Art 25/32: Privacy by design, encryption, pseudonymization
• Art 33: Breach notification within 72 hours
• Art 17/20: Right to erasure and data portability
