Audit Source Code for Security Vulnerabilities
White-box source code security audit combining SAST scanning with mandatory manual reachability verification.
16.5.0Add to Favorites
Why it matters
Systematically review application source code to identify security defects, dangerous API usage, injection points, authentication gaps, and cryptographic misuse through static analysis and manual verification.
Outcomes
What it gets done
Run SAST tools like Semgrep, CodeQL, Bandit, or gosec to scan for common vulnerability patterns
Manually triage each finding to verify reachability, exploitability, and eliminate false positives
Identify authentication flaws including IDOR, privilege escalation, and multi-tenant isolation errors
Generate structured findings with code location, data flow, proof-of-concept, and remediation guidance

Overview
Source Code Security Audit
A white-box code security audit skill that pairs SAST scanning (Semgrep, CodeQL, Bandit, gosec) with mandatory manual verification of reachability and exploitability before reporting a finding. Use when reviewing a codebase's own logic for security defects, or confirming a vulnerability fix actually removes the flawed pattern rather than trusting scanner output alone.
What it does
The skill runs a white-box or PR-diff security audit of a codebase's own logic, distinct from supply-chain-security/ which covers dependencies and pipelines instead. It follows four steps. Scope and threat modeling identifies trust boundaries (user input, file handling, deserialization, SSRF, authentication middleware) and high-value assets (authentication, payment, admin surfaces, key handling). Automated scanning runs SAST tooling, quoted verbatim from the source:
semgrep --config auto .
semgrep --config p/owasp-top-ten .
or an equivalent project-specific rule pack. Manual verification is mandatory for every SAST hit, checking reachability, exploitability, and false-positive status; authentication findings for IDOR, privilege escalation, missing validation, or broken multi-tenant isolation; injection findings across SQL, command, template, and LDAP paths; and cryptography findings for hardcoded keys, ECB mode, or custom crypto implementations. Output is a finding with location, data flow, proof of concept, and a fix recommendation, optionally tagged with ATT&CK or CWE identifiers.
The toolchain maps to language: Semgrep for fast multi-language rules, CodeQL for deep data-flow analysis on GitHub, Bandit for Python, gosec/staticcheck for Go, and SpotBugs/FindSecBugs for Java. Downstream routing sends dependency vulnerabilities to supply-chain security and runtime verification to pentest tooling.
When to use - and when NOT to
Use it when reviewing a codebase for security defects with static analysis, or verifying that a vulnerability fix actually removes the flawed pattern. It is scoped to the authorized repository only, and requires manual verification rather than pasting raw scanner output as findings.
Inputs and outputs
Input is the target codebase or PR diff and the authorized repository scope. Output is a set of manually-verified findings, each with location, data flow, proof of concept, and remediation guidance, rather than an unfiltered SAST dump.
Who it's for
Security reviewers and developers auditing their own codebase's logic for injection, broken authentication, and crypto misuse, who need SAST tooling paired with disciplined manual triage rather than a raw scanner report.
