evandrodevbr c17192c9fe feat: vendorizar as 10 skills do pilar de seguranca em skills/
Copia local (nao fork, nao submodule) de safedeps, sca-audit,
secrets-scan, code-review-security, api-security-review,
web-security-review, cve-triage, patch-prioritization,
dependency-scanning e hermaguard -- commit exato de origem e licenca
de cada uma em skills/NOTICE.md. Elimina o passo de clone externo
pro pilar de seguranca do wf-security-review: git clone deste repo
ja traz tudo funcional.

Corrige tambem o comando de instalacao pro Claude Code nos dois
READMEs e no docs/SKILLS.md: Claude Code exige um diretorio por
skill (skills/<nome>/SKILL.md), nao aceita os .md soltos que o
comando antigo copiava -- confirmado testando a instalacao real.

api-security-review Comprehensive API security review against OWASP API Security Top 10 (2023). Use when reviewing OpenAPI/Swagger specs, auditing REST/GraphQL/gRPC implementations, testing authentication mechanisms, or checking API gateway configurations. Covers BOLA/IDOR, broken auth, mass assignment, rate limiting, SSRF, and more with real-world attack scenarios. CC-BY-4.0

API Security Review

Perform comprehensive API security assessment following plays/api-security-review.md.

Steps

  1. Discovery & Reconnaissance

    • Parse OpenAPI/Swagger specs or scan code for endpoints
    • Identify authentication mechanisms (JWT, OAuth 2.0, API keys, mTLS)
    • Map API gateway and middleware configurations
    • Enumerate all API versions and deprecated endpoints
  2. Authentication Deep Dive

    • JWT security (algorithm confusion, weak signing, token expiration)
    • OAuth 2.0 flows (PKCE, state parameter, redirect URI validation)
    • API key exposure and rotation policies
    • Session management and token storage
  3. Assess All 10 OWASP API Risks with attack scenarios:

    • API1 BOLA — IDOR via predictable IDs, batch endpoint bypasses, ownership verification gaps
    • API2 Broken Authentication — JWT attacks, OAuth flaws, brute force, credential stuffing
    • API3 BOPA — Mass assignment, response over-exposure, field-level authz bypasses
    • API4 Resource Consumption — Rate limit bypasses, pagination abuse, GraphQL DoS
    • API5 BFLA — Admin endpoint discovery, horizontal/vertical privilege escalation
    • API6 Business Flows — Automated abuse, inventory exhaustion, scraping attacks
    • API7 SSRF — URL bypasses, DNS rebinding, cloud metadata access
    • API8 Misconfiguration — CORS bypasses, verbose errors, missing headers
    • API9 Inventory — Shadow APIs, zombie endpoints, version confusion
    • API10 Unsafe Consumption — XXE, deserialization, webhook replay attacks
  4. Automated Testing

    • Run API security scanners (OWASP ZAP, Burp Suite, Postman tests)
    • Test for common vulnerabilities with specific payloads
    • Validate rate limiting and throttling mechanisms
  5. API Gateway & Infrastructure Review

    • Kong, nginx, Envoy, AWS API Gateway configurations
    • WAF rules and bypass opportunities
    • TLS configuration and certificate validation

Output

Comprehensive API security report including:

  • API surface inventory with authentication mechanisms
  • Risk matrix with severity ratings for all 10 categories
  • Detailed findings with proof-of-concept examples
  • Exploit scenarios and business impact analysis
  • Prioritized remediation roadmap with code examples
  • Testing artifacts and vulnerability evidence
