Scanning For Vulnerabilities
This skill empowers Claude to automatically scan your codebase for security vulnerabilities. It leverages the vulnerability-scanner plugin to identify potential risks, including code-level flaws, vulnerable dependencies, and insecure configurations.
Install
/plugin marketplace add jeremylongshore/claude-code-plugins-plus-skills
/plugin install vulnerability-scanner@claude-code-plugins-plusRun these inside Claude Code. The skill comes with its plugin.
What this skill does
This skill enables comprehensive vulnerability scanning using the vulnerability-scanner plugin. It identifies security vulnerabilities in code, dependencies, and configurations, including CVE detection. Use this skill when the user asks to scan for vulnerabilities, security issues, or CVEs in their project. Trigger phrases include "scan for vulnerabilities", "find security issues", "check for CVEs", "/scan", or "/vuln". The plugin performs static analysis, dependency checking, and configuration analysis to provide a detailed vulnerability report.

Claude loads this skill automatically when you say things like:
How it works
- Perform Analysis: The plugin scans the codebase, dependencies, and configurations for vulnerabilities, including CVE detection.
- Generate Report: The plugin creates a detailed vulnerability report with findings, severity levels, and remediation guidance.
When to use it
- Identify security vulnerabilities in your code.
- Check your project's dependencies for known CVEs.
- Review your project's configurations for security weaknesses.
Best practices
- Prioritize Remediation: Focus on addressing critical and high-severity vulnerabilities first.
- Validate Fixes: After applying fixes, run another scan to ensure the vulnerabilities are resolved.

Scanning For Xss Vulnerabilities
jeremylongshore/claude-code-plugins-plus-skills
This skill enables Claude to automatically scan for XSS (Cross-Site Scripting) vulnerabilities in code. It is triggered when the user requests to "scan for XSS vulnerabilities", "check for XSS", or uses the command "/xss". The skill identifies reflected, stored, and DOM-based XSS vulnerabilities. It analyzes HTML, JavaScript, CSS, and URL contexts to detect potential exploits and suggests safe proof-of-concept payloads. This skill is best used during code review, security audits, and before deploying web applications to production.
Scanning For Secrets
jeremylongshore/claude-code-plugins-plus-skills
This skill helps you scan your codebase for exposed secrets and credentials. It uses pattern matching and entropy analysis to identify potential security vulnerabilities such as API keys, passwords, and private keys. Use this skill when you want to proactively identify and remediate exposed secrets before they are committed to version control or deployed to production. It is triggered by phrases like "scan for secrets", "check for exposed credentials", "find API keys", or "run secret scanner".
Scanning Input Validation Practices
jeremylongshore/claude-code-plugins-plus-skills
This skill enables Claude to automatically scan source code for potential input validation vulnerabilities. It identifies areas where user-supplied data is not properly sanitized or validated before being used in operations, which could lead to security exploits like SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), or command injection. Use this skill when the user asks to "scan for input validation issues", "check input sanitization", "find potential XSS vulnerabilities", or similar requests related to securing user input. It is particularly useful during code reviews, security audits, and when har
