owasp-top10-2025-cwe-reviewer

Review real software repositories for likely security issues using the local OWASP Top 10:2025 category set, official OWASP-mapped CWE lists, and canonical MITRE CWE records. Use when auditing source code, configuration, IaC, pipelines, dependencies, auth flows, crypto, logging, or error handling, and when the goal is evidence-based findings mapped to both CWE and OWASP 2025 with confidence levels and coverage gaps.

W007: Insecure credential handling detected in skill instructions

What this means

The skill handles credentials insecurely by requiring the agent to include secret values verbatim in its generated output. This exposes credentials in the agent’s context and conversation history, creating a risk of data exfiltration.

Why it was flagged

Insecure credential handling detected (high risk: 0.90). The skill explicitly requires citing "concrete repository evidence" with file:line excerpts and calls out "embedded secrets" as a detection target but gives no guidance to redact or avoid quoting secret values, which effectively encourages outputting secrets verbatim when present.

Medium

W012: Unverifiable external dependency detected (runtime URL that controls agent)

What this means

The skill fetches instructions or code from an external URL at runtime, and the fetched content directly controls the agent’s prompts or executes code. This dynamic dependency allows the external source to modify the agent’s behavior without any changes to the skill itself.

Why it was flagged

Potentially malicious external URL detected (high risk: 0.80). The builder workflow (scripts/build_knowledge_pack.py) fetches live OWASP pages (e.g. https://owasp.org/Top10/2025/) and the MITRE CWE XML feed (https://cwe.mitre.org/data/xml/cwec_latest.xml.zip) when refreshing the local knowledge pack, and that fetched content is normalized into the knowledge pack which directly controls the skill's prompts/ mappings at runtime.
