Auth Audit

What it does

The auth-audit skill performs automated security audits of authentication and authorization configurations. It identifies potential vulnerabilities like weak password policies, exposed API keys, or misconfigured access controls. This helps ensure systems are protected against unauthorized access and data breaches by providing actionable remediation steps.

When to use it

• New Application Deployment: Audit the authentication setup before launching a new application to proactively identify and fix security flaws.
• Post-Security Incident Response: Quickly assess the impact of a potential breach by auditing authentication configurations for weaknesses.
• Regular Security Reviews: Integrate into routine security audits to maintain a strong security posture over time.
• Cloud Environment Assessment: Evaluate the security of identity and access management (IAM) roles and policies in cloud environments.

Key capabilities

• Automated vulnerability scanning
• Identification of weak password policies
• Detection of exposed API keys
• Misconfigured access control assessment
• Remediation recommendations

Example prompts

• "Audit the authentication configuration for my web application, focusing on password policy strength."
• "Scan our AWS IAM roles and permissions for overly permissive access."
• "Check for any exposed API keys in our codebase related to user authentication."

Tips & gotchas

The skill requires appropriate credentials with read-only access to the target environment (e.g., cloud platform, application code repository) to perform a complete audit. Ensure these permissions are granted before running the skill.
