cybersec-helper

What This Skill Does

The cybersec-helper skill is a specialized agentic module designed to assist developers, security researchers, and bug bounty hunters in conducting thorough application security reviews. By grounding its logic in industry-standard frameworks like OWASP and CWE, the skill provides actionable, evidence-based guidance for identifying, classifying, and remediating vulnerabilities. It enforces an ethical framework, prioritizing scoped testing, local reproductions, and responsible disclosure over reckless or unauthorized probing. Whether you are performing recon, analyzing a codebase for architectural flaws, or drafting a vulnerability report, this skill acts as an expert consultant to ensure your security posture is robust and compliant with professional standards.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/mcpcentral/cybersec-helper

Use Cases

• Bug Bounty Workflow: Assisting in the discovery phase, proof-of-concept (PoC) development, and writing clear, professional bug bounty reports.
• Secure Code Review: Identifying potential injection flaws (SQLi, XSS), broken access control, or insecure cryptographic implementations during the development lifecycle.
• Infrastructure Audits: Reviewing configuration files and infrastructure-as-code to prevent common misconfigurations.
• Vulnerability Assessment: Analyzing known CVEs or CWEs to understand the potential business impact on a specific stack or framework.
• CTF Support: Providing structured approaches to problem-solving during Capture The Flag competitions without violating ethical boundaries.

Example Prompts

1. "I am performing a security review on a Node.js API using Express. Can you help me check if my JWT implementation follows current best practices against the OWASP Top 10?"
2. "I found a potential reflected XSS on a site I am testing under a bug bounty program. How should I structure a professional report referencing CWE-79 and potential business impact?"
3. "My scan shows a potential insecure direct object reference (IDOR). What questions should I ask to determine if this is actually exploitable in the production environment?"

Tips & Limitations

• Always Clarify Scope: Before acting, ensure the target is authorized. Never attempt to scan or probe systems for which you lack explicit written permission.
• Verify Sources: While the skill relies on authoritative sources like OWASP and NIST, always cross-reference specific exploit details against original vendor advisories.
• Focus on Reproducibility: Prioritize creating a local, isolated lab environment to test vulnerabilities rather than live production targets.
• Critical Thinking: The agent is an assistant, not a replacement for human judgment. Always perform final verification on suggested fixes or identified vulnerabilities.
