95 / 100 · Low risk

Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a security skill usually runs scanners and checks websites.

Tests APIs for excessive data exposure (OWASP API3:2023) by intercepting raw API responses and comparing them against what the UI actually renders, looking for leaked PII, internal identifiers, debug data, or business-sensitive fields the frontend filters but the API still transmits. Use when auditing REST or mobile-app APIs for over-fetching, response filtering bypass, or unintended data leakage in endpoint responses.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'exploiting-excessive-data-exposure-in-api' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'exploiting-excessive-data-exposure-in-api' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named exploiting-excessive-data-exposure-in-api already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '54a798831d2266a3ca61ce68a7acb80b81160d57' -- 'skills/exploiting-excessive-data-exposure-in-api' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/exploiting-excessive-data-exposure-in-api' ~/.agents/skills/'exploiting-excessive-data-exposure-in-api' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'exploiting-excessive-data-exposure-in-api' ~/.claude/skills/'exploiting-excessive-data-exposure-in-api' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
