Test application security against OWASP Top 10 (2025) with automated CI tooling: OWASP ZAP (DAST), dependency/supply-chain scanning (OSV-Scanner, SBOM, provenance), Semgrep SAST, auth/session tests (JWT, OAuth, RBAC), and XSS/CSRF/SQLi/SSRF Playwright patterns. Use when: "security test," "OWASP," "vulnerability," "ZAP," "XSS," "SSRF," "dependency scan," "auth testing," "OWASP LLM Top 10." Scope is automated scanning + negative-path security tests in CI, not manual penetration testing. Not for: …

Install

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

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'security-testing' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'security-testing' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named security-testing already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/petrkindlmann/qa-skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '62434253c2592f27b494609c27f224939c86346d' -- 'skills/security-testing' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/security-testing' ~/.agents/skills/'security-testing' && 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/'security-testing' ~/.claude/skills/'security-testing' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
