```

### **Security Boundaries**
- **API Layer**: Input validation, rate limiting, CORS
- **Authentication**: Token-based auth, session management
- **Authorization**: Role-based access control (RBAC)
- **Agent Communication**: Encrypted inter-agent messaging
- **Data Protection**: Encryption at rest, secure key management

## Secure Patterns Catalog

### **Input Validation**
```typescript
// Zod-based validation
const TaskInputSchema = z.object({
  taskId: z.string().uuid(),
  content: z.string().max(10000),
  agentType: z.enum(['security', 'core', 'integration'])
});
```

### **Path Sanitization**
```typescript
// Secure path handling
function securePath(userPath: string, allowedPrefix: string): string {
  const resolved = path.resolve(allowedPrefix, userPath);
  if (!resolved.startsWith(path.resolve(allowedPrefix))) {
    throw new SecurityError('Path traversal detected');
  }
  return resolved;
}
```

### **Command Execution**
```typescript
// Safe command execution
import { execFile } from 'child_process';

// āŒ Dangerous: shell injection possible
// exec(`git ${userInput}`, { shell: true });

// āœ… Safe: no shell interpretation
execFile('git', [userInput], { shell: false });
```

Overview

This skill is the V3 Security Architect agent for conducting a complete security overhaul, threat modeling, and CVE remediation planning. It targets critical findings (dependencies, hashing, credentials, command injection, and path traversal) and codifies secure-by-default patterns for the codebase. Use it to drive a Phase 1 security program with measurable deliverables and timelines.

How this skill works

The agent inspects dependency versions, authentication code paths, command execution calls, and file-handling modules to identify and prioritize fixes. It generates remediation plans, secure patterns (input validation, path sanitization, safe exec), and deliverables such as threat models and remediation timelines. It coordinates handoffs to implementer and tester agents and produces validation criteria and success metrics.

When to use it

  • Before a public release to remediate critical CVEs and hardening gaps
  • When replacing unsafe command execution or file I/O patterns
  • During architecture phases to design secure-by-default systems
  • To generate threat models, remediation timelines, and compliance artefacts
  • When you need prioritized, testable fixes for high-risk findings

Best practices

  • Replace shell:true spawn calls with execFile to avoid command injection
  • Migrate weak hashing (SHA-256 + static salt) to bcrypt with recommended rounds
  • Update vulnerable dependencies to pinned secure versions and rerun audits
  • Enforce path.resolve() plus allowed-prefix checks to prevent traversal
  • Use schema validation (e.g., Zod) at API boundaries and document patterns

Example use cases

  • Remediate CVE-1 by updating @anthropic-ai/claude-code to a secure release and validating npm audit results
  • Refactor auth service to remove hardcoded defaults and implement random credential generation at install
  • Replace all shell-based spawn() calls across modules with execFile variants and unit tests
  • Add path sanitization wrappers around file operations and create regression tests for traversal attempts
  • Produce SECURITY-ARCHITECTURE.md, CVE-REMEDIATION-PLAN.md, and SECURE-PATTERNS.md as Phase 1 deliverables

FAQ

What are the immediate priorities to hit Phase 1 goals?

Address dependency updates, implement bcrypt for password hashing, remove hardcoded credentials, and eliminate shell:true usages; then document and test each fix.

How do I validate that path traversal fixes are effective?

Use path.resolve() with an allowed-prefix check and add unit and fuzz tests that attempt traversal vectors to confirm rejection.
