Use when you need a repeatable workflow to discover and document likely application security vulnerabilities with evidence and standard mapping.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Vulnerability Discovery Skill

## When to use

Use for initial discovery and triage preparation.

## Inputs

- Target scope (files or folders)
- Maximum findings to return
- Optional focus areas (prompt injection, XSS, authz, config)

## Procedure

1. Scan for high-risk patterns in backend endpoints, request handling, and state mutation.
2. Scan frontend rendering paths for unsafe HTML handling and client-side trust assumptions.
3. Scan configuration and error paths for hardening gaps.
4. Build findings with severity, evidence, and control mapping.
5. Mark uncertain items as "Needs verification".

## Required output fields

- `id`
- `title`
- `severity`
- `evidence`
- `control_ids`
- `rationale`
- `status` (`confirmed` or `needs_verification`)

## Control mapping source

Use `docs/appsec-demo/appsec-baseline-standard.md` for control IDs.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add coveros/strategiesfortestingai/vulnerability-discovery@sha256:d4d2a84098f92ce2

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260424.a607dbd, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
