Audit playbook module for API-specific security failures covering mass assignment, missing rate limits and pagination caps, GraphQL/gRPC misconfiguration, REST hygiene gaps, API key mishandling, and WebSocket/SSE access-control defects across all mainstream web frameworks.
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
## Scope & Objectives ### Objective Audit the HTTP-facing surface of the target repository for API-specific design and configuration failures that let a client exceed its intended authority: write fields the server never meant to expose, consume unbounded resources, enumerate internals through schema and documentation surfaces, skip transport or channel authentication, or ride privileged channels cross-origin. For every finding produce file:line evidence, a reproduction recipe (static-first), a severity with rationale, and a framework-correct fix. ### In Scope | Class | Typical finding | Primary CWE | |---|---|---| | Mass assignment / over-posting | Client sets `role`, `is_admin`, `price`, `user_id` through request-body binding to ORM entities | CWE-915 | | Rate limiting & anti-automation | Unthrottled auth/search/export endpoints, no pagination caps, no per-key quotas | CWE-770, CWE-799 | | GraphQL configuration | Prod introspection, exposed playground/GraphiQL, no depth/complexity limits, batching abuse, field-suggestion leakage | CWE-200, CWE-400 | …

How to install
mdr add as-foss/aegis-skills/aegis-api-security@sha256:731983967021bebeThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260826.9702747, 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.
