Fix security vulnerabilities found by a Strix pentest (open-source CLI or app.strix.ai cloud) — triage by severity, patch the root cause rather than the symptom, and re-run Strix to prove each fix actually closes the exploit. Handles injection, XSS, SSRF, broken access control, IDOR, and other validated findings. Use after a Strix scan reports findings, or when the user asks to remediate, patch, or fix security issues from a strix_runs report, vulnerabilities.json, findings.sarif, or a cloud…

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

# Fix Strix findings and verify

Turn validated Strix findings into minimal, correct fixes — and prove they work by re-scanning.

## 1. Triage

Get the findings from wherever the scan ran:

- **OSS CLI** — artifacts in `strix_runs/<run-name>/`:
  - `vulnerabilities/*.md` — one finding per file: description, severity, PoC steps or script, affected code locations, remediation guidance.
  - `vulnerabilities.json` — the same findings as JSON (ids, severity, CWE/CVE, `code_locations` with `fix_before`/`fix_after` suggestions when available).
- **Cloud (app.strix.ai)** — pull findings with the CLI: `strix cloud vulns list --scan-id <scan-id> --json` (or `strix cloud scans get <scan-id> --json | jq '.vulnerabilities'`, or `strix cloud vulns list --severity critical` org-wide). Each finding carries `severity, cwe, endpoint, method, impact, technical_analysis, poc_description, poc_script_code` and, for code findings, `code_file`/`code_diff`/`code_before`/`code_after`. After a fix is verified, mark it with `strix cloud vulns update <id> --status fixed`. See the **managed-pentesting-with-strix** skill for `strix cloud login` and scopes.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add usestrix/strix/fix-security-vulnerabilities-with-strix@sha256:bb1b351fd60c91e4

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260901.42baa7c, 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.
