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…
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
<objective> A login test that only checks the happy path passes while an expired JWT still grants admin, an IDOR lets user A read user B's orders, and a webhook field reaches `169.254.169.254`. This skill forces the negative-path checks — broken access control, injection, SSRF, auth bypass, supply-chain drift — into CI on every PR, layered across DAST, SCA, SAST, and custom Playwright tests so no single tool's blind spot ships. It produces runnable tests mapped to the OWASP Top 10 (2025) plus the CI gates that fail the build when a category regresses. </objective> ## Discovery Questions Check `.agents/qa-project-context.md` first — if it exists, use it and skip anything already answered there (auth mechanism, compliance requirements, infrastructure). Then: 1. **Threat model:** Has the team identified key assets, threat actors, and attack surfaces? If not, do a lightweight threat model before writing tests — it tells you which categories matter most. 2. **Auth mechanism:** Session cookies, JWT, OAuth 2.0/OIDC, API keys, or MFA? Each has distinct negative-path tests (alg confusion, session fixation, state tampering). …

How to install
mdr add petrkindlmann/qa-skills/security-testing@sha256:b02b6050d6c41987The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.1, 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.
