Comprehensive security audit with real payload testing. 25+ XSS payloads (reflected, stored, DOM-based), SQL and NoSQL injection variants, CSRF token validation, authentication testing (session fixation, privilege escalation, brute force), security header analysis, and secrets scanning across code and client bundles.
Agentik {OS}'s 'Security Hunt' skill provides a comprehensive and proactive security audit for web applications, going beyond superficial scans to actively identify vulnerabilities before they can be exploited. This capability is crucial in today's threat landscape, where even minor security flaws can lead to significant data breaches, reputational damage, and regulatory penalties. The AI-powered agents meticulously perform active payload injection, including over 25 distinct XSS vectors (reflected, stored, and DOM-based) to unearth cross-site scripting vulnerabilities. They also execute sophisticated SQL and NoSQL injection techniques, encompassing union, blind, and time-based methods, to detect database manipulation risks. Furthermore, 'Security Hunt' includes robust CSRF validation, checking for proper token generation, SameSite cookie configurations, and effective form protection mechanisms. A critical component is the secrets scanning feature, where agents diligently search for hardcoded API keys, tokens, and passwords within source code and client-side bundles. Finally, a thorough header audit is conducted, analyzing critical security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, and Permissions-Policy to ensure best practices are enforced. This holistic approach ensures a deep-dive security assessment, providing businesses with actionable insights to fortify their applications and maintain user trust.

Use Cases
Real-world scenarios where this skill delivers measurable results.
Before deploying a new web application or major feature update, 'Security Hunt' can proactively identify critical vulnerabilities. This prevents costly post-launch patches and protects brand reputation from early security incidents.
Organizations needing to meet strict compliance standards (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS) can leverage 'Security Hunt' for continuous security posture assessment. It provides detailed reports demonstrating due diligence in protecting sensitive data.
When integrating with third-party APIs or services, 'Security Hunt' can evaluate their security robustness. This mitigates supply chain risks by ensuring that external dependencies don't introduce new vulnerabilities into your ecosystem.
Benefits
Key advantages of deploying this skill in your workflow.
Identifies vulnerabilities before attackers exploit them, minimizing the risk of data breaches and service disruptions.
Examines a wide array of attack vectors, offering a deeper and more thorough security assessment than basic scanners.
Reduces the need for expensive manual penetration testing and post-breach remediation efforts, saving significant operational costs.
Helps meet regulatory requirements by providing detailed evidence of security testing and vulnerability remediation efforts.
Workflow
From zero to production-ready in minutes.
Identify attack surface and authentication mechanisms.
Run XSS, injection, and CSRF payloads against all inputs.
Test session management, privilege escalation, and token security.
Fix vulnerabilities and verify with re-testing.
FAQ
Common questions about Security Hunt.
'Security Hunt' goes beyond passive scanning by actively injecting payloads and performing complex attack techniques, similar to a human penetration tester. This allows it to uncover vulnerabilities that static or dynamic application security testing (SAST/DAST) tools might miss, particularly those requiring specific interaction or state changes.
Yes, 'Security Hunt' is designed for seamless integration into your existing CI/CD pipelines. This enables automated security testing at various stages of development, providing immediate feedback on newly introduced vulnerabilities and shifting security left in your development process.
'Security Hunt' generates a detailed report outlining all identified vulnerabilities, their severity, and specific remediation steps. Each finding includes technical details, affected parameters, and often proof-of-concept examples, making the report highly actionable for development and security teams.
