What it does

Quarkus Security is an agent skill from affaan-m/ECC. Quarkus security implementation patterns: JWT and OIDC authentication, @RolesAllowed RBAC and SecurityIdentity checks, Bean Validation and custom validators, parameterized Panache queries, BCrypt password hashing, CORS and security headers, rate limiting, audit logging, Vault or environment-variable secrets, and dependency CVE scanning. Use when adding authentication or authorization, validating input, managing secrets, or hardening a Quarkus application.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Authentication, Authorization and RBAC and Secrets management. The repository describes itself as: The agent harness performance optimization system. Skills, instincts, memory, security, and research-first development for Claude Code, Codex, Opencode, Cursor and beyond. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Adding authentication
  • Validating input
  • Managing secrets
  • Hardening a Quarkus application

Example prompts

  • “/quarkus-security”

Requirements

  • A credential in OIDC_SECRET
  • A credential in OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2d515e4. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • mvn

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • OIDC_SECRET
    • DB_PASSWORD
    • OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Quarkus Security loads about 3.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 119 tokens; SKILL.md has 227 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~119
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Quarkus Security Review

Best practices for securing Quarkus applications with authentication, authorization, and input validation.

When to Activate

  • Adding authentication (JWT, OIDC, Basic Auth)
  • Implementing authorization with @RolesAllowed or SecurityIdentity
  • Validating user input (Bean Validation, custom validators)
  • Configuring CORS or security headers
  • Managing secrets (Vault, environment variables, config sources)
  • Adding rate limiting or brute-force protection
  • Scanning dependencies for CVEs
  • Working with MicroProfile JWT or SmallRye JWT

Authentication

JWT Authentication
java
// Resource protected with JWT
@Path("/api/protected")
@Authenticated
public class ProtectedResource {

  @Inject
  JsonWebToken jwt;

  @Inject
  SecurityIdentity securityIdentity;

  @GET
  public Response getData() {
    String username = jwt.getName();
    Set<String> roles = jwt.getGroups();
    return Response.ok(Map.of(
        "username", username,
        "roles", roles,
        "principal", securityIdentity.getPrincipal().getName()
    )).build();
  }
}

Configuration (application.properties):

properties
mp.jwt.verify.publickey.location=publicKey.pem
mp.jwt.verify.issuer=https://auth.example.com

# OIDC
quarkus.oidc.auth-server-url=https://auth.example.com/realms/myrealm
quarkus.oidc.client-id=backend-service
quarkus.oidc.credentials.secret=${OIDC_SECRET}
Custom Authentication Filter
java
@Provider
@Priority(Priorities.AUTHENTICATION)
public class CustomAuthFilter implements ContainerRequestFilter {

  @Inject
  SecurityIdentity identity;

  @Override
  public void filter(ContainerRequestContext requestContext) {
    String authHeader = requestContext.getHeaderString(HttpHeaders.AUTHORIZATION);

    // Reject immediately if header is absent or malformed
    if (authHeader == null || !authHeader.startsWith("Bearer ")) {
      requestContext.abortWith(Response.status(Response.Status.UNAUTHORIZED).build());
      return;
    }

    String token = authHeader.substring(7);
    if (!validateToken(token)) {
      requestContext.abortWith(Response.status(Response.Status.UNAUTHORIZED).build());
    }
  }

  private boolean validateToken(String token) {
    // Token validation logic
    return true;
  }
}

Authorization

Role-Based Access Control
java
@Path("/api/admin")
@RolesAllowed("ADMIN")
public class AdminResource {

  @GET
  @Path("/users")
  public List<UserDto> listUsers() {
    return userService.findAll();
  }

  @DELETE
  @Path("/users/{id}")
  @RolesAllowed({"ADMIN", "SUPER_ADMIN"})
  public Response deleteUser(@PathParam("id") Long id) {
    userService.delete(id);
    return Response.noContent().build();
  }
}

@Path("/api/users")
public class UserResource {

  @Inject
  SecurityIdentity securityIdentity;

  @GET
  @Path("/{id}")
  @RolesAllowed("USER")
  public Response getUser(@PathParam("id") Long id) {
    // Check ownership
    if (!securityIdentity.hasRole("ADMIN") &&
        !isOwner(id, securityIdentity.getPrincipal().getName())) {
      return Response.status(Response.Status.FORBIDDEN).build();
    }
    return Response.ok(userService.findById(id)).build();
  }

  private boolean isOwner(Long userId, String username) {
    return userService.isOwner(userId, username);
  }
}
Programmatic Security
java
@ApplicationScoped
public class SecurityService {

  @Inject
  SecurityIdentity securityIdentity;

  public boolean canAccessResource(Long resourceId) {
    if (securityIdentity.isAnonymous()) {
      return false;
    }

    if (securityIdentity.hasRole("ADMIN")) {
      return true;
    }

    String userId = securityIdentity.getPrincipal().getName();
    return resourceRepository.isOwner(resourceId, userId);
  }
}

Input Validation

Bean Validation
java
// BAD: No validation
@POST
public Response createUser(UserDto dto) {
  return Response.ok(userService.create(dto)).build();
}

// GOOD: Validated DTO
public record CreateUserDto(
    @NotBlank @Size(max = 100) String name,
    @NotBlank @Email String email,
    @NotNull @Min(18) @Max(150) Integer age,
    @Pattern(regexp = "^\\+?[1-9]\\d{1,14}$") String phone
) {}

@POST
@Path("/users")
public Response createUser(@Valid CreateUserDto dto) {
  User user = userService.create(dto);
  return Response.status(Response.Status.CREATED).entity(user).build();
}
Custom Validators
java
@Target({ElementType.FIELD, ElementType.PARAMETER})
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@Constraint(validatedBy = UsernameValidator.class)
public @interface ValidUsername {
  String message() default "Invalid username format";
  Class<?>[] groups() default {};
  Class<? extends Payload>[] payload() default {};
}

public class UsernameValidator implements ConstraintValidator<ValidUsername, String> {
  @Override
  public boolean isValid(String value, ConstraintValidatorContext context) {
    if (value == null) return false;
    return value.matches("^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]{3,20}$");
  }
}

// Usage
public record CreateUserDto(
    @ValidUsername String username,
    @NotBlank @Email String email
) {}

SQL Injection Prevention

Panache Active Record (Safe by Default)
java
// GOOD: Parameterized queries with Panache
List<User> users = User.list("email = ?1 and active = ?2", email, true);

Optional<User> user = User.find("username", username).firstResultOptional();

// GOOD: Named parameters
List<User> users = User.list("email = :email and age > :minAge",
    Parameters.with("email", email).and("minAge", 18));
Native Queries (Use Parameters)
java
// BAD: String concatenation
@Query(value = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE name = '" + name + "'", nativeQuery = true)

// GOOD: Parameterized native query
@Entity
public class User extends PanacheEntity {
  public static List<User> findByEmailNative(String email) {
    return getEntityManager()
        .createNativeQuery("SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = :email", User.class)
        .setParameter("email", email)
        .getResultList();
  }
}

Password Hashing

java
@ApplicationScoped
public class PasswordService {

  public String hash(String plainPassword) {
    return BcryptUtil.bcryptHash(plainPassword);
  }

  public boolean verify(String plainPassword, String hashedPassword) {
    return BcryptUtil.matches(plainPassword, hashedPassword);
  }
}

// In service
@ApplicationScoped
public class UserService {
  @Inject
  PasswordService passwordService;

  @Transactional
  public User register(CreateUserDto dto) {
    String hashedPassword = passwordService.hash(dto.password());
    User user = new User();
    user.email = dto.email();
    user.password = hashedPassword;
    user.persist();
    return user;
  }

  public boolean authenticate(String email, String password) {
    return User.find("email", email)
        .firstResultOptional()
        .map(u -> passwordService.verify(password, u.password))
        .orElse(false);
  }
}

CORS Configuration

properties
# application.properties
quarkus.http.cors=true
quarkus.http.cors.origins=https://app.example.com,https://admin.example.com
quarkus.http.cors.methods=GET,POST,PUT,DELETE
quarkus.http.cors.headers=accept,authorization,content-type,x-requested-with
quarkus.http.cors.exposed-headers=Content-Disposition
quarkus.http.cors.access-control-max-age=24H
quarkus.http.cors.access-control-allow-credentials=true

Secrets Management

properties
# application.properties - NO SECRETS HERE

# Use environment variables
quarkus.datasource.username=${DB_USER}
quarkus.datasource.password=${DB_PASSWORD}
quarkus.oidc.credentials.secret=${OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET}

# Or use Vault
quarkus.vault.url=https://vault.example.com
quarkus.vault.authentication.kubernetes.role=my-role
HashiCorp Vault Integration
java
@ApplicationScoped
public class SecretService {

  @ConfigProperty(name = "api-key")
  String apiKey; // Fetched from Vault

  public String getSecret(String key) {
    return ConfigProvider.getConfig().getValue(key, String.class);
  }
}

Rate Limiting

Security Note: Never use X-Forwarded-For directly — clients can spoof it. Use the actual remote address from the servlet request, or an authenticated identity (API key, JWT subject) when available.

java
@ApplicationScoped
public class RateLimitFilter implements ContainerRequestFilter {
  private final Map<String, RateLimiter> limiters = new ConcurrentHashMap<>();

  @Inject
  HttpServletRequest servletRequest;

  @Override
  public void filter(ContainerRequestContext requestContext) {
    String clientId = getClientIdentifier();
    RateLimiter limiter = limiters.computeIfAbsent(clientId,
        k -> RateLimiter.create(100.0)); // 100 requests per second

    if (!limiter.tryAcquire()) {
      requestContext.abortWith(
          Response.status(429)
              .entity(Map.of("error", "Too many requests"))
              .build()
      );
    }
  }

  private String getClientIdentifier() {
    // Use the container-provided remote address (not X-Forwarded-For).
    // If behind a trusted proxy, configure quarkus.http.proxy.proxy-address-forwarding=true
    // so getRemoteAddr() returns the real client IP.
    return servletRequest.getRemoteAddr();
  }
}

Security Headers

java
@Provider
public class SecurityHeadersFilter implements ContainerResponseFilter {

  @Override
  public void filter(ContainerRequestContext request, ContainerResponseContext response) {
    MultivaluedMap<String, Object> headers = response.getHeaders();

    // Prevent clickjacking
    headers.putSingle("X-Frame-Options", "DENY");

    // XSS protection
    headers.putSingle("X-Content-Type-Options", "nosniff");
    headers.putSingle("X-XSS-Protection", "1; mode=block");

    // HSTS
    headers.putSingle("Strict-Transport-Security", "max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains");

    // CSP — avoid 'unsafe-inline' for script-src as it negates XSS protection;
    // use nonces or hashes instead. 'unsafe-inline' for style-src is acceptable
    // when CSS frameworks require it, but prefer nonces where possible.
    headers.putSingle("Content-Security-Policy",
        "default-src 'self'; script-src 'self'; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'");
  }
}

Audit Logging

java
@ApplicationScoped
public class AuditService {
  private static final Logger LOG = Logger.getLogger(AuditService.class);

  @Inject
  SecurityIdentity securityIdentity;

  public void logAccess(String resource, String action) {
    String user = securityIdentity.isAnonymous()
        ? "anonymous"
        : securityIdentity.getPrincipal().getName();

    LOG.infof("AUDIT: user=%s action=%s resource=%s timestamp=%s",
        user, action, resource, Instant.now());
  }
}

// Usage in resource
@Path("/api/sensitive")
public class SensitiveResource {
  @Inject
  AuditService auditService;

  @GET
  @RolesAllowed("ADMIN")
  public Response getData() {
    auditService.logAccess("sensitive-data", "READ");
    return Response.ok(data).build();
  }
}

Dependency Security Scanning

bash
# Maven
mvn org.owasp:dependency-check-maven:check

# Gradle
./gradlew dependencyCheckAnalyze

# Check Quarkus extensions
quarkus extension list --installable

Best Practices

  • Always use HTTPS in production
  • Enable JWT or OIDC for stateless authentication
  • Use @RolesAllowed for declarative authorization
  • Validate all input with Bean Validation
  • Hash passwords with BCrypt (never plaintext)
  • Store secrets in Vault or environment variables
  • Use parameterized queries to prevent SQL injection
  • Add security headers to all responses
  • Implement rate limiting for public endpoints
  • Audit sensitive operations
  • Keep dependencies updated and scan for CVEs
  • Use SecurityIdentity for programmatic checks
  • Set appropriate CORS policies
  • Test authentication and authorization paths
