security-testingScans for security vulnerabilities including XSS, SQL injection, CSRF, and auth flaws using OWASP Top 10 methodology.
Security Testing is an agent skill from proffesor-for-testing/agentic-qe. Scans for security vulnerabilities including XSS, SQL injection, CSRF, and auth flaws using OWASP Top 10 methodology. Use when conducting SAST/DAST scans, auditing authentication flows, testing authorization rules, or implementing security test automation.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 13 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `config.json`, `evals/security-testing.yaml` and `references/compliance-agent-commands.md`).
It sits in Security, covering Web application vulnerabilities. The repository describes itself as: Agentic QE Fleet is an open-source AI-powered QA/QE platform designed for use with Coding Agents (works best with Claude Code) featuring specialized agents and skills to support… The licence is MIT.
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 829d030. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
Ships 1 file in scripts/, which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
npmnodeFrom the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Security Testing loads about 2.7k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 68 tokens; SKILL.md has 604 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
const endpoints = ['/debug', '/.env', '/.git', '/admin'];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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Think like an attacker: What would you try to break? Test that. Build like a defender: Assume input is malicious until proven otherwise. Test continuously: Security testing is ongoing, not one-time.
With Agents: Agents automate vulnerability scanning, track remediation, and validate fixes. Use agents to maintain security posture at scale.
After each security scan, append results to run-history.json in this skill directory:

const fs = require('fs');

"Read run-history.json before each scan — track finding count by severity over time. Alert if critical findings increase.

Scans for security vulnerabilities including XSS, SQL injection, CSRF, and auth flaws using OWASP Top 10 methodology. Security Testing is an agent skill from proffesor-for-testing/agentic-qe. Scans for security vulnerabilities including XSS, SQL injection, CSRF, and auth flaws using OWASP Top 10 methodology.
Security Testing fits situations like: conducting SAST/DAST scans; auditing authentication flows; testing authorization rules; implementing security test automation.
Run `npx skills add proffesor-for-testing/agentic-qe --skill security-testing -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (assets/skills/security-testing in proffesor-for-testing/agentic-qe) into .claude/skills/security-testing in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add proffesor-for-testing/agentic-qe --skill security-testing -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (assets/skills/security-testing in proffesor-for-testing/agentic-qe) into .agents/skills/security-testing in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add proffesor-for-testing/agentic-qe --skill security-testing -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/security-testing, .gemini/skills/security-testing, .github/skills/security-testing and .opencode/skills/security-testing in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Security Testing needs the command-line tools its instructions call (npm and node). Our summary lists: Docker.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use npm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (mentions a .env file), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
Security Testing is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 2.7k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 11k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 1.6k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Security Testing: Security And Hardening (penpot/penpot, 61k stars), Security Auditor (eigent-ai/eigent, 15k stars), Security Review (jewbetcha/opentrace, 116 stars) and Strix Code Vulnerability Scan (usestrix/strix, 67k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
