finding-security-misconfigurations

Configure identify security misconfigurations in infrastructure-as-code, application settings, and system configurations. Use when you need to audit Terraform/CloudFormation templates, check application config files, validate system security settings, or ensure compliance with security best practices. Trigger with phrases like "find security misconfigurations", "audit infrastructure security", "check config security", or "scan for misconfigured settings". allowed-tools: Read, Write, Edit, Grep, Glob, Bash(config-scan:*), Bash(iac-check:*) version: 1.0.0 author: Jeremy Longshore <jeremy@intentsolutions.io> license: MIT

Instructions

# Finding Security Misconfigurations ## Overview This skill provides automated assistance for the described functionality. ## Prerequisites Before using this skill, ensure: - Configuration files accessible in {baseDir}/ (Terraform, CloudFormation, YAML, JSON) - Infrastructure-as-code files (.tf, .yaml, .json, .template) - Application configuration files (application.yml, config.json, .env.example) - System configuration exports available - Write permissions for findings report in {baseDir}/security-findings/ ## Instructions 1. Identify the target system/service and gather current configuration. 2. Compare settings against baseline hardening guidance. 3. Flag risky defaults, drift, and missing controls with severity. 4. Provide a minimal-change remediation plan and verification steps. See `{baseDir}/references/implementation.md` for detailed implementation guide. ## Output The skill produces: **Primary Output**: Security misconfigurations report saved to {baseDir}/security-findings/misconfig-YYYYMMDD.md **Report Structure**: ``` # Security Misconfiguration Findings ## Error Handling See `{baseDir}/references/errors.md` for comprehensive error handling. ## Examples See `{baseDir}/references/examples.md` for detailed examples. ## Resources - CIS Benchmarks: https://www.cisecurity.org/cis-benchmarks/ - OWASP Configuration Guide: https://cheatsheetseries.owasp.org/cheatsheets/Infrastructure_as_Code_Security_Cheatsheet.html - Cloud Security Alliance: https://cloudsecurityalliance.org/ - tfsec (Terraform): https://github.com/aquasecurity/tfsec - Checkov (Multi-cloud): https://www.checkov.io/
