SKILL.md

Config Scan

Security review of configuration files and infrastructure as code.

Quick Start

/config-scan # Scan all config files
/config-scan --docker # Docker files only
/config-scan --k8s # Kubernetes manifests
/config-scan --terraform # Terraform files
/config-scan --env # Environment files

What This Skill Detects

Environment Files
  • Secrets in .env files
  • Insecure default values
  • Missing required security variables
Docker Security
  • Running as root
  • Exposed sensitive ports
  • Insecure base images
  • Missing security options
Kubernetes Security
  • Privileged containers
  • Missing resource limits
  • Insecure service accounts
  • Network policy gaps
Infrastructure as Code
  • Overly permissive IAM policies
  • Public S3 buckets
  • Unencrypted storage
  • Missing security groups
Application Config
  • Debug mode enabled
  • Verbose error messages
  • Insecure defaults

Scan Categories

Environment Files

Files scanned: .env, .env.*, *.env

IssueSeverityDescription
Secrets in .envHIGHCredentials should use secrets manager
.env committedCRITICALShould be in .gitignore
DEBUG=trueHIGHDebug mode in production config
Weak secretsMEDIUMShort or simple values

Detection patterns:

# Committed .env files
git ls-files | grep -E '\.env$|\.env\.'
# Secrets in env files
(PASSWORD|SECRET|KEY|TOKEN|CREDENTIAL)=.+
# Debug flags
DEBUG=(true|1|yes)
NODE_ENV=development
Docker Security

Files scanned: Dockerfile, docker-compose.yml

IssueSeverityDescription
USER rootHIGHContainer runs as root
COPY secretsCRITICALSecrets copied into image

Detection patterns:

dockerfile
# Running as root (no USER directive)

# Copying secrets
COPY.*\.(pem|key|crt|env)
COPY.*secret
COPY.*password
# Unpinned images

Kubernetes Security

IssueSeverityDescription

IssueSeverityDescription

Application Config

Files scanned: config/*.json, *.config.js, application.yml

Output Format

CONFIG SCAN RESULTS
===================
Files scanned: 23
Issues found: 15
CRITICAL (2)
------------
[!] Dockerfile:1 - Running as root
No USER directive found
Fix: Add "USER node" or similar non-root user
[!] terraform/s3.tf:12 - Public S3 bucket
acl = "public-read"
Fix: Remove public ACL, use bucket policies
HIGH (5)
--------
[H] docker-compose.yml:15 - Privileged container
privileged: true
Fix: Remove privileged flag, use specific capabilities
[H] k8s/deployment.yaml:34 - Missing resource limits
No CPU/memory limits defined
Fix: Add resources.limits section
...
MEDIUM (8)

Configuration

Ignore Rules

Create .config-scan-ignore:

yaml
# Ignore specific files
files:
- "docker-compose.dev.yml"
- "terraform/modules/test/**"
# Ignore specific rules
rules:
- id: "docker-root-user"
files: ["Dockerfile.dev"]
reason: "Development only"
- id: "k8s-no-limits"
reason: "Handled by LimitRange"
Scan Profiles
yaml
# .config-scan.yaml
profile: production # or: development, strict
# Custom thresholds
thresholds:
fail_on: high
warn_on: medium
# Specific scanners
scanners:
docker: true
kubernetes: true
terraform: true
env_files: true
app_config: true
