Checking that the SKILL.md file is still in the repository.
Matches code against Project CodeGuard's catalog of known-dangerous patterns — banned C functions, weak crypto primitives, hardcoded credentials, deprecated APIs. Use when grepping for low-hanging security fruit, when enforcing a ban-list in CI, or when the user asks to check for known-bad patterns.

Vulnerability Pattern Matcher
This skill delegates to Project CodeGuard for its pattern catalog. Where static-vulnerability-detector traces data flow, this skill does lexical/syntactic matching against CodeGuard's ban-lists — faster, higher recall, more false positives.
Upstream: <https://github.com/cosai-oasis/project-codeguard/tree/main/skills/software-security>
Dispatch
| Pattern class | CodeGuard rule | |
|---|---|---|
Banned C/C++ functions (strcpy, gets, sprintf, …) | codeguard-0-safe-c-functions | |
| Weak crypto (MD5, SHA-1, DES, ECB, static IV) | codeguard-1-crypto-algorithms, codeguard-0-additional-cryptography | |
| Hardcoded secrets (key prefixes, entropy, connection strings) | codeguard-1-hardcoded-credentials | |
| Certificate handling (PEM blocks, weak sigs) | codeguard-1-digital-certificates | |
| Deprecated OpenSSL/SSL APIs | codeguard-1-crypto-algorithms §"Deprecated SSL/Crypto APIs" |
Workflow
- grep/AST-match for the pattern classes above.
- For each hit, emit: file:line, matched pattern, the CodeGuard rule it violates, and that rule's prescribed replacement.
- Do not suppress matches based on context — that's
static-vulnerability-detector's job. This skill reports every hit; a human or a downstream flow triages.
