Addressed Issues:

No related issue — this adds tooling under .claude/skills/, agreed on separately with a maintainer.

Screenshots/Recordings:

Not applicable — this change only adds Claude Code skill definitions, no application behavior changes.

Additional Notes:

Adds two Claude Code skills, ported from the same change in ThruBox-Server:

  • security-review guides a security-focused code review, separates deliberate design tradeoffs into a Notes section instead of misfiling them as Findings or Limitations, and saves its report to unremediated-security-reviews/ (gitignored) instead of only printing it to chat.
  • security-remediation (new) reads that report, matches remediating commits via git log, confirms with the user, and — once every finding is remediated or explained — publishes both files to a tracked security-reviews/ folder.

Checklist

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added guided security reviews that identify and document vulnerabilities, assign severity, and produce structured reports.
    • Added a remediation workflow for confirming fixes or documenting unresolved findings. Reports remain unpublished until every finding is resolved or explained and publication is approved.
    • Security review and remediation reports are drafted in an excluded directory; completed reports can be published to the security reviews directory.
  • Chores
    • Updated checklist status information.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Feature

Suggested labels: Bash Lang

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to beba4

Existing security reports can be overwritten during creation or publication. Add collision safeguards before merging; application behavior is unchanged.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to beba4

The changes are limited to repository security-review workflows. Publication requires confirmed fixes or explicit explanations, but safe handling of selected Git references remains uncertain, and interrupted publication has no defined recovery procedure.

Retained concerns

  • Low · security · inferred: The new diff-review workflow does not specify the selected base ref's trust source or safe passage into shell commands. Command safety consequently depends on unavailable execution controls. This is an unresolved authority-boundary concern, not verified command injection.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The intended mutable scope is repository report storage, the ignore rule, and relocation of the selected report pair. If the deferred ref-to-shell path proved exploitable, its maximum exposure would depend on the executor's filesystem and credential privileges, which are unknown; repository-local instructions do not establish sandbox containment.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — No verified injection path is established. The deferred candidate concerns a selected base ref entering the git diff command template, but attacker control over that ref and unsafe shell construction remain unproven. The reviewed operation restrictions are counterevidence, not proof that the missing execution boundary is safe.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Remediation explicitly treats report text as untrusted command input, validates the reviewed commit hash, quotes arguments, and requires user confirmation for each resolution. Published commit links must omit embedded credentials, with bare hashes used when a safe HTTPS URL cannot be produced.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Report creation and paired publication have no specified locking, collision handling, transaction, or recovery protocol. Interrupted moves could leave the source report publication-eligible without its accompanying closeout report. Because publication follows the all-findings gate, this is a closeout-integrity and recovery limitation, not demonstrated publication of unaccepted findings.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Define trusted base-ref selection and argument-safe resolution before invoking Git, and document the execution permission and sandbox assumptions. This would make the currently deferred command boundary assessable.
  • proposed — Make report creation collision-safe and define resumable paired publication with destination checks and recovery for interrupted moves. Preserve the existing user-confirmation gate during retries.

A rabbit checks the findings page,
Then hops through commits, stage by stage.
It asks which fixes are confirmed,
And notes where open issues turn.
Two reports rest, kept out of sight.

Ports the same fix applied on the ThruBox-Server and Chainvoice sibling
PRs, so the skill definitions stay identical across repos:

- security-review: use an explicit base ref (three-dot diff) instead of
  bare `git diff` so committed PR changes aren't missed, resolve the repo
  root before writing the report/gitignore, include a commit-hash suffix
  in the report filename to avoid same-second collisions, stop describing
  .gitignore exclusion as "private", and add markdown language tags to
  the report-format code fences (MD040)
- security-remediation: add AskUserQuestion to allowed-tools (Step 4
  requires it), validate/quote report-derived git arguments, widen commit
  search beyond the finding's file, strip URL userinfo from commit links,
  and use the report path actually selected in Step 1 when publishing

Bruno (Zahnentferner) noted on the ThruBox-Server sibling PR that keeping
these under .claude/ ties them to Claude Code's own skill-discovery path,
even though the skills are written to be agent-agnostic. Moving them to
a top-level skills/ folder lets any coding agent find and use them the
same way. Mirrors the same change merged there.

- Around line 171-172: Update the report publication flow around the git status
and git mv/plain mv selection to check both destination paths before writing or
moving either report; if either destination already exists, stop publication and
ask the user to resolve the collision rather than overwriting it.

Review comments at @skills/security-review/SKILL.md:
- Around line 671-674: Update the report-writing flow for the sec_review
timestamp-and-commit filename to avoid collisions when reviews share both
values: create the output path exclusively, and if it already exists, append a
unique per-run suffix and retry without overwriting an existing report.

Mirrors the same follow-up fix applied on the ThruBox-Server sibling PR:

- security-remediation Step 6: always draft the remediations file in
  unremediated-security-reviews/ rather than beside an arbitrary source
  report (a tracked location could commit unresolved-finding details
  before anyone agreed to publish them); require explicit user approval
  before actually publishing; skip the move when the source report is
  already in security-reviews/; stop and ask instead of letting `mv`
  silently overwrite a destination collision
- security-remediation Step 5: also reject commit-link URLs that still
  carry a query string or fragment after stripping userinfo, since either
  can carry a credential too
- security-review: make the report filename collision check real (append
  _2, _3, ... instead of just lowering the odds with a hash suffix), and
  broaden the DoS exclusion so it doesn't accidentally swallow the Go
  checklist's own "report severe goroutine-exhaustion" carve-out
- .gitignore: describe the ignored folder as "excluded from Git," not
  "private" (an exclusion isn't an access control)

Mirrors the same fix applied on the ThruBox-Server sibling PR:

- security-remediation Step 6: handle an already-published source report
  correctly in BOTH outcomes, not just the approval path — on decline,
  leave it in security-reviews/ untouched rather than claiming it's under
  unremediated-security-reviews/; on approval, check the remediation
  file's destination for a collision before writing it there directly
- security-review: break the circular "see Step 5" / "see the Go
  checklist" cross-reference for DoS severity by stating a concrete
  impact criterion once, in the General exclusions, and having the Go
  checklist point to that single definition

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The description field's unquoted value contained "general classes: ..."
— a bare colon+space mid-sentence, which GitHub's YAML frontmatter
preview (and any strict YAML parser) reads as the start of a new mapping
key, producing "mapping values are not allowed in this context." Rephrase
to avoid the colon; no functional change to the skill.
