Forge Security Review

Forge Security Review

Runs a Forge-focused white-box security review and reports validated findings with exploitability, impact, evidence, and remediation guidance.

Token-Efficient Default

Use manifest-driven routing by default to reduce token usage. Do not load every rule file up front.

Rule Assets

The review rules are packaged with this skill under assets/security-rules/:

• Global baseline: assets/security-rules/_global-forge.mdc
• Category indexes: assets/security-rules/forge-*/_index-*.mdc
• Category deep checks: assets/security-rules/forge-*/*.mdc

Execution Mandate

When this skill is triggered:

• Run static analysis first from this skill directory:
• scripts/run_static_analysis.sh <forge-project-root-directory>
• use .ps1 script for windows
• Read manifest.yml first before any deep code review.
• Load assets/security-rules/_global-forge.mdc first.
• Load only relevant category index rules based on manifest and code signals.
• Load deep subrules only when the matching detection heuristics are triggered by real code patterns.
• Perform an evidence-based security review across:
• AuthN/AuthZ
• Injection and input validation
• Tenant isolation and cross-tenant leakage
• Secrets and storage
• Egress/remotes/CSP and manifest permissions
• Public entry points (web triggers)
• Agent and miscellaneous Forge security risks
• Do not modify app code unless the user explicitly requests fixes.
• Write all scan outputs and generated artifacts to security-audit-artifacts/.

Rule Routing Workflow

Phase 1: Reconnaissance (Mandatory)

Read manifest.yml first and extract:

• permissions.scopes
• permissions.external.fetch
• permissions.content.scripts
• modules (resolver/webtrigger/scheduledTrigger/rovo/etc.)
• remotes
• app.runtime.name

Build an execution map:

• UI modules -> bridge calls -> resolvers/functions
• External entry points (web triggers, events, schedules)
• api.asUser() vs api.asApp() paths
• Outbound fetch destinations

Phase 2: Index Rule Selection (Two-Tier Loading)

Always load first:

• assets/security-rules/_global-forge.mdc

Then load only relevant category index rules:

| Signal | Load |

| --------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

| Any meaningful scope usage, mutations, or asApp() usage | assets/security-rules/forge-authn-authz/_index-authn-authz.mdc |

| webtrigger or scheduledTrigger modules | assets/security-rules/forge-webtrigger-entrypoints/_index-webtrigger-entrypoints.mdc |

| permissions.external.fetch or remotes | assets/security-rules/forge-egress-remotes/_index-egress-remotes.mdc |

| SQL APIs or untrusted input reaching resolver sinks | assets/security-rules/forge-injection/_index-injection.mdc |

| Multi-tenant patterns, module/global state, cache reuse | assets/security-rules/forge-tenant-isolation/_index-tenant-isolation.mdc |

| Credentials/tokens/secrets handling | assets/security-rules/forge-secrets-storage/_index-secrets-storage.mdc |

| Unsafe CSP or likely scope/config misconfiguration | assets/security-rules/forge-manifest-config/_index-manifest-config.mdc |

| Rovo modules/actions | assets/security-rules/forge-rovo-agents/_index-rovo-agents.mdc |

| Baseline logging/error/static analysis concerns | assets/security-rules/forge-auditing/_index-auditing.mdc |

| Dependency/package risk review | assets/security-rules/forge-misc/_index-misc.mdc |

Subrule policy:

• After reading an index, load only the subrules that match the detection heuristics observed in code.
• Do not pre-load every subrule in a category.

Phase 3: Analysis and Verification

For each loaded category:

• Enumerate reachable entry points.
• Trace source -> validation/authz -> sink.
• Confirm exploitability with evidence.
• Score confirmed findings with CVSS v3.1.

Focused Review Mode

If the user asks for a narrow review (for example, only authz), load:

• Global baseline
• Requested category index
• Only matching subrules in that category

Still mention any obvious critical findings observed outside scope.

Review Workflow

• Build an execution map:
• UI Kit/Custom UI entry points
• Bridge invocations and resolver handlers
• api.asUser() / api.asApp() call paths
• External egress/remotes and trigger entry points
• For each finding, trace source -> validation/authz -> sink.
• Validate exploitability before classifying as a confirmed vulnerability.
• Keep non-exploitable hardening observations in a separate "needs validation" section.
• Provide file-level evidence and practical test leads for each issue.

Static Analysis Mode

If the user asks for a full scan, run the complete workflow from:

• assets/security-rules/forge-auditing/static-analysis-forge.mdc

Expected tools (when available): Semgrep, npm audit, Snyk, gitleaks.

Output Requirements

• Provide a markdown security audit report.
• Order confirmed exploitable findings by CVSS v3.1 severity and impact.
• Include for each confirmed finding:
• CVSS vector and base score
• Severity band
• Exploitability and impact
• File evidence and source-to-sink trace
• CWE mapping
• Reproducible PoC/test steps with concrete commands
• Include assumptions and evidence gaps.
• Do not report scanner counts only when vulnerabilities exist.

Example Trigger Phrases

• "Review this Forge app for security"
• "Do a white-box security audit of my Forge app"
• "Check this app for authz bypass and tenant isolation issues"
• "Run full static analysis for this Forge codebase"
