Web Security Testing Workflow
SkillSecurityweb-security-testing is a skill that guides an AI agent through a structured workflow for checking web applications against OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities. It covers injection, cross-site scripting, authentication flaws, and access control issues. The person using it gets a repeatable way to have their agent probe an app for common security holes instead of improvising each time.

Details
Instructions available. Your AI can read the instructions. Execution depends on the setup they require.
Account requirements not reviewed. Check the skill instructions before use; ahel provides instructions and does not run this skill.
No other account needed.
Have a web application you are authorized to test.
What your AI can do with it
- Walk an agent through OWASP Top 10 checks step by step
- Test for injection flaws in application inputs
- Probe for cross-site scripting (XSS) weaknesses
- Examine authentication flows for flaws
- Check access control for broken authorization
Getting started
- Have a web application you are authorized to test.
- Add the web-security-testing skill to your agent's available skills.
- Point the agent at the target application and its scope.
- Run the workflow and review the findings it reports.

Questions
- What does this skill cover?
- It covers a web application security testing workflow for OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, including injection, XSS, authentication flaws, and access control issues.
- Is it a scanner?
- No. It is a skill that guides an agent through a testing workflow; the agent performs the checks rather than a standalone scanner.
- Do I need permission to test a site?
- Yes. Only run it against applications you are authorized to test.
- Which vulnerability classes does it check?
- Injection, cross-site scripting, authentication flaws, and access control issues, framed around the OWASP Top 10.
