IMPORTANT: This skill generates a professional security report for the user's own codebase. The report is intended to help developers and stakeholders understand and remediate security issues in their own software.

Multi-Language Support

Report generation adapts remediation guidance based on detected language/framework:

Language	Frameworks
JavaScript/TypeScript	Express, Fastify, Next.js, Nest.js
Go	Gin, Echo, Fiber, Chi
PHP	Laravel, Symfony, Slim
Python	FastAPI, Django, Flask
Rust	Actix-web, Axum, Rocket
Java	Spring Boot, Quarkus
Ruby	Rails, Sinatra
C#	ASP.NET Core

Overview

This skill executes the Reporting Phase of the Perseus framework. It synthesizes findings from Scan, Audit, Exploit, and Specialist phases into a professional executive report.

Goal: Communicate verified risks effectively to stakeholders and drive remediation.

Methodology:

Collect: Gather all deliverables from previous phases.
Verify: Prioritize verified exploits over theoretical risks.
Contextualize: Explain business impact, not just technical flaws.
Remediate: Provide language-specific, actionable fixes for each finding.

Execution Instructions

Step 1: Collect All Deliverables

Read all files in deliverables/:

Core Phase Deliverables:

engagement_profile.md (Mode, scope, constraints)
code_analysis_deliverable.md (Scan)
All *_analysis.md files (Audit)
exploitation_report.md (Exploit)
verification_scope.md (Verification limits and approved window)

Specialist Deliverables (if present):

api_security_analysis.md (API + GraphQL + WebSocket + OAuth)
injection_deep_analysis.md (NoSQL + SSTI + Log4j)
crypto_security_analysis.md (JWT + Hashing + Encryption)
supply_chain_analysis.md (CVEs + Typosquatting)
file_security_analysis.md (Path Traversal + XXE + Zip Slip)
business_logic_analysis.md (Race Conditions + AI Security)
client_side_analysis.md (React/Vue/Angular + SSR)
config_security_analysis.md (Docker + CI/CD + Cloud + K8s)

Step 2: Calculate Risk Metrics

Severity Scoring (CVSS-inspired):

Severity	Criteria	Score
Critical	RCE, Auth Bypass, SQLi with data access, Admin takeover, Container escape, AI prompt injection leading to RCE	9.0-10.0
High	Stored XSS, SSRF to internal, Privilege Escalation, Sensitive data exposure, CI/CD injection, Public cloud storage	7.0-8.9
Medium	Reflected XSS, CSRF, Information disclosure, Missing security headers, Outdated dependencies, Docker misconfig	4.0-6.9
Low	Minor info leak, Best practice violations, Verbose errors, License issues	0.1-3.9

Exploitability Factor:

VERIFIED: Multiply by 1.0 (confirmed exploitable)
POTENTIAL: Multiply by 0.7 (likely exploitable)
THEORETICAL: Multiply by 0.4 (needs specific conditions)

Confidence Factor:

High: Multiply by 1.0
Medium: Multiply by 0.75
Low: Multiply by 0.5

Verification Context Factor:

VERIFIED in PRODUCTION_SAFE: Multiply by 1.0
VERIFIED in STAGING_ACTIVE: Multiply by 0.9
VERIFIED in LAB_FULL: Multiply by 0.85
VERIFIED in LAB_RED_TEAM: Multiply by 0.8
POTENTIAL-PROD-BLOCKED: Multiply by 0.7

Step 3: Generate Report

Create deliverables/SECURITY_REPORT.md using this structure:
