OWASP Compliance Loop
This loop helps developers iteratively identify and remediate OWASP Top 10 security vulnerabilities in their codebase. It follows a self-paced act-check-inspect cycle, ensuring thorough compliance with security best practices through automated auditing and targeted fixes.
Goal
Address OWASP findings
How to Run
Run this loop in your CLI-based coding agent to iteratively fix OWASP vulnerabilities.
- 01
Start the Loop
Paste the kickoff prompt into your coding agent (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor) to begin the compliance process.
- 02
Follow Iterative Workflow
Let the agent act on vulnerabilities, run audits, and inspect results automatically until exit condition is met.
- 03
Complete Within Limits
Ensure the loop completes within 10 iterations or manually exit if stuck.
Workflow Steps
- 01
Act: Apply fixes to the top-priority OWASP vulnerability identified.
- 02
Run Check: Execute 'owasp audit' to scan for remaining issues.
- 03
Inspect Result: Analyze audit output for new findings or regressions.
- 04
Repeat: Continue loop until no critical vulnerabilities remain or max iterations reached.
Kickoff Prompt
Start the "OWASP Compliance Loop" loop. Goal: Address OWASP findings Max iterations: 10 Between iterations run: owasp audit Exit when: Checklist complete Start the OWASP Compliance Loop. First, run 'owasp audit' on the codebase to identify vulnerabilities. List all findings sorted by severity (critical, high, medium, low). Begin fixing the most critical issue, then re-audit after each fix. Stop only when the audit passes with zero critical/high issues or after 10 iterations. Provide a summary of all changes made. Self-pace this loop. After each iteration, run `owasp audit` and evaluate the output, and only continue if the exit condition is not met (Checklist complete). Stop when the exit condition passes or 10 iterations are reached. Give a short status update each pass.
Guardrails
hardcoded- ·Do not proceed with more than 10 iterations to prevent infinite loops.
- ·Always inspect the output of 'owasp audit' before proceeding.
- ·Prioritize critical and high-severity findings first.
- ·Maintain a log of addressed issues to avoid redundant work.
- ·Exit immediately when all OWASP checks pass successfully.

Dependency Security Upgrade
This loop automates the process of identifying and remediating security vulnerabilities in project dependencies. It continuously scans for outdated or vulnerable packages, applies necessary upgrades, and validates fixes to ensure the codebase remains secure without manual intervention. The loop adapts to different package managers and security tools based on the project environment.

Vulnerability Until Zero
An automated loop to systematically eliminate critical npm security vulnerabilities in your project by iteratively running npm audit, analyzing findings, and applying fixes until the codebase reaches a secure state.

Security Headers Fixer
Automates the detection and remediation of missing or misconfigured HTTP security headers across web applications. Uses securityheader.com API and curl-based testing to validate headers like CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and more.
