database-security

Helps your agent check database security. Looks for access flaws, wrong settings, and potential security breaches.

What it does

This tool checks the security of databases like PostgreSQL, MySQL, and others. It looks for security flaws, misconfigurations, and potential vulnerabilities.

When to use it

  • ✓To check if a database is secure within an authorized environment.
  • ✓To find access issues and risky configurations.
  • ✓To understand how an attacker might exploit weaknesses.

Example of what to ask your AI

“Check the database security on IP address 192.168.1.100, with written authorization.”

How it works

The tool connects to the database and analyzes its settings and permissions. It searches for known vulnerability patterns and exposes potential attack paths.

Installation

Easiest way: copy the skill link and paste it into Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor asking it to follow the instructions.

In the terminal (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor), in your project folder:

npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill database-security

Or download just the file:

curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills/main/plugins/agentic-awesome-skills-claude/skills/database-security/SKILL.md -o SKILL.md
Technical content (original SKILL.md)

Original text by the author, straight from GitHub.

⚠️ AUTHORIZED USE ONLY This skill is for educational purposes or authorized security assessments only. You must have explicit, written permission from the system owner before using this tool. Misuse of this tool is illegal and strictly prohibited.

Mandatory confirmation gate Before running any command that probes, exploits, changes, persists on, extracts data from, or attempts credential access against a target:

  1. Ask the user to state the exact target URL, IP, account, or resource.
  2. Ask the user to confirm written authorization and the permitted scope.
  3. Show the exact command(s) and explain their expected effect.
  4. Wait for explicit confirmation in the current conversation.

Without that confirmation, remain read-only and provide defensive guidance only. Prefer a sandbox, disposable VM, or controlled lab.

Database Security Assessment

When to Use

  • Assessing database hardening and exposure within an approved scope.
  • Checking authz boundaries and risky server-side execution features.

适用场景

  • 数据库未授权/弱口令/错误绑定 0.0.0.0
  • 权限过大、危险功能(xp_cmdshell、COPY PROGRAM、UDF)
  • 横向:从应用账号到 DBA
  • NoSQL 注入与 Redis 写文件等(授权环境)

工作流

□ 网络暴露与 TLS
□ 账号角色与 grantee
□ 敏感表访问控制
□ 危险配置:file_priv、xp_cmdshell、load_file
□ 审计日志是否开启
□ 备份与快照权限

工具链

工具 用途
官方 CLI 连接与枚举
sqlmap 注入验证(授权)
nuclei 已知暴露模板
云 RDS 控制台审计 配置

下游: 获 OS 命令 → attack-chain;云托管 → cloud-k8s

任务完成自检

  • 是否避免未授权写删?
  • 是否区分配置问题与可利用链?
  • Checklist?

Limitations

  • Never run against production data stores without explicit written approval.
  • Active exploitation paths (UDF/command exec) are destructive-capable; simulate first.

FAQ

Do I need permission to use this tool?

Yes, you need explicit, written permission from the system owner before using this tool. Unauthorized use is illegal.

What happens if I don't have permission?

The tool will only be able to provide defensive guidance and will not run any checks that could alter or access data without confirmation and authorization.

Can this tool damage my database?

Some checks can be destructive. It's recommended to use it in a test environment or simulate first, and always have written authorization.
