Run a 42Crunch live conformance and authorization scan against an API and fix SQG-blocking scan findings. Use this skill whenever the user wants to run a conformance test, authorization scan, BOLA test, BFLA test, generate or configure a scan config, or fix scan-reported issues. Triggers on phrases like "run scan", "scan only", "conformance test", "BOLA test", "BFLA test", "42crunch scan", "scan config", or any request focused on live API testing without running a static audit. Use 42crunch-api-security-testing when the user wants both audit and scan together.

42Crunch Scan Skill

Runs a single phase: Scan (live conformance + authorization testing and SQG-blocking fix loop). Requires explicit user permission before execution. Does not run a static audit — use the 42crunch-audit skill for that.

Assumes the OAS file is already audit-clean (or the user is explicitly running scan only). If the user mentions audit issues before scanning, suggest running 42crunch-audit first.


Entry Point

  1. Pre-flight checks. Read ../../references/pre-flight.md and complete all steps (setup, OAS resolution, tag detection). When prompting for OAS file selection, use the context "scan" (e.g. "Which one should I scan?"). Do not proceed if any step fails or the user cancels.

  2. Resolve the scan target URL.

    Read servers[0].url from the OAS file.

    • If SCAN42C_HOST environment variable is set → announce silently:

      "Using scan target from SCAN42C_HOST: <url>" Store as SCAN_TARGET_URL and proceed.

    • If not set → call AskUserQuestion:
      • question: "The OAS points to <servers[0].url> as the API target. Is this the right URL to scan against?" — options: ["Yes — use this URL", "No — I'll provide a different URL"]
      • If No → ask the user to provide the URL and store it as SCAN_TARGET_URL.
      • If Yes → store servers[0].url as SCAN_TARGET_URL.
  3. OAS analysis for scan preview — run silently before asking permission.

    Read the OAS file and collect:

    • Total operation count
    • Auth scheme types from securitySchemes (Bearer/JWT, API Key, Basic, OAuth2)
    • BOLA candidate count: operations where the path has {…Id}, {…Key}, {…Ref}, or similar resource-ID placeholders AND the method is GET, PUT, PATCH, or DELETE
    • Whether the OAS contains sample data: any operation with example, examples, or default values on its request body or parameter schemas
  4. Ask for permission to configure the scan. Output the following scan preview as a chat message first:

    Ready to configure the scan?
      Target:   <SCAN_TARGET_URL>
      OAS:      <filename>  (<N> operations)
      Auth:     <scheme types>  [+  second user needed — <N> BOLA candidate(s)]
      Samples:  OAS has sample data  /  No samples — you'll need to provide test data
      Tag:      <category>:<tagname>           ← platform mode only, when a tag is assigned; omit if no tag
      Mode:     Platform / Free Trial
    

    Then call AskUserQuestion:

    • question: "I'm ready to start configuring the scan. I'll ask for credentials, classify your operations, and set up test scenarios — then run a happy path validation before the full scan. Shall I proceed?"
    • options: ["Yes, let's configure", "No, cancel"]
  5. Execute the Scan. Mode is already resolved from pre-flight — do not re-derive it.

    Reachability check — read ../../references/reachability-check.md and run the two-stage probe now. Return here once it completes (or stop if the user cancels).

    Read ../../references/scan-workflow.md and apply only the commands for the identified mode throughout. The workflow sets up the scan config, collects credentials, gathers test data, shows a complete operation-by-operation classification table, validates happy paths, then asks for permission again before running the full scan. It presents a risk-classified findings report (Authorization failures / SQG-blocking conformance / informational conformance). Fix candidates are determined by SQG-blocking rules and authorization failures — not severity alone. The skill pauses and asks the user to consent before applying any OAS changes or server-side code fixes. Optionally prompt user to restart the API after server-side code fixes are applied, or skipped, before the final scan summary.

Mandatory checkpoint: after any direct edit to CONF_FILE (including environments.default.variables.*, auth wiring, or scenario chains), run scan conf validate and resolve all validation errors before continuing to happy-path or full scan runs.

Free Trial mode: no SQG is enforced for scan. Present all findings for information. The user decides which (if any) to fix.

  1. Render findings and ask for fix permission before final Scan summary.

    After the full scan completes, do not jump directly to the final "Scan Complete" summary when findings exist. First complete scan-workflow.md Step 12 in order:

    • render the full three-tier scan report (Authorization failures / SQG-blocking conformance / informational conformance);
    • assemble the fix candidate lists from that report and the SQG blocking rules;
    • ask the user the Step 12c consent question with the proposed fix lists.

    Only proceed to OAS or server-side code fixes after the user explicitly chooses to apply fixes. If the user declines fixes, or after the fix and optional verification loop completes, then present the final scan summary (see Output Format below).

Only continue after explicit user confirmation at each permission prompt.


Output Format

After the scan completes, produce a summary in this shape:

Scan Complete
  Mode:           Platform / Free Trial
  SQG:            PASSED  (<sqg-name> — your org's security quality gate is met)    ← platform mode, passed
  SQG:            FAILED  (<sqg-name> — the quality gate is not met; fixes above are required)    ← platform mode, failed
  SQG:            N/A  (Free Trial — scan findings are informational; no gate enforced)    ← free trial mode
  Tag:            <category>:<tagname>             ← platform mode only, when a tag is assigned; omit this row if no tag
  Authorization:  BOLA confirmed on 1 operation — OAS updated · server-side fix applied
  Conformance:    1 SQG-blocking issue fixed (OAS + code) · 3 informational findings surfaced
  OAS updated:    <path/to/openapi.json>

Show only the one SQG line that matches the current mode and result.

If the user declined to apply fixes or no issues were found, note that instead.


Environment Variables

Variable Purpose
SCAN42C_HOST Scan target base URL (overrides OAS servers[0]) — Both modes

All other variables (API_KEY, PLATFORM_HOST, TRIAL_TOKEN) and general constraints are defined in ../../references/pre-flight.md.
