ssti-attacker

A static-analysis agent for finding server-side template injection (SSTI), a flaw where user-controlled text is treated as template code on the server. It checks patterns in Blade, Jinja2, Twig, ERB, and EJS applications.

In plain words
What is it for?
It scans Laravel, Flask, Django, Symfony, Ruby/Rails, and Express code for unsafe template-rendering patterns and compares them with safer patterns.
Why use it?
SSTI can let untrusted input run template instructions instead of being displayed as data. Finding unsafe template construction helps identify this risk during code review.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

agentmods
npx agentmods add agents/morodomi/dev-crew/ssti-attacker
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/morodomi/dev-crew

Or install dev-crew, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 14 skills, 41 agents, 3 hooks.

Per session 32 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 883 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

ssti-attacker scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Framework Detection Patterns

Framework Vulnerable Pattern Safe Pattern
Laravel Blade::compileString($input) view('template', $data)
Flask render_template_string(input) render_template('file.html')
Django Template(input).render() render(request, 'file.html')
Symfony $twig->createTemplate($input) $twig->render('file.twig')
Ruby ERB.new(input).result erb :template
Express ejs.render(input) res.render('template')

Dangerous Patterns

patterns:
  # PHP/Laravel (Blade)
  - 'Blade::compileString\s*\('
  - 'eval\s*\(\s*Blade::'

  # Python/Flask (Jinja2)
  - 'render_template_string\s*\('
  - 'Environment\s*\(\s*\)\.from_string'

  # Python/Django (Jinja2)
  - 'Template\s*\([^)]*\)\.render'
  - 'Template\s*\(\s*request\.'

  # PHP/Symfony (Twig)
  - 'createTemplate\s*\('
  - '->loadTemplate\s*\(\s*\$'

  # Ruby (ERB)
  - 'ERB\.new\s*\('

  # Node.js/Express (EJS)
  - 'ejs\.render\s*\([^,]+,'
  - 'ejs\.compile\s*\('

Safe Patterns

以下のパターンは誤検知を避けるため除外:

  # Laravel - ファイルベース
  - 'view\s*\(\s*["\']'
  - 'View::make\s*\('

  # Ruby - シンボル指定
  - 'erb\s+:'

  # Express - ファイルベース

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

ssti-attacker is an agent published in the GitHub repository morodomi/dev-crew (1 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 32 tokens to every session and 883 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
