error-attacker

error-attacker is an agent for coding agents from morodomi/redteam-skills. It costs 28 tokens per session (1,232 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A security-analysis agent that looks for unsafe exception handling, such as ignored errors, overly broad catches, and resources that are not released.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for scanning Java, Python, JavaScript, PHP, and Ruby code for patterns such as empty catch blocks, swallowed exceptions, fail-open behavior, and missing cleanup.
Why use it?
Poor exception handling can hide failures, allow unsafe behavior, or leave files and other resources open.

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

error-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 3d 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.

fail-open 失敗時にオープン return true on error
generic-exception 汎用例外キャッチ catch (Exception e)
missing-finally リソース解放漏れ no finally block

Framework Detection Patterns

Framework Vulnerable Pattern Safe Pattern
Java catch (Exception e) {} catch (SpecificException e) { log(e); throw; }
Python except: pass except ValueError as e: logger.error(e)
JavaScript catch (e) {} catch (e) { console.error(e); throw e; }
PHP catch (Exception $e) {} catch (SpecificException $e) { Log::error($e); }

Dangerous Patterns

  - 'rescue\s*;\s*end'                       # Ruby empty

  # Swallowed Exception (CWE-391)
  - 'catch\s*\([^)]*\)\s*\{\s*//.*\s*\}'    # Comment only in catch
  - 'catch\s*\([^)]*\)\s*\{\s*/\*.*\*/\s*\}' # Block comment only
  - 'except.*:\s*#.*\n\s*pass'               # Python with comment

  # Fail Open (CWE-636)
  - 'catch\s*\([^)]*\)\s*\{[^}]*return\s+true'
  - 'except.*:\s*return\s+True'
  - 'rescue.*return\s+true'
  - 'on\s+error\s+resume\s+next'             # VB

  # Generic Exception (CWE-396)
  - 'catch\s*\(\s*Exception\s+\$?\w+\s*\)'   # PHP/Java
  - 'catch\s*\(\s*Throwable\s+\w+\s*\)'      # Java
  - 'except\s+Exception\s*:'                 # Python
  - 'except\s+BaseException\s*:'             # Python
  - 'catch\s*\(\s*\w+\s*\)\s*\{'             # JS catch any

  # Missing Finally (CWE-404)
  - 'try\s*\{[^}]*\}\s*catch[^f]*$'          # Try-catch without finally

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.
