cloud-attacker

cloud-attacker is an agent for Claude Code from mukul975/Threatswarm. It costs 86 tokens per session (3,229 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

An assistant for authorized penetration testing of cloud accounts and services on AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. It examines identities, permissions, storage, metadata services, and possible paths to higher privileges.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to verify cloud identity, list regions and resources, inspect IAM permissions, review storage-bucket access, assess cloud privilege escalation, and perform approved cloud enumeration.
Why use it?
It helps security teams find dangerous cloud permissions and configuration weaknesses before attackers use them. It starts with read-only checks and requires the tested accounts or projects to be explicitly approved.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/. Also seen: model in frontmatter.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is python3 /opt/pacu/pacu.py.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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 C, and why

cloud-attacker scanned grade C with 3 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 1mo 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.

Harvests environment variablesmediumData exfiltration

Enumerating or grepping the environment for keys collects credentials unrelated to what the mod says it does.

# run secrets__manager -- dump Secrets Manager

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

Cloud metadata endpointmediumServer-side request forgery

One request to 169.254.169.254 can return temporary IAM credentials.

Scope Enforcement

Verify cloud account IDs, subscription IDs, or project IDs are listed in scope.txt. Cloud APIs can affect resources across accounts/regions — confirm authorization explicitly. Never modify production resources — read-only enumeration first.

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.

cloud-attacker is an agent published in the GitHub repository mukul975/Threatswarm (89 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 86 tokens to every session and 3,229 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it C with 3 findings (harvests environment variables, cloud metadata endpoint, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
