unknown-vector-analysis

A security-analysis skill for custom applications, scripts, and binary programs that do not match standard testing techniques.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review source code, map exposed attack paths, research relevant CVEs, and adapt proof-of-concept tests during authorized assessments.
Why use it?
It provides a route for investigating unusual software when common vulnerability patterns are not enough to understand its attack surface.

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

unknown-vector-analysis scanned grade A with 2 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 2d 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.

Asks for rootlowPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

`"libarchive 3.6.2 vulnerability"`, `"sudo 1.9.5 exploit"`

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

Runs shell commandslowCapability

Expected in a hook, worth knowing in a rule or an instructions file.

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.

unknown-vector-analysis is a skill published in the GitHub repository blacklanternsecurity/red-run (266 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed GPL-3.0. It adds 115 tokens to every session and 2,934 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 2 findings (asks for root, runs shell commands). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
