browser-exploitation-v8

browser-exploitation-v8 is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from DorianGallo/hack-skills-local. It costs 50 tokens per session (3,036 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of browser-exploitation-v8, MIT.

A playbook for exploiting security vulnerabilities in JavaScript engines, especially V8, the engine used by Chrome and Chromium browsers. It covers techniques such as type confusion, memory corruption, and escaping browser restrictions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for browser security research, vulnerability challenges, and studying how JavaScript-engine flaws can lead to code execution or sandbox escapes.
Why use it?
It organizes specialized browser-exploitation knowledge that is otherwise difficult to apply correctly.

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

browser-exploitation-v8 scanned grade A with 0 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 10d 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

SKILL: Browser / V8 Exploitation — Expert Attack Playbook

AI LOAD INSTRUCTION: Expert V8/Chrome exploitation techniques. Covers V8 compilation pipeline, JIT type confusion, addrof/fakeobj primitives, ArrayBuffer corruption, WASM RWX pages, V8 sandbox (pointer compression), and Chrome sandbox escape overview. Distilled from ctf-wiki browser sections, Project Zero research, and CTF competition patterns. Base models often confuse V8 object representation details and miss the pointer compression barrier.

Advanced Reference

  • Detailed exploitation patterns and code templates
  • Heap layout manipulation and GC interaction
  • V8 sandbox bypass techniques
  • Object map confusion patterns

1. V8 ARCHITECTURE

Compilation Pipeline

JavaScript Source
    ↓ Parser
  AST (Abstract Syntax Tree)
    ↓ Ignition
  Bytecode (interpreted, profiling)
    ↓ Sparkplug (non-optimizing baseline, V8 ≥ 9.1)
  Baseline code (fast startup)
    ↓ Maglev (mid-tier, V8 ≥ 10.2)
  Mid-optimized code
    ↓ TurboFan (optimizing JIT)
  Optimized machine code (with speculative optimizations)
    ↓ Deoptimization (if speculation fails)
  Back to Ignition bytecode

Key V8 Concepts

Concept Description
Tagged pointers SMI (Small Integer): value << 1, HeapObject: ptr | 1
Pointer compression V8 ≥ 8.0: objects addressed via 32-bit offset from cage base (4GB sandbox)
Maps (Hidden Classes) Define object shape: property names, types, offsets
Elements kinds Internal array type: PACKED_SMI_ELEMENTS, PACKED_DOUBLE_ELEMENTS, PACKED_ELEMENTS, etc.
Write barrier GC bookkeeping when heap pointers are written
Garbage collection Orinoco GC: minor (Scavenge) and major (Mark-Compact)

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.
