triage

triage is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Encod3d-Sec/TORCH. It costs 48 tokens per session (832 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A seven-question gate for deciding whether a reported security issue is ready to be marked complete. It checks whether the issue is reproducible, in scope, realistically exploitable, and supported by a specific impact.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review findings before moving them from research into completed reports, including checking the exact request, required access, affected asset, and real-world consequence.
Why use it?
It prevents uncertain reports or weak claims from being treated as confirmed vulnerabilities.

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

triage 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 1mo 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.

Triage: Finding Validation Gate

Use BEFORE moving any FIND from Vulns/Research/ to Vulns/Completed/.

One wrong answer = keep the finding in Research. Move on to next test class.


THE 7-QUESTION GATE

Ask in order. One NO = STOP for this finding.

Q1: Can an attacker use this RIGHT NOW, step by step?

Complete this template:

Setup:   I need [own account / another user's ID / no account / internal access]
Request: [exact HTTP method, URL, headers, body -- copy-paste ready]
Result:  I can [read / modify / delete / execute] [exact data or action]
Impact:  The real-world consequence is [specific impact]

If you CANNOT write the Request line as a real reproducing command -> keep in Research.

Q2: Is the impact within engagement scope?

  • Does it affect an in-scope asset?
  • Does the impact match the severity level being claimed?
  • Not a third-party service the target merely uses?

Q3: Is the root cause in an in-scope asset?

  • Production asset (not staging/dev unless in scope)
  • Not out-of-scope subsidiary or third-party

Q4: Does it require privileged access that an attacker cannot realistically obtain?

  • "Admin can do X" = not a finding
  • "Non-admin can do X that only admin should do" = valid
  • Pre-auth or low-auth is highest value

Q5: Is this already known or documented?

  • Check Vuln-index.md - not already listed?
  • Check Deadends.md - not already investigated and closed?
  • Not design-documented behaviour?

Q6: Can you prove impact beyond "technically possible"?

  • XSS -> show actual session theft or action execution, not just alert(1)
  • SSRF -> confirm OOB callback (DNS/HTTP), not just URL echo in error message
  • SQLi -> show actual data extracted from a real table
  • IDOR -> show actual other-user data in response body, not just 200 status

Q7: Not on the Never-Promote list?

Never promote to Completed without a chain:

Self-XSS only (no CSRF trigger)
Open redirect alone (no OAuth/ATO chain)
CORS wildcard without credentialed exfil PoC
SSRF DNS-only (no internal service access)
Rate limit without demonstrated impact
Version banner alone
Missing headers alone (no impact PoC)

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.

triage is a skill published in the GitHub repository Encod3d-Sec/TORCH (336 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 48 tokens to every session and 832 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
