Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00042 | $0.00501 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00021 | $0.00251 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00100 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00050 |
Grade A, and why
redteam-cve-validation 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 5d 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.
This is a copy
100% identical to redteam-cve-validation — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 62 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
CVE Validation
Domain
Validate candidate CVEs against the current target evidence without assuming exploitability.
The module consumes cve_candidate_list, product/version evidence, service fingerprints, and scope data, then decides whether the CVE path is usable, patched, not applicable, or needs more recon.
Trigger
cve_candidate_list_ready
Feedback Gates
- Scope Gate: target and asset must be in the declared authorization boundary.
- Evidence Gate: candidate CVE must map to observed product, version, endpoint, service, or fingerprint evidence.
- Applicability Gate: version range, configuration, and reachable component must plausibly match.
- Patch Gate: observed version or vendor advisory must not prove the issue fixed.
- Execution Gate: active validation requires a registered scoped adapter; missing adapters block rather than pretending execution happened.
Boundaries
- Do not run destructive or broad exploit attempts.
- Do not validate outside the declared target and scope.
- Do not treat CVE names alone as proof.
- Prefer passive or low-noise confirmation first.
- If evidence is insufficient, return to recon or CVE lookup rather than guessing.
Pivot Hints
- Candidate has no product/version match -> return to recon-intake for better fingerprinting.
- Candidate is patched or not applicable -> route by highest-ranked attack surface from recon.
- Tool or adapter missing -> record missing capability and request/choose an equivalent adapter.
- Too many candidates -> rank by reachable component, confidence, impact, and version fit.
Exit Conditions
- Confirmed applicable candidate -> continue to the specific validation/testing skill.
- All candidates patched/not applicable -> exit to evidence-based router.
- Evidence incomplete -> return to recon-intake or cve-lookup.
- Required tool/scope/adapter missing -> block with the missing capability or scope evidence.
Exit Evidence
- Required: cve_validation_result
- Optional: cve_patch_status, applicability_proof, non_applicability_reason
- min_attempts: 1
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.
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.

redteam-cve-validation is a skill published in the GitHub repository fb0sh/pentester (23 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 42 tokens to every session and 501 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to redteam-cve-validation, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
