assess-exposure-and-impact

assess-exposure-and-impact is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from gaelic-ghost/socket. It costs 50 tokens per session (362 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A method for judging how serious a vulnerability is on a particular system, based on exposure, required access, affected data, exploit activity, and business importance.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inventory affected assets, check attacker requirements and current exploitation, assess possible damage, and set a practical response priority.
Why use it?
It prevents a generic severity score from hiding whether the vulnerable asset is reachable, protected by controls, or especially important.

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

assess-exposure-and-impact 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 4d 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.

What it actually says

Assess Exposure And Impact

Overview

Translate a technical finding into asset-specific risk and action. Treat CVSS as one technical severity input and current exploitation intelligence as another; neither replaces deployed context.

Read references/exposure-impact-model.md for the decision factors.

Workflow

  1. Confirm finding confidence and exact affected/fixed versions.
  2. Inventory affected assets.
    • Record internet/internal/local reachability, environment, owner, business function, data, users, privileges, and compensating controls.
  3. Model attacker requirements.
    • Record access position, authentication, user interaction, configuration, chaining, reliability, and detection likelihood.
  4. Check current intelligence.
    • Review vendor advisory, fixed release, exploit maturity, CISA KEV/ransomware status, ecosystem advisories, and known active campaigns; date sources.
  5. Evaluate consequence.
    • Assess confidentiality, integrity, availability, privilege, blast radius, persistence, recovery difficulty, safety/legal/privacy obligations, and business interruption.
  6. Evaluate mitigations.
    • Test whether configuration, network controls, feature disablement, isolation, monitoring, or virtual patching actually blocks the validated path.
  7. Prioritize action.
    • Recommend patch, mitigate, isolate, monitor, accept temporarily with owner/expiry, or investigate further; include retest criteria.

Output

Return affected assets, exposure path, impact, current exploitation context, mitigations, priority/rationale, action owner/deadline, and residual uncertainty.

Files

What ships with it

2 files 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.
