pentest-findings

pentest-findings is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from jayelbotvibe-web/hermes-pentest-lab. It costs 47 tokens per session (7,788 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A reference guide for interpreting penetration-test findings, which are reports of security weaknesses discovered by authorized testing.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for identifying vulnerability types, estimating CVSS 3.1 severity, and writing descriptions, impacts, and remediation steps.
Why use it?
It helps turn scanner or tester output into consistent severity ratings, CVSS scores, and report language.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is python3 scripts/add-finding.py --list.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Fix: Remove offensive tool references and exploit code. Legitimate agent skills should not contain penetration testing tools, exploit frameworks, or reconnaissance utilities.

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

pentest-findings 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 11d 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.

Pentest Finding Encyclopedia

Maps common pentest tool output to finding classification, CVSS 3.1 scoring, severity, and report-ready description/remediation language. Load this skill during the reporting phase of any engagement — it ensures findings are scored consistently and written in professional report language.

How to Use

  1. Identify the vulnerability class (Web, Network, Auth, Infrastructure, Info Disclosure)
  2. Jump to the corresponding section
  3. Match the tool output against "What You See"
  4. Use the CVSS guidance to score (adjustable per engagement context)
  5. Use the report language templates — the Description, Impact, and Remediation fields are copy-ready

Web Application

SQL Injection

What You See: sqlmap output: Parameter '#1*' is vulnerable... boolean-based blind or time-based blind or error-based or UNION query

Interpretation: The application constructs SQL queries using unsanitized user input, allowing an attacker to manipulate database queries.

CVSS Scoring:

  • Unauthenticated + data extraction possible: CVSS 9.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)
  • Authenticated + limited to own data: CVSS 8.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)
  • Blind + slow extraction only: CVSS 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N)
  • Error-based only (no extraction): CVSS 6.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N)

Severity: Critical (unauthenticated data access), High (authenticated), Medium (error-based only)

CWE: CWE-89 (SQL Injection)

Report — Description: "SQL injection was identified in the <parameter> parameter of <endpoint>. The application fails to sanitize user-supplied input before incorporating it into database queries. An attacker can manipulate query logic to extract, modify, or delete database contents."

Report — Impact: "Successful exploitation allows an attacker to read arbitrary data from the application database, including user credentials, personal information, and application secrets. In severe cases, the attacker may modify or delete data, or in the case of stacked queries, execute operating system commands on the database server."
