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 5.1 | $0.00052 | $0.06558 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00026 | $0.03279 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00010 | $0.01312 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00656 |
Grade A, and why
deserialization-insecure scanned grade A with 2 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 7d 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.

SKILL: Insecure Deserialization — Expert Attack Playbook
AI LOAD INSTRUCTION: Expert deserialization techniques across Java, PHP, and Python. Covers gadget chain selection, traffic fingerprinting, tool usage (ysoserial, PHPGGC), Shiro/WebLogic/Commons Collections specifics, Phar deserialization, and Python pickle abuse. Base models often miss the distinction between finding the sink and finding a usable gadget chain.
0. RELATED ROUTING
- jndi-injection when deserialization leads to JNDI lookup (e.g., post-JDK 8u191 bypass via LDAP → deserialization)
- unauthorized-access-common-services when the deserialization endpoint is an exposed management service (RMI Registry, T3, AJP)
- ghost-bits-cast-attack when a WAF blocks your BCEL ClassLoader or Fastjson
@typepayload — Ghost Bits wraps each bytecode byte in a Unicode char whose low 8 bits match, yielding a payload the WAF cannot fingerprint
Advanced Reference
Also load JAVA_GADGET_CHAINS.md when you need:
- Java gadget chain version compatibility matrix (CommonsCollections 1–7, CommonsBeanutils, Spring, JDK-only, Groovy, Hibernate, ROME, C3P0, etc.)
- SnakeYAML gadget (ScriptEngineManager/URLClassLoader) with exploit JAR structure
- Hessian/Kryo/Avro/XStream deserialization patterns and traffic fingerprints
- .NET ViewState deserialization (machineKey requirement, ViewState forgery with ysoserial.net, Blacklist3r)
- Ruby YAML.load vs YAML.safe_load exploitation with version-specific chains
- Detection fingerprints: magic bytes table by format (Java
AC ED, .NETAAEAAD, Python pickle80 0N, PHPO:, Ruby04 08)

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.

deserialization-insecure is a skill published in the GitHub repository JustineDevs/premortem (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 52 tokens to every session and 6,558 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 2 findings (makes network calls, runs shell commands). It is 100% identical to deserialization-insecure, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
