injection-checking

An injection-testing router helps identify where attacker-controlled input ends up, such as a web page, database, template, URL request, XML parser, or system command.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to classify an injection issue and choose a deeper guide for XSS, SQL injection, SSRF, XXE, template injection, command injection, NoSQL injection, or related types.
Why use it?
It removes the guesswork when several kinds of injection may be possible. It points you to the relevant testing workflow.

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

injection-checking 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 2d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

98% identical to injection-checking — 6 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.

What it actually says

Injection Testing Router

This is the routing entry point when input reaches a dangerous interpreter or execution environment.

After confirming this is an injection-class issue, use it to decide whether it is mainly browser context, database, template engine, server-side requests, XML parsing, or system commands.

When to Use

  • Input reaches HTML, JS, SQL, templates, URL fetchers, XML parsers, or shell
  • You have not yet decided whether to start with XSS, SQLi, SSRF, XXE, SSTI, CMDi, or NoSQL
  • You need to choose the correct deep-topic skill based on input flow

Skill Map

  1. First identify the final sink of the input
  2. Then choose the topic skill that best matches that interpreter
  3. Small payload samples and quick triage are merged into each main skill; no extra payload router is needed
Files

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.

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.
