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 | $0.00037 | $0.04586 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00018 | $0.02293 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00917 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00459 |
Grade C, and why
upload-insecure-files scanned grade C with 1 finding 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.

92% identical to upload-insecure-files — 4 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.

SKILL: Upload Insecure Files — Validation Bypass, Storage Abuse, and Processing Chains
AI LOAD INSTRUCTION: Expert file upload attack playbook. Use when the target accepts files, imports, avatars, media, documents, or archives and you need the full workflow: validation bypass, storage path abuse, post-upload access, parser exploitation, multi-tenant overwrite, and chaining into XSS, XXE, CMDi, traversal, or business logic impact. For web server parsing vulnerabilities, PUT method exploitation, and specific CVEs (WebLogic, Flink, Tomcat), load the companion SCENARIOS.md.

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.

upload-insecure-files is a skill published in the GitHub repository miru-zero/zero-brain (0 stars, last pushed 19d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 37 tokens to every session and 4,586 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (cloud metadata endpoint). It is 92% identical to upload-insecure-files, differing in 4 lines, and is treated as a copy.
