vulnerability-triage

vulnerability-triage is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from provos/ironcurtain. It costs 121 tokens per session (5,021 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A reference guide for interpreting vulnerability findings and separating what a detector found from what an attacker could actually do.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to interpret sanitizer crashes, fuzzing results, static-analysis alerts, taint traces, and similar findings, then describe their security impact and severity.
Why use it?
It helps prevent theoretical risks from being reported as proven production impact and anchors severity in demonstrated evidence.

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

vulnerability-triage 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 12d 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.

Vulnerability Triage

Reference vocabulary for interpreting what an investigation actually demonstrated and translating it into threat-model language. Catalogs the rubric, disqualifiers, scoring conventions, and pitfalls a triage decision needs to reason about.

Core rule

Severity is anchored on what was actually demonstrated, never on the theoretical maximum implied by the vulnerable code. A detector firing on an isolated harness — sanitizer, fuzz crash, static analyzer hit, tainted-flow report, schema-validator alert, assertion failure — proves the detector caught something. It does NOT prove attacker-visible impact. Confidentiality, integrity, and availability claims require the corresponding effect to have been observed in production-equivalent conditions. When the demonstrated observation is weaker than the theoretical ceiling, score the demonstrated level and label the ceiling as such.

Detector evidence vs impact evidence

These two are routinely confused. Hold the line between them.

Detector evidence is anything a tool flagged: ASAN / UBSAN / TSAN / MSan crash, libFuzzer reproducer, static-analyzer warning, taint-flow trace, assertion site, schema-validator alert, AST pattern match. Detector evidence proves the detector caught an anomaly at the named site. It says nothing on its own about whether an attacker can reach that site, supply attacker-useful values, or observe the result.

Impact evidence is an observation of an attacker-visible CIA effect under production-equivalent conditions: reading bytes the attacker did not previously hold, mutating state the attacker did not previously control, denying service to a user other than the attacker, gaining a capability the attacker did not previously have. Impact evidence is anchored on observable artifacts — a crash, sanitizer trace, changed output, callback fired, file read, error message, measurable state change.

"Ran without error" is not impact evidence. If the expected effect was not observed, either the experiment was wrong or the bug is not triggered — diagnose which; do not paper over. A finding supported only by detector evidence is a detector hit awaiting demonstration, not a confirmed vulnerability.

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.

vulnerability-triage is a skill published in the GitHub repository provos/ironcurtain (604 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 121 tokens to every session and 5,021 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
