exploit-reporting

exploit-reporting is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from PurpleAILAB/Decepticon. It costs 35 tokens per session (5,797 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A reporting guide for documenting confirmed security exploits, including the access gained, affected systems, severity, reproduction details, and detection gaps.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write structured exploitation findings, assign CVSS severity, inventory shells or credentials, and record whether defensive monitoring detected the activity.
Why use it?
It turns a successful exploit into a clear record that others can reproduce, assess, and fix.

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

exploit-reporting 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 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.

Asks for rootlowPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

- Escalate privileges via local kernel or sudo misconfigurations

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

Exploitation Reporting Knowledge Base

Exploitation findings are only operationally useful when documented with enough precision that anyone can reproduce the access, understand the impact, and trace the full attack path. This skill defines how to structure, score, and persist exploitation findings within the Decepticon engagement directory.

1. Exploitation Finding Template

Every verified successful exploitation MUST produce a finding Markdown file in the active engagement workspace's findings/ directory named FIND-{NNN}.md. The file name and id field in YAML frontmatter (FIND-001, FIND-002, ...) are the canonical cross-reference — determine the next ID by counting existing files. Do not create placeholder finding files.

# [CRITICAL] Remote Code Execution via Apache Struts CVE-2023-50164 on 10.0.1.50:8080 — Root Shell Achieved

## Description

Apache Struts 2.5.30 is vulnerable to CVE-2023-50164, a file upload path traversal flaw in the `FileUploadInterceptor`. An unauthenticated attacker can manipulate the `Upload-Dir` parameter during a multipart upload request to traverse outside the intended upload directory and write an arbitrary file — including a JSP webshell — to the web root. This achieves unauthenticated remote code execution as the Tomcat service account.

The vulnerability exists because `FileUploadInterceptor` does not canonicalize the destination path before writing, allowing `../` sequences to escape the configured upload directory.

## Steps to Reproduce

```bash
# 1. Confirm the target is running Struts (identified during recon)
curl -s -I http://10.0.1.50:8080/struts2/ | grep -i server

exploit-reporting is a skill published in the GitHub repository PurpleAILAB/Decepticon (5,445 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 35 tokens to every session and 5,797 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 2 findings (asks for root, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
