chain-xss-to-takeover is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from PurpleAILAB/Decepticon. It costs 21 tokens per session (128 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A playbook for testing whether a cross-site scripting flaw can lead to account takeover or privileged actions. Cross-site scripting, or XSS, runs attacker-controlled code in another user's browser.

In plain words
What is it for?
It covers checking browser-side execution, session or CSRF token theft, privileged actions, and lasting account impact.
Why use it?

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

chain-xss-to-takeover 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 9d 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.

What it actually says

Chain: XSS to Takeover

Canonical path

  1. Confirm script execution in victim context.
  2. Steal session/CSRF token or trigger privileged action.
  3. Use stolen material to access victim/admin account.
  4. Demonstrate durable account impact.

Validation

Include both browser-side evidence and server-side action confirmation.

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.
