oss-forensics

oss-forensics is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from sairam0424/MindForge. It costs 64 tokens per session (4,684 once invoked), scanned B, a copy of oss-forensics, MIT.

A framework for investigating deleted commits, force-pushed history, and possible supply-chain attacks in open-source GitHub repositories. It gathers evidence from sources such as GitHub history, archives, web archives, and local Git data.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for examining repository history, recovering deleted work, detecting force pushes, extracting indicators of compromise, testing investigation hypotheses, and producing evidence-linked reports.
Why use it?
It provides a structured way to recover and compare evidence when repository history may have been changed or suspicious code may have been introduced. It separates verified facts from unverified hypotheses.

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

oss-forensics 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 yesterday.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/evidence-store.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Unrestricted tool accessmediumExcessive agency

A wildcard tool grant or "run any command" leaves no least-privilege boundary at all.

**ROLE BOUNDARY**: You enrich EXISTING IOCs from Phase 1 using passive public sources ONLY. Do not execute any code from the target repository.

OSS Security Forensics Skill

A 7-phase multi-agent investigation framework for researching open-source supply chain attacks. Adapted from RAPTOR's forensics system. Covers GitHub Archive, Wayback Machine, GitHub API, local git analysis, IOC extraction, evidence-backed hypothesis formation and validation, and final forensic report generation.


⚠️ Anti-Hallucination Guardrails

Read these before every investigation step. Violating them invalidates the report.

  1. Evidence-First Rule: Every claim in any report, hypothesis, or summary MUST cite at least one evidence ID (EV-XXXX). Assertions without citations are forbidden.
  2. STAY IN YOUR LANE: Each sub-agent (investigator) has a single data source. Do NOT mix sources. The GH Archive investigator does not query the GitHub API, and vice versa. Role boundaries are hard.
  3. Fact vs. Hypothesis Separation: Mark all unverified inferences with [HYPOTHESIS]. Only statements verified against original sources may be stated as facts.
  4. No Evidence Fabrication: The hypothesis validator MUST mechanically check that every cited evidence ID actually exists in the evidence store before accepting a hypothesis.
  5. Proof-Required Disproval: A hypothesis cannot be dismissed without a specific, evidence-backed counter-argument. "No evidence found" is not sufficient to disprove—it only makes a hypothesis inconclusive.
  6. SHA/URL Double-Verification: Any commit SHA, URL, or external identifier cited as evidence must be independently confirmed from at least two sources before being marked as verified.
  7. Suspicious Code Rule: Never run code found inside the investigated repository locally. Analyze statically only, or use Bash in a sandboxed environment.
  8. Secret Redaction: Any API keys, tokens, or credentials discovered during investigation must be redacted in the final report. Log them internally only.

Example Scenarios

  • Scenario A: Dependency Confusion: A malicious package internal-lib-v2 is uploaded to NPM with a higher version than the internal one. The investigator must track when this package was first seen and if any PushEvents in the target repo updated package.json to this version.
  • Scenario B: Maintainer Takeover: A long-term contributor's account is used to push a backdoored .github/workflows/build.yml. The investigator looks for PushEvents from this user after a long period of inactivity or from a new IP/location (if detectable via BigQuery).
  • Scenario C: Force-Push Hide: A developer accidentally commits a production secret, then force-pushes to "fix" it. The investigator uses git fsck and GH Archive to recover the original commit SHA and verify what was leaked.

7 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

oss-forensics is a skill published in the GitHub repository sairam0424/MindForge (0 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 64 tokens to every session and 4,684 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (unrestricted tool access, makes network calls). It is 92% identical to oss-forensics, differing in 43 lines, and is treated as a copy.
