deserialization

deserialization is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from sanjaysaini1952/BugBounty-Arsenal. It costs 0 tokens per session (294 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A security-testing method for finding unsafe deserialization, where an application turns attacker-controlled data back into objects or program structures.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to test PHP, Java, Python, .NET, YAML, and JSON handling for signs of object injection, unsafe parsing, or remote code execution.
Why use it?
It can reveal whether crafted input might create unexpected objects or execute commands on the server.

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

deserialization scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 11d 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.

What it actually says

Deserialization Hunting Skill — 5 Test Cases

Load when: deserialization, unsafe deserialization, object injection, serialized object.

192. PHP object injection (medium)

Send O:8:"stdClass":0:{} or crafted serialized string. If error mentions class not found, deserialization is occurring.

193. Java deserialization (hard)

Send aced0005 (magic bytes) in request body. If java.io.InvalidClassException or ClassCastException in error, report.

194. Python pickle deserialization (hard)

Send S'os'\nVid\n. (pickle payload). If command execution occurs, report RCE.

195. .NET deserialization (hard)

Send AAEAAAD/////AQAAAAAAAAAMAgAAAFRlc3Q... (base64 BinaryFormatter). Check for gadget chains.

196. YAML/JSON deserialization (hard)

Send !!python/object/apply:os.system ["id"] in YAML. If executed, report RCE via YAML parser.

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.

deserialization is a skill published in the GitHub repository sanjaysaini1952/BugBounty-Arsenal (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 294 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (runs shell commands). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
