cmd-injection

cmd-injection is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from securityfortech/hacking-skills. It costs 104 tokens per session (1,742 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A security-testing guide for operating-system command injection, where user input is passed unsafely to a system shell. A shell is the program that runs operating-system commands.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for checking code that sends input to shell or command-execution functions, using separators, command substitutions, and time-delay tests.
Why use it?
It helps find inputs that let attackers add commands to an operation intended to run only a fixed command.

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

cmd-injection 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 3d 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.

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

compatibility: Designed for Claude Code. Requires curl, Burp Suite or OWASP ZAP, Commix (optional).

Runs shell commandslowCapability

Expected in a hook, worth knowing in a rule or an instructions file.

OS command injection occurs when user input is passed unsanitized to a system shell via dangerous APIs: Java `Runtime.exec()`, Python `os.system/subprocess`, PHP `system/shell_exec/exec/proc_open`, C `system/exec`. Detec

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.
