Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00058 | $0.04576 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00023 | $0.01830 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00915 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00458 |
Grade A, and why
CacheDeception 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 1mo 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.

Cache Deception Skill
Expert-level web cache exploitation for bug bounty hunting. Covers URL parsing discrepancies between CDNs and origin servers that enable cache deception (hijack sensitive data) and cache poisoning (store malicious payloads).
When to Activate
- "cache deception" → Arbitrary Web Cache Deception section
- "cache poisoning" → Arbitrary Web Cache Poisoning section
- "CDN bypass" → URL Discrepancies section
- "path confusion" → Delimiters & Normalization sections
- "static extension" → Static Extensions Exploitation
- "cache key" → Key Normalization section
Core Concepts
Web Cache Deception
Trick the cache into storing dynamic responses containing sensitive user data. Attacker creates malicious URL, victim clicks it, their authenticated response gets cached, attacker retrieves it.
Impact: Token theft, API key leakage, PII exposure, account takeover
Web Cache Poisoning
Store malicious payloads in cache under legitimate keys. All users requesting that resource receive the poisoned response.
Impact: Mass XSS, redirect hijacking, full site defacement
The Key Insight
CDNs and origin servers parse URLs differently. Exploit these discrepancies to:
- Make cache think a dynamic response is static (deception)
- Make cache store response under a different key than intended (poisoning)
URL Discrepancies
Delimiters
Different servers treat different characters as path delimiters:
| Server/Framework | Delimiter | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Spring (Java) | ; (semicolon) |
/myAccount;var=val → /myAccount |
| Ruby on Rails | . (dot) |
/myAccount.css → /myAccount (default view) |
| OpenLiteSpeed | %00 (null byte) |
/myAccount%00xxx → /myAccount |
| Nginx (rewrite) | %0a (newline) |
/myAccount%0axxx → /myAccount |
CDN Delimiter Behavior
| CDN | Uses # as delimiter? |
Uses ; as delimiter? |
|---|---|---|
| CloudFlare | NO | NO |
| CloudFront | YES | NO |
| GCP | ERROR | NO |
| Azure | YES | NO |
| Imperva | NO | NO |
| Fastly | NO | NO |
What ships with it
2 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.
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.

CacheDeception is a skill published in the GitHub repository SecurityTalent/bugskill-ai (13 stars, last pushed 21d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 58 tokens to every session and 4,576 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
