Zen-Ai-Pentest: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/poc-validator/SKILL.md

poc-validator is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from SHAdd0WTAka/Zen-Ai-Pentest. It costs 86 tokens per session (1,190 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A security-testing workflow for checking whether a suspected vulnerability can actually be exploited. A proof of concept is a controlled demonstration that a weakness works.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create and run test payloads in a sandbox for issues such as SQL injection, command injection, path traversal, XML attacks, or known software vulnerabilities.
Why use it?
A reported vulnerability may be theoretical or misconfigured. Controlled testing helps distinguish a real exploitable problem from a false alarm.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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

poc-validator 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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 5 executable files (scripts/__init__.py, scripts/cleanup_sandbox.py, scripts/payload_generator.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.

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.

PoC-Validator Skill

Validates vulnerability exploitability through controlled payload generation, sandboxed execution, and success verification.

Quick Start

Generate and validate a PoC for SQL injection:

from scripts.payload_generator import PayloadGenerator
from scripts.sandbox_executor import SandboxExecutor
from scripts.verify_exploit import ExploitVerifier

# Generate payload
gen = PayloadGenerator()
payload = gen.generate_sql_payload(
    target_url="http://target.com/login",
    parameter="username",
    technique="error_based"
)

# Execute in sandbox
executor = SandboxExecutor()
result = await executor.execute_sqlmap(
    target="http://target.com/login",
    payload=payload,
    risk_level=2
)

# Verify success
verifier = ExploitVerifier()
is_exploitable = await verifier.verify_sql_injection(result)

Workflow

1. Payload Generation

Use scripts/payload_generator.py for:

  • CVE-based exploits: Lookup known payloads from vulnerability_mapping.json
  • SQL Injection: Error-based, Union-based, Time-based, Boolean-based
  • Command Injection: System command payloads with evasion techniques
  • Path Traversal: Directory traversal sequences
  • XXE/XML Injection: External entity payloads

See references/payload_patterns.md for complete payload library.

2. Sandbox Execution

Use scripts/sandbox_executor.py for isolated exploit testing:

  • Docker container isolation with resource limits
  • Network isolation (no egress to private ranges)
  • Execution timeouts (default: 300s)
  • Read-only filesystem with tmpfs for output
  • Automatic cleanup post-execution

Critical: All exploit execution MUST use sandbox. Never run exploits directly on host.

3. Success Verification

Use scripts/verify_exploit.py to confirm exploitation:

  • SQL Injection: Detect database version extraction, table enumeration
  • RCE: Verify command output in response
  • Auth Bypass: Confirm session token/admin access
  • Data Exfiltration: Detect sensitive data patterns in responses
  • File Upload: Verify file presence/execution

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.

poc-validator is a skill published in the GitHub repository SHAdd0WTAka/Zen-Ai-Pentest (455 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 86 tokens to every session and 1,190 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.
