cookie-attacks

cookie-attacks is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ShulkwiSEC/bb-huge. It costs 109 tokens per session (2,342 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for checking whether session cookies are configured safely. Session cookies are browser values that keep users signed in.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review Secure, HttpOnly, SameSite, Domain, Path, expiration, cache, logout, and session-token behavior.
Why use it?
It helps find cookie settings that could allow interception, JavaScript theft, cross-site request forgery, subdomain theft, or reuse after logout.

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

cookie-attacks 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 7d 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.

Sends data to an external URLlowData exfiltration

A POST to an outside endpoint may be telemetry or may be exfiltration; either way the mod talks to somewhere, and you should know where.

r = requests.post("https://TARGET/login",

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

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

What Is Broken and Why

Session cookies are the primary authentication artifact in web applications. Missing security attributes expose them to theft via network interception (Secure absent), JavaScript injection attacks (HttpOnly absent), cross-site request forgery (SameSite absent), and cross-subdomain theft (Domain too broad). Cookies that persist beyond the session or survive logout allow session restoration attacks. In SSO environments, application-level logout without central-portal logout leaves the authenticated state intact across all federated applications. Predictable tokens reduce the brute-force cost of session forgery to practical levels.

Key Signals

  • Set-Cookie response missing Secure flag on any session cookie
  • Set-Cookie response missing HttpOnly flag on session cookies
  • Set-Cookie with SameSite=None but application is not a cross-site embedded resource
  • SameSite attribute absent (defaults to Lax in modern browsers, but None in older ones)
  • Domain=.TARGET (leading dot) set too broadly — accessible to all subdomains
  • Path=/ for cookies that should scope to /bank or /admin
  • Session cookie has Expires far in the future or is persistent (survives browser close)
  • Cookie names lack __Host- or __Secure- prefixes
  • Authenticated page responses missing Cache-Control: no-store
  • After logout, old session cookie still returns 200 on authenticated endpoints (no server-side invalidation)
  • Back button after logout displays cached authenticated page content
  • In SSO: application logout does not invalidate central SSO session token

Methodology

  1. Attribute audit: Intercept all Set-Cookie headers across the application; check every session and auth cookie for Secure, HttpOnly, SameSite, Domain, Path, Expires.
  2. Cookie prefix check: Verify whether session cookies use __Host- (strongest binding) or __Secure- prefixes.
  3. Scope verification: Test if cookies with broad Domain attributes are accessible from sibling subdomains (security boundary check).
  4. Persistence test: Close browser entirely; reopen and navigate to authenticated pages; check if session persists (persistent cookie vulnerability).
  5. Logout server-side invalidation: After logout, copy the session cookie; replay it against authenticated endpoints in Burp Repeater; observe if 200 or redirect to login.
  6. Back-button cache: Log out; press browser Back button; observe if authenticated page content is visible from cache.
  7. Session timeout: Make an authenticated request; wait incrementally; determine inactivity timeout threshold.
  8. SSO logout: Log out of application; attempt access via SSO portal without re-entering credentials; then log out of SSO portal; attempt application access.
  9. Token entropy: Feed session tokens to Burp Sequencer; collect 200+ samples; analyze for effective entropy bits.

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.

cookie-attacks is a skill published in the GitHub repository ShulkwiSEC/bb-huge (22 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 109 tokens to every session and 2,342 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 2 findings (sends data to an external url, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
