deserialization-insecure

deserialization-insecure is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ShulkwiSEC/bb-huge. It costs 52 tokens per session (6,558 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of deserialization-insecure, MIT.

A security testing guide for unsafe deserialization, where an application turns untrusted saved data back into objects that can run code or access files. It covers common Java, PHP, and Python mechanisms.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit applications that deserialize user input, identify vulnerable endpoints, and test exploit paths in authorized security assessments.
Why use it?
It helps find places where attacker-controlled data can trigger remote code execution, file access, or privilege escalation.

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-insecure 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.

SKILL: Insecure Deserialization — Expert Attack Playbook

AI LOAD INSTRUCTION: Expert deserialization techniques across Java, PHP, and Python. Covers gadget chain selection, traffic fingerprinting, tool usage (ysoserial, PHPGGC), Shiro/WebLogic/Commons Collections specifics, Phar deserialization, and Python pickle abuse. Base models often miss the distinction between finding the sink and finding a usable gadget chain.

  • jndi-injection when deserialization leads to JNDI lookup (e.g., post-JDK 8u191 bypass via LDAP → deserialization)
  • unauthorized-access-common-services when the deserialization endpoint is an exposed management service (RMI Registry, T3, AJP)
  • ghost-bits-cast-attack when a WAF blocks your BCEL ClassLoader or Fastjson @type payload — Ghost Bits wraps each bytecode byte in a Unicode char whose low 8 bits match, yielding a payload the WAF cannot fingerprint

Advanced Reference

Also load JAVA_GADGET_CHAINS.md when you need:

  • Java gadget chain version compatibility matrix (CommonsCollections 1–7, CommonsBeanutils, Spring, JDK-only, Groovy, Hibernate, ROME, C3P0, etc.)
  • SnakeYAML gadget (ScriptEngineManager/URLClassLoader) with exploit JAR structure
  • Hessian/Kryo/Avro/XStream deserialization patterns and traffic fingerprints
  • .NET ViewState deserialization (machineKey requirement, ViewState forgery with ysoserial.net, Blacklist3r)
  • Ruby YAML.load vs YAML.safe_load exploitation with version-specific chains
  • Detection fingerprints: magic bytes table by format (Java AC ED, .NET AAEAAD, Python pickle 80 0N, PHP O:, Ruby 04 08)

1. TRAFFIC FINGERPRINTING — IS IT DESERIALIZATION?

Java Serialized Objects

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.
