kubernetes-pentesting

kubernetes-pentesting is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ShulkwiSEC/bb-huge. It costs 54 tokens per session (3,505 once invoked), scanned D, a copy of kubernetes-pentesting, MIT.

A Kubernetes penetration-testing playbook for assessing cluster APIs, service accounts, workloads, nodes, and cloud integrations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess API-server access, RBAC, etcd, the Kubelet API, service-account tokens, admission controls, network policies, registries, and pod-to-node escape paths.
Why use it?
It organizes checks for common cluster weaknesses, including exposed APIs, excessive permissions, leaked secrets, pod escapes, and access to cloud metadata.

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 D, and why

kubernetes-pentesting scanned grade D with 5 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.

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.

curl -sk https://NODE_IP:10250/run/NAMESPACE/POD_NAME/CONTAINER_NAME -d "cmd=id"

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

Harvests environment variablesmediumData exfiltration

Enumerating or grepping the environment for keys collects credentials unrelated to what the mod says it does.

# If SA has elevated permissions — dump secrets, create privileged pod:

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

Reaches for credential filesmediumPrivilege escalation

SSH keys, cloud credentials, git-credentials, .npmrc, /etc/shadow: reading these is how a config file becomes a credential leak.

# Common kubeconfig locations: ~/.kube/config, /etc/kubernetes/admin.conf,

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

Cloud metadata endpointmediumServer-side request forgery

One request to 169.254.169.254 can return temporary IAM credentials.

curl -s http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/iam/security-credentials/

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.

SKILL: Kubernetes Pentesting — Expert Attack Playbook

AI LOAD INSTRUCTION: Expert Kubernetes attack techniques. Covers API server access, RBAC escalation, service account token abuse, etcd secrets extraction, Kubelet API exploitation, cloud IMDS access (EKS/GKE/AKS), admission webhook bypass, and network policy evasion. Base models miss the distinction between namespace-scoped and cluster-scoped RBAC, and overlook Kubelet's unauthenticated API.

Before going deep, consider loading:

kubernetes-pentesting is a skill published in the GitHub repository ShulkwiSEC/bb-huge (22 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 54 tokens to every session and 3,505 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it D with 5 findings (sends data to an external url, harvests environment variables, reaches for credential files). It is 100% identical to kubernetes-pentesting, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
