authenticated-session-acquisition

authenticated-session-acquisition is a skill for Claude Code from transilienceai/communitytools. It costs 114 tokens per session (1,332 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for obtaining one legitimate logged-in session through multi-factor authentication, such as a text-message code or authenticator code, and saving it for later testing.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps authorized testers examine logged-in APIs and applications for access-control flaws, unsafe data changes, injection issues, session problems, and API pivots.
Why use it?
It gives testers access to features and data that cannot be examined before login. It keeps the browser session and API token as reusable files instead of placing secrets in prompts or notes.

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

authenticated-session-acquisition 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 8d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 60 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Authenticated Session Acquisition

On financial and multi-tenant targets the login is gated by SMS OTP / TOTP MFA that an autonomous run cannot satisfy, so the post-auth surface (BOLA/IDOR/mass-assignment/injection on the real data APIs, session handling, API pivots) silently collapses to pre-auth findings only. This skill's job is narrow and concrete: get one legitimate authenticated session and hand it to the executors as a reusable artifact. It does not attack the auth mechanism — see authentication for that.

The artifact contract (how the session reaches executors)

Emit both, into the engagement's OUTPUT_DIR, referenced BY NAME (never inline secrets — credential-loading.md):

  • OUTPUT_DIR/<asset>/session/storageState.json — the Playwright storage state (cookies + localStorage) for browser-driven post-auth testing.
  • OUTPUT_DIR/<asset>/session/bearer.txt — the raw access/ID token (+ its expires_at) for direct API replay.

Executors consume these exactly like any env-loaded secret: the scope file's creds_env names the realm, and the session path is passed as a file reference, so no token is ever written into a prompt, experiments.md, or attack-chain.md. Re-run this skill when the token expires (record expires_at; refresh rather than re-login where a refresh token exists).

Modes (pick by what the client can provide)

Mode When How
TOTP-from-seed The client shared the TOTP secret (Base32 seed) for a test account Generate the current code deterministically with tools/totp_now.py <BASE32_SEED>, submit it in the login flow. Fully autonomous, repeatable.
Explicit-OTP The operator can read a one-time code (SMS/email/authenticator) at run time Drive login to the OTP prompt, the operator supplies the code once, continue.
Human-in-the-loop resume OTP arrives out-of-band and the run must pause Persist the pre-OTP browser context, pause; the operator completes the challenge; resume and capture storageState.

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.
