server-side

server-side is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from transilienceai/communitytools. It costs 33 tokens per session (492 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for testing server-side security weaknesses, including unwanted internal requests, path traversal, unsafe file uploads, and insecure data deserialization. Server-side means the code runs on a web server rather than in a user's browser.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to identify server-side processing points, test the listed vulnerability types, examine protection bypasses, and document evidence such as unauthorized file access or code execution.
Why use it?
It gives security testing a defined set of attack areas and a process for collecting proof of impact.

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

server-side 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (reference/scenarios/deserialization/tools/aspnet_viewstate_build.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.

What it actually says

Server-Side

Test for server-side vulnerabilities that allow unauthorized access, RCE, or data exfiltration.

Techniques

Type Key Vectors
SSRF Internal service access, cloud metadata, protocol smuggling
HTTP Smuggling CL.TE, TE.CL, TE.TE, CL.0, H2.CL, h2c, multi-layer proxy chains, connection pooling desync
Path Traversal Directory traversal, null bytes, encoding bypass
File Upload Extension bypass, content-type manipulation, polyglot files
Deserialization Java, PHP, Python, .NET gadget chains
Host Header Password reset poisoning, cache poisoning, routing-based SSRF
CUPS / cups-browsed CVE-2024-47076/47175/47176/47177 — UDP browse → IPP injection → PPD injection → foomatic-rip RCE (see skills/infrastructure/reference/scenarios/network-recon/cups-browsed-rce.md)

Workflow

  1. Identify server-side processing points
  2. Test for vulnerability class indicators
  3. Bypass protections (WAF, allowlists, encoding filters)
  4. Demonstrate impact (file read, RCE, internal access)
  5. Capture evidence with PoC

Files

What ships with it

49 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

server-side is a skill published in the GitHub repository transilienceai/communitytools (507 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 33 tokens to every session and 492 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
