auditing-group-policy-and-sysvol-trust

auditing-group-policy-and-sysvol-trust is a skill for Claude Code from UnboundCompute/security-agent-skills. It costs 176 tokens per session (2,153 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A security-audit guide for Windows domain Group Policy and its SYSVOL file share. Group Policy is a set of instructions applied to domain computers, while SYSVOL stores policy files that those computers read.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review permissions on policy objects, SYSVOL files, and policy links, and to inspect scripts, scheduled tasks, software installation, and security settings they control.
Why use it?
It helps detect when a low-privileged account can change policies, their files, or their targets and then run code across many machines. It also checks for credentials exposed in policy files and unverified content.

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

auditing-group-policy-and-sysvol-trust 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 1mo 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 138 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Auditing group policy and SYSVOL trust: when a writable policy runs on every machine

Group policy is a domain-wide instruction stream: a policy object names settings, scripts, scheduled tasks, and software, its files live on a share every domain machine reads, and its links decide which machines apply it. Machines apply that policy with high privilege and largely without questioning it. That is safe only when nobody below a domain administrator can change what a policy says, where its files live, or which machines it targets. When a low-privileged principal can write a policy object, edit its files on the share, or alter its link, they run their own scripts and tasks on every machine in scope. A second failure hides in the content itself: a credential stored in a policy file that every domain user can read, or an unsigned policy file a machine applies without verifying its origin. The bug is trust in policy content or scope that a non-administrator can influence. You audit these by reading who can write each policy, its share files, and its links, and what the content discloses.

When to use

  • Policy objects, their files on the domain share, or their links may be writable by non-administrators.
  • A policy file on the share may carry a stored credential readable by any domain user.
  • Policy files may be applied without verifying their origin or may be world-readable on the share.

Scope check

Audit policy and share trust only in directories you own or are authorized to assess, on non-production or a lab domain, making only reversible changes to test policy objects you are permitted to modify and never altering a production policy. A confirmed write runs code on every targeted machine, so keep every probe within scope. If you can't name the authorization, stop.

The loop

  1. Establish who can actually write the policy, its files, and its link first. For each policy object, read the permissions on the object, on its files on the domain share, and on its links, and determine whether a low-privileged principal holds a write to any of them. This is the false-positive killer: a policy whose object, share files, and links are writable only by administrators cannot be turned against the machines it applies to, however powerful its content. Name the specific write before claiming a path.

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.
