hunting-server-side-rendering-and-svg-image-abuse

hunting-server-side-rendering-and-svg-image-abuse is a skill for Claude Code from UnboundCompute/security-agent-skills. It costs 164 tokens per session (2,185 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A security hunt for unsafe server-side rendering of user-controlled markup or images. It covers tools that turn HTML, SVG, URLs, or documents into PDFs, screenshots, thumbnails, previews, charts, or other output.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review PDF and screenshot services, SVG rasterizers, thumbnailers, chart generators, and document converters for network, file, and script access.
Why use it?
A renderer often behaves like a small browser and may fetch internal URLs, read local files, follow redirects, or run scripts from attacker-controlled 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

hunting-server-side-rendering-and-svg-image-abuse 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.

Hunting server-side rendering and SVG image abuse: when generating a document fetches the attacker's URL

To turn a user's content into a PDF, a screenshot, or a thumbnail, a server hands markup or a URL to a renderer, and a renderer is a small browser: it resolves links, loads images, follows redirects, and often runs script and reads local files. When that content is attacker-controlled, the renderer becomes a request engine operating from inside the network, fetching an internal address or cloud-metadata endpoint, reading a local file through a file scheme or an external entity, calling out to a host that proves the render happened, or executing script that reads the rendered page. The bug is not the markup; it is a renderer left free to resolve whatever the document points at, running server-side with network and file reach the user never should have. You find these by locating every server-side render of untrusted content and reading what the renderer is allowed to resolve.

When to use

  • A service renders user-supplied HTML or SVG server-side into a PDF, an image, a screenshot, or a preview.
  • A thumbnailer, chart generator, or document converter processes untrusted files or URLs on the server.
  • A feature fetches and renders a user-supplied URL to produce a preview, an archive, or an export.

Scope check

Test server-side rendering only against systems you own or are authorized to assess, on non-production infrastructure, using benign local markers and a destination you control for any fetch, never pulling real secrets or reaching third-party addresses. A confirmed case reaches internal services, so keep every probe inside the authorized scope and prefer an isolated instance. If you can't name the authorization, stop.

The loop

  1. Establish what the renderer is allowed to resolve first. For each renderer, determine whether it will fetch remote URLs, follow redirects, resolve local-file schemes, load external entities, and execute script, or whether it runs sandboxed with the network disabled, external subresources blocked, and script off. This is the false-positive killer: a renderer that resolves nothing external cannot be driven to fetch a URL or read a file no matter what the document contains, so name the renderer's capabilities before crafting a document.
