command-injection-methodology

command-injection-methodology is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from wgpsec/AboutSecurity. It costs 66 tokens per session (1,851 once invoked), scanned B, original, no licence file.

A guide to finding and testing OS command injection, where user input is accidentally run as a command on the server.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when testing features such as ping, traceroute, DNS lookup, or other tools that pass input to shell commands.
Why use it?
It helps identify cases where attackers could make a server run unintended commands, including cases where the output is hidden or filtered.

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 B, and why

command-injection-methodology scanned grade B with 2 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.

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.

Encoded or obfuscated payloadmediumSupply chain

base64 or hex that is decoded and executed hides what actually runs from anyone reading the file.

- 编码: `echo Y2F0IC9mbGFn | base64 -d | sh`

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.

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.
