redis-attack

redis-attack is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from wgpsec/AboutSecurity. It costs 106 tokens per session (2,517 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A guide to exploiting Redis when it has no authentication or a weak password, including attempts to access data or run commands on the host.

In plain words
What is it for?
It supports unauthorised-access checks, data extraction, scheduled-task and replication attacks, module loading, webshell and SSH-key writing, Lua injection, Pub/Sub monitoring, and persistence testing.
Why use it?
It helps assess the impact of an exposed Redis service, from data theft and file changes to remote command execution and persistence.

  • NVIDIA SkillSpector warn 7 Sept 2026
SkillSpector: 3 findings, up to critical

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • critical YARA Match · line 117
    YARA rule matched a known webshell pattern (PHP, Python, JSP, or ASPX webshell).
    Fix: Remove the webshell code immediately. Webshells provide unauthorized remote command execution. Audit the skill for additional backdoors or persistence mechanisms.
  • critical YARA Match · line 127
    YARA rule matched a known malware signature (reverse shell, backdoor, ransomware, C2 framework, or info stealer).
    Fix: Remove the malware payload or compromised file entirely. Investigate how it entered the skill and audit all other artifacts for additional indicators of compromise.
  • high YARA Match · line 24
    YARA rule matched a hack tool or exploit indicator (offensive tools, reconnaissance, privilege escalation, or exploit frameworks).
    Fix: Remove offensive tool references and exploit code. Legitimate agent skills should not contain penetration testing tools, exploit frameworks, or reconnaissance utilities.

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

redis-attack scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

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.
