analyzing-sudo-rules-for-privesc-vectors

analyzing-sudo-rules-for-privesc-vectors is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from withcrux/agentHack-skills. It costs 70 tokens per session (1,535 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A Linux security skill for finding and exploiting unsafe sudo rules to gain higher permissions. Sudo rules control which commands a user may run with administrator privileges.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to practise Linux privilege-escalation testing, including sudo rule enumeration, NOPASSWD entries, wildcard abuse, preload injection, and allowed-command lookups.
Why use it?
It helps reveal how incorrectly configured sudo access can let a lower-privileged user become an administrator. It is intended for isolated lab environments.

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

analyzing-sudo-rules-for-privesc-vectors scanned grade A 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 11d 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.

Asks for rootlowPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

Enumerate and exploit sudo misconfigurations on Linux systems to escalate

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

A licence we could not identify

The repository carries a LICENSE file, but it is custom or dual enough that GitHub cannot name it and neither can this catalogue. Unknown terms are not permission, so the body is not copied here. Read the licence at the source and decide for yourself.

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.

analyzing-sudo-rules-for-privesc-vectors is a skill published in the GitHub repository withcrux/agentHack-skills (5 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), with no licence file. It adds 70 tokens to every session and 1,535 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 2 findings (asks for root, runs shell commands). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
